Summer appears to be over. I have these unused Lake CXZ176 winter shoes in size 43 which have only been tried on and have never had cleats fitted.

I am normally a size 43 wide in Lake shoes but it turns out even on Lake's own website they recommend a size up for these, which I didn't read before buying in January: https://www.lakecycling.com/products/cxz-176

Based in W4 but am in Soho on weekdays. £70

Price drop, and here's a pic of it with some carbon wheels.

They say this the peak of rim brake frames, and I originally got this with a plan to do a weight weenie build with 11sp eTap and eeBrakes but thanks to a pothole with my other bike this became my only functional bike and honestly the Ultegra groupset has been so flawless it's hard to justify replacing it. Unfortunately I now could do with the money more than a super light bike so this has to go.

The frame is 52cm in the bold Acid Pink Camo colourway. The steerer has been cut so other than the sizeable headset cover it's slammed. The frame is in great condition albeit a few cable rubbing marks on the head tube and here is a mark on the side of the chainstay — I've included a photo to show this, but it's hard to see unless the bike is upside down.

• Groupset is 11sp Ultegra but with the newer (non-debonding and cracking) 12sp crankset. Other important numbers are: 172.5mm, 52/36, and 11-28t.
  
• Wheels are Mavic Krysiums with 25mm GP4S tyres.
  
• The jockey wheels have been replaced with CeramicSpeed versions(!) by the previous owner.
  
• Bars are 42cm Specialized Expert Alloy Shallow Bend Handlebars, in need of new tape!
  
• Stem is some kind of Specialized alloy 90mm stem with Garmin out front mount.
  
• Saddle is Specialized Romin (I think?) with carbon rails, it has a small rip in the side (see the photo).
  
• No pedals or bottle cages included.
  
  

Hopefully that covers everything. I also have the parts to convert this to wireless shifting (the alu cover plate for the down tube and the bottom bracket cover) and the adapter for smaller frames to fit eeBrakes if you want to go down that route.

Had the cranks been 170mm I'd have snapped them right up.

Not sure if OP got his groupset and hope it’s ok to post this but I’m also looking for a rim brake Red eTap 11sp groupset, most keen to find shifters and mechs. @andyp or @duncs, did you have something? Cheers.

I reckon that's exactly why these doors are all secured solely by a magnet, these property developers have tons of red tape for fire safety so it's by far the easiest (and cheapest) solution.

I'm not--it's a lot easier to wheel bikes without locks still attached.

True.

It sounds like mainly a design issue, then, so the door clearly needs beefing up, but of course that won't change the apparent fact of how easy it is to access once the gate is climbed (and how easy it is to get back out of the gate once inside?).

Once over the gate you can press the button to get out. You need to do some climbing to get to the bike room but it's not hard. They've been talking about putting spikes or whatever on top for ages.

Anyway, not much to be done now, keep your loved ones/bikes close!

I had that idea when Airtags came out and YouTube was awash with people deliberately getting their bikes nicked, but of course I didn't do anything about it...

Yeah for sure, and new developments are clearly shiny targets. In this case they climbed over the front gate and just kicked the bike room door hard until it opened as it was only secured magnetically. On a similar topic, the actual bike racks in the room were total garbage and I'm surprised the thieves cut the locks instead of the super thin metal racks.

In the past I've always tried to keep my bike indoors (also for maintenance reasons) but it's hard to convince one's significant other to keep many bikes in a small London flat!

I counted the broken locks on the ground and it seems they made off with 12 bikes last night!!!

Three days after stealing my Cannondale thieves returned to my building at 2:25am, forced their way into the bike room and stole 5-10 bikes (it's hard to be sure) over a period of 2 hours!

This time they got my wife's hybrid bike -- if you see a coral Specialized Sirrus 2.0 like the one attached for sale please let me know.

(A reminder to get insurance if you can't afford to lose your bike -- I always thought of this bike storage room as being quite safe and thick kryptonite locks as taking too long to cut for the average thief, but I was wrong!)

My Cannondale CAAD7 Team Saeco was stolen last night at 02:45 in W9. I got it nine years ago on here. It was stolen from an underground car park, locked up with the super thick Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit U-Lock, I guess they sliced through it with an electric cutter.

It was built with SRAM Red 10 speed (black edition) and had some cheapo Shimano wheels. It's a pretty distinctive and rare frame so please let me know if you see it somewhere!

(turns out I haven't taken many photos of it recently so here it is in the middle of getting a flat fixed with the latest wheels.)

Thanks! As I'm kinda far (W9) I might just end up buying one of these as I'm going to need one sooner or later anyway. I'll PM if I change my mind. Thanks again.

West, near Paddington. It would be ace if nearby. Otherwise I'll just buy one.

Thanks. I tried this with every cable I had and in both connectors on the display but nothing appeared. Guess this points to the battery being dead (low on juice or literally just dead), or I guess the display being broken, right? I suppose I'd put my money on the former.

Sorry I didn't make it clear that the set I bought didn't actually come with a charger. I guess I should get one anyway as I'll need one sooner or later... I guess I just wanted to know if this thing was hosed or not before spending even more money on it!

I got an 8spd Alfine Di2 groupset on eBay and it seems to have everything I need. I set it up like this:

ST-S705 shifter → SC-S705 display/junction box → SM-JC41 (I think) internal junction box → SM-BTR2 seat post battery & Alfine Di2 hub (not sure what part number exactly)

But when everything is connected (and I've ensured there's a solid click when I push these cables into each component) it's completely unresponsive, nothing lights up in the SC-S705 display and it doesn't shift. It could just be a dead battery and I asked to borrow one of these to try out this theory but I'm worried if the problem is elsewhere it'll have been a waste of everyone's time.

Any suggestions as to next steps before I just take it to a shop with all the right equipment so I can pay them to point the finger at the culprit? Also suggestions for a Di2-enabled shop? Thanks!

No-one?

Somewhat relatedly: anyone in London got one of these chargers I could borrow for like an hour to see if this Di2 set I bought on eBay just has a dead battery or is actually hosed?
