A quick question - hope you don't mind. Are there courses aimed specifically at school years-7-9? Perhaps cycle road training mixed in with some mtb-handling skills? A positive alternative for those kids who watch their elders pulling extravagant wheelies on the wrong side of the road. I'm a suburban-school-governor and students' risky cycling often crops up this term. Thanks.

Quick plug for my Orbit family tandem, which is plummeting down the sales thread, if anyone's in the market. Sure it could be set up for tt-ing.

Price drop to £380. Sale also includes Hebie twin-leg kickstand, plus pin spanner for wrangling the eccentric-BB.

Adult stoker saddle/2-stage seat post.

Front 47-406 Marathon. Rear 54-406 Crazy bob.

Zodiac.

Some images.

Offering this here because:
1; It's got track ends, and
2; It might keep one of you rolling through the dark days of parenthood.

Zodiac is 206cm long, has Sachs P5-Cargo gears and needs a new home. Stoker gets Highpath Pulse crank shorteners (just noticed Highpath have moved to Tring), Captain gets Stronglight St-1000 cranks. Newish chainrings and new sprocket. New Odyssey Hazard Lite front rim (colour mismatch, sorry). Two sets of Stoker saddle/post combos.
Come to Borehamwood for tea&testride. I can then deliver local-ish. Zodiac fits inside a car, compact.

£400, now £380, now £360, now sold.
Photos coming.

Checked manufacture date on helmet; June96-(Giro Helios). Inner crumbling. Note to other lurking fogies, >Jan Sales.

An Orbit Zodiac. Fab.
Not much folding; two-stage seat posts, plus a folding stem to reduce storage space (Circe or Bernds do modern equivalents). My stokers started in Reception. It's lower at the back than a Thorn childback.

Youngest stoker now at senior school. Mrs int'wood climbed off after barely 100 metres. Bit sad. It has kept me pedalling through ~10 years of school runs. I suppose this is a preamble to selling it.

Puch Cavalier. 98-Birdy. Speed Ross. Orbit Zodiac. Batavus Comp. Tange Prestige mtb.

That's really kind, though I'm apprehensive of showing up to London Fields without a front light with a beam. About as disorganised as could be. How would I identify you at the start among the crowds?

Last-minute lights? Does anyone know a physical-shop, with a door you can walk through, to buy a set of Cree lights? I've woken up with the urge to finally do DD.

OK, withdrawn from here. I'll post it over on Velovision's forum (if still active).
Clearly, you're all far younger than I thought (which is as it should be). Bye.

For sale: Islabike Beinn20-Large. Charcoal, good condition, works perfectly.
£120. Now withdrawn.
Six-gears, mudguards and new front brake cable (inner and outer).
Rear brake cable is a touch spongy, grips not perfect and it is still on the original Kenda tyres.
Was bought new November 2007. The paint is good, though top tube is less shiny, where shoes have scuffed the cable against it. Plus the odd place where I have clumsily touched up (dolloped) some paint.

Dibs, followed by visit to Borehamwood (zone 6), cup of tea, bike.
£300 for a new one counts as a crime against childhood.
Would consider part-swap for nice, small framed MTB for #1-son.

I'm undouble-dibbing. Someone else will grab the gold. Thanks though. It's 540 wheel size btw.

Double dibs.

Double post, so double dibs.
Sending a pm question now.

Yes, pm-ing now.
I'm opening a refuge for frames afflicted with naff paint jobs.
Looks about perfect for my commute.

2nd dibs, if Townshend doesn't want it. Mind, that triple chainset is an admission of weakness . . .

Well, I do need a new bike and purple, gold and tricolour fades aren't essential to me (though nice to gawp at). I'm sure to bid on one soon, but the Summer holiday cash flow is making me dither.

This one's a six-speed rear, OLN at rear?
Thanks, bump.

I've lurked for yonkers but never posted, so still in nursery. Do black bikes not sell?
