Had this little collection to break up an otherwise tedious train journey a week or so back.

Popped a few Greggs mince pies in the hamper too - worked well together.

Stumbled across these old fellas while visiting Alp d'Huez last July for the Tour de France. No sign of any owners/riders, so couldn't find any info, sorry.

If you don't mind sacrificing the stem, then you could cut the top section off with a hacksaw, leaving a column inside the steerer, with the remains of the expander bolt. Tap the remains of the bolt downwards to free the expander wedge, then get a stillson on the remains of the stem to twist it free.

I'd try drilling out the bolt first though, as you may be able to save the stem and only need a new expander bolt.

Bought a 6-pack of Morrisons shortcrust mince pies last night. :(
Still got 5 left in the pack.

I ated the box from Co-op. Nothing special. Haz pissed cream now so the next batch will be proper artery hardeners.

Try the pies instead.

Good pub you've chosen there, guys.
I was well impressed with the range of shant available.

Ah, so twas you I was chatting with in East beers last night. Good to meet you apollo - lovely bike.

On the bus now. Should be there just after 9.

Just tried my first Greggs mince pie on recommendation of the forum - well impressed and can't see the other 5 staying in the bag for long.

What's this pizza event that people speak of?

Straw?

I'm in London again tonight. Will try to make it across if I get away from here early enough.

Like this, will start saving now ... any idea of the tubing? butted?

Don't know. There's some spec here, but no tubing detail, sorry:

http://www.evanscycles.com/products/gary-fisher/triton-2011-single-speed-road-bike-ec023862#features

Standover height from floor to top of top tube is 817mm

I'm a few mm over 6' (sorry for mixed scales!) with slightly longer than average legs for my height. The bike is set up for my riding position.

Seat tube is exactly 60cm centre - top.

Bottom bracket isn't overly high, so standover clearance is lower than it would be for a similar sized, full-on, tarkc beic. I can measure standover tonight, if that helps.

I'm in London Wednesday night, so can bring this with me, if anyone wants it?

Immaculate, hardly used Trek Triton 2011 bike.

The frame size is stated as 57cm, but this is actually the top tube c-c dimension. The seat tube c-t measures 60cm.

Cr-mo frame & fork. Eyes for rear rack on the dropouts and seat stays. 2 sets of bottle cage bosses and discreet braze-on bosses on the underside of the top tube for the rear brake cable.

Rear wheel has a flip-flop hub with a 20t freewheel and 18t fixed sprocket. Bontrager Race lite 700x23 tyres - like new. ** Edit: Now has a brand new pair of Bontrager R1 700x23 tyres.

Truvativ 48t chainset.

Promax brake calipers.

Bontrager finishing kit.

Very nice & comfortable steel framed fixed-wheel/single speed bike.

Has to go, as apparently, I have too many bikes. :(

Looking for £300. Price drop to £295

a-c?

Nothing to do with gynaecology measurements.

axle - crown.

If you're considering a fork swap, then a carbon fork with mudguard mounts and disc caliper mounts would work well in the Trek Triton Gary Fisher, ticking all boxes and giving a great winter/wet weather set-up.

My Trek Triton Gary Fisher CrMo fixed/SS thingy has all the above requirements EXCEPT front mudguard eyes. In fairness, the rear eyes are for a pannier rack, but could be used for mudguards.
Nice bike - my only 'live' steel bike.

Great story there, Skinny. Took me back to the summer of '95 when I drove down virtually the same route in a campervan with a couple of mates. We had a cracking time and you sparked up a few great memories of that trip.

Hope the knee's on the mend. Will you be going back next summer to do the rest of it?
