Goodfellow frame in Reynolds 531ST, 63 cm. Goodfellow was a framebuilder based in Oxford who worked just for a local market. Long wheelbase and relaxed angles -- very comfortable for long rides and a great load carrier. Long rake/low trail fork in the randonneur style beloved of the folk at Velo Orange. Nice lugs. Paintwork is a bit shabby. A couple of handlebar dings and a dimple at the top of one of the seatstays, but frame is well built and sound. Includes Shimano BB in good nick and Shimano SGX sealed bearing headset which is in good shape except for the bearings which are notchy. £95 pounds or £110 couriered.

Mavic Open Pro rim, Campagnolo Veloce hub, with Campagnolo 9-speed cassette. Well made wheel which has had only had light use and is in very good condition. Nice smooth bearings and the teeth look to have plenty of life. £65 or £75 couriered.
Cinelli Pinocchio track stem. Boxed. Made of fluted Columbus steel with a red anodized alu bolt cap. Has been fitted, but hardly used. 140mm, steep angle, 26mm clamp. £20 or £24 posted.
Campagnolo bottom bracket. English thread. 1.370 x 24 TPI. Axle width is 111 mm. I don't know what range this comes from, but it is silky smooth with no play and the threads are perfect. Someone once took off one of the cups with a wrench, but the notches are fine. £10 or £13 posted.

I had one of these -- one of the chain stays rusted through so I had to dump it. A very sweet frame to ride.

You can always wear pyjamas, though
Hey, that's me!

More fool you, then.
I mean "I" as in "I, imagining myself to be a consumer of the Rapha brand". Sorry for not making that clear to you. I wouldn't ever buy the stuff because people say it's expensive and falls apart.

This image is something that you do care about?
Yes, very much. The colours are a bit muted, though, and I can't see whether there are any velour panels.

Does anyone know whether all the classic Chater Lea three arm cranksets have Chater Lea stamped on them? I have a set which don't and I wonder if they're for real... They are identical in every way to the stamped ones and were fitted to a 1947 Holdsworth Cyclone -- although they might of course have been added later. Thanks.

With Rapha I feel that too much of my hard-earned is going into a rather smug branding exercise - I'm shelling out for an image that I don't care about and that one day will enable the owner to sell his company to Adidas for a small fortune.

Golly, I didn't know Rapha were around back then.

Well, in fact, the money goes into Mr Big Rapha's Big Pockets. Not much room left in there, I would guess, after a successful career in the city followed by a few years copying vintage cycle clothing and flogging it off to "market segments" who buy things because they are expensive. All that ersatz art photography and never-mind-the-price-just-feel-my-huge-passion-for-cycling schtick... I'd rather wear a shell suit.

On a long ride, follow your appetite - it will tell you much more accurately than any nutritional plans what you should be eating and drinking. Eat real food little and often - nutritional products are pure marketing, nothing else. The trick is to make sure you have the right range of foods with you, but personally I have never gone wrong with bananas, marmite sandwiches, rice cakes, chocolate and water.
I used to take a tupperware box of jugged hare, but it made me throw up after twenty yards or so...

Round Arsenal stadium they've started taking portable grinders to D-Locks, while hiding under blankets! Thieves target events like football matches where they can be fairly sure they won't be confronted by the owner until the event is over.
I use locking skewers called Pitlocks which are ridiculously expensive (around £40 the pair), but you can lock your bike any old how and not worry about the wheels. I've never lost a bike that way. I lose bikes because I think, Surely I can nip in to the shop for half a minute without locking up...

Hi there, what are these forks made of, how heavy are they, and do they take allen key or nut-fitting brakes? Thanks!

Verdo, I am 6' 6.5", much of it leg... This frame is slightly too small for me -- hence the sale.
