ill take the SAKAE Custom Road Champion randonneur drops if still available!

They are indeed still available - drop me a PM

Does anyone have an A head stem to sell? 25.4mm clamp size, no degree rise if poss and fairly long around 100mm?

I've got a couple of stems going here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread80589.html#post2724384

Cheapo one has a rise, not sure how much though. BLB one has a 6 degree rise/drop, which ain't too severe...

Just under 25mm according to my tape measure. Let me know if you're still interested...

Looking for a right one actually so all good. Can you confirm the clamp size please? if it fits my bars, I'll defo take it.

Sure, I'll have a peek tonight and see...

I think it's achievable with a magic gear and half link chain, depending on how hard/ often you ride you might need to change the chain every 6 months or so due to stretch.

Was having a little chat with Andy at lunch about whether this might be possible - do you have any measurements/photos you could share in terms of spacing etc.?

Pics would be nice as well, just to get a feel for the thing... :)

dibs Brand new finger brake - £5

Is it a right or left hand ?

It's for use on the right, although you could flip it if you really wanted - it's not too ugly underneath ;)

For sale a Gazelle Vuelta frame and forks 56/54. Perfect beater f+f, quite a few cosmetic chips and marks but nothing structurally wrong with it apart from the head-tube has ovalised. I unknowingly purchased it like this but I've had no bother riding it since. Some super strength glue should sort this out. I will include seat-post, UN54 bb and Campag Veloce headset with it. £35

Initially purchased from here:
http://www.lfgss.com/thread46985.html

Also have Kinesis Racelight RC2 Frame. 56/57cm TT ( I think) Red in colour with carbon seat stays. Great frame and very light but sadly to big for me. Included is 10 spd shimano chain. £50

How easy would the Racelight be to set up fixed? I've not built a bike with vertical dropouts before and don't want to get stuck with a frame I can't do owt with... :)

So, just as I finished uploading all the pics, makes and models, the original post goes walkabout. Brilliant.

Anyway, here we go again...

Will post on request but may need help on pricing the packages...

Provisional dibs on the mudguards/fenders until pictures and if you post.

Think they might be SKS (possibly Blumels), based on a quick Google search. Good knick too. Will grab a picture tonight to be sure.

Would be happy to post. Guess they're pretty light, even packaged so probably c.£5 - will see whether I can work it out online and let you know.

Will do so tonight if I can get enough light.

On postage I'll see what interest there is, but you're right - I even have some cardboard I can make pseudo-packaging from...

Cheers

OK OK.

Never posted much in the way of parts before so no real idea there other than taking it down to the post office - anyone with more experience that wants to help me out, would be handy.

Thanks though. ;)

.

Just throwing my interest into the ring as a second to Pandah - can you let me know if that doesn't come off? Thanks!

Well, obviously...

You know what I mean. It takes a while to learn that the toolkit you already had isn't shit and that you already had the obscure tool for the thing that someone abbreviated the name of the brand that built the thing that you didn't know what it was called anyway does to the other thing that's attached to the bit that OH WHO GIVES A FUCK I FIXED IT ON MY OWN...

Really like that picture as a piece of design though; wonder if I can get a posted somewhere to throw up in me bike shed...

I am really a very good (hobby) bicycle mechanic, but I don't know the names for almost anything I can do to/with a bike.

Leads to lots of 'oh you mean tightening the thingy with the other thingy' conversations with fellow bicycle nerds.

I've got to pay one and send in my licence to get points, but will be out of the country and need my licence in case the bike breaks down in the middle of nowhere and I need to hire a car. I get back on the day after I have to get my licence to them.

Does anyone know if they're likely to give any wiggle room on this, or where I could phone? The police don't have any phone numbers other than 999 - it's one of the ways they keep crime figures manageable, I suppose.

Why not pay it, but neglect to send in your licence and then claim you forgot that part? They'll then send you a letter asking for your licence as well, which you'll not receive until you get back. You then call them the day you're back and say 'OMG OHNOES I DIDN'T SEE THAT PART, SOOOO SORRY, I'VE BEEN ABROAD UNTIL TODAY SO I DIDN'T GET YOUR LETTER UNTIL NOW...', then send it off that day. They can't penalise you further for paying your fine on time ;). The paper trail can be your get-out clause 'obviously I wasn't trying to do anything untoward by missing the deadline - I paid the fine after all! etc etc.'...

Aye, could be - whereabouts is the bike based? (collection vs. posting) and what sort of price?

Not definitely looking (pretty sure we all, always, are) but it's about my size and sounds nice...

Cheers

Just thought I'd revive this to add: Loads. All the time. (Me included).

That looks a lovely frame, sadly too small for me. :(

Yeah, I guess so, although 'like for like replacement' via the site seems to make sense. I guess the best approach would be to build a bike and keep all the receipts for proof of cost in case something goes awry...

Just spotted this story: http://www.fastcoexist.com/1678935/spinlister-peer-to-peer-bike-sharing-gets-rolling about a new service, currently rolling out in the US, which allows people to rent their bikes out on a peer-to-peer basis, including protection from theft and damage, similar to buyer-protection via Paypal.

An interesting concept, certainly, and with variable price-points, you can justify renting out a beater or your favourite bike. I, for one, would be happy to lend bikes out, given the protection. Price a decent ride at £20 a day in Cambridge and you could get all sorts of hipster tourists paying your bills, surely? You could probably even build something up (as if we need another excuse) just for rentals - you could be making a profit pretty quickly, especially in Cambridge where the bike is a way of life...

What do you guys reckon? Would you lend your pride and joy out to a stranger?

Anyone interested in any of the following? Got a few bits to sell... (Pics on request for anything you're interested in, can't be arsed to take them all!)

Possibly have a few more things floating around, which I'll post as and when...

Some things are new, some less so and some are old. Open to offers on most things!

Also open to trades, I could currently do with a pair of skinny drop bars and a c.46-48T chainring, maybe some single ring bolts too, one of my current sets are on their way out...

Cool, you're like 15 seconds from me, so could pop round any time. ;)

Shall drop you a PM about maybe tomorrow...

I, too, am at the end of Mill Road. The bottom end, that is. Whereabouts are you - seeing as it's on the way I could swing by on the way home in about 20?

Looks alright - whereabouts are you based? Might need to wait until payday to come view?

Looks like there's a BB in there, but if you have the/a crankset to suit, would be handy... Also, got any/the forks?

Might be a bit incomplete for my needs is all I'm thinking...
