http://www.lfgss.com/thread45211.html

Track Wheel and coversion kit still available.

Zipp wheel and pads provisionally sold to taogeogheganhart pending collection.

Planet X/On One front wheel and ss conversion kit still available.

having said this, do you not know when you're over pricing something?
i personally prefer to discuss in a pm to the seller so that crappy responses stay off the thread.
magnello can ask whatever he wants for his items, make an offer if you think it's overpriced or move on.

Fair point. I'm not actually talking specifically about Magnello, I was just talking generally, but point taken and this isn't the place for a discussion, it's someone's sale thread so end of. I'll shut up now. : )

What do you do chuck in your 2p or stear clear?

From my perspective I always appreciate people putting in their point of view. That's what I like about the classifieds on here, you know if you buy something you're not getting ripped because otherwise someone would have burned them for overpricing. It's a good system!

Even as a seller I like the fact that if I was overpricing someone would say something because I like to think I would provide a fair deal and it's against the spirit of the community to rip people off. If I perhaps felt like it's worth slightly more, there's always fleabay...

Cheers Aidan, good to meet you!

That's lovely! Shame it's waaaaaaaay to small for me!

If you think that will be the case and try it on, you'll quickly find your threads simply get deleted instead.

; ) generally denotes a joke...

The nut chat is all very well, but I would like to sell this.

Don't complain, they're giving you bumps...

Probably why so many people don't bother giving a prefix at the moment (despite it being obvious), 'cos they can be sure of a free bump from Hippy telling them to sort it! ; )

Is it eBay time?

Calipers gone to Canaidan pending collection. All other items still available.

Are the Carbon rim pads, for carbon rims?

Yes they are, I haven't tried them so don't know how good they are though, hence £5.

They look like standard pads in tacky faux-carbon holders.

The pictures aren't great so the pads show as darker than they are, they're definitely not standard pads. They were sold as carbon rim pads, however were cheaper than the dura-ace pads so (as I mention above) I'm not sure how good they are.

Agreed the faux-carbon holders are tacky, but I just wanted to see how the cheaper pads compared to dura-ace, and that's how they came. Smooth!

Hi,

As I'm a generous kind of bloke, I want to give some folk on here some cash by buying some of their items, only problem is I'm skint... so I'm flogging things first!

All items can be collected from Brick Lane on evenings and weekends or Waterloo/Southwark on weekdays. However if you're really nice I might be persuaded to meet somewhere else.

Thanks,
Ed

Haha, I'm sure she'd love that! Although it would stop the argument of "you put them all on iTunes anyway!".

That's all good! I'm not going to cue jump so even if Oliver does need longer that's fine. The sacred and ancient art of dibs should never be ignored!

To be fair I need to just bite the bullet and get one of those wall sized ones! It's just every time I look at them, I think "I could buy loads of CD's for the price of that!", and so it continues... Much to my girlfriends annoyance!

2nd Dibs if Oliver pulls out. I'm overflowing with CD's.

Thanks!

Someone said sex scandal and I got here as quick as I could.

No, they said sex sandals. These are my sex sandals, I never have sex without them on paired with a super sexy pair of wool socks.

I ended up re-building the hub as Shimano in order to get a SS conversion kit that would fit. Got there in the end!

What's the point of the tandem? It doesn't pack smaller than a normal tandem, it doesn't provide any extra leg length adjustment, setback adjustment is adequate on normal bikes by choosing the right seat post, and reach adjustment on tandems is handled by stoker stem changes, including telescopic ones (as fitted) if you need to adjust for different riders from day to day. I just can't see any reason for the rear seat to be mounted on that cantilever beam, and worse it looks circular in cross section so any off axis load is going to send the saddle off to the side unless the clamping force is huge. Wrong on so many levels that I really would like to hear the owner/builder's justification.

I wish I could have been *rsed to lay my thought pattern out so clearly regarding the tandem... I instead opted for "FAIL".

About the most tasteful and undeserving of antiporn status Softride i'v ever seen.

Here are some that deserve to be here:

Tandom Softride?!?!?

I have a Zipp 440 rear carbon tub if that fits the bill? How much are you looking to spend?

I was toying with the idea of selling it, not sure yet but if it's a tempting offer I could be swayed...

Let me know if you'd like pictures.

Sorry Ed, but with MMcCarthy doing his hair, and Dublin Kevin attending alter boy practice sessions with Bishop Chainbreaker, there are so few dates available.

To be fair MMcCarthy doing his hair should always take precedence... I have yet to see it in person, but from all accounts it's beautiful!!
