@Dicko - I'm about Tuesday evening, drop me a PM if that's still good for you and we can arrange collection

Bump,price drop

Cheers guys, this time it's some senn cx300's that have given up on me, already replaced under warranty once, so reluctant to reward them with more business again.

Shures do look sturdy, but perhaps might isolate a little too well, may pick these up, but perhaps not for riding. Think I'll give these soundmagic fellas a go, jack looks sturdy enough. That sugru tip looks exactly what I'm after too!

Did check that, but seemed more headphone specific? Feel free to merge...

Getting tired of going through earphones so frequently, so wasteful when the fault is always a loose connection at the stereo jack. Have looked at youtube tutorials about fixing these, but doubt I can make it sturdy enough.

Anyway, can any of you guys recommend a set of earphones that can actually last a while, specifically with a sturdy jack connection?

Bump, Pair of 25c Marathon Plus down to £25.

Am waiting on Genesis to get back to me regarding the steel used in the stays, frame builder I approached to split the frame wanted to know the diameter and grade of steel.

Seems unlikely the frame is entirely 853.

Am also a little concerned that splitting a seat stay combined with a loaded rear rack would perhaps put a lot of stress on the split, not sure if the split becomes a weak point in the frame, or if it's nothing to worry about.

Quite a spot to use for a photoshoot

Am also looking at picking up some similar smart/ tailored shorts to psee. One that the arse won't blow out on. Swrve seem worth a try.

I see london stockists on their site, was wondering if anyone had an idea of which one has the most extensive collection?

Mainly to try stuff on for sizing..

Have a couple of pairs of tyres going:

A pair of 700 x 25c Marathon Plus. Only used for a few weeks, so in very good condition & with the durablity of these tyres, lot of life left.
£30 -> £25 -> £20 SOLD

A pair of brand new Kenda Kwest 700 x 28c tyres, taken from an off the peg bike, so never ridden
£10 -> £5 SOLD

Collection from Clapton, E5

Bump, drop to £15.

Cheers allensea, that fits the bill exactly - but you're right, not the best looking. Had my head turned by this 853 Genesis now!

Lovely Gaz, is there a project thread for that build? Be interested to see the drivetrain components

One of these surplus to requirements

Very nice design, better looking than the average monitor. No dead pixels, comes with hdmi and power cables.

Collection from Clapton, E5

£20 -> £15 SOLD

Aha yes TM : http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bikes/frames/adventure/day-one-853

Well not belt drive, but everything else, 853 Reynolds too, and ticks all the boxes, def a contender!

Looks like modifying to belt drive is the way then. Any alternatives that spring to mind other than Pompetamine, Roadrat, Genesis.

Let me know, cheers!

haha, that model with the orange rims was fugly... having looked again - new models don't look too bad:

I can see rack/mudguard mount, the only thing i'd need to check is whether the rear dropout is wide enough for alfine. Also looks like discs could be out of the question

Cheers, dammit - having a peruse of : http://www.carbondrivesystems.com/bikes seems that's the best source for recent belt drive compatible frames.

On the frame-builder front, pal Donny recently put a beauty together: http://www.donhoubicycles.com/davids-super-commuter/

I guess I'm trying to find that balance there always is with a daily use bike. A nice bike to ride, but one I'd still lock up in the rain and not be petrified about.

Slowly formulating plans for a bit of a low maintenance, nippy commuter. Keen to try belt drive, ideally with a hub gear, most likely Alfine 8. Possibly disc brakes, (unsure about this).

Looking for frame suggestions

I understand the retrofit option, but first call would be seeing if there was a suitable belt-drive compatible frame. Had a good google, but most results seem to be posts from a few years back.

• The BMC AC01 is close to what i'm trying to achieve, but is a bit flashy. Ideally I'm after more classic geometry - and the ability to mount full mudguards and a rear rack (the BMC fails at this).

• The Pompetamine ticks most of the boxes, but isn't belt-drive compatible - and i'd be happy to spend a bit more than £130 on a frame.

• The Roadrat is a similar option.

Any advice or suggestions appreciated. Shall update this thread with progress as it comes.

Got a pair of these, they hold up really well. A plus plus

This is still going, PM'd marxist_vulcan last week as he had next dibs but haven't heard back so it's back on the market. Welcome to view, I'm in Clapton - am in this evening.

This is just what happens to bikes you ride and lockup around London, especially one's as distinctive as a Mash. It doesn't sound like a safety problem. Why flog it and be down a wad to just buy another one that could well meet the same fate. It rides fine.

Embrace the slow demise to hack/beater.

Perfect to take to buffets I imagine.

Gotta be something in there, it's bottomless!

Have a big-ass cardboard bike box going in Clapton, E5. Just took delivery today, box in strong condition, with internal cardboard wheel chocks.

Gonna be sticking it out with the recycling otherwise, but know these boxes come in handy with flights etc., so anyone welcome to it - PM me and I can give you address.

Always nice digging up a 5 year old post.....

Previous link has expired would you believe it. After any decent bicycle vector assets, specifically a cog and/or chainring.

Any help appreciated!

It is yes, but sorry would much prefer a collection from London.
