giz, any chance you can hang on till tuesday? I bought a similar set on ebay but it hasn't turned up yet and I've said to the guy if it's not here by then I'm sending them back... in which case I'd be interesting in having a chat with you about these.

dibs on bullhorns, pm sent

Lovely frame dude. Haven't got any current pics, but here's the slightly camp cousin of your frame that I'm currently building up...

uploaded new pics of shifters & bertin frames. prices reduced

Been talking to the seller and not entirely sure it's legit. They wanted me to send cash via special delivery and only then would they give me the details to give to the courier to pick it up. I offered to send the cash with the courier but apparently this isn't acceptable. Might be ok, particularly if you live local and can go in person. Just letting everyone know. I'm out anyway.

sorry spaghetti, the post said first pm gets it and mike posted first, if he doesn't take it I'll let you know

Thanks for the info - will take photos of the levers close up so people can see the condition and make offers accordingly - I'd say very good condition though.

This threads closed - added the remaining bits and some new stuff here:

Cheers

which shop in hoxton out of interest? do they have all the issues?

Unfortunately the meeting is a little too early for me as well, but I'd still like to help in any way I can. If you need more contact details PM me.

Already been looking at it mate! Will see what happens after I've spoken to HQ :)

It's a zipp 340 - not the end of the world if i have to ditch it, but it's served me well and would like to fix it if possible. I'll give HQ fibre a shout tomorrow and see what they say, thanks for the info.

no worries, suspected this was the case though I'd heard about carbon frame repairs so thought I'd check before chucking it.

thanks anyway

Anyone got any experience fixing carbon rims? The weave is a bit screwed on one of mine and was wondering if I can get it fixed somewhere or if it's just a case of dumping it and getting a new rim.

Any thoughts suggestions welcome, even if it's to tell me to dump it and move on...

Maybe it's just me, but I say let the guy sell his stuff in peace. If it doesn't sell, he'll bring the price down...

And I'm not sure the value of slightly iffy mono-forks these days but:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170380827015&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

fixied......

yeah, london fields/hackney. next time we should get a posse together... with pitchforks, it's not a posse without pitchforks...

which is a good thing...

However, for the risk of a massive mugging, take 6 hefty mates and for £400 that is BEAUTIFUL.

I live round there - if anyone wants some backup to go and have a look give me a shout and I'll happily come along

second dibs on saddle please

any preference on color?

pending date confirmation and me finishing my build, i'd be in

This is why I carry my abus chain lock over my shoulder rather than in my bag - anytime i see any dodgy looking kids loitering by the side of the road i calmly take it off my shoulder and let the weighty lock dangle from my hand as i cycle past. It's enough of a deterrent and does a fair bit of damage if you do ever have to use it on would-be theives

I like the idea of doing what we can but I'd suggest something more permanent like warnings about cycling next to hgv's on a stitch-on panel on our bags might have more impact given that the target demographic will spend time on the road alongside/behind us, and have time to see it
