My old track wheels are not being used anymore, so they must go. I've had them about 10 years and have only ever used them on the track and the guy I bought them from also was track use only, but they would work well on the road, they are super tough.

I think they are Mavic hubs and they are definitely Mavic Open Pro CD4 rims, which are super tough and very true, the hubs have a different style of fixing in that the axle does not finish in a massive nut thing, but a rather more dainty aluminium collar with a 5mm allen bolt holding it all together. I never had a problem with them doing up, but being rather anal I overtightened them once and the bolt went straight through one of the aluminium collars. But then again, I am 90kg and a big sprinter and they were always super tight and I guess fatigue got the better of this one (but then I do overtighten things on a regular basis) I put a washer in and did two more track seasons on them, so no probs there. They are 28 hole front and rear and have been brilliant wheels.

I have no idea of the value of such wheels, but they must have a retro value, so say £130 posted ?

As for the cog, well, its an Andel, its 18T and its BC1.34x24tpi whatever that means ! £10 posted ?

Where ???

A bike truly without floor.

6870 is Di2, this is standard 6800. And it is/was way overpriced, when you think that even Evans are doing them, brand spanking new for £1699 http://www.evanscycles.com/products/cannondale/super-6-evo-ultegra-2015-road-bike-ec071002

Unfortunately, I love Cannondale, but with their persistence at following built in obsolescence then, this happens all the time. And as for the Evo being the second in the range, its a range of TWO ! Evo Hi Mod and Evo, thats it.

ygpm ???

I've sent you a PM

Mark you have a text mate.

I know JonJones very well through buying from him and selling to him for years, I know him to be completely honest and not a troll, if he says the SiSL were not as described, then I believe him. As for telling anyone to piss off when they buy something in good faith and find it is not as described, not really polite in LFGSS land, or any forum come to that.

Might I suggest next time, if someone complains, a slightly more appropriate response would be "lets talk about it" as opposed to the other. But photos on an ad of the actual thing you are selling is a good way of proving what they were like before you sell them.

I'm off now.

I bought this as an upgrade from my Lumix compact and to be honest, I'm just not that much of a photographer to warrant it, it has sat on my desk since it arrived and I have taken about 6 photos (all of which were great with it), its time to admit the Cartier-Breson is safe from me :-(

Anyway, this is a brilliant small DSLR which takes amazing photos and has a great deal of artistic capabilities. It is in really excellent condition, comes with a strap and all the original bits and bobs, charger etc and well, its neat and small, just not small enough for me, if it doesn't fit in my pocket it doesn't come I'm afraid. The screen at the back has some slightly odd mottled appearance around the edges but doesn't affect anything really, just being complete !

But, hey I've already admitted I don't know much, but Steve Huff is a highly regarded reviewer and heres what he says :-

GX1 PROS:

Large range of useful m4/3 lenses and adaptors for non-m4/3 lenses

Extremely fast and accurate autofocus

Comfortable to hold, carry and use

Excellent add-on hi-res EVF (fits above the stereo mics without impeding audio)

External EVF locks in place (doesn’t slip out, as on previous Pannys & Olympus)

Built-in flash and also dedicated hot-shoe for external full-size flashgun

Higher ISO than previous models, up to 12,800 (but, realistically, 6400)

RAW and .jpeg files

Double-action thumbwheel, like previous Pannys, providing Aperture adjustment in various modes

Easier access to ‘creative’ functions than GF series and Olympus models

16mp sensor

GX1 CONS:

Engraved metal keypad buttons have almost INVISIBLE legends

Compared with Olympus m4/3 models – no in-camera stabilisation

Presently no external stereo audio input for video (might evolve as clip-on accessory)

For a little micro-four-thirds ‘system’ camera, with many different lenses to choose from, the GX1 is the absolute best value available today (though things change month by month, of course) unless you’re likely to need the in-camera stabilisation of Olympus models for shooting in very low light, say at wedding parties. But for those, you should be using a camera with a bigger and more sensitive sensor anyway!

