Cycling to Paris in September.....but thinking the avenue verte seems a lot of map reading and getting lost....tempted to take the D915 which goes all the way from Dieppe to Paris. Has anyone ridden this? Or know what D roads are like in France? Are they the equivalent of an A road in the Uk?

Sold to a good home! Enjoy.

Open to offers.....£275 anyone?

Still available. But unlikely to take less than £300. Took it to condor and they said they have a replacement cassette which should sort out slipping problem. But haven't bought or fitted this. Measured top tube to floor assume this is standover height, it's 79cm. I'll try to get some photos up shortly. D

I'm guessing by that you mean from frame down to the floor.... I can measure that this evening. I am 5.10 and have ridden it with a fair bit of seat tube, so probably suit someone a bit smaller but depends on personal preferance

Hi Dandandan, would you be able to give me a PM if your still keen to view?

Hi All,

For sale is a Brian Rourke Road bike. I bought it off here from the below thread .....www.lfgss.com/thread53580.html

Changes I have made: clincher wheels mavic open pro rims with campagnolo record hubs. True and spin nicely.

Schwalb Durano tyres. Done about 100 miles on them.

Campagnolo seatpost.

Campanolo front derailer

Mks pedals with toeclips

The bad: The middle gears slip and have since I bought it.I've asked Evans about this and they said the cassette is probably worn. I don't have the dedication or mechanical knowhow to sort it.

Pick up only in London. Liverpool st or Victoria.

I bought it for 250 and spent around 100 making the above changes. Therefore I would like around 300 but open to offers.

Photos in the previous thread. I've only got camera phone but happy to add photos if there is interest.

Thanks

YHA = Youth Hosteling Association

Maybe try YHA..they tend to have bike storage although worth calling ahead to see how secure it is....hotels will tend not to want you to keep your bike in your room.

Fixed...no idea of ratio though!

In...first forum ride looking forward to meeting you guys.

Massive fan of this one...just can't justify it at the moment!

Bought one of these off the forum for commuting....very highly recommended....low stress, low cost, full mudguards to keep completely dry and surprisingly fast!

Dibs....just PMing

These wouldn't be right for you unfortunately...these are tubulars which aren't really for around town. Also for a single speed you will need single speed wheels (these ones have a cassette) on the rear.

Sorry no idea.....

Half the way there....

Why thank you...would you like them?

Yep both GP4s but don't look like they were from the same time (different stickers)

Hi All,

Got a pair of "retro" road wheels off a recent purchase off this forum which I have changed for clinchers.

Therefore these are for sale....

Information: Mavic rims (not the same model)

               Shimano Hubs (600)
                Tubular tyres, one with puncture(which can be fixed apparently) one fine. Neither in great condition.
                Shimano 6 speed cassette

The wheels are true and the cassette works fine as far as I could tell in the limited time that I spent riding them. Reasonably clean and tidy.

Anyone interested? Collection from central-west london or liverpool st. Or might be tempted to deliver for the right price....

No idea what these are worth so make me an offer if your interested. May I start the (negative) bidding at £30?

Thanks

I've got a set of road tubulars.....shimano hubs on mavic rims with cassette.....PM me if that would be any use and I can send pictures etc

Thanks for all the advice....ended up getting a clincher wheelset fitted and a few other problems sorted by retro di corsa. Very good job!

Therefore if anyone is interested in some tubs let me know. Will do a proper classified in due course.

Thanks for all the words of wisdom and options...will update

Thank you for your words of wisdom...

Would this be the right type of thing?

In my ignorance I loosened the tyre from the rim....do you reckon its ok just to glue it back up or should I start again with a fresh tyre?

D

Does it work? I've heard its liable to burst..
