You could buy it complete and sell what you don't want...

Might split, but I am a lazy man.

Thanks Ed. So no takers then? Maybe I need some sexier photos. Last chance before I ebay...

Ok offers around £500? really lovely bike here, roll up roll up etc.

No problem. I'm 6ft on the nose.

Sorry, missed this. Will check tonight. You mean diagonally?

Hmm, not quite yet mate. Will let you know.

Frame is as follows:

Reynolds 753, Columbus cast lugs, finished in 1994 Condor Racing team colours
57cm ctt seat tube
53.5 cm ctc top tube
40cm ctc chainstays
130mm rear spacing (vertical drop-outs unfortunately)
650c front 700c rear
Campagnolo Athena headset, english thread BB
A1 condition, no noticeable chips or scratches

Campagnolo Veloce 7 Speed Groupset – good nick, working well.
Unknown rear wheel – looks the part but a bit heavy.
White velocity deep V 650 front wheel, laced to some hub (can check – decent nick)

Probably needs new bottom bracket, as last one incompetently installed. Works though. Also stem/handlebars=(I have the Campag Veloce brakes and, i think, levers…)

I’ll keep the pedals unless you desperately want some crappy flats. Ditto incredibly uncomfortable saddle.

Offers over £500 seems about right. Collect from Hoxton. Can check stuff if people have questions.Can't seem to embed second photo, sorry.

Anymore emo memes? Memos?

We did invent the submarine ejector seat

Sounds like an Irish invention to me, like the inflatable dartboard etc.

Ah, I notice that Furious Tiles made the same observation 11 hours ago. Apologies.

At this risk of continuing this absurd Lillipution/Blefuscanian style debate, I refer you all to this:

It has certainly been my experience that adding hot water to milk causes the milk to emulsify more satisfactorily. The only reason for adding milk after brewing is to more carefully regulate the milkiness of the eventual cuppa, as George Orwell rightly pointed out. This can easily be overcome with a careful system of timing/measurement.

Oh lady, how I wish I could've caught up with you as you went through a blatant red light onto Holloway Road this morning, with your small child, blissfully unaware of your selfish and very un-parent like behaviour. Shocking.

The real question is: why couldn't you catch her? She must be a nang pedaler.

Also available free all over London.

to be fair, Eddie Merckx was a bit of a nodder.

Are you a little peeved that you haven't got done for 'wanton or furious cycling' though? Just a little bit?

deep. Biggup dirk hoffman motorhomes.

wwf, now that's for real men.

ryders going down man. a shame.

What, in Crouch End? Ghetto.

A crap joke based on:

Isn't he a minor?

He'll just hide underground until it's all blown over.

I'm sad that we lost the dodo.

I think the tendency in favour of megafauna is understandable, as I think (but I'm not a biologist, so tell me off if not true) unless it's human it tends to be more vulnerable to extinction (smaller number of individuals and so forth).

Lots of easy things everyone can do (waste less, drive less, fly less, go vegan, sort out the house, etc.) but ultimately the responsibility must lie with governments--what individuals can do is all very fine, and important in its own right, but the big picture is still (for how much longer?) controlled by governments.

I'm no biologist either but I think that this argument doesn't really work as a lot of the less photogenic and equally endangered microfauna depend on very specific and minuscule habitats in which to survive (weird underground cave systems, deepsea vents, or the intestines of equally endangered mega-fauna). This is obviously also true of both the dodo and of the above bird, but animals like the panda and so on, less so I think.

If it's a question of biodiversity, then the parasites that live on and in the black rhino, for instance, represent a far greater aggregate loss than the rhino itself. Perhaps.
