although it's a little off-topic, i did some evening laps of Regent's Park outer circle the other night, didn't realise there's basically no street lights! however, the darkness and my forgetfulness of headphones made it bizarrely meditative (or something). was good to have company from the beardy bloke on a fixed fuji too.very enjoyable awy to de-stress after shitty work

Hi, I was the beardy bloke on the fuji! Sadly my legs couldn't go for more laps in the other direction with you. Unfit due to being lazy over winter but much more enjoyable doing laps with someone! Will hopefully be up there in the morning again for a few laps

Hey,
Dibs the 6) MKS Sylvan Pedals. Will PM you now

Dan

Thanks again for the CK headset Toby, will fit nicely on my Surly Crosscheck I'm building up

Hammersmith is perfect if you can wait until the weekend as working tomorrow and Friday. Send you a PM with my number

Hi,
Would you be willing to post or meet for collection around central London? If so will definitely take the Chris King Headset

Cheers
Dan

Dibs the Wald basket. Will pm now

Final bump before I bite the bullet and buy new!

Some bits and pieces for sale to clear some space and provide some money towards a new frame! Donation of 5% to the forum for anything that sells. Collection from Caledonian Road N1 preferred although will to meet somewhere within reasonable distance. Would rather not post but if buyer is willing to pay so be it. Preference will be taken for people who can meet locally though.

Mountain Bike wheels taken from my Specialized Pitch as now replaced with Hope Pro2. Specialized hubs with Specialized Eskar tyres still with plenty of life left in them. Will not be coming with the rotors or Kenda Small Block 8 tyre as pictured on rear wheel. Can include the 9 speed cassette if you want - £75 ono

Michelin XC Road tyres which I used on the wheels above when spending more time on the road. Still plenty of life. £10

Wheels off my 2009 Fuji Track. No tyres or tubes. Have been sitting in my shed for the past year so not sure on whether they are true or not. Skewer in the back wheel seems loose not sure why. Comes with track cog £30 ono

Various bits -

FSA carbon stem - unpacked put on my bike and realised too long. I think its 120 mm. Never ridden with it. £15
Crankset with pedals - cheap and unable to get pedals off although haven't tried very hard. £5
Grips - Taken from Specialized Pitch £3
Black Steam - £3
FSA Handlebars - Bought but not wide enough for what I want. 31.8 clamp and 600mm wide. Some marks from storage but never used on a bike - £10
Fuji Saddle - taken from Fuji track, some slight scuffs £5

Lomography Diana F Camera - It is called the Black Jack which is one of the clones that can be seen on the Lomography website. Hardly used as I have some other film cameras I use more. Comes with Flash and attachments, Standard lens, Fisheye lens and sight, Diana F Book, 12 rolls of Black and White Film and 5 rolls of Colour Film. Camera and Flash is currently £89 new and the fisheye lens is about £25 and each pack of film is about £9 therefore I think a fair price for the whole lot £100. That's at least £60 quid off retail.

If prices seem too steep I'm open to offers

Cheers
Dan

A weekend bump just incase anybody has seen anything! 56 or 58

Hi,

As the title looking for a Surly Crosscheck Frame in 56cm.

If anybody has one they are thinking of parting with or seen any deals around that would be great.

Cheers
Dan

Dibs! Should be good for my first road bike build. Will PM in the morning if thats alright.

Would you be willing to split? Could be interested in the groupset if so

I have a wheelset off a 2009 Fuji Track that I could sell cheap. I think there may be a problem with the rear axle but comes with a fixed cog. No tyres but will search around for tubes. Say £30?

Hi,

My friend has to move out of his flat on Monday and just wondering if anybody is looking for a housemate or knows of anything. Currently he is in Stamford Hill but willing to look anywhere around North/North East/East although could be swayed to move south of the river.

He is in his 30's and works in the wine trade. If anything comes up I will pass on the details for him to get in touch.

Any help would be great.

Cheers
Dan

So having a pint in the Shakespear Pub on Allen Road in Stoke Newington. Check my bike all good and go back in to get my girlfriend come out 5 mins later and my brooks saddle is gone. Its the Brooks Swift Chrome in Honey with a bit of wear on the nose of it and a few scratches around the edges. I know there is probably no hope of getting it back but need to vent my frustration. So pissed off and there was loads of people sitting outside the pub. anyways if anyone gets offered it around stoke newington then please let me know. its a long shot but worth a try.

more annoyed about the fact that my girlfriend (who isnt a big cyclist) put alot of research into buying it for me and feel shit for her.

anyways just in case, i will go down to brick lane on saturday with hope to see it. need to find out if there is a serial number. the one time i forgot to bring an allen key this happens.

Been in England too long didn't even know this existed! Annoyingly I'm going back home to Listowel the following weekend for a few days so will miss it.

Sorry guys due to having to spend money elsewhere I now can't upgrade so going to cancel the sale of this. Not sure how to remove a thread but will do so once I learn!

Would you be willing to sell the knee pads seperately and if so what size are they?

Thats great. Thanks for your help.

Yeah i have a feeling my on-one hub measurements are not 100%. I have built a front on-one hub onto a Rigida DP18 (which is nigh on identical to a deep v albeit heavier) and i used 276mm so i'd go with that.Always better to be an increment too short than too long (for once!) and if worst comes to worst you can always get longer nipples.

One thing to check is the hub measurements as the spoke calcs are not always quite right. I'd suggest measuring it yourself or checking on Arup Sen's website here;
