Ok, this is a long shot, but does anyone own a Ritchey Breakaway / Dahon Tournado / other bike with a S&S Coupling that they would be interested in renting for 2 weeks at the end of June? Ideally something with a 54-56cm top tube (I'm 182cm).
Basically I'm training for an event in July, but have to take a two week trip to a Fijian island in June where there are no roads and no gym. My solution is to try and take a bike in a suitcase and a portable trainer, such as the Feedback Sports Portable Omnium Trainer.
The bike would be used for nothing other than sitting on the trainer in a hotel room.

Hi there. Yes, the Ritchey is very much still available. I just finished taking some photos of the bike and the (well loved) travel case.

I've just decided to part with my under-utilised (and rare in the UK) Ritchey Breakaway. If you're unfamiliar with these bikes, you can disassemble the frame and back the whole bike into a suitcase for travel, enabling you to avoid fees for sporting goods on flights. More info here.
A this stage I only have one photo, but will take more. Other details:
Virtual top tube 55.5cm c-t-c
Ultegra 9 speed
105 compact crank
Travel case includedFull spec to follow. Any questions, just ask!

Bought this incredible 2015 Cervelo R5 online at the end of October. Relied on poor advice from a bike fitter and ended up with a bike that's a fraction too big for me. :(
Ridden twice, but just can't get it to fit. Expensive mistake.
It's in showroom condition. You'll pay £5200 new, but my loss is your gain - asking £3690, but offers close to the pin will be considered... It's gotta go!
Photos to follow shortly. Happy to arrange viewings in East London.
Also, I'm the original purchaser and am happy to honour the warranty for the purchaser in the event it's ever required.
