My Flatmate had my bike stolen outside whitechapel hospital this morning (well the frame, wheels and seat/post are mine and he had built it up and was using it, so we're both really gutted)
Very distinctive 62 cm yellow Eddy Merckx, chrome and black bits with bullhorns, if you see it please slap a lock on it and call Mike on 07577656161 - thanks

A friend of mine in Berlin is selling some nice italian steel:

Dancelli - Full Campy
http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/182638504736?

Vintage Alan Rowona

http://www.ebay.com/itm/182638502348?

Pinarello . Suntour Superb Pro
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Italian-bicycle-Pinarello-Treviso-51-Yellow-/182638498655?hash=item2a861a535f:g:56oAAOSwuMZZNHYr

He's open to negotiations on price as well...

mine has more sloping fork crows though, do yours also have the 51.151 pantographing?

I've got that same bike! Built it up with all Italian Parts from 1972-1985. I think mines a 1984, in exactly the same finish, so yours could be a similar year. Rides like a dream but never heard of the DeRosa connection

Have had a pair of those, and they squish my ears as they sit on, not over. I also find the clamp quite tight

Headphones - talk to me.

I don't want anything open, I want to be able to Mix with them, but also for out and about, so no crazy bass, I want high quality sound but not completely flat.

I have been considering:

Mad Dogs Pro
AKG 500
BeyerDynamic Custom One Pro

Anyone know these, or any better ones they'd recommend? Happy to spend around £200, and I don't want to have to use a headphone amp.

I have recently been extremely fortunate to have come into the possession of several turn of the century cyclery catalogues with a wealth of historical information and some gorgeous technical and artistic imagery. I'm in the process of securing copyrights, and will be selling them with an artist friend.

There's an opportunity to turn some of these plates into limited, high quality reproductions for sale as wall art, point of sale promotion pieces, etc.

I have attached a couple of very low resolution images below to give any interested people a flavour of what I'll be producing. the prints will be A3 sized, archive quality inks on matt unbleached cardstock, they will also be available framed if required.

PM for more details and examples, I'm a little wary of posting them on the internet for obvious reasons.

Please help find my friend's bike - Her description:

I want my fucking bicycle back. It's no one else's but mine; it was built specially for my 30th and is one of my most prized possessions, not to mention my means of transport. A very distinctive large Pashley, blue, whitewall tyres, Brooks saddle, quick release basket and blue & white polka dot pannier (not in pic). Stolen from askew rd W12 sat 22nd Feb.[/IMG]

thanks - booked a guaranteed pass course with Car Captain...

sure am, been off the bike with a badly broken arm for the past three months / winter / bought a Land Rover, so just been lurking for a bit!

resurrecting this thread - I have driven on a provisional in various countries for over 10 years now, and consider myself a good driver, but I know there are probably things I need to relearn in order to pass my UK test. I've passed the theory, and need to get a course of lessons in order to pass my test. Does anyone know of a good instructor, who would do an intensive refresher course? I need to get my full license within the next month or so.

dibs !

I'm considering getting the M1 because they're lightweight, good looking and black - would like to know if anyone's tried these, or if there's a store which stock them?

PM'd re wheels

What width are the rims of the wheel set? what's the widest tyre they could take, 32mm?

Provisional dibs for a friend

2nd dibs on the DA mech just in case

dibs cinelli bar and stem combo if stem length is 80-100 mm

are these still available?

What does 'rare sale' mean?

How have you tested the bike there in Cambridge?

Is it 'quite fast'? how do you quantify this?

So many questions, but I need to know more about this smooth machine before I drop
£325

Hi is the seat tube CTC or CTT?

What tubing is it?

How much does the bike weigh?

Are the photos from before or after cleaning?

PM'd re DA stem

re MKS - if you sand and polish them, they dont look too bad, and better than scuffing up the originals when leaning against walls, kerb pedal strike, etc

yeah nice 10 speed ring on that 'track' crank too.

CODA were lovely MTB components in the 90's though!
