JOB DONE!

Let's do that - the bike was a bit of a bargain indeed, it'll be a shame to lose out! I'll check the HH progress online and I'll be back there as soon as it reopens.

Ive got these going for grabs..

http://www.lfgss.com/thread69769.html

Great deal - go for it - I've got a wheelset from Varno and it's bulletproof!

Very very tempting... I could move out of my girlfriend's flat and move in with you THEN I would have money to take her out!

Good beater bike if you are a giant - Raleigh 60cm - BIN £70

I'll take it for £10?

I can do £SOLD with my reverse brake levers here:
http://www.lfgss.com/thread69403.html

£10 is ridiculously cheap, you would not even get a new set of chainring nuts and crankbolts for that!

Thanks for looking guys.

I can split chainring / arms if that's any better for you - this is still available

For sale, brand new Planet X Pro Carbon Track Limited Edition bike, size Medium (56x56).

Sitting at 5ft10, the bike is a tad too big for me and I really could do with a Small (54x54). This would fit someone 6ft to 6ft2 I would say.

It was one of their showroom bikes so no exchange possible, latest frame & fork with new logo (which retails at £499 for the frame and £99 for the forks, that's £598 already), red in colour.

I've received the bike at work 10 days ago, i've only tried it for size - it has not seen the track (Herne Hill is still getting resurfaced anyway) or even daylight since it is stored in the basement.

This exact spec would cost you £949 and was reduced to £749 in the sale so ideally i'd like to get my money back but I am open to offers. All Planet X red frames S, M, L are currently sold out so here is a chance to grab one.

Don't be shy, get in touch - the bike is located at Chancery Lane so you can come and have a look.

Here are some pics of the actual bike:

I've got a brand new LHS Promax brake lever, silver polished, for 23.8mm bars that came off my Charge Plug Racer.

Got back in touch with them and no return on this one since it was an ex display bike.
They still have a couple for sale here:
http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/c/q/ex-display-bikes/ex-display-time-trial-and-track-bikes

I am about the same height (5.10) and have a 56, the 56 used to be called large.

Anyway you have the correct size.

Maybe you need to adjust the seat forward, bars and spacers, or a shorter stem?

Are the pictures of your own bike?

These are pictures of the actual bike - spanking new Planet X Track Limited Edition - the bike is definitively a tad too big and I would feel more comfortable on a small one (54x54).
I'll put an ad on the track bits for sale then into the main classified forum - not sure how much to ask for it since this exact spec sells for about £1K.
I'll think of a price shortly and get that sorted asap!

Swapped - Good meeting you Gav!

I can always deliver to London Zone 1-2 if it is any easier

Sold!

Chain wise, go for that, I've been running them for thousands of miles, great value at £3.49 with free postage. Buy a couple so you have a spares when you cut it too short ;-)

Bought for a project that didn't happen, so up for grabs at the price I paid for them - £SOLD that is. If you think it's too much, we can always negotiate!

Dia Compe 188 Reverse Aero 'Time Trial' brake, left & right levers, will look nice on bullhorns / chop&flopped bars. Dated 1993, good overall condition. Black levers. External cable routing. Fits 19mm ish internal diameter.

For pick up on Chancery Lane, but can meet centrally.

I can pick up and post for gavb!

Still up for grabs for your weekend build!
Come and pick it up today from Chancery Lane!

I'd like to swap my silver Tektro R538 long drop (47-57mm) brake calipers for equivalent quality ones.

These are from my Charge Plug Racer which I have purchased 2 months ago. I have only used the front one, which is in excellent condition. The rear one is brand new unsused.
The 'drop' is too important and doesn't line up with my rims (even at their highest setting, i'm still 5-10mm short) so I really need standard ones. These brakes are ideal for touring bikes/wider tyres (28-35mm).

Realistically, I'm never going to use a rear brake so I could swap the brakeset for a better single front caliper like a good used Ultegra or Dura-Ace. I only run 'thin' tyres, 23mm or less.

Here are some links for additional details/pictures/reviews:

http://road.cc/content/review/13794-tektro-r538-long-drop-brakes

Dual pivot caliper brake with forged aluminium arms.
• New quick release designed for big tyres.
• Dimension - 47 to 57mm
• Standard finish - High Polished Silver or Black Anodized
• Weight - 158 grams / wheel

Get in touch if you have something!

Thanks for that PhilHub, I'll wait until the weather clears and I'll hit the road to tweat the set up before HH reopens!

For sale,

My old Lasco singlespeed chainset taken off my 2010 Giant Bowery '72 - travelled around 3500 miles so it is definitively not new.

Polished 175mm (yes 175mm) arms, 48T 130BCD chainring with loads of life left, right hand arm with *slight *rounding due to becoming loose on my way to work last year, was tighten back afterwards and never happened again.

Complete with 2 crank fixing bolts, ready to fit a bottom bracket with JIS square taper!

Still retailing for £35 on Velosolo so £SOLD sounds like a fair price to get your old beater running again or even if you are after the crank fixing bolts or the 48T chainring or the chainring nuts.

I'm on Chancery Lane so you can pick up during working hours or I can drop off after work on mt way to Brixton.

Voila, don't be shy, get in touch!
