Top tube length is more important, as you can compensate seat tube length by using a longer or shorter seatpost. Compact sloping frames usually require you to have more seatpost showing as the seat tubes are made smaller, so its not unusual to ride with more seatpost showing.

Heres my code I'm not going to use, so anyone welcome to it: £10 off £100 order at Rapha,

Please PM me if you dibs.

Pick up East near London Fields, but can also do central and west depending on days.

Cheers.

Edit: 1 sold, 1 remaining.

I think I'm going to get a nice long sleeve from them, quality looks superb for the price.

I think the prices are more than fair, especially as you should always sell at a minimum of covering your costs.

The only problem is that you are selling them on a bicycle forum, where the value is reduced by the generally cheap prices of things advertised in the classifieds. People are used to getting a bargain on here, so that's why they feel overpriced.

Put them in a gallery or art context and the value goes up.

Well it's acceptable in those circumstances, but not on a side street off Picadilly.

I had the same problem back when I lived in a student house. It was mainly to do with damaging walls or carpet. Get a long piece of cardboard for the floor so your wheels dont drip everywhere, and then a piece of cloth over the handlebar ends when you lean it up.

Eurosport still seems to be showing Rally racing... waiting hopefully for some cycling to start still.

Edit: No worries, starting now 9pm on Eurosport 1.** Night-time** team time trial!

The Vuelta starts on the 28th August, and although it never gets the same attention as the Giro or Tour de France, I thought it deserved a thread.

Tips to win?

Schlecks are in it together, also Sastre and Menchov. Some big name are out, including last years winner Valverde who is serving a ban.

The road.cc virtual tour was fun last time with the LFGSS league, and I probably got more involved in the Tour de France because of it. The Vuelta league Id is: **16351 **if you want to join.

Post #11 in there probably NSFW, no warning.

Looking for a 650c rear wheel, with 130mm OLN hub. Preferably black rim.

Either geared or singlespeed / flip-flop hub for girlfriend's bike.

Cheers.

Lots of stolen wheels now turning up at the entrance to London Fields near Broadway market, might be worth a look on the weekend.

Anyone want to trade for an FSA SLK Carbon seatpost? 2009 model I think. 20mm setback and 350mm length. 27.2mm.

No scratches, and has been installed with carbon grease, which holds the post firm without needing as much tension around the seatclamp.

Only used on a few rides.

Looking for something with no setback, e.g. Thomson elite inline, or other fairly nice post.

Saddle not included...

The shortest shimano UN54 bottom bracket is 107 mm, so that would bring the chainline down to 45mm if you were running the chainring on the inside.

3mm isn't too bad.

Tight and loose spots on the chain are more likely due to the chainring not being entirely circular. This is normal for most chainrings, but you can make it less noticable by centering the chainring on the cranks through small adjustments.

See here: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/fixed.html and look at the part on chain tension.
