Five English Pounds.

lol! i spent 10 years in the UK, 5 pounds gets you a sandwich at Pret A Manger if even that :P

yes exactly the same, which means same headset, stem, bars (which have been chopped down a little bit as they were super wide), bb, cranks, seat (with bottle opener!), seatpost.
the condition of the whole thing is pretty good since i've only had it for 6-7 months, it has minor paint chips but not dents or dings.
it would need only pedals and wheels to get it going.
how much is it retailing for in the UK right now? 410 right?
and to answer dogsballs - i just wanted to sell this and thought you might get it for a cheaper price..

Hey guys -
I have owned this bike from new since March 08 and currently living in NYC. I wanted to see if there was any interest for this bike. the bike will be as it came. the frame is galvenized, unlike what Swobo is doing in their new model.
I'll be leaving the wheels in NYC, but can bring the rest if someone is interested. you can whisper me for offers.
Thanks!

Hey guys,

just trying to fish out some info about NYC shops for fixies... I've been in london for almost 10 years now and i'm moving to NYC in the new year, so will have to sell my bike and a lot of other random bits since it wont ship too easily.
are any of you from the big apple? I need some tips to get myself a new fixie over there :) Any help appreciated!

mm ill go check next time i go for a fag break! :P its weird tho, they make the noise only when the wheel is about to stop completely, not when i first brake, not when i slow down, but when i 'stop'

o my bad, i meant 1mm :P

i'll try to smooth out technique thing - how do u guys usually clean this part anyways? just dry paper? :O

hey guys,

wanted some advice on some front brakes shoes i just got this morning from PBK.
sort of brake system: front shimano 105

after tightening the allen bolts up and making sure it's aligning correctly to the rim, 1mm just below the top of the rim, i went on the bike and at slow speed pressed on the brake lever quite hard to see how sharp those new brake pads were... it sorta was efficient up until full stop when it made a screenching LOUD noise!! just like the ones u hear on the road when people have old brakes or something like that...

do u think they need to be used a bit before they stop making that noise? I feel those brakes are not really efficient:
