We still have a shop in Truro, we just also have the one I work at in Summercourt now.

Considering the condition, yes. After a re-grease all the bearings are smooth and there is no pitting. The frame only has a few marks on the paint. Apart from someone being ham fisted with the headset at one point it is about as perfect as you could hope a bike of this age can be.

I’ll take some better pictures when it’s sunny.

It’s here! It’s also in perfect condition. On my way to work to strip, clean, re-grease and polish.

Alexrims, no name hubs. Not tubeless but setup tubeless with 32mm gravelkings. Can include the tyres for a little more.

That’s why I didn’t list it.

What can I do? No point getting wound up about something I can’t change. Also, first world problems, my customs bill is too high on my rare bike with SR than I’m importing that I’ll get to use maybe 20 times a year…

Seatpost is a use carbon but cut to length for me. It has what you can see plus 8cm

Prices added. A few random bits added more to come.

They’re a £450 fork and only a few months old so don’t want to give them away. £275 plus a few quid for post?

Yes, 1 1/8th and 230mm

I need to raise some cash for a customs bill. See here https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/370066/

They charged me duty of 14% and then vat at 20%. Bicycles from the EU don’t incur the duty in the trade deal. I’ve been mischarged. I have to pay it and then claim it back. I think I’m about to put some stuff I don’t want up for sale…

It’s annoying as it was made in then U.K.

Cleared customs with a bill of over £500…

Only one for me, clear winner

Archspire - Bleed the future

This is fun. Lost my mojo a bit with cunts on the road.

Gave in and bought a MTB.

Parcelforce/customs contacted me asking for proof that I bought it personally, how much I paid and another million bollocks questions. I think it is because I got it posted to work (bike shop) and they need to know if it’s personal or business. Either way I’m getting fucked for around £300.

Anyway, I hope to have it by the end of next week if they get there arse into gear.

First fixed 200?

I was a sab for two years when I had more free time. It is one of the most shit ways to spend your day but also very needed. You don’t understand how much of a cunt people can be until you do some sab’ing.

Nope, in the U.K. but stuck in customs.

I’m a lad that lives in Cornwall. My lad has no chance in housing because everyone needs a place down here for one reason or another.

The rourke seems cheap. GLWS.

Get a card from Richard. Get each ride signed off, send card back at end of season. I’ll pm you his email address. I did my last SR fixed in 2019 but plan another one this season.
