i'll take these if still available?

2nd dibs on rack only if it becomes available

tempted to tweet this to all the local bus companies around my neck of the woods...

stopped this morning to check that a horse wasn't dead (it was asleep)

also, stopped to take photo's yesterday as the light was pretty amazing, and was late for work.

now sold

sale has fallen through on this so back on the market.
also added a geo chart

they do look quite a costly option - the equilibrium disc 20 is now £2k and has 105 5800 and those ugly bulbous rs505 shifters.

just plugging my croix de fer as i've finally decided i probably deffinitely shouldn't keep it, so done a proper ad and photo's etc.

bought this for my wife but she prefers her current bike - i'm tempted to keep it for myself but don't really need it and it's a bit on the small side for me really.
would make a perfect adventure/gravel/bikebacking/commute/etc...

located in loughborough LE11 for test rides etc.

yeah, i guess they were on about heating the frame, hence ruining the paint. it's a no-go anyway.
good luck with the caustic, keep us 'posted' #dadjokes

nice! what ratio caustic / water did you use?
i take it you bunged up the inside of the tube somehow?
the fabricator i spoke to about removing my post said they'd heat the tube to get it out, thus wrecking the paint, so going to see if any other local companies can do it on a lathe...

sounds almost exactly the same as mine!
be sure to wear gloves / goggles / take pics!
i've emailed a local metalworkers this morning to see if they are willing to lathe mine out.

i think the only way to avoid fucking the paint when using caustic would be to have a constant cold water stream on the outside of the frame while the caustic ate away at the post from the inside...

i'm having real problems chopping a thomson post out at the moment.
it's about 20cm into the frame... i'm working away with a saw but it's really difficult to get a uniform cut all the way down the length of the post.
i'd deffo go the caustic route if i wasn't bothered about the paint. i might try for a local metalworkers and see if they can ream the fucker out for me.

looks like the bashguard is what it rests on when it's folded? so probably useful / essentialish

I've modded an automatix hub before, it's dead easy and makes them much more useable.

if the paints coming off anyway you're probably best off going the chemical route on the seatpost. chopping them out is a ballache, especially if there's a lot of post in the frame.

hot. subbed.

this label are putting out some quite nice stuff... http://grade10.uk/

this is mega! thanks for the tip!
(do people still say mega??)

looks half decent - i've always had a problem with the name though. sounds like a name for a great aunt rather than a bike company.

no worries, i'll take some pics and do a proper for sale ad later.

the smallest according to the geo chart is 50cm.
based in loughborough, nr leicester...guessing you're in london?
send me a PM if you like?

yep, all stock I think.
tiagra 10sp, trp Hy/rd brakes.

any interest in a genesis croix de fer 20?
bought for my mrs but it's slightly too big, and she prefers her current bike...
2015 model with the steel fork, 52cm frame in reynolds 725
