Dibs Cinelli bars pending question. What clamp size are they?

I always miss the freecycle on here. 4th dibs, as my bars are creaking like fuck and I'm terrified they're going to literally snap in half on a hill and provide me with a nice new neck piercing.
If only for that reason, I should be bumped up the dibs list.

It's the helmet/no helmet argument ad infinitum. I don't think wearing a helmet makes a difference if you're a dick on a mountain bike RLJing, undertaking me at lights and passing indicating buses.

They're about to discuss 'how to cycle and not get killed'. Should be interesting.

Hey, my girlfriend and I are debating moving to Friendly Street (bottom end) in Lewisham, and although the house is AMAZING, it's opposite the ship housing estate which looks dodgy as fuck.
We lived in Leeds for a long time so I'm used to living in rough areas but I think we've been spoilt by living in Forest Hill for a bit, and have forgotten what it's actually like in SE London.
Has anyone ever lived around there? I would really, really like the house (it has a sun room ffs!) but don't want to get mugged every night.
Cheers.

Bump for frame sizes.

Dibs bar tape depending on colour and price!

Oh, ok, I thought the price was good! No worries, undibs for me! I don't know why I didn't see that photo originally, or, it would seem read the original post!
Thanks.

Oh that's lovely. Dibs pending better pic of the crack, I can't see it... Black frame/sunny classroom issue at my end, perhaps!

Dibs wheels please.

Right, pictures here tentatively.

Rattle can and Pro tour both dibsed (pending sizes) everything else, make me an offer (I want rid so will probably take it).

Sorry, yeah, first post has disappeared again! I'll make another one tonight. Chowdown is first dibs on both frames size dependent, then primitive robot, then attacksi (these are just the order I received Pms in).
I'll measure tonight hopefully and get back to you all, sorry for the delay.

I'll get frame sizes this weekend for people that have been asking.

Ongoing shed clearout to fund new road build. If you have any of the following I'd be happy to trade
Shimano 600 braze on shifters, crankset, front mech.

Old thread, all prices have been dropped.

Raleigh 50s step through frame, has slight bend (I think..) in seat tube which looks like it's from a collision but the original forks are fine. BROWN. £15

White **57cm Top Tube, 59cm Seat Tube **rattle can road frame.
Paint is pretty terrible condition as it's a home rattle can job, but would make a very beaten beater, or strip it. It's pretty light and nice to ride.
It used to be a Falcon, then was restored by the Edinburgh Bicycle people so was a naaaasty colour/had terrible decals, hence the respray.
£25

Girl's smallish frame, pink and white.** CT 53cm ST 50cm** Has 'Focus Bicycles UK' on the badge but made by the luminairies at Honda in Indonesia, according to a sticker on the bottom £15

---

Bits and bobs.
Raleigh 48T 'Heron' cottered crankset with pedals. Lovely, lovely, but heavy, heavy, obviously. You can have the cottered axle as well. £5

Front 26" wheel from the above 50s Raleigh. Wide, heavy, bit rusty. One of the tires has a little Inner tube hernia, which is nice. Rear has a 3 speed sturmey (temperamental). Someone can surely find a use for them. Novelty discus? £6 each, £10 the pair

Metallic blue Tektro brake levers** £3**

Unbranded 52T/42T crankset from Rattle can bike above. The chainrings DON'T come apart. £4

Sturmey 4 speed shifter, working as far as I know!** £3**

Collection in Forest Hill/Peckham or on the overground somewhere South East.
Thanks,
Doug

You need to escalate a case via the Resolution Centre, wait until it's agreed that you've not come to an amicable agreement, and then let eBay make a decision. It worked for me.

I tried that, a few times. It went on for ages but they kept siding with him. I ended up speaking to a customer support person on live chat but she was useless and kept 'offering' me the option to return for full refund minus postage.
I just kept hitting a brick wall.
I may have just been unlucky.

I would LOVE to take this off you, I'll have to see how much money I've got left after pay day bills etc. even though I think my girlfriend might take my balls this time.
As I'm too lazy to look and 7 minutes from setting off for home from work, can someone please give me a ball park figure for a restore job? Champagne/Blue obvs..

How does anyone get eBay to side with you on postage? I bought a camera from the US that was sold as working but was OBVIOUSLY broken (had a common fault).
The postage was around £40 with customs charges and the seller offered a full refund if I returned it, minus the postage. The camera itself was only £25 so I didn't see the point.
The seller was totally in the wrong but after countless chats with ebay 'customer support' we just kept coming back to the "well, the ebay rules state that the seller only has to offer a return minus postage" which is, as far as I'm concerned, a bit fucking ridiculous.
It's in the past now, but for future reference, how did you get the prepaid slip from eBay?

Dibs on the drops please! What BCD on the Sakae cranks?

As I say, not sure they were ticketing people or were even PCSOs! They were standing either side of the road at the end of the one way street stopping cyclists though, note, not at the entrance, but the end of the one way section.
They were also a bit perturbed by me stopping and judging by the looks on their faces.
Can PCSOs not ticket? Google offers no help.

Yeah.. I could understand if it was someone being a dick but the guy who got pulled looked genuinely bemused. You can still see the cycle markings on the road ffs.
Has anyone ever been stopped and ticketed for this? Supposed to be a £30 fine, which seems a bit harsh.

I just nearly got stopped by a couple of PCSO's (I think, couldn't see properly so may have been Police) next to the Victoria on Bellenden Road. It's on the one way section that I think (?) used to be cycles only/one way.
I noticed them in the distance so stopped, a guy came past me and they pulled him. I have no idea if they gave him a ticket.
I'm sure they're gone now, but just a heads up in case you take that road to avoid Rye lane at 5pm (the horror), as they'll probably be back.

Have worked on a great many bikes and never seen one like that.. think it's been crashed/bent mate, sorry..

Chainring is lovely though :)

Thanks a lot mate. Might ditch it/fleabay it (you never know).
I know, I love those chainrings. It's SO heavy though.

Yes it is a very good deal

Thanks. You seem to be someone who knows as well!
(Hoping you're not the seller..)

Still good colour and good looks. Indeed a little drill is a perfect option. Did that twice myself.

Champagne with blue panels like this?

That's gorgeous.
