Ah yeah, haha!

To suit 5'10" - 5'11"

Something like a MuddyFox Trailblazer, Specialized CrossRoads, Trek Multi-Track.

What've you got? Cash waiting.

Shut for the lockdown period mate - tried to take a look last weekend. Not sure if the Sally's head elsewhere or just wait.

Another one gone, this time nicked from my flat complex in SE15 (indoors). That's twice in a week now. Cunts.

Cheers Merlin,

Currently the most annoying and vital tools that have gone missing are a complete set of Park Tool Allen keys (3mm-8mm), set of Park Tool spanners (6mm-17mm, although for whatever reason they didn't want the 7mm), Park Tool cable cutters, a Park Tool Hammer, 2 Park Tool adjustable spanners- There is more but I need to make a proper inventory.

Amazing how annoying it is to try and do anything when you don't have the right kit.

There is also a Makita cordless drill, battery and charger, and site radio that the blighters have nabbed. but these are less commonly used so not so vital.

Some of you may have seen this before, I mentioned it on the Stolen Bikes thread or you might have seen it on the @eldrecycles instagram. Here it is again.

On Wednesday night the workshop that we borrow from Camberwell Subterranea (John Ruskin St) was broken into and we lost a lot of hand tools and a couple of power tools, plus two bikes. One of which is a super-hard-to-replace Specialized RockCombo that you may have seen in the Stolen Bikes thread.

We've set up a GoFundMe to try to replace the lost items. Insurance is unfortunately not a viable option this time, since another space that the parent organisation (BeeUrban) runs was broken into a while back and the premiums have gone through the roof. Claiming again would basically mean spending all the help the group gets on insurance.

Here's the description from the GoFundMe page - It should help to clarify why this space is a good thing and what makes it important to the community. Please also note that I'm not officially affiliated with BeeUrban or Camberwell Subterranea, aside from volunteering a few times as mechanic at the DIY workshop and keeping the space open to the public during the week as Eldre Cycles.

We are Camberwell Subterranea - A community safe space and bicycle workshop located in three garage units underneath Aberfeldy House on the Brandon Estate, Camberwell.

Generally what we do is run free-of-charge bicycle maintenance workshops for the local community. Teaching them practical skills as well as helping them maintain their own means of transport. On top of this we offer general maintenance and servicing for anyone who drops by.

The proceeds of the services all go back into the community, we are also run solely by volunteers, with the exception of a mechanic on Saturdays for the DIY workshops.

The space is also occupied during the week by Matt and Henry, who restore bicycles they have bought themselves to earn a wage while out of work due to COVID-19. They also act as mechanics for general services, again - voluntarily.

Unfortunately what seems now inevitable happened to us on Wednesday night and we were burgled. We have been lucky and not lost everything, but we have lost a lot of our hand tools, a few power tools and two bikes, one belonging to a customer which has huge sentimental value to him.

As such, we are looking to raise funds to replace what was lost and make things right with our customer. It has been made incredibly difficult for us to continue fixing bikes for the community without most of the tools we use day-to-day.

Anything over what we need will be put back into improving the service we can offer (for instance, we currently have no toilet facilities - not so fun 10-5 Monday to Friday) or put directly back into the community. There's no way your donation will not help someone.

We just want to get back to being useful to our community.

Thank you,
Camberwell Subterranea Team

Even if you're not able to donate a share is just as helpful. Lets keep this thing alive!

Will make a good basher for someone - excuse my ignorance: BC?

Yeah you're right!

Good bike - fair, but not bargain price

Now gone - that was quick.

Came with a bike I bought and were swiftly replaced, non-identifiable hubs etc, work fine though if cosmetically tatty.

Collection from Peckham/Nunhead SE15

Forgot to say: Bolt-on axles. The awful 16mm rear, 15mm front kind (why?)

Posted or pick-up from South East London. To replace one I had to dissolve in caustic.

Bb included?

good to know there's another bicycle-ist about

reckon I just saw this leave the building (think we live in the same complex)

Bike is ex-bike mechanic owned and has been well looked after. Kept indoors and never locked up out in the rain given the choice.

All shifts and brakes as it should (just put new pads on) although the cable ends have come off so they’re a bit frayed on the ends. You could service it if you’d like or use as-is.

Paint and decals are all original, although the fork was replaced from the ally-steerer version to the full carbon version along with the front wheel after a fender bender. I took time to source the period correct part for the bike to keep the frameset near-original. Usual marks for a frame of this vintage but overall excellent condition IMO.

Please note that the seatpost included with the bike will be the Promax in the spec, not the one pictured.

Reason for sale is new bike.
