Hi Tim, thanks for this. Let me see if the end caps are readily available. (So that is a boost to non-boost conversion??) I have promised myself that I’m not going to accrue more stuff that needs work, to work. I have a lot of that!

You’d think so but the stridsland/stooge stuff is also 22.2. So still have the same bmx requirement.

Aren’t MX bars made of really heavy/ thick/strong steel because weight is no issue and strength is mega important. I always assumed this is why you don’t see many cool looking renthal bars on klunker builds.

Hi hi, so I just need a 27.5 / 650b rear wheel. In standard 12mm x 142mm thru axle. Nowt fancy, just for a muck about.
Thanks

I have a hamax bike seat and clamp if you want.

Hello.
I have a bike that I have learned is referred to in contemporary parlance as non-boost?!
It has no wheels.
I have lots of wheels, but none that fit.
I need a 15x100mm front, 12x142 back.
I understand that the size I would like to try is called 27.5 rather than 650b although that means the same thing. I could be convinced by the right 29er.
Perhaps your new bike is boost or even boost+ you lucky thing and now you have some wheels you don’t want.
I might want them.
Hit me up.

Moving this to the bay. :(

Size 47 sidi size , is probably only an 11 I’d guess. Pretty tiny sizing IMO.

@Fishfabs that is a great looking racing bike. If 28c is good enough for the pros it is good enough for mere mortals.

Replied.
Didn’t I hear that mid 00’s road bikes are the next 90’s mtbs. 😃

This seems a bit fishy to me plus half of everything they have ever listed is a bike or bike part in totally random style and size. Or is it a bike shop and someone should buy this tiny tourer?

I’m going to move this to evilbay at the weekend. Does the price seem fair?

Cheers!

DM’d re brakes.

Thanks @Fishfabs + @hugo7. It is a lovely bike to ride. A bad knee, an extra 15kg and a kid means it future should not lay with me, but hopefully it will find a home.

I hadn’t thought about looking on YouTube about it. I loved the hill climb bike build- the DIY side of that scene is so so good.

Well, you are digging into the far reaches of the memory here. I think the vx edge was a slightly less complex model and more pure road than this. The VXS and the VXRS had strangely multi profiled down tubes which I remember was pretty unusual in carbon. This one also had some material called vectran in it which was to add flex and take the sting out of the cobbles.

I think they did on paper but maybe special order or something. This worked for me and I’m a long legged 6’4” (98cm inseam) so I actually used a longer seatpost than the time one it came with, you know, to get more aero. :/

Oh the group set is ultegra from the time, side entrance brifters. Deda newton handlebars. Super light 10s to ambrosio hand built rear, which was a classics style wheelset in the era and a dura ace front. It has look keo non fancy pedals and I can give some shoes and cleats if needed.

Hello hello

I would like to sell my Time VXS in XL (58) from 2006. The frame module was £3500 from shorter roachford then, which was a lot at the time though in the contemporary market it will buy you a mid range Raleigh e shopper.
It has been in dry storage in Brussels, unridden since I would say 2014 and I have just emptied that storage back to me in London.

It was their spring classics bike with a slightly longer wheelbase, more compliant frame and clearance for a whopping 28c tyre.
I managed to get a 30 on the front just now. I think 28 is max on the back.

It has mis-matched wheels since I got the dura ace front and gave the matching front to friend to borrow now ten years ago. It needs a tune up as the shifting is currently pretty ghastly but other than that it is rideable.

No idea what to ask.
Is £450 good/bad/indifferent? Any Qs please ask away.

DM’d :)

I’ll just drop you a dm about the chrome book.

I think this would be perfect for me. I’ll drop you a dm

Can I ask for spoke numbers? Thanks!

I would like to sell my Time VXS, I bought it in 2010 rode it as my Sunday best bike for that year and then put it in a lock up for a short temporary move to Belgium. Anyway...life happened...it is years later I'm back in London, I have a kid, a bad knee and a dusty out of date fancy bike I won't ride. It gives me the chills a bit, but is this now worth the same as a low end Boardman hybrid ?
