I just found 5 in the back of my girlfriends cupboard so anyone else can dive in.....
Thanks for the response though.

Where abouts in the east are they and are they the proper solid storage boxes with lids?

Cheers

tried this guys and his condor potenza? http://www.lfgss.com/thread55830.html
Hes been trying to sell it for a few weeks so could be into offers....

I've got a brand new specialised crosstop OS you can have for a tenner but wouldnt be able to get it posted to you till the new year.....

im not sure if it still exists but i remember reading about a part of the forum called 'rides and races' or something like that which might be a good place to look. its probably full of people selling stuff though....

For an extra £30ish you could go down blb and get one brand new....

Away and buy that condor potenza that was around at the start of the week....

You being the main ingredient.

Ha ha. Guy shows up, tries to start argument and group abuse of the OP, fails then leaves. He's right, this place really is turning into cunt soup....

Buy that condor potenza frame that was floating around yesterday, muchbetterer.....

Not ideal for you but halfords have a third off cateyes at the moment which is pretty good....

I have a LH specialised crosstop. It is OS but you could try the old coke can or electrical tape shim....

Tenner posted as I am out of town at the moment

dirty harry looks to be sold. specialzed still going, could also be flipped and used RH.....

So i bought new bars and forgot my dirty harry would not fit OS bars so have been out and bought a pair of 31.8mm specialized crosstop levers. I have used the RH so the left one is going as is the old dirty harry. Both are black, Specialized is brand new and the Dirty Harry is used.

Looking for £10 each posted as i am leaving London tomorrow for the rest of the year unless you happen to be in the Herne Hill/Brixton area tonight.

Cheers

Just in case the wheel sale falls through I'll second dib them. In fact, same goes for the chainset.

Noted. Meeting folk tonight to deliver the wheels and cranks so i would consider them gone...

Stem is a 26.0 (booh, thats what comes of buying things in a hurry) so if anyone wants it they can have it for £15

Updates....wheels SOLD (pending meeting up tomorrow night), Rat racer has dibs on the chainset and i will update info on the stem for the dibbers on that one once i get home.

Why not tell us before the whisky? ;)

Heart rate was too high, needed to slow the adrenaline some what. I get Laphroaig off the NHS being an ex-pat Scot!

....so the frame, fork, cranks and the wheel are back! Only missing saddle, post, handlebars & stem which in the grand scheme of things is not to bad (or expensive) and am very happy.

Last Thursday a forumenger called Stu (didnt get your username so please tell me) rang to say that he had seen the bike outside the barbour shop on the corner of Atlantic Rd & Coldharbour lane that evening. So Friday was spent in the rain keeping an eye on the shop and also pounding the pavements around some of Brixtons finest shithole estates in search of it but too no avail.

Tonight though at 7.20 i was walking back from the tube and thought i would wander past.....and there it is sitting stripped of wheels and parts in the middle of the shop!!!! Resisting the urge to batter my way in and reclaim it i called the 5-0 and then spent an Hour (!) skulking around on a stake out in the hope that it wouldnt go anywhere else and asking passers by to casually walk past the shop and confirm it was still there. Eventually Brixtons finest do show up, go in, the guys come out and shout some shit at me so i go hide in the dogstar and about 10 minutes later after some extra officers show up out they come with the frame and wheels!

Seeing as the guy claimed someone had just dropped it off (?) and i had pictures of the bike from over the summer on my phone as well as an E-Mail from Zed saying i had bought it off of him in April they happily gave me it back!

Very Happy and relieved (especially as i had beeen looking at new frames all weekend but not actually buying one) and yeah just chuffed to bits.

So Cheers to the Forum especially this guy Stu and also Zed for the encouragment and also Jgarcia for giving me £20 off of the wheels i bought as my bike had been stolen and also all the other good words and advice. And those guys who take the stolen bike threads as an opportunity to have a go at people about locks, lives etc i genuinely hope it never happens to you!

A Happy ending to a shitty last 10 days!

Just getting the whisky in and i shall tell all......

UPDATE
The bike got spotted by a fellow forumenger this evening around 5 oclock outside the barbers on the corner of Atlantic Rd and Coldharbour Lane (beside the weatherman store). I shall ring the police and get them to check for CCTV etc but if the brixton massive could keep their eyes peeled for me.

Its good to know its still out there.....
