Just wait 'til muji make a cardboard "DIY" fixed gear bike. Thats going to be RAD

this is a steal if its in good nick

Lol'd at the title.. apparently the age gap thing is worked out as follows.

You take your fork age and halve it - then add seven years.. that is the youngest "headset" your "fork" can be compatible with

:)

you can treat the rust and then get argos or someone like that to give it a clear coating so that the original paintwork is still visible but sealed off from rusting any further.

Strange. I've never heard of that happening before. Did you try different pads etc?

It's all about the biggest rotors you can get! 180 is a proper size.. I've got little guys on my dj bike (in fact I've only just put my front brake back on- was riding it like a bmx for ages!) , but on anything bigger I'd definitely go in that direction.

arg!
60's holdsworth + braze on removal + ARMORTEX = bike death.

Don't do it mate. Clear coat ftw

thought i might post a pic of my finished rack. I dont think this one will last long, im gonna make a second version with a slightly different design that will use thicker aluminium. Hopefully will still be light. (I know loading up a spinergy isnt a good idea, im building some drumbrake wheels for this bike)

Mate do you work at the BBC or something on Great portland St?
I keep seeing your bike locked to the railings outside my office.
Nice rack by the way :)

really? I've just changed up to the deore's on my dj bike from the bb7 and the difference is unbelievable. The avids were really jerky and meant that I almost killed myself a couple of times because I had no confidence breaking on off camber corners etc.

the deore's are way better than the hope's I used to have too, and better than some of the avid juicy's – I really can't say enough good things about them. Cheap too.

I'm surprised the xt was a let down - shimano normally make really good disc brakes.. it's all about xtr ftw though! I'd take xtr over pretty much any other brake - even all the high end Avids and Hope's.

I would recommend you get some of the shimano deore disc breaks instead of the avid bb breaks.

The avids have ZERO modulation — they only really do "on" or "off", which is no good in the wet as your wheels will just lock up. The shimano's are super powerful (for a budget brake) and they have tons of modulation so you can brake properly.

"Body Geometry gel pad reduces hand numbness by relieving pressure on sensitive ulnar nerves."

these guys are great- got the full finger version and they make a massive difference. I kept pinching the nerve in my palm and getting the same sensation and they sorted it right out.
I've never been a fan of gel gloves as I don't like anything between me and the bike (comes from riding dirt jump bikes and downhill), but I have to admit I won't go back to unpadded gloves for road cycling now.

would you be interested in a split? I just want Matthew to process my tax returns.

this thread is overpriced. Have a look at Thread2Sell.com - it should give you an idea of what it worth.

is the freeview box still available?

are they straight or raked? Hard to see from the photos.
cheers

the more you say that, the more of a prick you look.

Hope you manage to sell your junk. Much love.x

There's only one person throwing their weight around here Mr "haven't you seen my massive Stats".

Just offering an opinion, which happened to be that you were over charging. I'm not a bell end for disagreeing with you. Do one.

Then why did you feel the need to post? Elementary school pile-on mentality.*

*I note the irony of the now, reverse pile-on which I have just joined.

I had a mini thread reading fail and missed a couple of peoples more negative posts.. I still think what I had to say was of value though. Pretty much the only mistake I made was to say "not to shit on this thread.. etc" - was just setting myself up for forum handbags.

I dunno man, either do some research first and find out the worth of what your selling or people are bound to say what I (and many others) have.

I can see what you're saying, but the "g5 gang" above just reduced it to name-calling. I was initially just saying that he should re-consider his prices and give details of the monitors.

If you do no research and don't give proper details/spec/images then how can you complain?

Jesus christ

why single out me? I'm not the only person on this thread to question the value of them?

^ Bellendery confirmed...

the fucks the matter with you? Someone piss in your coffee this morning?

Stop holding your mates hand - you can give him a congratulatory reach-around later when he's flogged this lot to some unsuspecting kid

i clearly stated that if interested you should pm me, so mr/ not want to shit on anyones post, why don't you just not post. If i look at something in the classifieds and i think its too much / out of my price range i don't buy it, i don't add flame to an already balanced set of numbers. Bell end

Yeah nice one. Who's the bell end — the guy selling equipment that was discontinued 3 years ago for nearly new prices or the person pointing it out?

I wasn't "flaming" or "shitting" or whatever, just adding to the consensus that you over cooked your prices. It's part of my job to know this stuff, so it's just a professional opinion. I don't think my post was unreasonable.

I won't call you a name, but if you want to rip people off then just do it on gumtree or stick them on ebay and you'll find out what they're worth. Do one.

not meaning to shit on this thread anymore - but you are asking way too much. Mac2sell is pretty much the industry standard for working out how much 2nd hand mac's are worth so I would just price them accordingly.

Of course, if you are including monitors then you should show photo's and spec (and be honest about dead pixels/marks etc).

6months ago I was offered an almost new quad intel mac pro for about 1600

*I've got one of these : *http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=30435
really comfortable, light and SUPER well ventilated.

if its a bit too pricey - go for the monza. But try em on - I just rocked straight into Rathbone Place Evans, put a whole bunch on my head and went home to order mine (something I felt no guilt about as I was COMPLETELY ignored by all the staff)
