Dibs on the wheels. I'm building a road bike for my son and these will do nicely.

lovely, slightly crazy Cannondale recumbent: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264455946350

This immaculate 2002 Easy Rider has appeared on ebay... Cannondale's only (as far as I know) recumbant... My desire for strange and wonderful 'dales makes me sorely tempted, but i can't really justify it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264455946350

I picked up this rather lovely and as far as I can tell completely untouched 2002 R500 on eBay. Going to give it a bit of a clean and a service, and debating whether I should modernise it at all - the tiagra groupset is a little clunky, but everything is pretty much unworn - it can't have done more than a few hundred miles. Even the bar tape is original. Thoughts, advice?

I've got a T800. These are fantastic bikes. Basically bombproof, and lovely to ride. GLWS. Oh and agree with previous comments - ditch the car...

bump..
Lovely bike - and a bit of a bargain. Almost bought this myself until HMRC cruelly intervened...

Love the look of that Somec - how much to post to london?

Youtube threw this video at me - kind of want an atlas bike now. Particular highlights: the brazing technique at 4:30, and the mudguard painting at 7:20. they're not sold in the UK but it looks like they do have dealers in Holland.

They make 4,000,000 bikes a year in that factory.

pride of place on my commuter tank...

This will be a good build. I have a 2005 T800 which I bought new, and it's been the best bike I've ever owned. Utterly solid and dependable, surprisingly quick when it needs to be, and a joy to ride. I'd suggest pairing it with wheels built using Mavic A719 rims.

this chromed Stelbel SB/03 is quite something (http://stelbel.it/en/fully-chromed-stelbel-sb03/)

Thanks. I spoke to Winston and he's saying its not something he could do. Moulton have long since moved on since making these things and aren't any help, but I'll consult the moulton preservation society and see what they say...

i'll have a look, but it's powder coat which doesn't tend to crack of its own accord.

North London, so this could work, though I'll have to overcome my innate fear of south London first.

My Moulton has developed an annoying hairline crack in the seat post at the point that it is intersected by the crossbar - as shown in the pics below. Obviously it needs to be fixed, but I need advice on the best way to do this. Any suggestions would be gratefully received, also - any recommendations on who might be able to do this for me, or should I just take it to a bloke with a welder?

Subbed. Your carbon insanity is giving me ideas for my cracked moulton.

ok, well, if you do split, dibs for F&F.

I might be interested in the frame - how much are you looking for?

Hope he gets good rest, he's put in a hell of a ride so far. I can't imagine how brutal it must be out there.

Interesting stuff going on for 5th spot. Nelson Trees has stopped to rest in a monastery and Rory McCarron is gaining ground, 60km difference now.

Provisionally SOLD

Any takers on this? or I'll pop it off to the 'bay. Price drop - £45

I have an unused Brompton front wheel that I bought from SJS for my Moulton last year before realising that the hub is the wrong size. As a result it's been sitting unused since then. It's a lovely wheel, built by SJS with a JTek Superlight Quick Release Hub (28H)and rather nice Sun Rims CR38 lightweight rim.

It's top of the range, weighing only 538g, with a quick release spindle. The hub alone is 75g lighter than the standard Brompton hub, with a much lower rolling resistance. Put this on your Brompton and you'll be flying.

I paid £75 for it last year, but am willing to let it go for £45. Collection from Highgate, N6 or i can bring it into central London most days.
