I'm fishing for offers. £300 and its sold. Listed on ebay tomorrow.

I haven't seen it on this thread so... 'slack chain'

Nah wasn't me. I was over enfield way, pretty much only fixed for me these days

Love my cheap as hell Michelins. I remember trying Gatorskins and almost giving up and walking home because they just lost traction with no warning at all. Dreadful bloody things.
Michelin Dynamics, loads of road feel, decent grip and wear, less than £6 an end usually.

-1 to the gator skins, they are awful in the wet.

Oh sorry, has that one been on before?

What about this one?

Yeah Will seriously things are ok.

Very slippery out there. I've developed a bad habbit of skidding mid corner, puts a big smile on my face like a school kid as the tail steps out. But tonight the tail was snapping out big time, only stayed up by luck.

56cm new BIN 380. Not my size but still tempted

^ loving the matching pump

just the one bump

I'm just about to go up Kingsland road. Extra careful I'll be. Hope they managed to patch him up well after that encounter.

Nice buy.

Hmmm me too. Flying to Aus with one of my bikes in a box, the rest follow on a ship. Brixton cycles will give me the boxes and they are now collecting old hubs / axles I can fit to the rear dops. Virgin will only let you carry 1 bag up to 23 kg but sporting equipment goes free, up to 32kg.

where is fruitbat when we need him?

Oh sorry, CC beat me to it.

I'm waiting for the ever so funny thread about someone on here getting testicular cancer. That should be just as funny as someone nearly being blinded.

Ho ho ho. Tis the season...................

Don't bring Lance 'I am a chemical factory' Armstrong into this

Speak to them in Spanish, they'll smile and let you through. I love pedicabs because they make me feel so fast when I go by.

Tomity this is a brilliant thread and you've dug up some fantastic bits of history and the present. I might just have to make my next frame a Keiran! You are the best Keiran ambassador I've never met.

I've only ever spent a night at Narita airport but I still had a smile on my face. I can't wait to visit Japan properly.

.... or buy my condor posted in the classifieds today (smile face here). Those polished alloy / chrome components would look nice on a 531 frame.

I'd tend to agree - the xenon / mirage stuff is cheap, black and will lose the little value they have. 50/14 has made a good suggestion. Maybe the London Dynamo boys will have stuff for sale in their classifieds section.

I'm moving to Australia, so the sales begin.

First up: Condor Columbus Zonal 7005 Road Bike, 52cm

As it's not fixed I'm probably selling on the wrong spot. Just thought I'd offer it here first. So if I don't get decent offers by Friday, it goes on Ebay. To make an offer, please post here. I don't see much point in running a private PM auction.

Full Details:

• This model must be getting on for about 7 years of age, uncertain of the exact age as I'm the second owner.
  
• 'Condor Columbus Zonal'.
  
• It came to me with 900 miles on the bike computer (which is included). I did no more than 1500 miles on it in the 4 years I've had it. When you have 5 bikes, some of them don't get used very much.
  
• 7005 frame, it's tripple butted AND T6 treated, whatever that means. Top and down tubes are diamond profile.
  
• Measurements: Seat Tube 52cm, TT 53cm and the downtube is 62cm - all measurements ctc.
  
• Camponolo Veloce everything except the Record head set and Mavic Open Pro 36h rims (laced to Campag hubs) and ITM carbon forks (alloy steerer and dropouts). Note, the headset and forks are both 3 years old, I upgraded these after an alterceration with a roller blader. I didn't want to risk the original carbon forks, and the headset was just an excuse to get more campag gear onto it.
  
• Rear cassette is 23t to 12t, 9 speed. Chainrings are 53t and 39t.
  
• Tyres are 700c/23 Continental Duraskin. The frame should take a 700/25 but I can't imagine there is clearance for anything more.
  
• The saddle bag you see in the pic comes with the bike. In the bag is a spare tube or two, and a compressed gas inflation kit. The bike computer you get is a cateye wireless. It will come fitted with a new battery in both the transmitter and the comp itself.
  
• Peddals are shown as a serving suggestion, I'll keep those for my track bike build.
  
  

Hardly used, a great bike. I really haven't wanted to sell it, even though I don't ride it except for in Triathlons these days.

Pics follow.

Slightly off topic I know but you who ever rolls on this, put your hand up. Seen in Budapest last weekend.

Clapham Road tonight, I was overtaken by a rust brown langster, rider in blue and white company adverisment-wear. I couldn't see if it was fixed or ss - the chunky infant seat on the back blocked my view.

It's a bit confusing for mere commuters like me. You 'cogdown' to a cog with more teeth but your legs start to spinup more. It's too much, my head is hurting.

Just thought this thread was a nice spot to start a chat about gear ratios. What's the best ratio?
