Here's a set of films we made about them too, which explains how they work: http://www.think-work-play.com/the-union-cycle-works/

My friends run a very simialir set-up in Deptford called unioncycleworks.org.uk

Speak to them about how they work. They focus on training people from disadvantaged backgrounds, but also do open workshop space and just help and advise people on bikes. (plus their logo is cool)

want.

what size is the seat post?

Cheers, Vibez. Good meeting you.

Here's a picture, should say I'm in SE15

I've got a Selle Itallia Nitrox you can have for £6. It's pretty tired but it's comfy.

It's black with yellow cloth on both back parts. This yellow cloth is the worn part, not ripped but tired. I'm trying to upload a photo but doesn't seem to happen. Let me know if your interested

I've got a chain you can have for a couple of quid if your anywhere near Camberwell/peckham. Just bog standard chain in decent condition.

Anyone? Could pick up any time over the weekend.

Ha, cheers plinth.

You were posting an SS for sale thread at the same time as I was posting a wanted. I'll hold out an see if there are any shinny ones for now. Looks nice with the chrome forks/seat stays.

Looking for a rear wheel to put on my new build. Had it together for about 48 hours before I snapped the axel on the tired old steel wheel.

I'm trying to keep the total cost of the bike down so relatively cheap. Ideally to match as closely as possible with the front which is a mavic ma 40 34 spoke rim on a shimano 600 hub. But in reality as long as it's primarily silver I'm interested.

Here's an image of the build for reference: http://flic.kr/p/9PyCh2

arggg, would defo take if one size bigger. Free bump.

Yeah, just what I needed too. I'll stick a dibs in on the off chance they haven't gone. Anyone else with something similarly clean?

have you got a picture?

dibs the chain. PM

Hey Loaf, are you around tomorrow? What are the prices on the cinelli stems. I've just got Champion del Mondo Cinelli bars and need a fit tomorrow if possible, probs 110mm. I'm in SE15.

Leftmebehind, where are you in NW? I'd take the seat pin (I assume you mean seat pin) Is it this one?

http://www.condorcycles.com/Components/8138-Condor-Alloy-Seatpost/flypage.tpl.html

Skilbeck, thanks for the offer, I'll take you up on it if falls through with leftmebehind

Sorry, should have said looking for silver. Bike is all chrome and bronze.

Cheers leftmebehind and extra could be interested in either or both, price depending. Let me know what your thinking for them.

Anyone got a 27.2 seat post for my new bike? Also looking for some drops. I'm SE so if it's around here then great.

Whats happening with these wheels? Have you got any details of what they are? Hubs, rims etc

http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/vintage-mens-racing-bike-bianchi-61cm-columbus-tubesfork/80278547

Good deal on a bianchi. Just needs new stem and pin to look nearly as nice as the one in the window of look mum no hands.
