A couple of Unworn Jackets (with tags still attached)
A pair of jeans & linen trousers (each worn 2/3 times)
The jackets are both a water resistant waxed cotton... unlined inside... From the AW12 'mainline' catwalk collection.. One is a trench.. both Small.
£50 for the short jacket. £80 for the trench (Both a slightly purpley brown - if that makes sense)
£30 posted for the jeans
£20 posted for the linen trousers (£140 new!)
Linen Trousers (30 short - [30 leg]) - Kind of a light purple / grey colour
Jeans - Taper Fit - 30 short
Both the jeans and linen trousers are a 30 but sit very low on the hips (why is why I never wore them) - I'd say they are closer to a 31/32 in a standard fit
-
Velocity a23s ? Available in 24/28h and 23mm wide a la C2s
-
Yes please!
Can collect (am in Anerley)

I need a steel fork - ahead - 1"
Something like the colnago precisa.

WHY?
cheers

Weight is circa 440g

Most shimano road pedals or any speedplay pedals still permit the use of a wrench.
But something to be aware of !

What he said ^
-
Contentious title perhaps but check these puppies out !
NOS Speedtec / topline ROAD cranks - 130bcd / 170mm arms
(Made by speedtec in germany - almost a carbon-copy of the toplines)
Totally unused. Breath taking-ly light
100 quid. Seen another pair? Didn't think so.
-
TJ designs also do fillet brazed stems - but OP is after tig'ed
-
Looks like a cannondale, kinda.
-
Kelly stem? Interested in the 100mm
-
I went a bit bonkers at a Paul Smith shop.
I bought this (and a few other things due to be listed...) but it's a little big on me (at 5'7")
It's a new blazer from 2012 collectrion - stylist lapels and taped seams - v.nice as all PS stuff is.
Anyone who's a PS fan knows his blazers cost about 250-350. At the very end of Jan you can pick the odd bargain up for circa £130 if you are lucky.
I'm asking £60

^ Nice robust light if you have the coin

Thanks again for the feedback guys. I'm looking forward to working with the cycling fraternity to make this venture a worthwhile one - It can't be all things to all people, but I'm hoping to shape it around people's needs/ wants/ expectations.
Lezyne do a nice nice light that I'm currently using .. £12.99 and pot-hole-shock-proof as yet

RE: BLB ... I mean the 'retro charm' of the old skool components .. I know some people find the staff a bit frosty
-
Scottmac; some good points - most of which I agree with.
I spend a lot of money and time building my own bikes - and having seen the haphazard ways many shops hang/pile/lock bikes together - I wouldn't want to find a scratch along the toptube of my colnago inflicted by a wayward brake lever. Not that I own a colnago.
In terms of teaching people to mechanic bikes.. It's a nice idea but plenty of places offer it already/ it isn't really a revenue generator/ many bike jobs require expensive tools which is why shops exist. I can show someone how to adjust their threaded headset - but would they want to spend 60 quid on headset spanners and crown race pullers?
-
I'll have a look at that too.
I have often thought more attention should be paid to cyclist psychology when designing road junctions - why and when is RLJ'ing considered 'OK' etc.
-
That could be implemented ... For small items etc. Would increase footfall I guess.. But yes, some legal challenges there.
-
Thanks for the continued suggestions!
The 'staff' will initially be just 2 (+1 Part timer) of us ... This is going to be a cosy start-up for now. No bored shop-staff.
We know our onions, we already have our maillard freewheel remover! ;) We are super friendly (I hate uptight bike shops).. I've worked in high-end shops across the country - My partner in crime is a expert wheel builder (Currently employed at another top London bike shop) who personally does about 30 wheel builds a week.
Coffee will be freely distributed - but from an 'ikkle machine, when we have a mo' - We ain't starbucks so it's likely 'standing room only'
