My Boardman CX team. Will do everything you want from a bike and more. It really is excellent. After some tweaking of brakes and finishing kit, it's really the perfect all rounder. It's not flashy, but it rides great. Tow paths, loaded on the back, road rides, commuting... Laps it all up.[/QUOTE]

What tyres have you got on there? Silly question, but what's the deal with the disc brakes, is it just for extra stopping power when fully loaded? Always assumed they weigh a tonne? Guess I am wrong.

I'm not too fussed about a 'specific' tourer, but most I get attracted to at the moment have no eyes...

Edit: above seems like a good option....I initially suggested riding there fixed, but was told to GTFO. Probably for the best! Were you B&B-ing/hosteling?

yep, I've read lots of good reports, same with this http://www.fatbirds.co.uk/24251/products/tifosi-ck7-audax-grey-veloce-audax-sportive-bike.aspx

I guess it is Tiagra + Steel vs Alu + Veloce

This is quite an important point. Do you want to spend £1000 on bike that will be used for commuting (even if its free money ;-))?

All those nice new components getting dust, dirt and rainwater/puddle water in and leaving it locked up outside!

Maybe you get your get 531 frame set and build that up for commuting and then use the ride-2-work voucher for a fair-weather bike which you can use on summer tours and sunny weekends. Will live inside also.

Carbonz & Ultegra

Alu & Disks

Cinelli

Very good point, but I already have an Colnago which is my ultimate fair weather bike : ) She will not see rain!

I don't think I will be commuting in all weathers (it is a commute for pleasure and fitness through countryside as opposed to necessity/parking etc), so whilst I don't want something AMAZING, it is not a problem having something half decent.

I have seen that Planet X Ultegra deal before, unbelievable bargain, and have actually recommended it to somebody.

cheers, I did actually look at the Kaffenback.

I've never had disks before though, they scare me a little. Thoughts on this?

So, I hit the dreaded three-oh this August, and have made a silly decision to ride to Spain as some kind of a send off to my youth.

Normally, I would just build something up from a nice 531(st?) frame and bits from this here forum, but my decision happened to coincide with my work deciding to run cyclescheme for the first time, so I figure I might as well spunk a grand (it's free money if you don't have to pay it back in one go, obviously...)

I don't really want to get a full-on tourer with discs etc, as we are planning on travelling extremely light and passing out under a bivvy every night after several bottles of Bordeaux. It would probably also get used for my daily 14 mile flat commute, so I don't want a total tank. I would also like something at least a little bit cool if that is at all possible, most of the new bikes I have looked at make me want to do a sick.

Alternative is to just spend my voucher on a Dolan track and build up a tourer from bits...

tl;dr: cyclescheme voucher burning a hole, tell me what to buy

Hi mate,

Interested in this and can collect end of the month if it hasn't been taken by then.

Cheers

Shiiiiiiiit

Wish I had seen this, I now need a tourer and was thinking just last week how much this frame would have been perfect!

Teach me for staying away from the forum...

All sold

Another drop

Pedals added

Dropzzzz

I started building this up over the last few weeks, but an extremely annoying change of plan means I'm now selling it unfinished. I bought all of the parts from folks on here, and just want to get back something like I paid tbh

The frame has lots of chips in certain areas, but still looks really nice and is perfect for winter. It had a respray, and the decals weren't lacquered, so they are a bit scruffy. Not 100% they are original forks, but match nicely.

The wheels are pretty much true, and run really smoothly.

Included:
Harry Hall 531 Frame/forks
F&R Campag Veloce brakes (very decent condition, loads of life left in pads)
Sun rims/DT Swiss flip flop wheelset (from a Kona Paddy Wagon aparently)
Charge bullhorns
2 x brand new Conti ultra sport/tubes
Brand new modus headset
Unbranded quill stem
Charge Saddle (rip can be seen)
Seat post is NOT included in sale
Track cog (16t I think)

I live in Nottingham, but am working in Milton Keynes during the week at the moment. I can meet you at or between those two destinations for free, or can come as far south as Highgate or Archway or something for £15-£20/cost of fuel.

£170>>>£160>>>£150

Also have some MKS pedals with straps, fair condition £16 posted

Last drop before bay.

Dropping

£28 each now, absolutely farcical price.

Absolutely gutted to be selling these Eurus, but unfortunately pets heads are falling off right now. I live in Nottingham, although will be down in Clapton/Dalston/Stoke Newington this weekend if somebody wants to collect. I can post at cost.

I believe they are from about 2004-2005, and are in stunning condition for age, hardly ridden. There are a couple of small marks on them (I have pictured the worst, and managed to make it look worse than it is), and obvious marking on the braking surface. They have had decals taken off, and are pretty damn light. £140>>£135>>£128

Can chuck in the 10-mile-old Veloce 9sp cassette for £25>>£20

Next are some heavy as hell, but I imagine bombproof 27" wheels. Rigida Chromix rims I think, and they have a dodgy-looking SS conversion on, that actually worked really well, defying all logic. Run reasonably true and smooth I guess. £10

Charge bullhorns - pretty good condition apart from some wear to the logo, I bought these from here last week but don't need them. After £10>>£8, which is what I paid

Can you post? Interested in the Pedals if you can

Dropzzzz, mega bargain right now

any chance I could collect the 700c pair tomorrow afternoon?

I live in Nottingham, but in Clapton tonight till about 3pm I guess

where are you located?

I think they were actually from either Creative Video or Jessops (lol) originally...

If buyer is happy, I can unwrap and do full write/read test before posting.

yep

I have 6, sealed and unused Sandisk Extreme cards, 60MB/s version.

I bought a load of these for a project and they work great for full HD, low compression video or high burst rate still shooting.

As mentioned, they are all sealed and from authentic UK stock. Think they were in the region of £60 each new (although we probably overpaid). I'm after £34>>£30>>£28 posted each which I think is cheapest you will find anywhere.

I actually have these up on ebay on a BIN. I have listed them cheaper on here, which I think is in the spirit of the forum. If people think this is not acceptable, I can take a couple off the ebay listing.

Lasco cranks still available?
