Bike 2 - 2006 Pinarello Angliru
Ad for a friend, pm contact details to pass on.

58cm (suit someone 6'1"-6'3")
Frame, fork, headset and seatpost only.
Pictures available on request. Open to offers.

Bad stuff:

• The rear mech hanger has a frame saver fitted, following cross-threading it, which prevents the chain being able to engage the bottom gear (price will reflect this).
  
• Vertical drop outs (eccentric rear hub, half-link chain 'magic gear' or ss tensioner to convert to fixed or ss).
  
  
  

Good stuff:

• One poncy careful lycra roadie owner from new.
  
• Original list price was £760 for frame and forks.
  
• Good base for building a training or commuting road bike.
  
• Can throw in brakes, a pair of mechs, cassette, chain and chainset. Also some 9-speed Campag Veloce shifters and hoods that need rebuilding (Condor quoted about £25 to bring them to as-new condition.
  

Me!! you should have said hi

I probably couldn't have spoken even if I'd tried! That was my first time riding a bike through rush hour London at night, I'm fine with it now, but that first go was f'in scary!

Todays spot - guy with blonde dreads on a Colnago, had a LFGSS saddle thing, Waterloo Bridge.

Blonde mohawk, sunglasses, black frame, white vs this morning at the roundabout where Millbank joins Lambeth Bridge - Object?

Lo pro day today - pink frame with a yellow saddle and snow flake laced front wheel, Holborn at lunchtime, then a brakeless orange frame, Kingsway/Aldwych, 6.15pm. The orange one looked a nice and tidy.

First day commuting to work on the bike, and only just home. Will try and make it over later, if/when I start being able to feel my toes again.

In that case, I'll buy grease and have a go myself. If it all ends in tears I know who to blame now though! ;)

Not sure I like the idea of relying on my wussy legs to tighten up the freewheel! :s I'll bring the wheel along anyway, it'll flag me as the newbie atleast.

@ teenslain - I want to keep the fixed cog that's on there at the moment, I just want to put the freewheel on the other (currently bare) side of the hub, so I can go singlespeed for a while. It's probably the easiest thing in the world, but I'm worried about messing up the threads and/or building a death trap by doing it with trial and error by myself!

Cheeky I know, given I've never met any of you before, but if I bring a wheel with me tomorrow, could someone lend me a chain whip, and show me how to put my freewheel (1/8th) on the hub, in exchange for a pint or two? It's a flip-flop hub, already running fixed on one side, and I want to stick the freewheel on the other side. Thanks

I thought Fietsen Flanders in Oudenaarde was ok, admitedly its a train ride to nowhere from Bruges though (although the cycle museum there might be worth a visit).

:( I'm paying 3x that much for a shared house on the same road (it is a nice house though)!

Old Brixton co-op flat... He pays less than £200 a month for it... Bastard... With a garden... :/

Green and white Argos track bike, 9.30am at Holborn this morning. Think I've seen a photo of it on here before.

I'll try and make it over to this one week soon, given that I'm a bona fide resident of Herne Hill now.

Holborn around 1.45pm today, guy with black condor cap with world champ stripes, on a black frame. Lots of others too, but stopped counting when it started being every other one...

Very nearly finished now...

Guy with a red road frame conversion, red deep vs, red tyres, single speed (but with only a front brake!) at Victoria around 12.30pm today.

Horizontal top tube - I think they look better, and are easier to shoulder when carrying up stairs or on to trains etc. If I want to wear a skirt I can change at the office where I'll be getting out of bike gear anyway. Having said that I did buy a ladies framed bike for commuting, but only because I thought it would be unlikely to get nicked because it's less attractive (to my eyes atleast).

Sorry Polly, I think it will almost definately be too small. I'm 5ft 8", but have long legs (34"!) so usually need a 56cm road frame, and I guess you would need a similar size.

Various people have got a series of dibs on this now, so I'll be letting people who have expressed an interest know how it goes. Thanks!

• Peugeot 103 carbolite tubing
  
• Mixte frame (made 1984)
  
• 54cm (21”) – but can be set-up to ride smaller/shorter with lower saddle and cross-top levers (have got a pair I will sell if wanted).
  
• Single speed conversion (ghetto style - still got the 5 sprockets on the rear wheel and double chain ring – have kept all the original components though, so you can easily make it geared again (10 speed)
  
• Pretty blue colour with original (what looks like) hand-painted gold box lining on frame. Many paint chips though, and sporadic very light surface rust on things like the chainring and rims (no corrision), but could be scrubbed off without much hassle. No dents.
  
• Polo bike/pub bike for your gf?
  

• £no idea, Pm me a sensible offer? Prefer to sell it whole, but will relist as parts if lingers.

       I bought this 2 weeks ago intending it to be my cheapo hack commuter, but it’s turned out to be a fraction too small to be comfortable, so having replaced the broken things and done a quick/dirty ss conversion its for sale.
  

Things I replaced:

• Brakes levers, brake cables and bar tape (new Tektro levers fitted and cabled by LBS yesterday)
  
• Tubes and tyres (2 x new 27 x 11/4” Continental Ultrasports)
  
• Chain (new 3/32”)
  
• (The stem was also greased and refitted by LBS).
  

• I'm also going to take the spoke dish/pie plate and reflectors off it.

        The Brooks saddle is not included, but I can put the original Peugeot ladies one back on if wanted. It could definitely benefit from new brake blocks (it’s got the original Peugeot ones at the moment), but otherwise it’s ready to ride.
  

  View/pick up from Herne Hill, or could arrange meet up.

My 1985 peugeot has 27" wheels. And it's french thread all over too. Double joy.

Thanks Skully, I thought alu might be the way to go, the plastic 700c ones I've tried (unsuprisingly) just can't be wrestled into the right shape.

Just wanted to add a thumbs up for wiggle on the 27" tyres too though - I ordered them yesterday afternoon (with £5 discount, making them cheaper than SJS) and they've just turned up on my desk a second ago, using the free postage option.

SJS do 27" (630) rims and tyres:
http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/category-27-rim-(630)-170.htm
http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/category-27-(630)-203.htm

Wiggle also have a few cheap 27 x 1 1/4 tyres in stock (I bought some yesterday). I'd be interested to hear if anyone sells full mudguards for 27" wheels still though, because the 700c ones never fit without rubbing the tyre.

In the Oxford small ads today - "F moser frame small VGC £50 07855452294". He ran the same ad last week which also said "race frame, looks almost unused". Cheapness for someone if you can be bothered to come to Oxford to collect it? (London-Oxford return is £8 if you book a few days early).

Since I'm keeping the frame now, I might as well flaunt it - Grigio metallic (silvery-grey, kind of sparkly) and Pearl white.

I think a trip to Putney might be in order on Saturday.
