Hi, in really good condition. I hardly rode the bike, I put it together as a do it all bike, but I ended up cycling much less in the last couple of years. No major dings anywhere, with standard scratches here and there on the underside and I think in the seatstay bridge. Nothing else to speak of.

Amateur mistake. Fixed

Photo of bike, will add more later

Reluctant sale but I don't cycle much these days, and the most used part on the bike has seen likely less than 300 mostly dry miles on the road in the almost 2 years I've owned them. Looking to get a folding bike to cover my short bike errands or rare commute to the office. Looking to sell for £1,000 collection from London SE1, not sure if this is a reasonable price but I put a lot into the bike thinking it would get me riding but alas...

Pre-Christmas price drops

Domke collected by @amey and Dakine on hold for @umop3pisdn Thanks for taking these off my hands.

Ummm... @amey has literally just picked up the Domke about 25 minutes ago, but if you can convince him to come back then the Dakine is yours

All 'sold'

Ah, that's good to hear. With how long the Fuji sensors have been out, I'd have thought they would have been sorted out.
Besides, I end up converting everything to black and white :)

So managed to get a good condition X-T2 and 23/1.4 so back on the photography train. I've read though that Fuji can be a bit of a challenge to process in Lightroom as the software does a bad job of processing. Is this true? What alternatives are there to use? I'll probably end up using jpeg out of camera, but like to mess around with film simulations on Lightroom.

Hi,
for now it's not, withdrawing from sale as my purchase of a small Arkose fell through. Will update the thread but get back to you if I do find a replacement frame. Cheers

Why is everyone on this forum so damn tall? Have a free bump :)

Any experience with how they grade lens? MPB has the 18-55 graded at Good for £240, whereas WEX has 9- for £260. I guess both are reputable dealers

That makes sense with the price point, and I guess buying from say Amazon I can return if I do get a dud. The 18-55 used seem to be about £240 online, does this sound reasonable or are the retailers taking you for a ride for that price?

What's the thoughts on the TTartisan/7artisan offerings?

Thanks. I like the primes, but as the camera will be a mix of my own solo walks around town and family snaps, the kit lens sounds like it'll be a winner.
Does anyone know where I might be able to rent on to try? I don't quite have enough money to get one just yet, but also have my kids birthday party this Friday/Saturday so would need one to use and test at the same time.

Budget budget lens for Fuji X-T2? I just got the X-T2 after a long search, but in need of a lens. Looking for something that covers the 28mm-35mm range and fast(ish). What's good?

What do you have? Can collect anywhere in London.

On my computer I have a 1tb NVME drive, this has all the OS stuff and a seperate SSD used mostly for gaming. Haven't got anything else in terms of storage. It was built mostly as a gaming rig, but I'm getting slowly back into photography and doing some video stuff so know this can add up quickly in terms of storage.

So edit on a SSD, how would that work? I have an external drive to back up my photos. Granted, not the most secure approach, but I'm not at the stage to making a home server (it's intimidating for me to contemplate)

Looking for an internal HDD, something in the 8-10TB range, mostly for storing my family photos and videos and editing. So, looking for reliability over pure out and out performance. What's your recommendations?

Brake levers for rim or disc?

Looking to get my kiddo his first bike. He turns 6 next month and only recently has shown an interesting in cycling. I'm guessing we need something in the 16 to 18" wheel category. Does anyone have one that's in good condition, ideally a Frog or Islabike because that's the only ones I've heard about.
And silly question, I can just remove pedals and he can start off using it as a balance bike right until he's more confident?

Price drop to £120
