Oh and dem Saaf London alps - 42x16? I had to get out of the saddle like a roadie up a hill near (in?) Honor Oak a couple of weeks back when visiting family. Is there much like that?

I'm planning to travel down from Cambridge with a couple of others for this. We provincial types struggle with trains home for the late night forum rides, this is mo manageable. Hope to see a good turn out.

Worth an ask. There was half a chance you were giving them away. :) Do you still have the [mavic?] front wheel from a few weeks back?

Boooo black. Was hoping shiny.

Confoozed on the tyres. What do I get for £20? The lot? If so dibs.

Pic / more detail of Pro Lite wheel, please.

Thinking a few years ahead, once you've made tons of bunce and retire to Spain you should open a pub called

The Sunburnt Arms

Yay for stage 3. I know the route isn't confirmed but the best way out of Cambridge towards London goes by my front door. Any recommendations on cowbells and road paint?

It's got TT bars so I reckon someone was doing sub hour 25s on it back then. Not me though. Maybe if I got a rear disc...

I'm going to keep trying these until I get someone :

Blue fixie with white rims and tyres and shiny bullhorns today on Shelford High Street.

So...

I read the first few pages of this thread and got the feeling that hippy was the one to watch.

Skipped to the end and he doesn't even feature in the times.

Disappointing.

31.8 or 26 clamp? I can't tell.

Nuts. 2nd dibs. It's even the right effing colour.

Could you be arsed to post them superfly Scott bars?

Today about 3pm by Trumpington Waitrose, a bloke who was plenty old enough to know better, fixed with untaped drops and pink rims...

Dibs that lever so long as the clamp isn't for big fat bars.

Lush indeed.

£250 is basically free when you consider what Raleigh want for this : http://www.raleigh.co.uk/ProductType/ProductRange/Product/Default.aspx?pc=1&pt=14&pg=8447

Persevere. Unless you have back problems you'll probably get used to it quite quickly. When I first got a drop bar road bike I thought 4cm of drop was right, now I'm basically Marco Pantani that now feels stupidly upright. For max aerotuck 8cm isn't really enough.

Try an adjustable stem. It'll look a bit cack but you can play with the height and see if you can get it right for you and if you do get used to head down position you won't have spent too much. Here's one for a starter http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=39262

If you don't care too much about it being high end branded then Jelly Belly Vintage in Leeds have loads in for very little money. Like £3 odd for some.

this is an earlier model - the grub screws started burrowing in the late 80s.

Good knowledge.

Mine's obviously a late one.

Lovely light things they are too and they work best for Purito sized folk who need dinky frame sizes like this one.

It's got a seat post clamp. I thought all 979s have little grub screws.

Either way £50 is a bit of a steal for playing at Sean Kelly.

Dibs seat post. I was about to buy a new one but thought I'd have a quick look here just in case, so that's worked out nicely.

Usually I am trying to work out whether what I had for breakfast has made me particularly quick today or there's a strong tail wind. Other times I wonder whether I've suddenly got shit at riding a bike or if there's a head wind.

One day I will probably get up early enought to leave early enough to do a 180 endo / skid and ride back the other way for a bit to work it out. Not tomorrow though. Too tired.

42x16 here. But I have pipe cleaner legs and am scared of speeds >25mph. I'll spank you lot away from the lights though.

Just because he was small doesn't mean he wouldn't have ripped your windpipe out. Haven't you seen Roadhouse? To have lived to 35 talking to people like that he's probly a ninja.
