I've seen some really nastily chewed up chainstays, so I think it's a smart idea to check them out. I've heard people recommend them, but I don't know the brand to buy. Road cc seem to like this one: http://road.cc/content/review/89474-k-edge-road-chain-catcher

Tubing? Dimensions? What's the kit? State of wear on wheels? Am sure I'm not the only person wondering about these key data.

There is a rule about this has to be the only place you're selling the bike. I think a link somewhere else is probably fine. It's like if you had the frame in a shopA and put an advert in shopB saying "hey, go to shopA for a patinatastic vintage frame", would that be double selling? I think not.

Health warning - it pains me to admit it, but sometimes my logic is flawed. The rest of the time it's perfect.

Track stand champ. Respect!

Feckin thefters. Some of those locks have guarantees to replace the bike if it's stolen. Worth checking?

LeMes - I've dibbed (7), so I think your "currently still available" list is wrong. Wouldn't want anyone to get all excited and then disappointed.

Dibs on:
(4) HP-7410 headset 35€
(6) RD-7402 30€
(7) BR-7402 40€
PM on its way.

Did this ever sell? If not, I might be interested. Thanks. Ben.

I've been really impressed by these - takes quite a lot to break them, and great feel while spannering.

The Raleigh has a Heron head badge... but I wasn't able to find a Raleigh "Competition" with cable routing through the top tube like that.

@robbo - thanks for that. I recently had a frame sent to me that had £12 on the package. I'd like to dibs the Raleigh subject to 2 things:

1. the wear at the 531c sticker - is that just superficial or something more sinister
   
2. I'll be using mudguards and 25mm or 28mm tyres - is there sufficient clearance (3 pics would tell me - with a wheel in front and rear, a pic of the fr and rr brake clearance and then one of how close the tyre is to the seat tube)
   
   

Apologies for wanting the detail - I've got stung by this kind of thing before. Thanks. Ben.

How much to post the Raleigh 531c frame to darkest Devon? Thanx.

Dibs on mudguards. Will pm.

Can you give the dimensions plz. It actually looks a bit bigger than 60cm... Be good to know the top tube; wheel base; seat tube size.

"Or vile chicks". Touche.

Nice looking frame, my size too. I have a couple of questions. The campion del monde frames usually have stickers denoting the frame title and tubing - what happened to them? Is it fully chromed (that's my understanding of "cromovelato")?

Thanks.

Sheldon said that the threads are so similar, the headsets are interchangeable. Just go for it, like the king says.

I think it looks great. Would need a price before expressing interest.

Also, shipping costs to the UK plz.

Bit more info would be good. Top tube length? What tyre sizes will it take? How does the seat pin clamp work? Thanks - amazing looking frame and my size too...

I'll take the endura bibs plz (#10). Will message you. Thanks. Ben.

Crank Brothers Pica. Exceedingly good - I recommend them unreservedly. They have a couple of options in terms of numbers of tools.

My recommendation is to first tighten up the pedals. Quick and easy, often the problem. Have known people take a bike apart, only to find that it was a very slightly loose pedal.

That Lemoncello... scoop some vanilla icecream into a bowl, crumble up a few biscuits over the top and then drench it in Lemoncello. Unbelievable. Wife did this for me a coupla weeks ago and I was her slave for a week.

I'll have the brakes plz. Will pm you.
