Especially if he was riding illegally with one brake. Yesterday was particularly shambolic on hackney road, there was a prius minicab causing all sorts of havoc.

Saw a nice chap on a lovely purple bob jackson all along the euston road and pentonville, i was on the white dolan.

Samson this morning on Harrow Rd. Nice to see a familiar face on my commute.

Yeah good to see you mate, you make it in on time?

Saibot this morning going under the railway by westminster bridge-was going to give chase but got caught by every red going.

Prendas! http://www.prendas.co.uk/details.asp?typ=typ&fkid=6&ID=595

I got high five too! Great ride, good to meet you all.

I have some Planet X Frogs Bollox in good condition for £20.

My front DT RR1.1 is fucked so would like a replacement or, failing that, an Open Pro. Anyone got anything lying around?

Cheers.

+2 Have them on my Pompino.

Bump, prices dropped! No word from sacredheart so saddlebag still available!

Definitely a compatible lockring - it was the original supplied with his OTP. The lockring can't have been loose because the cog wasn't slipping when he resisted the pedals - it happened suddenly.

Dibs! Will PM when I get home..

Updated with dibs etc. Loads still available!

sacredheart, let me know about saddlebag..

Been riding this for a couple of weeks but it deserves better pedals than crusty old Sylvan's so they've been donated to my Pompino and will be replaced by something lovely tomorrow.

The angle of the brake lever with the swept-back bars means the cable sticks out at a funny forward angle and pulls the brake noodle forward. Looks really tight in the picture but it's not. Looks weird, works perfect!

The other day my friend asked me to come over and take a look at his back wheel because it locked up suddenly and he fell off his bike.

Both the cog and lockring had unscrewed but there is no damage to any threads on the hub, cog or lockring. He says he didn't feel the cog slipping or anything out of the ordinary until the back wheel suddenly locked up. I put everything back together and replaced the lockring with a sturdier one but I'm at a total loss to work out how this happened, any ideas?

Option 2. You seen Planet X? Good Campag deals!

I have a similar inside leg (30") and actually ride 170, although my new bike will have 165. Don't really see why either would be a problem, you're not exactly freakish. Some people seem to notice a massive difference, some none, but 165 sounds about right to me. You could always try something cheap second hand before you splash out.

Are there any decent external bearing options apart from the Omniums? Any good reason not to use a road crank?

Has anybody fitted full guards to a Pompino? I'm looking for some guards for mine but not sure what to get. I'd rather not use raceblades if I can fit full guards but the pompino doesn't have a rear bridge to secure a rear guard to.

I have full SKS on mine - the rear wishbone thing has a threaded hole on the bottom between the stays, I just bent the bracket but you could also drill the guard and screw it directly.
