Just another victim of bike theft in London...

Looking for a replacement rear wheel.

Set up is/was: Shimano RS100 wheel, 700c 28 Schwalbe marathon plus tyre, 10 speed cassette...

If anyone's got an entire used package similar to the above then great! If not a wheel would be a good starting point...

Thanks guys

John

Looking for a used hybrid in size large. Previous bike stolen and out of pocket but need something to get around. Nothing too pretty as have to lock outside but nothing too terrible as use it everyday approx 50 miles a week.

Would also consider a flat bar road bike or Cx or MTB. No single speeds please.

Am based in central London.

Thanks!

Thanks - appreciate your help, but this thread is to do with the Greyhound bike above for sale or trade enquiries.

haven't received anything?

Price bump: £330 (keen on trades as well)

Some more pictures attached. Haven't cleaned the bike at all, the frame looks like it did from when it was built to be honest. And yes the panels are lovely!

Some detailed pictures:

Hi all,

please see latest pictures further down in thread

Selling this Greyhound road bike. 55cm seat tube. I’m 5’11 with a 31 inseam and just about stand over bike without touching.

Price: £350 (I paid £700 for the build + another £200 on the new bits from Cloud 9). Bike is based in London, 5 mins from Earls Court station if you wanted to see.

I don’t know too much about this frame or bikes in general. Bought the frame as part of a single speed build from Hackney Peddler a year ago. The frame is old - I think HP said late 50s and the craftsmanship is clearly there. Believe was made in Hammersmith, UK just down the road from me.

The frame is in good condition in that there are no dings, dents, bends or cracks. Cosmetically it has got the original paint still so is now wearing off as you can see. For a city ride it doesn't look obviously expensive to thieves. I like that it still has the original paint and you can see the frame for what it is, no quick paint job cover ups.

About 6 months ago the handlebars, seat post, saddle were changed and new brake cables and chain was fitted by Cloud 9 Cycles (someone stole the saddle and then cut the cables and chain). The seat post and saddle is fitted with a HEXLOX bolt which can’t be removed using a standard allen key and requires a special key and if you lose the key they can be replaced. It just gives peace of mind that it’s gonna be far harder to pinch the saddle or seatpost now - (key and replacement code included in sale)

I’ve ridden it around London a lot for commuting. It's a light nippy single speed for getting about or perhaps a very pretty pub bike or for someone to restore with complete period parts. I am only selling as want something more suitable for light touring with gears and only have space for one bike.

If you’d be interested in splitting bits of the bike up just let me know although for ease of sale would like to just keep it all together and you can then take it apart if you wish. Am no bike mechanic to strip it all cleanly or have the equipment available to do so.

Would also be v interested in trades or part exchange for a more modern geared road bike with drops.

Parts list below and pictures (can send more images). Some of the parts are unbranded. If you have any questions or more info about the frame would love to hear. Thanks, John.

Just an update on the seatpost bolts:

I have had the ugly large black male bolt and the original female bolt replaced with a smaller silver bolt from a bike shop. It's not ideal but it works. I have kept the original female bolt and this will be given to next owner.

Please see pictures.

No i'm afraid not, the callipers are still the same though - Universal Mod. 77

BUMP: £250 without the lock. Any takers?

It's their own Aluminium tubing.

Hi!

The seat tube and top tube are both 54cm. I am 5'11 and the frame was a bit small for me. If you stood over the bike the top tube should not be touching you.

If you check the bike size guide here it should be ok: https://www.evanscycles.com/help/bike-sizing-road

but everyone's body is different!
you are welcome to try.
thanks, john

Selling my Alan bike. It's a 54cm. Some decent Campagnolo components on it.

Will include the Kryptonite lock and bracket in the sale (the bracket is held in place from slipping down by the bottle cage). The wheels have security pinhead locks so you don't need to lock them separately (will include key for this also). Both inner tubes have recently been replaced. The saddle/seatpost is a quickfix as someone stole my old ones (one of the screws on the seatpost is an ugly temporary job, you can change this at a bike shop). The bell bracket is missing a bell haha and some of the stickers have peeled.

All in all though it's a nice ride, the frame is alumiunium so pretty light and the Dutch style handlebars make it a comfy riding position. I've included a picture of what it looked like when first built in 2017 by Seabass cycles in case anyone did fancy restoring it.

Price: £300

Can collect from central London or we can meet up. Any questions just shoot and can send more detailed pictures.

Thanks!
John

Looking for a 25.0mm seatpost for my Alan bike. If you have a saddle (anything decent) then would be interested in that also. Some scumbag pinched mine.
Cheers,
John
