I'd rather sell as is but if it doesn't go in a few days I'll let you know.

Thanks for the interest.

I tried to part with this a few months ago after stripping off my nicer parts but my heart wasn't in selling it so I put it back to how it was previously with the hope of giving it some use but I've have only ridden it once so it's up for sale again

It's the perfect bike to lock up around Londons famous London and not worry to much about. The parts aren't too flashy plus the added benefit of the Atomic 22 bolts is that you can usually get away with just locking the back wheel if it's being left for short periods.

Security - Atomic22 bolts in stem, seatpost clamp, saddle clamp, front wheel and I have the bolt for the top cap although this is not fitted at the moment. Also comes with the appropriate security keys as well as the original bolts

Bad points -
The frame has a couple of paint chips around rear stay on the drive side and a slight rub mark near the chainring
The crank arms have heel rub
Both wheels have obviously been used with brakes so have wear - the front is worse than the rear but still has life in it.
The rear wheel is slightly out of true but not really noticeable when riding
The bar tape has been reused so many times it could really do with being replaced.

This bike has been used rain or shine so do not expect it to be mint condition. With that said the bike has been well cared for and has some nice components all the Atomic 22 bolts cost me around £200.

Excuse the poor photos, i borrowed a friends posh camera and have no idea how to use it.

Price £400
Collection from either near Hendon Central or Clerkenwell near the Three Kings Pub (The bike currently in Hendon so will have to ride it up if you want to collect from there.)

That's really neat - Any more pictures of how the bikes are held?

I had this with my Dolan maybe try a crank with 130bcd rings like a Sugino rd2 or messenger. Not exactly bling but it should solve your problem by moving that crank bolt in to clear the stays.

Edit. Also - I might have a crappy driveside crank arm with a 130bcd ring on it if you wanted to try it up against the frame. I'll check tomorrow and let you know.

Ti Arione has been collected - Thanks @ChasnotRobert any problems let me know.

3) Pave CX saddle, 2009model great condition, no rips or tears or sign of wear 307g

This is gone awaiting collection. If anything changes i'll update the thread

Sorry based in Clerkenwell, London near the three kings pub

Also will need to be collected during working hours 9-5 preferably before the end of the week

Oh and 85% of the brakeset has been found so will obviously be included if you want them

This was going to be thrown out with the bins tonight and was offered to me but I don't need it so if anyone on here would like it please come and take it away.

Had a quick look at it and it has two flat tyres, no pedals and weighs a ton. Obviously can't ride it due to lack of pedals but the frame/fork itself seems sound enough, seatpost isn't stuck and the wheels appear serviceable

It's setup as fixed gear at the moment but has a freewheel on the other side ready go to.

This bike has served me well for about 3 years constant commuting but I picked up my new (to me) CAAD10 it's one in one out so this has to go!

Bad points -

Both wheels have been used with brakes so have wear - the front is much worse than the rear but still has life in it.
The rear wheel is slightly out of true but not really noticeable when riding
Tyres aren't amazing and are fairly worn but again are still fine to use
The bottle bosses on the down tube seem to rattle a bit when a bottle cage is attached there so I've been using the bosses on the seat tube instead
The bars have no plugs in the end but have been taped over

This bike has been used rain or shine so do not expect a mint condition bike

Price £220
Collection from either near Hendon Central or Clerkenwell near the Three Kings Pub (The bike currently in Hendon so will have to ride it up if you want to collect from there.)

Paint chips

Front wheel

Front wheel and Tektro caliper gone.
Panniers and rack should be collected on Monday
Price drops on other items.

Little bit of a clear out.

Hope head doctor expander bung - the internal diameter of my carbon forks was two small to accommodate this lovely bit of kit and usual hope quality but be aware if your internal diameter of your steerer is a bit on the tight side. £5 Provisionally gone

Alpina 27.2 seatpost - never used came included with a dolan frame I got £6

Collection from Clerkenwell near the three kings pub. I can probably post some of the bits at cost so let me know.

Cheers

Got DAS'd by some people doing Regents laps as I was going home near Hanover Gate -
< Excuse> Sorry for the feeble skid, I was just setting off from the lights and turning left < /Excuse>
Hi!

Friendliest forum on the internet™

Dibs Arione - PM incoming

Wow, spec sounds awesome.

For the price of the red group a bit of a yellowy green can't be the end of the world, it'll probably wear off the cranks if you're doing 300+ miles a week in all weathers.

These are lovely frames and super light. I had one myself for a while before admitting it was a too small. Only thing was that I was never really sold on the seat post clamp oh and if i remember correctly it takes a odd size headset?

What group you going for? 105 5800 would be a good compromise of performance/price.

Has the merlini gone? If not, is it definitely a 54 or bigger?

Even the person in their logo has a bag on his head.

Thanks - I've dropped them a message, the reviews look good too.

Has anyone had any experience with lightweight full carbon forks from aliexpress or similar?

I'm hunting around for something 43 rake, non tapered, will take 28mm tyres and sub 400g that will keep my teeth intact.

Based on that specification should I just paid the price for 3t's or simular?

Dolan Pre Cursa or FXE?

The FXE has cable routing for a rear brake as well as mudguard eyes and rack mounts. I use one to commute on daily and it's a light(ish), cheap reliable frame. I've built mine up with totally different kit but the standard stuff is absolutely fine.

As mentioned above I will give it a clean before it leaves my ownership.

Thanks for your input though.