So, there you go, the best value available and that was new when they cost about £500, this will set you back a mere bagatelle at £180 including postage

Here are some (fairly rubbish iPhone pics) :-

Someones been on the happy juice, haven't they ? £1000 for this ??? Crazy !

Sold

210 visits no posts. That suggests its a little pricey ! Say £60 posted ? Make me an offer if you don't think thats reasonable. It is a stunning thing !

I am not going to be buying another Colnago nor a big enough frame that I'll need to use this beautiful seat post that I have owned for over 10 years, it is properly lovely !

Anyway, its 27.2mm diameter and is 190mm long (thats the actual titanium length of "pole" and theres probably 5cm extra in the head part)

Its not mint, but its titanium so they do mark, but it never changes the basic fundamentals of the post, its in really great condition and is easy to set up.

I have no idea what its worth, I've seen them fetch in excess of £100 on ebay, seems pretty extreme, but it is a lovely thing and very rare, so shall we start at say £80 posted ? I am prepared to take a serious offer though.

YGPM, also, is it for external wiring ?

......size might help !

Dibs, please. If the maps are the European maps on SD card. PM on way.

Bezzin, you should absolutely be riding a 56, I am also 6' tall, I used to ride a 58 CAAD7 and ended up with all sorts of problems, had a 56 SystemSix, fitted like a glove, now as with Jambon have a 56 SuperSix (and a 56 CAAD7) and they are perfect fit. Absolutely awesome race bike, don't buy it if you want extreme comfort, do buy it want to go as fast as Fcuk !!! One of the best crit bikes ever built !!! GLWS Jambon

Nope, like I say I bought it off ebay. I paid £120, but as I'd dropped the price earlier on bikeradar, thought it only fair to advertise it at the lower price. Has anyone ever managed to buy anything XL at a sample sale ?? ;-)

Hi all

I have for sale a brand new (never worn) but without tags Rapha Classic Wind Jacket in an XL size in Pink. They only did this colour for a year and I was thrilled when I found it on ebay, only problem is that I have quite short arms and its a bit long and flappy on my stumpy little kangaroo arms !

It is super cool, folds up into nothing, comfortably smaller than their rain jacket (which does the same job really, not exactly waterproof) and about as small as a gilet. Its got plenty of reflective tape and the words rapha also reflect on the back, its great for those early Spring morning Dawn Patrols ! Apparently it is very good at keeping you warm and will resist light showers, all the time looking as cool as !

Get this, be instantly hipster (yeah, I know, I'm too old to be hipster) and stay warm and (relatively) dry. If you are long of limb and not too chunky this will fit perfectly, its more race cut than anything, but that keeps the flapping down to a minimum, it has a well cut, high(ish) neck to keep chills out and that nice side zipper (whatever the hell thats for)

Anyway, thats it, stay warm, look cool, stay safe in style ! £180 new from Rapha, I have a pucka Rapha bag which I shall gently slip it into and I'm after £100, I am in and out of London a lot, so can happily bring and exchange for £ notes !

Cheapest way of being in with the in crowd I know of ! But then I am an old fart, so what do I know ! All that and its a safety product, that'll make it easier to sell to the missus !

Oh if only there were a large. You shouldn't give up on them. They are amazing I have white ones and they are like a Brooks saddle it's all about wearing them in. A year later they are incredible.

To this day the best handling bike I've ever had was my Dekerf SS. Been kicking myself ever since I sold it. Still it went on to place 3rd at the worlds under its new owner so not too bad. These are amazing and if I would ever ride it is have it.

I'll have this. Pm gone to you.

Is it just me, or is this the most confusing advert ever ??

What the hell are you actually selling ? Is it a red and silver Arione for £30 ?

I have these wheels but with Open Pro CD rims, they are amazing wheels, great hubs and the open pro rims are the business. First pair of wheels I've ever had where you can actually feel the difference, incredibly smooth and comfy wheel set. Don't worry about the weight, they are light enough and will make every ride a treat. And when the rims wear out you can replace them, unlike factory built wheels !!!
