Painful. I'd be straight on this if it was a 54

Reviving this old thread. Still after a grey 53cm.

Bought and built up something else, but the Road Logic is still a goal.

Would be open to a modern Rourke too. Seen a few around with a similar geo to the Road logic, and they look lovely.

I was watching that too. Glad to see it went to somebody on here. I'd already built it up with suntour superbe pro in my mind. It'll be awesome either way.

(btw - 1st dibs if you sell?)

One of the nicest frames I've seen on the forum. Crazy bargin. I wish I was taller!

If I could, I so would. GLWS

That is such a shame about the Panasonic. That, and the Nag, are very awesome.

Sounds great. Thanks.

Anybody checked out Four Boroughs coffeeshop in Crystal Palace? Came across them on IG last night, and saw it's run by a couple of guys from Brixton Cycles CC. Looks good. Apparently focus on healthy food and don't serve drinks with milk.

Thanks for the replies. I'd be really keen to do a session. And if it went well, like you said, develop through some on the job experience in a coffeeshop somewhere.

Sorry if it's been mentioned mulitple times before, but can anybody recommend a good course in London for Barista skills? I know there's a few about, like Prufrock, and specialist schools. Wondered if anybody has first hand experience? Or would people suggest learning on the job, part-time?

As per title. Ideally in gc.

In London, but could pay postage.

I've been a bit crap with selling this, and had interest from people, but no committed takers.

I'd like rid of it this weekend.

Price drop to £130

Collection only.

A pink/blue Roberts, currently in need of a good clean.

I should say, I was riding, but on my roadie.

There did seem to be some shocking bus-driving along Old St>Theobolds this morning.

Reckon I spotted @CGMarshall this morning. Judging by the white Samson. Teamed with full Warsaw kit. Strong look.

Also spotted another Samson yesterday, on my way home from work west>east. Sparkly blue-ish number. Dude seemed to be totally lost. Was behind him, then he'd take a right, then reappear, then take next right, and so on.

And a grey Gangsta in Bethnal Green this morning. Sweet.

Makes me want to get my track bike back out of hibernation for summer.

sorted now

Cheers. Ditto.

I'd be keen to switch over to an ahead stem and adaptor at some point.

Plus I should probably be using 170+ cranks, rather than the 165's I got with the groupset.

God, that Jaegher sick.

Sun's out. Gums out!

New Vittoria Corsas. A bugger to put on. Took the skin off my thumb, and I'm just waiting for a pinch flat as I could not get the tube in very neatly. But they look good, and that's the main thing!

Yesterday, Grays Inn road junction a guy heading east on a sweet black Look Kg381 with dura ace. Really nice bike.

Today, same junction, same direction, young lady on a Fluro pink Aventon, Looking strong.

Reckon they must be on here.

Agree. Awesome guys. Friendly and helpful. They built up my bike for me. Just little things like getting the gears dialled in just right, and precise bar wrapping (using plain electrical tape, rather than logo'd strip) make a big difference.

Some interesting stories here, and pleased to know I'm not the only one unsatisfied in their current situation.

A few years ago I moved to South Australia with my GF at the time. In the process gave up working in a 'proper job', which I was sick of, and worked as a bike messenger. Riding around in the sun AND RAIN was sweet (most of the time). Spent my time on standby thinking about setting up my own business/store/cafe. Actually started a very small 'business' (if you can call it that) designing t-shirts for a while, which sold in bike stores and online. Then switched to temping for different local government departments to try and start a 'career'. Spent my time thinking about a business/store/cafe. Due to breaking up with the GF, moved back to London.

When I got back I slipped straight back into a similar role to what I had left about 3 years previously. Thought about retraining, partly to get a skill needed to get back to Oz. Partly to set up my own business. Decided it would cost too much and take too long. That was 5 years ago. I'm still in the same job...thinking about setting up my own business/store/cafe.

The 2 main reasons I haven't taken the leap are 1) As soon as I think about how much it would cost, and how I could pay rent while retraining or setting something up. 2) The fear. Taking a leap of faith and scared it'll go wrong...and 3) More importantly, the idea keeps changing.

I feel like my ideas of what I picturing it being are gradually becoming more comprehensive. And started looking at how to go about creating a start-up. But the fear, although lessening, is still there. Esp with regards to financially.

I realise this sounds very vague, but the idea is essentially a store. I picture it being bricks and mortar, but considering online, at least to begin with (due to The Fear).

Sorry, was waiting for the 1st dibs guy to reply.

Ideally I'd like the bike collected.

Regarding geo - I believe it's 52 x 52 cc, but will check tonight. I'm 5'8" and it worked for me. But probably not for anybody taller.

Cheers. Was contemplating switching to risers and sticking a rack on. Would easily take 28c tires.
