pics in attachments hopefully they work!

Top top from stem to seatpost measure approx 52.5cm

To clarify this frame / forks takes two 700c wheels, giving a rad stance with tight clearances on front forks and by the seat tube. Pics by late tonight or tomorrow morning as I'm off out after work at 8pm. . .

Forgot to say dibs followed by PM!

I'm selling my lovely Reynolds 853 yellow pursuit frameset, made by Isla bikes in the mid 1990's, as I am retiring from the world of brakeless riding. Only 4 were ever made, and were for the Isla track team in the UK

Paintwork is a bit scratched so you could either leave it as is or respray it, I'm 5'10' and can ride it comfortably. The seatpost is stuck at the position seen in the avatar photo, so if you are keen you can get it sorted via Superted etc.

Comes with Miche 48t chainring and Izumi 1/18 chain, riser bars, and Nitto stem. Pedals are Animal, and the straps are Holdfast.

Would like £330 for the frameset, cash on collection from Brixton.

Photos to follow tonight, but the frame can be seen in my avatar photograph.

RIP JOSH, always remember him carrying the most stuff I've ever seen a courier hold, bags hanging off his bag, even on clasped in his mouth.

He had bangin music taste, and was always good company whenever I was with him after work.

Ride in peace bro, thoughts to his close friends and fam

Nice one Ghostface, thanks for the PM back so I'll defo have Shook Ones, and also Simon Says too. Had to re-read that list!!! I'm near you so can pick up next week from Tues onwards. Big up!

Word Ghostface!

Er, if primitive robot doesn't come through I'll 2nd dibs Mobb Deep Shook Ones 12" please. PM incoming.

Bless.

Just trying to make a living. Way to hate on someone not sitting on their arse claiming benefits.

1) So am I and its hard.

2) Its not America

3)I'm not hating, just describing something insane - a Gasmask and a guy in the rain with a wet envelope.

4) I'd probably make more money on benifits and shotting weed than couriering and music but I've chosen the hard way.

5)One love Etienne stay safe dude (or dude-ess)

Undibs Holdfasts, found a pair in London thanks anyway

I saw Gasmask Hybrid man in Brixton then again later in Vauxhall on Friday - how the fuck does that dude breathe?

Also saw a newbie courier with no courier bag, a radio round his neck held with rope (!), no waterproofs, flat back tyre on his mountain bike in the pissing rain holding a soaking wet envelope going slowly up Queen Victoria St last Tuesday - classic.

Dibs Holdfasts - PM sent

sorry, er, Numarks!!

dibs Newmarks pending a visit - I'll PM you now

Sold, thanks for all the enquiries, messages and texts. These mixers come up regularly on eBay, Gumtree and on here so if you missed out on mine there will be another at the same price somewhere!

Meeting Sir Arnold Swarzenegger and discovering that he really in fact did invent Vimto. I'd have to take the honorable way and fall on my sword.

That, and the Lots Wife / Pillar of Salt / Sodomite thing someone mentioned earlier.

I wish my bike was that clean. Dont personally like light colours.

The trackstand barspin near the end was good.

Other than that it was really boring, and the best thing about this thread was RPM's reply, only let down by the quite delusional opinion that Sir Arnold Swarzenegger discovered Vimto. Your wrong, it was in fact Cardinal Richeleau of the Spanish Inquisition. How else do you explain his wondrously coloured red robes?

TODAY, Sunday June 3rd

Today FREE street party Farleigh Rd N16, all official as far as the relevant authorities are concerned so its all legal for the Jubilee (er, rolleyes??)

Sorry people, I've had no internet service for a while, but back online now.

Thanks to everybody that showed interest.

Mixer provisionally sold to "Anyone" pending collection.

"SidNewman" your up next if it all goes horribly wrong, then "Mackmoose."

Big respect to Tokyo Fixed for helping me out with that 'gratis' Gatorskin tyre a coupla days ago 11am ish, you guys really helped as I was so skint and didnt want to have to part with £30. . .bless up.

Remember, this is only my opinion, and I say it without apology:

Basically, getting a job as a courier is like signing up to go to war. Your at war with everything on the road: cars, peds, buses, cabs, bikes, commuters and yourself. I'm usually on the road in the morning for about ten minutes before another road user does something that fucks me off to the point I start shouting all manner of bollocks at them. By the same token, a lot of the things I do piss other users off, so its swings and roundabouts, and I try not to take anything personally.

If your emotionally unstable dont do it. If you like a beer during the day or a smoke, chances are you wont be as productive as the next man who doesnt.

My advice is, turn up at the firm you wanna ride for as son as their fleet dept opens in the morning, and get stuck in. Other couriers will give you advice, some of them will give you good advice, some bad. If your street knowledge is shit, you wont get hired, unless you cheat the test - this has been done by many riders but I wouldnt recommend you do it.

I've done it for two years and cant imagine doing anything else, the future scares the shit outta me as I'll never find a job this fun again.

Just dont work for my agency, we've got too many riders already.

Feel free to PM me with questions - but I might not have the right answers, this is all I'm gonna say for now.

Big up Moving Target, Bill, my controllers and fellow colleagues and all other working couriers worldwide you are all heroes, dont forget Donkey Derby tomorrow in the Horseshoe, Clerkenwell Close open to all working couriers. . .beers and shenanegans guarenteed

Easy all,

I'm selling a Behringer VMX300 mixer, perfect for the first-time DJ, having treated myself to a new mixer.

3 channels, all working. Killswitches for bass, mids, and tops.

Headphone and mic inputs, headphone adaptor included as are the conecting jack leads to plug this mixer into your amplifier.

Power lead included.

Used but clean, from a pet-free but not smoke free home.

£40 on collection in Brixton, please dib and then PM me.

So ya didn't think it through, really, did you? I wasn't 'tailgating' you, and only partly cause you don't have a tailgate. Did you mean 'drafting', dear?

No. I hadn't passed you firstly because you'd been wobbling all over the shop like a kiddie with the stabilisers off for the first time. Then I didn't pass because we were approaching a junction with a red light, and it wouldn't have been sensible. In fact, it would have been totally against your interests because you were going to shoot right off the road and down the pavement (like a kid). My judgment was correct. Yours wasn't. Now fuck off.

Interesting bike though - yellow Islabike track bike with the thinnest bridge I have ever seen on the seatstays.

Now it's pretty obvious who I mean, I may well have insulted a venerable member of the forum, who appears to be a working courier.

Still rides like a wazzock.

Your fuckin funny dude! I could hear you ranting at the lights while I rode away.

I was hungover this morning and was worried you'de hit me from behind if someone crossed at the upcoming crossing. What happened after that had nothing to do with my actions against you and it was up to you if you still wanted to be upset. I understand I 'rode like a kid'. Well, I feel like one to be honest, never cared for 'growing up'.

I hope after meeting me your day improved and you had a pleasant day, as I did riding all day in the glorious sun.

Peace out bro.

too much detail ...........
