From your picture it looks more like 11343 to me.

Thirds; will PM.

Oh yeah, fully in agreement about the bike—I think the fact that it’s quoting an overwrought bit of mid-oughts folk-rock makes it extra cringe.

It all gets even more twee when you know it’s referencing a Decemberists song/album (which is itself referencing a Japanese folk tale): https://youtu.be/9S8IM6GQS9g

It’s very Portland, to be sure.

Not sure if this is quite what you’re looking for, but someone in my area is selling a TCT5000 with the “7-time TDF Champion” logo—link to Gumtree: https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/trek-tct5000/1482940914

Have someone interested in the rain cape but the base layer is up for grabs. PM me if interested; I’ll let you know if the rain cape becomes available.

More drops.

Messaged.

Bumping with price drops and additional clothing for sale.

I think I have one of these knocking around—I’ll check the storage cupboard tomorrow and send you a PM.

There’s a 56cm Reynolds 853 Roadhouse on eBay, based in Chichester. You may have seen it; if not, link is below. I rather fancied it, but I'm realistically not going to be able to pick it up.

Could I quarry the appropriateness of this pun?

Very timely, as today was G.K. Chesterton’s birthday; he authored the line alluded to in the original clue.

Because motion is impossible, Zeno.

Looked like a forum jersey/aqua jacket going south over Chiswick Bridge this morning while I was at the lights on Hartington Road. Didn’t DAS as you were on gears (as was I, to be fair).

I was a big fan of the Yepp Mini with my son—I think I started him off in it around the 10-month mark, then used it for the childminder drop-off and pick-up from 11 months or so. As long as they’re good sitting up the seat is pretty supportive and I enjoyed being able to chat with/at them en route.

I mounted it on a bike with a fairly long top tube and used some bars with a bit of backsweep, and didn’t find that it interfered with my knees too much, at least on a short commute—I did need to lower the saddle, however, as there was less room for me to stand over the top tube at lights, etc.

I’ll join the queue. PM sent.

More pictures, including freehub condition (basically unmarked; it’s titanium) and some of the minimal scuffs to one of the decals. Some of the spokes have started to lose their black costing in places, but they’re all solid.

@c00ps @Josē Larger pictures uploaded, and I’ll take some more tonight when I get home.

Price drop.

Looking to shift these wheels which have been unused by me since the project of fatherhood displaced the project of bike-building. They’re nice and light, with little wear to the braking surface (see pics) and hubs running smoothly. Dura-Ace skewers included, but no tyres/tubes.

£140 collected from W3 or the surrounding environs. Not totally averse to posting at cost, but it would probably take a bit of time to get a wheel box together.

I have some Red parts for sale here. Could post if necessary, open to negotiation if there’s anything you could use.

I have an Easton EA70 going spare as well, in W3 but I can arrange to meet around West London if you’re interested.

Dug this out of a box…once had designs on building up a “hip-hop” bike but life got in the way and now the funds would be better allocated to a winter bike better suited to the more sedate riding style I actually practise.

Shifters are Red 22 but the rest of the equipment is 10-speed. Rear derailleur is short cage. A few marks here and there but generally looking quite clean. The only things I note when giving it a look-over are that the upper jockey wheel has a crack in it and there seems to be a bit of corrosion around the head of the extended brake bolt for the front brake. The pads in the brakes are part-worn Aztecs.

The cassette is Ultegra and the chain is 10 speed (ignore the box). Both look like they’ve seen some use but are still perfectly serviceable.

Postage available at cost, or meet up in the West London environs—I’m in W3.

Naturally I would have left something out…yes, straight 1 1/8” steerer.
