I haven't tried this with bikes, but it's worked well with car bits, hence I'd advise caution but...
assuming it's a metal washer, I'd heat the whole caboodle up in the oven till it gets nice and toasty (10-15 minutes) then take it out and allow it to cool. the lower volume of the washer will allow it to cool (however contract minutely) faster than the rest of the crank, which should loosen it sufficiently to allow you to prise it out. it may take a couple of attempts, and no doubt some ridicule, but a sound theory in my opinion...

thoughts go out to the rider and those who know her.
hope she's ok

PM'd re: cranks

Not a bad looking bike - alloy/carbon though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220475719822&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1182

looks ok to me - you can make out the signature on the tt near the st, and it looks in the first image as though there might be the requisite P stamp in the top of the seat stays (you can always mail the seller to ask them to confirm this).
doesn't look like it's been particularly well looked after so i'd be worried about dents that haven't been mentioned (again, need to ask before you bid on these things) and I'm not sure how salvageable the mechanicals would be but it could be a nice frame to use as a basis for a project
-
aye, only 501, but for £11.50 it's a lovely frame
-
not sure if this has gone up already, but looks a bargain if you live in Manchester - 15mins left £5:
-
sell it?
-
don't think so - pm'd him a few weeks back about them and he never got back to me

LG Viewty (KU990), only used for about 3 months - got it on warranty after my other one got nicked, but was due for an upgrade in a few months so pretty much new. Boxed with instructions/charger/software/2 gig memory. £50 to anyone on here, or I'll put it on ebay at £70 bin.
-
i take it this means you don't want the one we've been pm'ing about, the one i was supposed to meet with you tomorrow to sell you, that i've just spent the last hour finding all the bits for, resetting and charging up for you?
nice man, cheers for letting me know...
-
doubt it'll go higher than 200 tbh - one common nuance of ebaying frame buying is that people don't generally like to see a built bike if all that's being sold is the frame. I may be wrong in this case but that seems to be the trend.
lovely frame though - nearly bought it myself but wasn't prepared to meet his valuation on ctc
-
Got an LG Viewty that has had very little use, but has been sat in a box for about 8 months now - got the charger and pretty sure everything else that came in the box too. a couple of light scratches but pretty excellent condition. check out specs here: http://www.lge.com/uk/mobile-phones/all-lg-phones/LG-camera-phones-KU990.jsp
pm with an offer if you're interested.

that was quick, 2nd dibs - pm me if it falls through

awesome, cheers

Having some trouble finding tubs that are available in both 650cc and 700cc that are suitable for road use. I know some Continentals are available in both sizes but can't find anywhere that has any in stock, and not convinced they're that great anyway.
Anyone got any suggestions or better yet, got any for sale?
-
noooooooooooooooooooo!!! it didn't go sky high!!!!! didn't even see it.....!
what a beautiful bike... just checking my pulse rate after convincing myself it would probably have been a bit small for me... absolutely gorgeous..
I'll let you come round and look at it some time if you like, but no touching obviously....
Was gutted when you posted it on here, thought it would hit £500+ for sure, but thankfully it seems everyone was at the pub last night...
-
hopefully going to collect a couple of 24" this weekend, both fronts, don't need them both. will keep you posted
-
dibs, pm on the way
-
2nd dibs on itm stem snd bullhorns - pm me if either falls through
-
maybe we could all chip in a quid and organise a timeshare?

650x22, all black, road tyre with decent puncture protection, valve is fine on my HED deep rim (not sure exact measurements though) but not that cheap at £50 - though with a Zipp you probably want a decent tyre.
