Bump- 10 speed or can I use less and adjust...

Too big for us at the mo but glws... Looks lovely...I may be interested in wheels if u split...

What age/height is your son? I can't see in the photos but is this fixed? Brakes?

I intend to do both...

I'm in the as nice as you can afford (to run as well as buy) school of thought for each sort of riding you do but am generally insured if anything gets nicked.

Hence, my general, Audax, going from a to b bike is a 70s Dawes Galaxy fixed with lots of nice but not too flashy bits. I love riding this bike.

Touring (or in reality weekend rides of over about 40 miles with panniers given mu current lack of fitness) is an old non curly Hetchins with the more modern groupset off my old condor - 9 speed campag/triple - I love riding this bike and it doesn't hurt my knees.

Club runs - Carbon Record Equipped DeRosa Prototype 1d - gorgeous and I love riding this but over about 60 miles everything hurts and I am terrified in general of theft, damage and the cost of replacing any of the running gear!

Train - brompton

Etc...

I agree with Hippy though- I cant stand the idea of something getting damaged through being used in conditions it wasn't meant for...

Isn't the forum lovely sometimes....

Would be good for a forum meet up and ride to catch the race in a couple of places...hoping to watch a bit early on with family then catch another bit a little later on- that's my well formulated plan!

We should be through Northampton Arm and back onto Grand Union next week with a view to gradual southward movement prior to being in London's famous London for the Olympics...let me know when you will be down towards Stoke Bruerne/Milton Keynes...

Dibs Sti's if u split.

Hi

I am after a set of 10 speed sti shifters for my winter bike.

All complete apart from the shifters at the mo - I have a set of Sora ones that I was given but there is nothing with them to attach them to the bars so I need either shifetrs complete or clamps for mine.

Thanks

Gareth

Interested in the 20t to buy if you will post

Gareth

Also - this is still listed on ebay ....still not allowed...

I love these sort of threads :-)

I guess not as new as in 2011...

Hi

Liverpool boats hulls are built in eastern Europe I think but seem well received/reviewed. I believe Uxbridge boats sell them.

Gareth

Thanks hippy!

Thanks Oller - seen these and they look good - problem is the bike is a bit of a beater and this seems a bit nice to leave on it...It might come to this but I'll see what turns up here first...

Gareth

As above, ideally willing to post.
I want to bolt the light onto my rack and then not have to worry about it. I have this set up on several of my bikes using old cat eye lights I think but no one seems to do anything cheap and cheerful that fits the bill anymore.

Thanks

Gareth

Hi

I remember reading somewhere on the forum about someone who did leather wraps of handlebars (instead of bar tape)...Anyone here have any idea who/what thread.....?

Fab - not local but will be in London for the duration of the summer so will bringsaddles along..A couple of my b17s are newish - older ones on some bikes may just want tidying up.

Thanks

Gareth

Mr Skully

Can the B17 be chopped? If so are you still doing this?

Thanks

Gareth
