well I've sent an awkwardly phrased, overly confusing message through that should culminate in my first order to go with the amazing saddle roll I was given. First ever bike-intended backpack - all based on the feedback so far.

Very excited to even just get a response!

Second dibs on cap...

all sold, sad to see it leave...

Our flat's pub beater (56cm alu frame), which has been in the family since my brother built it at uni, needs a new home. Sale will support the final purchase in a new bike build and open up the living space required...

Works fine, used as casual commuter when other bikes are in bits but has had the odd tumble on the way home from the pub in its younger days (see pictures for battle scars/age).

Sale includes complete bike, 4 spare inners and some SIS gels to help with the hangover - £45 or fair offer

Collection SW11/SW4/WC2E (Covent Garden area)

Clearing out odds and sods I found while tidying the flat - let me know if I'm being outrageous with my asking prices (getting greedy while saving up for some new bibs...).

All items collection in SW11/SW4/WC2E or there abouts.

6 Planet X 48mm presta 700c 18/23, new and boxed - £2 each or £8 all of them

16 days later:

New BB, new chain (because!), no spacers and faced BB and it is a completely different story. Thank you everyone for the suggestions and advice.

Chainline looks, measures and feels fine without spacers, all that remains to be done is giving the chain a hint of slack.

Thanks everyone!

Great replies - you're all giving me hope.

upstart - cups went in really cleanly, so doubt (re: praying) it's not cross threaded
Pifko - if GXP drags, any thoughts on alternative BBs?
Santino - interesting thought, I have been known to run my chain a bit tight (although have been riding super slack since christmas in an attempt to stop the cranks from loosening off)
Hovis - can't recall, i suspect its 68 but I'll check and spacers are there

I'll clean up and disassemble tonight, come back with any pictures / or extra detail.

Thanks everyone

HELP! (Or, great condition Omniums for sale...)

Used (but great condition) Omniums, new GPX BB, new chainring, new chain, new sprocket, old and abused Fuji Track. Fitted in October, and ridden every day since but never without an issue.

• the cranks need re-tightening every 6-10k on the road, to the point that I even carry a full sized allen key. Next step is too get the frame re-faced, but any other suggestions on why this might be happening?
  
• Hit a pothole yesterday, one heavy clunk later, and I've got some serious clicking issues which I hoping might be BB related (see linked video) but has anyone else come across similar?
  
• Cranks definitely do not turn freely (see end of linked video)
  
  

Anyone have any thoughts? Please let me know if I've missed any important information or worse, missed a relevant comment at the top of the thread - I'm sort of hitting my limit and considering a return to trusted square taper!

BUMP - I've been a terrible and annoying buyer; and this guy deserves a bump on his thread!

Is the Fuji still available?
