This has gone to @thebikefelix.

I got this here a few years back and it has been the basis of my commuter since. Is decent enough; Columbus drop out, unknown tubing. Finally bitten the dust and along with some other damage there is now a crack in the top tube. This is propagating out of the front cable routing hole on the top tube. The crack goes up and down. Fork is fine, but frame looks like a write-off. Thought i would offer it here just in case someone can make use of the fork, or all of it. If you want to make a forum donation then excellent.

Good

1. A chrome fork
   
2. It has a BB
   
3. It has a headset
   
4. Noble Rot sticker
   
   

Bad

1. Crack in top tube
   
2. Seat tube is also slightly crushed where i once over torqued a kid seat clamp
   
3. Kid seat clamp also messed up the Noble Rot sticker.

Nice. Very much in the market for a riser bar and shortish stem, rather urgently. Perhaps the second or third black riser from the right, and Ritchey stem, or the Cannondale one, subject to prices.

Are the cinelli bars and stem still available? If so I can pick these up from Westminster tomorrow.

Otherwise will take the Oval bars with the grips.

Can I take:

2) FSA 3D Forged AL7050 OS 99 Stem CSI

Can pick up from EC1 during the day.

Hi. Is this v1 or v2?

Thanks that is helpful. Is it the reclamping that is going to be a particular issue, or is this a more general precaution?

Also - I don’t know if you know if i have been unlucky here, or whether 8nm was always going to be a bit much. The frame is a low grade Columbus tube set I believe.

Attaching a Thule child seat to my commuter/beater this afternoon and I appear to have crushed the seat tube.

Followed the guidance of 8nm, and from the weight of the frame had assumed it was made from some not very fancy steel. However it has definitely been crimped by the clamp.

To those that know more than me about steel frames: any thoughts on how much of a problem this is would be really helpful. Obviously want this to be safe if i am going transport our son on it.

Many thanks in advance.

Those with Thule ST mounted seats: what tension did you tighten the clamp to?

I have dutifully followed the guide and tightened mine to 8nm and I seem to a crimped the ST. It is an old steel frame that from the weight I had assumed was made from scaffolding tubes, but the clamp has definitely misshapen the tubing.

Aargh.

Thanks all - really helpful. Think we are going with the Giro.

Thanks. Yeah - the Giro looks like a good one (MIPS etc). Out of interest what age was yours when they started wearing it?

Hi all, didn’t want to confuse this post, but if any of you have thoughts on helmets for a 15 month old, it would be great to hear them here:

Hello,

Anyone any thoughts on this? Have just brought a child seat (one of the Thule seatpost mounted ones). Now need a helmet. He is currently 15 months. Have read a bunch of reviews online, but thought i would see if anyone has any useful experiences.

(Couldn’t find an existing thread elsewhere, but please point out if I am being a moron)

Thanks. Really helpful!

Does anyone know? The website says they are moving site, but the old site looks like it was shut up some time ago.

@bg2 did the cassette go? Still interested if not.

I will very happily take the cassette if @PhilDAS doesn’t end up wanting it.

(Based in E9, and work centrally).

Thanks

Brilliant - and they have the same removable inner seals?

Thanks - that is really helpful.

Assume you were looking at these ones?

Shhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyaat.

Many thanks for looking!

Amazing! Many thanks.

Hi,

Looking for an ITA or BSA set with the inner water seals in them (Chorus or Record) so i can take them out and fit them in a set of the BLACK Super Record cups, and then run them with a set of Record cranks (without ceramic bearings) free of paranoia, whilst feeling comfortable with the ascetic of my bike.

Just need the seals. You can’t buy them separately it seems. Record BB cups come in a bad grey.

Many thanks,

Adam

Bump for a top seller. The cranks I bought were in top condition. Many thanks Olly.

Pm with you on the chainset.

Hello all,

Looking for the 5 arm version, which i think ran up to 2015.

Many thanks,

Adam
