Is it black or white?

Hi, selling my iPhone 4 as I've upgraded to a 5. Couple of cosmetic scratches on the screen but don't affect use and only noticeable in the right(wrong!), light. It'll come with the original box and cables. I've just reset it to the new OS. Can post or arrange rendevous. Looking at them for sale I think £190 seems a fair price. I've also got a new case, new screen protector, and a Speck 'surround' band, all for £10. Or would look to do a deal on an iPad 2.
PM me with any Qs and I can also send a pic if you'd like.
Thanks
Angela

Bike for Sale
Hello, I'm having a custom bike made by Balfe's Bikes so selling my good & looked-after Specialised Sirrus Comp. The size is S and I think it’s the 2011 model. It'll be at Balfe's Bikes in Dulwich and they'll give it a service and guarantee if for 6 months. £450. PM me please with any queries or if you'd like to see pictures.
Thanks

I think £350 is a fairer price, same as above re details.
Thanks
Angela

It's finished, looks lovely:

I'm planning to come for a bit, but probably on public transport as, confession time, scared to leave new bike outside..

Hi, sorry to interrupt with a question, hope you don't mind....

I did have a look to see if you mentioned it anywhere but could not find it, but could you tell me what mudguards are in the photos previous post but one. They look very cool - I think I could use some of those...

Hi, no prob, yes they look nice. They're Raleigh I believe but marketed as SKS. Got them from a very helpful shop in Bolton in the mail:

The build is nearly finished now. Balfe's just need to cut down the bars, and the pedals are on back order. The grips look nice, cork, go well with the Brooks saddle.

Here are the latest pictures:

...going with grey cable...

As a direct result of South beers and the intervention of Mr French Man on Monday, cable for the new Surly CC build is now grey.

Not been before but hope to join you tonight, so Coach & Horses SW4 7EX, after 7. Look forward to meeting fellows.

Sorry I couldn't make it with being out of town, but sounds like I missed a great fuel ride

Here are some photos...

Started the build yesterday, well Balfe’s Bike’s did. We’re at rolling chassis stage…
We’re working with a 52’’ Surly Cross Check Blue frame.
Wheels are Mavic A319 with Shimano Deore Hubs, 700/28, and tyres are Schwalbe Marathon Plus.
I’m reverting to the original flat bar choice as the levers didn’t fit with the silver nitto bullhorns which is a shame.
Headset is planned to be a silver Cane Creek S1.
Stem, Seatpost, and Pedals – silver System EX, came as part of the deal - £350 for the frame with £50 of parts.
I got my bum measured on a gel seat for a Brooks saddle.
Interesting to see the BB fitted - a Shimano.
Discussion around the chainset/cassette so other options ordered for next week.
Front mech is a Tiagra 9 speed and rear mech is a Tiagra 10 speed and gear shifter is a Tiagra 9 speed.
I had chosen silver System EX Alloy Retro Touring Cycle Pedals 9/16 with clips and leather straps but looking now for a smooth silver retro pedal in the same price range.
Will probably go with a Torpec Ultralight rack and have ordered Raleigh RSP raceplate mudguards.
Not sure whether to go for white or yellow cable.
Have tried to post pictures but having problems so will try again.
More next week…

Top tips, thank you. Finalising parts and build planned for Monday. Will post pics.

Doh, my mistake, and sorry didnt get the laugh on email. Anyway looks like it is £350 for the frame but includes £50 of parts - Derek's online. Had the bike fitting to decide frame size - 52 - and going for nitto bullhorns. Can't stretch to Thompson seatpost and stem and Chris King headset but Richard Balfe of Balfe's bikes, who is doing the build, is looking for something nearly as good... Finding it hard to get silver brake levers in my price range too. All suggestions welcome as always.

Happy to hear ideas. I'm getting a 52inch and couldn't find one secondhand, but great if you know of one. Or any help with the parts which I've listed. much appreciated.

yes this is what i meant to say to you've put it in a far more eloquent way. i just wanted to know if the CC frame prices are staying the same for 2013

Price-wise I'm paying about £3.15 I think.

Not yet, but plan to photograph the parts and the stages and post on here, once we get started. Today is fitting day and buying the parts.

Yes picked that frame because I think it's flexible. Glad you like the pedals, thanks. Am hoping the cages and straps fit but no reason why they shouldn't I guess.

That's a good question, and I'm not sure. Any thoughts?

I'm planning on ordering parts on Monday then photographing progress - thanks for the feedback.
