He’s got to be the single worst thing that could have happened for the climate globally, some (hopefully not as many as might) will follow suit with his rolling back of green initiatives to chase the populist vote.
Nothing we can do about that tho, so will just have to keep on doing what we can. -
Arrived today from Brilliant Bikes after being on back order for a few weeks. £35 seems a bargain.
Bit of work to install as I need to find a 24mm socket to remove my old style folding pedal and fork crown to be drilled out to fit the recessed pedal holder.
-
Yes, it’s an extender (seatpost)!
-
I’m a fan of these bars, fit me well on my S

Hi Quincy,
You can rent Bromptons (ML3) for £5 for 24hrs using Brompton Bike Hire. Or if you’re short like me you could borrow my SL2 (standard seatpost, fits me at 5’7”) for a couple days. I’m in Hornchurch, not done the ride into central but take it on the Elizabeth line regularly.

Dibs on the clock

Hey, I’m interested if still available?
-
A 4.75 kg T line. Impressive what can be achieved, but I don’t even want to think what it cost to build
-
Sorry,, thought it was the main sales threads, but this is in classified section too…
Cheers for point out that out -
Removed
-
Was eyeing the pedals up too. Next upgrade is removable pedal(s)
-
Also interested in the rack if J2S doesn’t take it
-
Ha, yeah sorry should have said southeast England
-
Very kind offers @harv4130 and @user155490! I managed to get a used wheel from gumtree which does the job.
Happy riding! -
Sorted now
Hey,
I’m down in Cornwall for a week and just noticed that a bunch of the spokes on my front wheel are broken. Thinking the quickest option will be to find a temp / replacement wheel. Ideally looking for something cheap in North Cornwall (I’m staying in Wadebridge), can drive an hour or so in any direction. It’s an older road bike so won’t take anything too wide, will measure the rim when I get home.
Luckily I had the Brompton in the boot so still managed to make it out today.

Hey sharpeleven, sending you a PM
-
Might this interest you? Set up to skid, but in need of a good amount of TLC and new parts (rear tyre, tubes and chain).
It’s a TT frame, but think it’s bigger than 48/49cm equivalent - I’m 5’ 7” and rode it setup as is, previous owner @Pesto was 5’ 10”. F&F bought from the forum 15 years ago 💀, the original post which had the geometry has gone, but I can take some measurements if you’re interested.
-
Cheers for the pointer sacredhart!
I’m leaning towards buying one now as it’s getting to crunch time to buy in time for my trip. I try to avoid buying things unless I know I’ll use them enough to justify buying, mostly for environmental reasons. Looks like I might need to buy in this instance, so hopefully will end up putting it to good use.
In case anyone sees and is interested, I noticed that Rab and Decathlon rent camping gear (but not bivvys). Prices don’t see too bad either.
-
Cross-post, looking to rent or borrow a bivvy for the next couple of weeks, if you kind folks have one that won’t be in use
-
Anyone got a bivvy I could rent / borrow for a couple weeks? I’m heading up to the Lakes on Sunday (25th), will be a way for a couple weeks but likely to only use it once or twice to stargaze with my girlfriend. Don’t think it’s something I’d use regularly hence not wanting to buy one at the moment.
I’m 5’ 7” / 1.7m and could collect from central or somewhere east during the week or on Sat.
Cheers,
Phil
