+1 Great job Velocio

The fool has been banned.

Thanks for the reply. Also noted (correct me if I am wrong) that the location of the court on Wednesday is weather dependant?

I am a 'throw in', just in London for Wednesday and maybe Thursday and just want to experience polo in London :) Will keep checking the South thread and fingers crossed, you will see a Coventry Eagle at the courts!

Regards,
Benjamin

Souths will always happen, don't let the lack of reply make you think otherwise! I'll be there, just assumed someone else would reply to you there.

I remember venn from his coming to souths a few times, nice guy.

I'm not in this Tuesday, but I'll see anyone that comes south on wed.

Hmmm... I know the recent discussion is about a session on Tuesday, but any chance anyone planning a game on Wednesday? Already posted a message on the South/Wednesday polo forum, but no reply as of yet!

Leather which someone's bum had been resting on for quite some time? Sumptuous? Get a life, or at least a new saddle!

I wanted to take in the sumptuous aroma of tanned leather

Bargain indeed, the seller might want the stickers on sale by the same seller to accompany his new stem :)

bargain

went for gbp26...

The question has to be asked what you doing sniffing a saddle in the first place.

Agreed :)

I bought a second saddle on here a while ago. etiquette minefield. I only discovered afterwards that it reeked of ass crack and sweat. I can't really see any way to avoid this though unless you are happy to sniff the saddle in front of them. I also didn't want to offend by asking for a refund afterwards though. Happy to say that the scent has gradually faded. Please can we set up a charity fund to reimburse others who have also found themselves in this difficult place.

You are too shy to offend the seller but not too shy to admit you sniffed an awful saddle? Ewwww... Conservative values??? LOL!

I dont sell but I donated. It's think a forum is like a cafe/pub, if you wanna hang around, buy a drink and dont just sit there and be a cheapskate ;)

what? and again, what?!..

Interested. Keep me updated!!!

;1531520']Bill, hold off on buying right now. We're getting some 48h, fix/fix on rims similar to chukkas in the shop soon, and at a very reasonable price. I'll let you know if they're worth it or not...

Dear all,

I will be in London next Wednesday and will be interested for a game or two. Would check back closer to the day but looking forward to it.

Regards,
Benjamin

Would have bidded on it too had I seen it. Agreed it's a steal at that price :)

that is true, but when you're out bidded by a couple of pounds it can be frustrating.
I don't know if the winner was suprised tbh, the seller listed the item under
"bags, racks and panniers" so with 110 page views at end of auction i'm confident it
didn't get its correct exposure.

reeeeeeppppppoooooooossssssstttttt..... :)

2nd DIBS pending pics :)

Not repping you but just sharing some experience. I know your reference to Bangkok is the mass made stuff.

Bangkok tailors are quite good if you are looking for a tailored suit, in fact, they source the same materials (albeit different brands) as many London tailors do.

Give them a ring and they will meet you at your hotel room to take your measurement, throw in 20 quid and it will be brought to your door for fitting tomorrow and if any alterations (not in my case) is needed, it will usually be done by the end of the day and brought back for 2nd fitting :)

As for the price, 3 suits for a price of 1 :)

£375 without silver buckles sounds reasonable for something custom made.

I can't justify this sort of purchase myself, but there are people around who pay more for custom tailored suits and shirts for example (as long as they don't do it in Bangkok).

Was previously offered on the forum ----> http://www.lfgss.com/thread45051.html

tidy, loving the rear bridge

Grobags in leather and silver buckles? Tasty :)

I need to put my prices up!

Great work by the way.

Can't say I did not see that pricetag coming. Really lovely looking and I am sure they are indeed beauties in flesh (skin???) :)

If ever the cash arises to indulge I will give you a PM, would prefer something custom as compared to the LV and Gucci that you can spot almost anywhere.

How much cheaper if they were bronze/stainless steel buckles?

Talking about silver, I might have some old silver at home (Malaysia), will take come pics of them when I am back next year. Maybe a trade of some sorts? My old silver for your well crafted leather? :)

@ coventryeagle - The black bag is £1250, this is due to the silver buckles, so would be much cheaper with standard base metal ones, which is what I was thinking for panniers etc

Free bump. That was the crankset I was very interested in last week. First DIBS was me, but you were ahead with the PM. Already got an alternative set, not as lush, but good enough. Best of luck with the sale, still gutted to see it being sold on over here : P

I know this is a request for interest thread, but just out of interest, how much for the 3rd one shown above? Dimensions please?

Thanks,
Benjamin

There is a screw on adaptor which is supplied by HED and some guy on evil-Bay, but they dont work. Although they come with a lock ring to secure the cog to the adaptor body, the adaptor itself is not secured to the wheel thus if you execute a skid, it still unscrews itself. Thus " to convert these to fixed just takes a bit of time." doesn't really tell the whole story.

Just sharing with fellow forumers of the available options and the risks. I have a pair of Specialized (previously with same screwed on Sach-Maillard 7 speed), tried the above and was not too happy with the results. Currently only running the front and leaving the rear at home. Not wanting to risk my life skidding with it. Best of luck with the sale!

Nice, just received the FSA track cranks today. Great dealing with you and will deal again :)

Black track cranks sold

Let's just give them some time and see what they come up with, and most of all absolve the organisation of all wrongdoings. We are dealing with Alex and not the organisation.

Borntoolate's reply to this thread encapsulates the feeling of the organisation, try to be in his shoes, a founder of a well intended org. finding out that somone in the org. is kinda murky and tainting their good name.

I am a volunteer at a similar project, and I share his feelings, the gutted sense of betrayal, the "What the hell?" moment when you realise your reputation is now on the line :)

Hopefully time will bring to light more facts and bring this issue to conclusion ;)

I'm with 606, you could drive a truck through the gaps in their statement. So, who is/was Alex Peacock, did the stuff he "sold" (Ha Ha) come from the project, why did he leave, when did he leave, how come they don't have any contact details etc etc.

I'm sure the project is totally legit and a nice bunch, but it sounds a bit like they're getting ready to say "nothing to do with us", what they should be saying is "This is terrible, here is what we know"

Which clearly wasn't an option with the seller. 'Used' indicates he rode the bike with plenty of spacers :)

Or a hacksaw.

Seller states that he got it off evilBay for 185, which is not too steep a price considering it is a complete bike. Would not rule out a bid if the price stays south of that :)

This is my first post so please forgive my ignorance - why is this bike so cheap? Is it really only worth about £50 or so? If so, then why?

Steerer tube seems uncut, 40mm worth of spacers? :)

if I didn't have two already I'd snap this up: £75!
