Looks great! What handlebar tape did you end up using...? I'm in the market for some exactly like this but every brand seems obsessed with peppering their logos all over the tape!

Posted this in the lightweight tent thread

I've just upgraded my tent to an MSR (helped by some dutch courage last night...) and so it's time to part with my Vango Banshee 200. Here it is in action:

It's a great tent, lightweight (~2.1kg) and compact for the money. It got me hooked on cycle touring but I fancied something a little higher tech and more spacious in shape now. It's been well looked after - no rips, tears etc. and always dried out after use. Thinking back, it's actually had very limited use too, probably only 2 weeks in total! (seems a bit mental to have spent all that on an MSR now!)

SOLD

Morning folks. Thought it worth putting this up on here first - I've just upgraded my tent to an MSR (helped by some dutch courage last night...) and so it's time to part with my Vango Banshee 200. Here it is in action:

It's a great tent, lightweight (~2.1kg) and compact for the money. It got me hooked on cycle touring but I fancied something a little higher tech and more spacious in shape now. It's been well looked after - no rips, tears etc. and always dried out after use. Thinking back, it's actually had very limited use too, probably only 2 weeks in total! (seems a bit mental to have spent all that on an MSR now!)

Looking for £55 (to someone on here) and I'm around Brixton/Clapham North if anyone wants to have a look/more details

...also optimistically dibs for mechs...

Cheers. It kind of acts as a mudguard, but also as a deterrent for having a rear chainset (nowhere to clamp derailleur) hence the epic chain! Other than the weight (which with a tandem is rarely light anyway) it's always run great and allows me to run a double crankset thou. Apparently it's good for bottom bracket stresses as well...

Just to master the Brie transportation and it'll have everything I need

Always wondered where to post this! Thanks @hanrob_ for getting this thread in todays posts!

So I recovered this a couple of years back and rebuilt it - Higgins Ultralite (Short Wheelbase). It's old (early 60's or before as Higgins went out of business after that). Apparently there's only ~10 of them ever made...I've ridden it more cautiously since finding that out...

London - Paris on it was a highlight as was this foray in Boulogne for a vintage bicycle rally. Have annoyingly bent the rear chainring recently (which is surprising because it's Chater Lea so a solid piece of steel!) but will have it up and running again for when there's more sun

@pharaohnuff

It's available. PM me

PM's replied to

Send me a PM @Mancini and we can discuss wheels...

rack sold and some price drops

I forget why I didn't buy this one when I last looked but alas it's gone now

Does anyone else have one for sale? Preferably yellow decals a la:

but beggars can't be choosers...

Thread updated with some new items (H Plus son wheelset, Nitto cockpit etc.)

and @TTTulio - yup! Sorry for not replying sooner...

Thanks Si. I was hoping they'd be LA84's...saying that, I was already watching your bars on eBay! I'll send you a PM

First world problems eh! Looking forward to seeing the shrub built up

Out of interest, what were the bars on the rauler and what did you do with them?

is there a braking surface on the 650c...?

frame sold. thanks for all the interest folks.

Some other things sold too so thread updated. No-one want the rackless panniers? I'm surprised as they're bloody useful. Here's them in action on a tour through Spain.

@Congo Seeing as it took me so long to figure it out myself, I'm happy to help: 108mm ISO Phil Wood BB worked for me (42mm chainline)

fill your boots mate. my other concorde (same dropouts braze ons etc.) gave me endless enjoyment over the last couple of years riding it fixed. It's not as though you stop it being able to be a tt machine later on

yup - the pink/purple concorde ones...

That first number is the bike register phone number! I had it tagged a while back (might still be on there so if it is and you need to transfer it into your name let me know) - probably worth deleting those digits from here and keeping note of them yourself in the meantime...

subscribed! good luck with the build...

I should have shown you my h plus son 650/700 wheel set whilst you were here as am thinking of selling them too...

still pondering the split of the other concorde...for sale stuff on OP so keep your eyes on that for details

Back from holidays - PM's replied to and can arrange pickups this week/end

Wii and Bass sold. Concorde being picked up week Sunday (so no more questions about it for now please!)...

Sold. now how to close a thread on this new forum...?
