Sorry, had an offer by pm so now sold. I'll let you know if anything changes.

£375 posted (UK)

Must have been fun to try and stop!

Ha ha, repped.

Dolan Pre Cursa 54cm. Selling as complete bike, not looking to split.

Built this up for a bit of fun but it's not getting used. As space and money are tight, it's time to move it on.

Hardly been ridden since it was built, so in realy good condition. Couple of marks on the stem and a small tear in the saddle, pedals and straps show marks from use but everything else was either bought new or powder coated so it all looks nice. Stickers can all be removed easily and don't ide anything. I'll be happy to remove before collection if required.

Looking for £400. Collection is from Portsmouth though.

I had the 26" one, tough as nail and will last you a lots longer than you think.

Would bloody hope so, I've just seen how much they weigh!!! Now torn between these and Archytypes. Not really going to be that hard on them (for a commuter, not touring) but I hate worn looking braking surfaces!!! Aaargh!

Cheers for the info though guys! Also does anyone know if they're welded or pinned and what they're actually made of? Or just where I can get this info.

Rigida Grizzly CSS:

I have a feeling there used to be a Mavic one, but I doubt you'll find them and I can't imagine they'll be any better than the Rigiga.

Cheers. These could work. The CSS coating sounds good. My only worry is the quality of the rim its self. They're only £18 without the coating and £70 with!!!

Looks like retroshift

Don't know if this is the best place to ask but have Mavic ever made a ceramic touring rim, or anyone else for that matter?

Is it worth getting some carbon kenesis forks for my day one disc to save half a kilo weight?

Felt the weight saving was worth it on my Pompetamine. Finish on mine was piss poor though. Lacquer had been put straight on a gloss finish so flaked of pretty easily. Currently in the process of sanding them back for a respray.

I don't know what's so difficult to grasp? I phoned Condor a while back as they were out of stock. They said they were getting more in but they would be a new different shape lever. Just asked when they were purchased to try and determine if this was the case or not? Am I missing something?

Ah, fair play. When did you get em?

If you know something I don't about the Condor levers, please feel free to enlighten me . My comment above was just based on a telephone conversation I had with them a while ago.

As for the Origin 8 levers they are definitely the RL340s

I mentioned them being the mk2 as they have a different shaped lever blade to the originals, which had the same lever blade as the R200s

This post makes me feel like I need to get a life.

Condor and Retroshift (CX0) sell them as their own now.

Last time I spoke to Condor, they'd changed their levers to the Tektro RL340s but hadn't updated the image on their website.

Googling 'Tektro R200' here brought me these Origin8 Pro-Force Aero levers.
P'raps worth looking to see if there are any existing UK stockists, or if somebody like SJS can get them in.

From the lever blades, these look like the mk2 RL340s too.

Pretty sure Cane Creek are the only people still using the old shape. Oh and Retroshift but I can't seem to find them in the UK.

I'll probably just keep an eye out for another pair of R200s on ebay, which is where I got my last pair.

Cheers though.

Thought that might be the case, Randos are 570-590g each anyway so 410 doesn't seem that bad! Gravel King looks interesting but can't see anywhere they're available at the moment... will keep in mind for the future though

Pasela folding are much lighter. I've got a pair for sale but 28c so a bit skinny for you I guess? Got em from the states for a good price including shipping. Search Pasela ProTex on ebay.

Dolan Pre Cursa. Open Pros on custom sealed hubs, Panaracer Paselas, Velosolo bolt on cog, Shimano square taper chainset, MKS GR9s.

Will have nicer shape bars, track grips, Ballistic CNC black stem instead of Azonic and Selle Italia XO saddle.

I find it really annoying that Tektro no longer make the R200 so if you want a nice flat transition between your lever and bar, you have to shell out for the stupidly overpriced SCR-5s.

Johnny Fixed. Their Dolan Pre Cursa build is worth £700!!!! Possibly the next Foffa? :)

It's got a 73deg headtube! That is slack as fuck.

Same as my Pre Cursa. Not really that slack.

build is shitty but I dont mind the frame

Edit: adidas bike

Yeah, I know what you're saying but for an otp, I don't think it's that bad.

It's just a Mash isn't it. Or a photoshop mockup of a Mash...

Adidas getting involved. Are fixies cool again?

Bombtrack. To be fair they're pretty good. From the same people as We The People BMX. Complete bike is about the same price as a MASH frameset and the qulity is actually really good.

Is it just me, or is that Adidas abortion slacker than a Dosnoventa?

Think the geo is okay

I know it's an otp collaboration and probably most people are gonna hate on it but I think this is actually pretty rad.

I've not actually used GP4seasons before but I can say these grip really well in the wet. Had them fitted to several bikes in the past. Significantly better than Gators imo and better than the Vittoria Randonneur Hypers I've got fitted at the moment.

I'll also chuck in a pair of tubes.

That is the cheaper non folding/wire bead version. I'm selling the folding/Kevlar bead version.

As far as I know, SJS are the only place that sell them in the UK. They are £35 each + postage and they do not stock them in 28c.

2 x Panaracer Pasela folding tyres 700 x 28c Brand new with original packaging.

Really nice tyres. Folding version with kevlar bead. 277g each. Good puncture protection.

£55 for the pair, posted.

Bought on ebay but as I'm going to have a child seat on the back soon, I decided to go for 32c instead so surplus to requirement.
