I have a similar request, if anyone has any old spd shoes size 11 Let me know because i want t do the same thing.

I hope one of you can help me, basically i want some old spd cycling shoes so i can use the innersole to make some "Casual cycling shoes".

If you have some knackerd old mountain bike shoes i would be willing to buy them off of you although only for a tenner or so. or i could give a forum donation.

Size 11 preferably, but i guess i could work with anything between 10-12.

Hope someone can help.

Olympus and the Fisheye sold to the very nice chap; DoYouBlaze?.

The Horizon is till available, now for £240.

The seal has become slightly degraded but i havn't been able to detect any leeks from it.
The ding has been there since i bought the camera, it seems that the camera might of been dropped and landed on its hot shoe which would have taken most of the impact but has compressed the part the it screws into slightly.
Basically the threaded part where the hot-shoe is mounted has been pushed in on one side by 1-2mm.
Having another look the rewind crank also appears to have been impacted slightly but it still turns freely.

Basically the camera is not tip top condition, but it still looks good, functions well and takes great photographs. I think it would suit a budding art student or similiar who can give it some much needed love.

Also the Horizon is on hold for ExTra but ill update if whether they sell or not.
Ill be sad to see it go but it needs a good home and i need the money.

Sorry but doyoublaze has provisional dibs on the Fisheye and the Olympus but ill let you know.

I have a masterpiece of Russian engineering for sale the Horizon Perfekt. This panoramic camera works on a clockwork mechanism it lens sweeps 120° at varying speeds to capture awesome panoramic images (on 35mm film).

Basically it is a Russian made Zenit re-branded by Lomography. It is in great condition and is only three or four years old and has had maybe just ten films run through it.

It comes with a very nice leather case, three filters (UV, Neutral Density and Yellow Green), All documentation and original box from Russia plus the Lomography box (which is a little tatty).

The only downsides is it has been stored for a year and a half so smells faintly of a charity shop, there is a very small crack in the lid of the handle (which stores the spare filters) but it doesn't effect its function. And i cant find the book it came with but to be fair the book was rubbish anyway.

You can find more info here and specs: http://uk.shop.lomography.com/cameras/panoramic-cameras/horizon-perfekt But i have just noticed it doesn't even come with the leather case anymore.

£240

Next i have an Olympus OM-1 a classic and imo the best slr ever. It is the absolute perfect camera for learning on because it is purely manual and very easy to use. The OM-1 is very compact and very rugged.

It comes with a fixed 50mm Zuiko lens with a skylight filter fitted, i will also include a macro filter which give really cool narrow DOF images and a very tatty but still protective olympus fitted case.

The downside is that it seems to have had a knock and shows a dent where the hot-shoe adapter connects (I don't have a hot-shoe adapter so have not tested if one still fits) but i have tested the camera and it still functions well. There is a tiny bit of dust in the view finder (to be expected) and it will need a new battery.
Apart from the dent it is in good cosmetic and working condition.

Sold£40

Next is a Fisheye 2 made by Lomography, info can be found here:http://uk.shop.lomography.com/cameras/fisheye-cameras/fisheye-cameras/fisheye-no-2a It has a multiple exposure and bulb settings, it has a built in flash aswell as a hot-shoe. It is in great working condition, the only thing is it doesn't come with the viewfinder (which was ridiculously inaccurate and so unnecessary anyway) and also I've replaced the flimsy rubber lens cap with a proper clip on plastic one.

Sold£20

Collection from King Cross or I can deliver (by cycle) pretty much anywhere within reason. Or i can post for cost.
You could also present me with offers.

Just looking at the route, it looks like a really nice route meandering along the river. And also i havnt exsplored that far east yet. The ferry looks particualy cool, is it free?

Im excited about this ride, i only know a few people going and have not been on a big forum ride like this. looks like its going to be mahoosive and the weather doesnt look too shabby either. Ive taken the empty 9 spot, hope to see you guys on sunday.

That's probably because there is no (effective) means.

That makes it even more ridiculous. I count 20 spokes on those enve's how does that work with a 32/36h hub?
I'm still confused with how someone would build that bike thinking it was a good idea. but i guess that's why its in here.

Why the shifter? am i missing something? its confusing me.

If i was that Shamal i would feel embarrassed and ashamed to show my face in public.

i only hope someone can give it a deserving home.

Barcelona! Nice.

you need to give more info to know what we are dealing with, is the "1. Deep profile track rim on ultralightweight spok" front or rear? if its rear i'm very interested, what's the spacing and does it have a machined braking surface? if so will you accept $50 incl postage to Somalia?

Are you seriously considering sanding your spokes?

Sanding them is just gona make your spokes look like a mess. To get black spokes to look like silver ones a lot of polishing would be needed, i think it is a very stupid idea and would be nearly impossible to do.

Why not buy wheels with silver spokes or just stop giving a toss what colour spokes you have?

^^^^
I guess those stunt pegs are for giving your mate a backy,
Imagine what it will look like your doing if you stand on them though.

Im shore ive seen it here before.

Its interesting to see how different papers have approached the story. Some a little less sympathetic than others (unsurprisingly).
