tibbly, what kind of bike...? maybe the members here might be interested.

We are a much better class of scallywag here methinks...

Bianchi Pista Via Condotti 2010. (The celeste version.) Only a few months old.

I was going to post it on here but there doesn't seem to be much interest for complete OTPs (for obvious reasons.) Thought Gumtree might be a better bet with the large nodder contingent.

If anybody is interested I might post it here instead and make a contribution to the forum. haven't really made my mind up about the price yet though. Would probably want £350+. I reckon that's reasonable.

I just wanted to get a few opinions on this as it is the first time I've sold a bike in London and I'm not sure what people expect.

I'm about to stick it on eBay or Gumtree for collecton only with the idea that potential buyers can come round and look at the bike and check it's the right size etc and I was wondering what the concensus is on test rides?

I don't want to appear too hostile to buyers but I live in Hackney and I'm not stupid. The Stolen Bikes thread and Brick Lane have made me pretty aware of what people are capable of. So do I refuse a test ride? Ask for the guys wallet and ID like some shops do?

Opinions please.

Serious.

Here's where I am with my Dave Quinn build. Apologies for the shit photo - it's all I have for the moment.

There's a couple of things I'm not happy with but I'm out of cash for this month. BLB seatpost is the obvious one.

I've found the ultimate combo from the 3 for £5 deli selection to be tortilla, stuffed vines leaves and mozzarella/sunblush tomatoes. I'm not down with fish or meat though admittedly.

I was quite pissed off they stopped that 2 for £3 thing they used to do on salad pots. It's now 3 for £5. Why you'd want £5 worth of salad is anyone's guess. Bastards.

I'd say he's on the verge of becoming infamous in the production industry. I love that he thinks he is some sort of modern-day Hemingway figure firing off cultural communiqué from behind enemy lines when in fact he is essentially fronting an unfunny Danny Dyer's Hardest Cunts.

What a giblet.

Ross Kemp. Utter fucking ego cunt. He's in here again doing VO complaining that he can't get a mobile signal in the suite. FFS.. Err.. Use the fucking land line on your right. Oh, and Ross. It's a sound booth so it's fucking well insulated that's why there's no signal you fat, bald, stumpy cunt..

Once the police came to my work looking for a mate of mine. I work at a production company and as my friend is a director he's not required to be in the office everyday. I explained this to the police and they said they would visit him at home. I called my friend to warn him they were on their way and he started (understandably) freaking out. He had no idea what they could want with him. He called his family to check they were all ok and they were. He tried to think what they could want and he couldn't come up with anything. It was really starting to get to him. He phoned me back and asked me what I thought he should do - he had a train ticket to the North East and had to leave in an hour. I advised him to catch the train and he did. After he had left the police visited his flat. His flatmate explained he'd gone up north for the Christmas holidays and wouldn't be back for two weeks. The police weren't pleased. Apparently it was a very pressing matter and they would have to contact him by phone. Later that day I got a phonecall from my director mate - the police had finally got hold of him. Turns out they wanted to caution him over 'menacing phonecalls' he had been making to a certain celebrity. It took him a second to figure out what they meant but then he remembered. He'd got Ross Kemp's mobile number from a shoot callsheet and saved it in his phone. One night we got pretty wasted and decided to give him a ring. I wish I could say that we stopped at one phonecall but sadly I can't. Every time we called him he got angrier (i.e. more hilarious) and we literally spent all night calling him. It was amazing. Evidently he didn't see it that way. Crybaby.

Awesome.

I really want the VELO REGAL COPY New and Unused £22
...but it's £4 more expensive than the VeloSolo price and that's just not cricket.

^^^ I second the above. Just got my wheelset from Varno. Great wheels, great price, fast delivery, totally customised to my spec and NOT FOR SALE ON EBAY.

Can't see any issue with this at all.

"Ever had that thing where you take a shit, then look in the bowl and nothing's there, then question whether you actually took a shit or not?"

"Ever had a ghost shit?"

They'll know...

Seems like a good price.

Does anybody know how these hold up to everyday city riding? Compared to something like Velocity Deep-V for instance?

Has anyone got a nice black quill stem for me? Nitto or similar.

I'm also after black risers in a reasonable condition.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

lefty. try £800 for the vouchers, then you might get some interest. maybe.

This^^^

the guy was a few pence short of a pound and an obsessive hoarder by the looks of things.

Was it this guy?

Is there any clue to the model? Won't be that difficult to figure out the tubing if there is...

I'm guessing this is 531?

Ah... Just sold my Leica M6 on Monday. Wanted to send her to a good home but had to make do with a dealer in the end. 35mm lens too. Would have been up for doing a deal... Balls.

Am I right in thinking the Deep-V for sale is non-machined?

Nice 61cm Benotto on Gumtree:

Century Gothic?

It's not Century Gothic. Quite unusual looking actually. At first I thought it was a Futura varient or Relay maybe... but the 'E' and the '0'... No idea.

Fascinating.
