To continue the Sumo spot: There are a number of bikes for sale at the bottom end of London Fields (opposite the cat and mutton). If anyone's lost a black frame / alpina fork based build - set up fixed - then it's there now, along with a few others. Yes, it might belong to the guy who's selling it (who happens to be there every week, selling bikes on the cheap) but I doubt it.

Purchased from Hilary Stone a while back for a project that I never got round to starting, much less finishing. The original description is here:
ALLIN FIXED WHEEL ROAD FRAME 1980
Seat Tube (ctt): 52cm (20.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 53cm (21in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 50mm)
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mmThis Allin frame is really rather unusual - it was built as a fixed gear road frame with forward facing dropouts hence the lack of a gear hanger on the Campag rear dropout. It has been beautifully fillet brazed by Peter Cobb, Allin’s framebuilder - he obviously knew one of the weaknesses of fillet brazed frames and added a very neat reinforcing collar around the top of the seat tube.
This isn't quite correct - I think the spacing was 110mm rear at one point, but has been used 120mm (not by me) and so it's around 115mm but will space out to 120mm.
It cost me £95 so I'd like to get my money back but failing that, hopefully someone can give it a good home. It's a lovely frame.
Apologies for slightly less than great photos.

Kev83: I reported Black Cab reg 'D4 YCE' (yep, got to be a prick, right) to the TFL complaints thing the other day, yet to receive a response. Does anyone know where the best place to complain about cabs is (if not TFL)? In fairness, he did teach me 'that's a bus lane not a cycle lane, so you get over', which would have been helpful if a) I wasn't moving past someone and b) I'd been quick enough to say, 'it's bus lane not a taxi lane so you get over' in response.

Cargo bike below is for sale. The back wheel has changed since the outdoor photo, there's an (I think velocity) laced to a fixed-fixed On One track hub on there now (new 18tooth Condor cog). This bike's a lot of fun but I ride it rarely and I need to make room for some other stuff. Useful for beer portaging in the summer. It should be noted that there's a kink at the top of the forks but I've ridden it without problems for a couple of years.
I'd like £90 for the whole thing ridden away, or if someone wants the frame / parts and someone else the back wheel (plus free, beater, front wheel) I'll split it £50 for the frame and £40 for the back wheel and front wheel.
