A pair of Sagan's legs. That might have been a dream though. There was another dream that involved a couple of tyres too.

Nope, just a replacement rear derailleur hanger which has been all sorted.

Well, offer of £700 received so thanks for the expert opinion from the keyboard warriors.

The product reviews out there certainly all seem to disagree with your verdict:

Top banter.

I'm assuming you've got a link to these <£1000 wheels and have considerable experience of riding this particular wheelset in order to deem it "average"?

They're the stiffest wheelset I'm ever ridden, and I've been on Enves for an entire season previously.

Well, it looks like I'm now acquainted with the village idiot around here.

Re-read the context of that phrase, you'll find I was referring to the perceived ambiguity of the rule phrasing not whether the generation and enforcement of the rules was agreed by consensus.

Very well put indeed, for the greater good (hoods, round table and torch light from below, etc.). However, the bike's been advertised for almost a month and is not at what I believe (perhaps wrongly) to be an excellent price, yet it is still here.

Yes, quite. Just been trying to help answer some unresolved topics, as I do on any forum.

Sounds like you need MakeSpace Cambridge - http://makespace.org

Otherwise, Primo Cycles on Jesus Lane.

Perhaps, I just think demanding exclusivity is a good way of coming across as somewhat insular despite its perceived benefits and those on the inside feeling satisfied.
Thanks, likewise.

Oh, so this must be the friendly forum atmosphere that brought me to LFGSS.

Okay, thanks for the explanation. I found it ambiguous even if you didn't (probably has something to do with you writing the rule) and I disagree with your suggestion that people readily shop around on different sites. For example, I do most of my selling on Facebook, and I know that despite the fact that I'm a member of 9 suitable groups facilitating buying and selling, many buyers are only a member of 1 or possible 2 of those. Hence, I advertise on all of them. Likewise, I advertise on BikeRadar and timetriallingforum, because the audience isn't really the same yet both are interested and indeed buy what I advertise. Spam doesn't seem to be a problem worthy of resolution on those fora despite the absence of any equivalent rule.

I'd take everywhere else over here so feel free to delete.

For rides I'd grab some routes off Strava - check out Tom Baylis, Samuel Williams, Robert Gesink, James Oram, etc. etc.

Stuff to do - La Fabrica, the cathedral, explore the Old Town, old stone bridge over the river.

Bikebreaks Girona Cycle Centre for hire.

Hope that's not too late (probably is) and gets you or others started. Enjoy!

I read that fairly bizarre and somewhat ambiguous rule and interpreted it as meaning you couldn't post an advert here simply with a link to the same advert posted elsewhere so as to direct traffic away from LFGSS. Apparently the rule is in place to "reduce the facelessness of the classifieds marketplace" and build "forum atmosphere" . . . whatever that means. Was that interpretation incorrect?

Any who does business with me will realise I'm all for building relationships and conversing. I've got 2 adverts on here which are also replicated on numerous other sites, and they've been up for several days. If someone feels obliged to delete them at this stage then please do so, but I really fail to understand what doing so would achieve. Rules are rules though, questioning them would be punishable by death (or the subjecting of sexual organs to a strong electric current, so I hear)!

PRICE DROP!

PRICE DROP!

As in the race? None actually.

What would you put it at? They're £6500 new and that's with mechanical Dura Ace not Ultegra Di2, plus cheaper wheels. Personally I'd say ~59% RRP at only 7 months old is a great deal, no?

Condition: Less than 10 months old so in very good condition, smooth & true, all in all these wheels are extremely stiff and pretty bomb proof. Rear hub replaced by UK distributor in addition to regular servicing of both wheels. Couple of peeling decal corners on rear drive side rim.

-> 10/11 speed universal freehub (Shim/SRAM/Campag).
-> Tyres & cassette not included.
-> Rims are plain black underneath the removable green decals.
-> Comes with Edco skewers & 2 x Edco single wheelbase.

Selling for £795 ovno. Collection from Whitstable in Kent or postage at buyer's cost. Get in touch for more photos etc.

-> Note: Will be sold with a Ultegra chainset rather than the one shown, otherwise as pictured. Comes with Specialized Venge zip wallet containing accessories/parts/documentation. Will be sold uncabled from the stem forwards to allow you to play with fit and switch stems etc.

-> Condition: only 7 months old (~10,000km of use) so in excellent condition. Some scuffs on the saddle/shifters/rear mech, a few very small stone chips & marks on the frame. Rear tubular has seen quite a lot of use, front tubular is almost brand new though, both glued by professional mechanics. Both wheels run smooth & true, pedals have recently been regreased, chain is only a couple of weeks old and has been regularly replaced. Couple of decal imperfections & peeling corners but can easily be replaced. Edco wheels have white logos underneath, frame is stealth black underneath. All in all, professionally serviced and maintained on a regular basis.

-> Sizing: parts can be changed at any Specialized dealer. Stems are available from 70mm-135mm and seat posts are available in two lengths in 0mm, 25mm or 35mm offset. Bike will be sold uncabled from the stem forwards to allow for fitting and will come with your choice of brand new bars (with or without 25mm rise in 38cm-44cm widths). No increase in stack is possible with steerer tube spacers, only with the different 25mm rise bars. Geometry information in photos, but would probably suit anyone 5ft 11"+.
