Mint condition rim brake Argon 18 Gallium Pro. 99p and no reserve (although 6 days to go). I have exactly this frame and it's the best I've ever owned (killed mine through chain drop, but had it repaired). Expect this to go fairly cheap due to age/rim/Argon 18 not being that popular. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314810918867

Just watched the highlights. Expected the streets to be very well lit, kind of like the F1 night races, but they absolutely weren't, it was pitch black. Ridiculous.

Really interesting and inspirational thread, makes me want to start training for the next one!
Out of interest, I noticed that one of the posts talks about club support vehicles. Is this something that is seen as acceptable/fitting ion with the spirit of things?

I have messaged them - at a minimum, maybe they can tell me if the catalogue cover story is true...

This seems a bit cheap at £550 for a Factor One https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126062532230
Seller is well rated, but repainted seatstays rings alarm bells.

those edifier speakers specs say “Provided your turntable has an phono EQ / amplifier with an RCA audio output” I can plug in a turntable. Does my old technics 1210 have this?
Need a phono preamp.

+1 on Edifiers.
I bought some new Edifier S1000DB for about £140 as a short-term solution, and was shocked at how good they are for the price. Definitely lacking in some areas, but once on stands and connected to a reasonable phono preamp, they sound decent and are very practical (bluetooth). Look smart for the money as well.

Having to clear out some bits from my mum's as she's sold her house, and something that needs moving on is this unique Mercian.
Not sure how old it is exactly, but I bought it on a whim from ebay a few years ago, and the seller told me it featured on the cover of one of the Mercian catalogues in the 80s (I have no way to verify this). Believe the unique painting was carried out by Mercian themselves. The 531 frameset is in near mint condition, and comes with a variety of unknown Campag parts, unknown chainset, and an Ambrosio/Campag wheelset with new tubs. Believe TT on this in 55cm. I have never actually ridden it but the frameset could possibly be great for modern group upgrade, or just keep it as it is. Unsure how to price this, so lets start at £650 > 520 >480 > 440 collected from Leicestershire (or can discuss postage).
Next is a Peugeot 531C frameset. It's in very good condition, and could be NOS, apart from where a band on has been overtightened a bit. 53 ST/54cm TT, comes with a very good condition Shimano 600 headset. I bought this originally from here for a very good price, so am passing the good deal on (I haven't used it since I bought it either!). £60 > 50 > 45 >40 collected from Leicestershire (or can discuss postage).

Very late to the party, but finally got round to watching Unchained. Can understand if there wasn't much there for diehard followers, but I thought it was an excellent insight into a sport that can be baffling to the outsider. Can definitely see it helping to attract new fans and thought it was pitched at a level where there was something lots for the casual follower. It's hooked my wife for sure, which is great as she's happy to have the Vuelta on now and I may actually stand a chance of going to watch in person next year. Saying that, she does also now want to divorce me to go live with Thibaut and his goats on a farm.

It's always been one one my favourite Klein colourways, but had no need for a 650 TT bike.

Fine line as to which thread this should go in. No drop bars, no HHSRB.

What's the go-to out front Garmin mount? Left mine on a bike I recently sold and so need a replacement
I've found this one the best out of the cheap stem-mounted Amazon jobs. Seems a bit more durable: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08R7S4RQ3
I've had a couple of even cheaper ones that failed and/or cracked when tightened to a suitable level to ensure the bars don't spin when landing some sick (30cm) air. I guess the bar-mounted ones are better, but they look fugly.

Stem/headtube interface on the Systemsix is anxiety-inducing.
I'm sure the stem on the S5 works very well, but it looks horrid. Also, saddle angle...

If you would consider posting, I would be interested. Thanks.

Just discovered this thread - some great stuff. Will spend a few hours looking back and updating the Discogs wantlist! A few FOATs:

Also, debatable if techno, but I guess at the time genres were a bit more fluid. But just this week found out the legend Stevie B-Zet recently passed away.

Having been nowhere near fast, ever, it's unclear how much training a genetic freak would need per week. Hot take is 300km minimum, so around 9-11 hours. I guess that's manageable especially with Zwift etc, although you would have little social life. Suspect this is why so many pros are dorks.
-
I guess to even be in a position to consider going pro means you've got to be good, which means lots of training. Fine if you're doing a 9-5 in the local fish factory, bit harder if you're a junior doc I suspect.
