My brother told me he wanted some fingerless cycling gloves for Christmas, can anyone reccomend a pair that are a decent quality and a decent price (no more than £40 really).
Probably not worth a thread but I thought others might be looking for similar advice for family and friends who are cyclists.

Dibs airwings please if you'll post.

Instant undibs, sorry to be a nob! I was looking for a cheap/easy SS conversion frame for my brother, but the vertical dropouts mean it'll probably be more effort than he's worth!

Dibs, just about to finish my break at work, but I'll PM you in a bit.

Looking for something like the nitto RB021, with that drop from the clamp area and a longish 'horn' (?) Ideally around the 26mm clamp size mark.

In the unlined event that you have any left after Christmas I might have to get one, they look ace!

Sucks about your bike getting nicked. All I can offer really are some drop bars which have been (pretty badly) cut down to bullhorns. Let me known if that'd be helpful! You can have them for a few quid towards postage (or free in the unlikely event you can collect from Bournemouth...) I'll have a root around and see if i've got anything else knocking about in a bit.

And I'll take the negative sleeves as well if that's the case.

3rd dibs on film, I'll take the lot if the other 2 drop out!

Have you seen the pre cursa's on eBay? Can get a new frame in various sizes for £99,get a set of cheapo carbon forks and bob's your uncle! Don't know if that's helpful at all.

I might have a pair of pedals and straps you can have for free if that would be helpful? PM me if you're interested.

Just finished converting my old kona fire mountain to singlespeed to use as a winter beater. It's been hanging up in a cupboard at home for the last 5 years so figured I might as well use it. I've owned it from new, got it for my 14th birthday back in 1990. Just used cheap shitty parts to do it. Maybe one day i'll go all retrobike on it and restore it to how it was originally.

This looks so much fun, i've always had a soft spot for konas. I was thinking about trying something like this myself in the new year. Is it the original rear wheel you're using or something specifically single speed?

The visps look alright, but I think I'd probably prefer to get a Dolan pre cursa and a set of second hand carbon forks for only a few quid more.

Good call actually. My maximum bid has just dripped to about £25.

^^ I'd convert it to fixed for him I reckon and get some less god awful bars on it. I think £50 would be the absolute most I'd consider paying but I wouldn't really want to go that high, especially having to travel to Exeter...

What would people reckon that thing's actually worth? I think I might put a bid in on ebay.

I love that last one! I've been thinking about getting my brother a ratty bike like that for Christmas, he rides his £2000 roadie to uni.... It's in his size too!

Could you post a link to which one it is please? Or PM me if you'd prefer.

Yeah, I was sort of tossing up whether to get a new one or not, I was going to see whether or not I could get more for my money second hand.

I'm looking for a cheap cycle computer, I'd need the magnet and wires etc as well. Let me know if you've got anything! Also would need to be posted to Bournemouth (which I'd pay for obviously)

How abooout

This seems like a really good way to get a head tube to the throat.

I've had a look and there doesn't seem to be too much info about computers on here. I was looking to buy a cycle computer and I can't spend much money at all. What would people recommend? I had a cateye velo 5 for about a week before I pushed a button in too far and it never came back.... That seemed ok, and is less than a tenner. Any other ideas? (also, if my poor searching ability has led to me missing a similar thread could someone point me in the right direction)

Bumping! Still stuff left.

still lots of stuff left!

sorry butters, but tommya has offered to buy the whole set, it's much easier for me to sell it to him than it is to split!
