Yeah I like that the frame is very pre gravel craze.

Postage would be about £40

No I doubt it. I think a 38 is about the max.

Selling my well-loved Genesis Croix De Fer 56cm in Reynolds 725 steel.

This was my gravel bike for a few years and got some good use around Epping Forest and further afield. I was planning to outfit it as a commuter bike but kids and a new job scuppered that idea. As a result it has a slightly odd assortment of parts on it.

I bought this via the forum a few years back and now returning it from whence it came. Not splitting - sorry!

I’ll take the no brand carbon seat post if it’s still available. PM incoming

Sorry - I'll undibs the Bontragers. Might not be what I'm looking for after some research but sure they'll make someone else happy. Thanks anyway @rakesmith

Dibs the bontragers - I’ll PM you now. Cheers

Dibs the genesis carbon fork. I’ll PM you now. Cheers
Edit: just realised it’s tapered so undibs. Sorry, got a bit trigger happy there

Out of interest did the different trail on the fork affect the steering much? I’ve got a 2011 cdf (same geo as yours) and thinking about upgrading to something like this

Hello, anyone interested in a brand new pair of Filson Service boots in brown roughout US size 11 (Uk size 10)? I was really excited to get these but they're about 0.5 to 1 size too big for me (I usually wear a size 9 UK in dress shoes for comparison so they'd probably suit someone who wears 9.5-10 UK). Looking for £260. You're saving 60USD in shipping and a load more in import duties. Can deliver at cost or pickup E7. They're a lovely heavy duty pair of boots so hope they can go to a good home. https://www.filson.com/men/footwear/boots/service-boots-2.html

Gazelle have a shiny new ebike next year which will probably also have decent adapters

We went for the gazelle cabby (no not an e assist) for the simple reason that the adapters for a maxi cosi car seat are really good. A lot of the other big brands we tested (babboe, bakfiets.nl) use rickety adapters which don’t feel super safe and clatter around a lot

Thanks, nice red colour! But I should have mentioned in OP that I’m London based. Looks like you’re up in the midlands and looking for collection.

PMed!

Looking for a Brompton to help with the Corona-commute.

Ideally S2L but would happily consider 3 speed and M bars. Basically whatever you’ve got, let me know.

Looking for a Bakfiets.nl Classic Long cargo bike, in decent working order, to help keep the family off of public transport during this virusy time.

Yes, I realise this is a long shot.

I'm based in east London.

2nd dibs on the panaracer paselas if @CM2Mackem decides against

Thanks for the tip, I’ll give this a try

This was the second ever post in this thread:

speaking of tyres, anyone have the problem of when putting on new tyres you get the annoying bloody lump round the valve that is a general pain in the arse to get rid of? Any solutions other than stressing, sweating, swearing for an hour??

The suggestion then was also to wiggle the valve and push it up before inflating.

Pressure is at max reccommended.

I can try to get a pic but I don’t think it will show much. The sidewall dimples in a tiny bit next to the valve but I don’t think you’ll be able to see anything in a photo

Help please: having problems with the little blob/dimple on sidewalls of tire next to the valve after fitting new tires. Results in multiple pinch flats next to valve. I’ve tried the trick of pushing the valve in and wiggling around before/during pumping up but no luck. The tires are 35mm gravel king SKs and rims are alexrims df23 (21.6mm outer width/15.7 inner). Have tried 2 different types of inner tube. Is it possible that the rims are just too narrow for the thickness of the bead, forcing the valve to pinch? I realise this is a stupid problem but I’m running out of ideas here...

Nice. Unfortunately the old frame has smaller clearance. Good luck with the mudguards!
