SOLD

Sold pending collection
Sunday.

I’d say it is a bargain. Not sure on colour. I’ve had it 6 years. Bought off this forum and owned before that.

I’m 6ft 1 and it fits just right.

It’s good from 5ft11 through to 6ft3 in my non expert opinion. :-)

Price drop —>>> now £500

I’m leaving the country and want this gone. Have a day by the seaside and ride home!

Hi there,

It’s seen light use, just child carrying duties... a few scratches but good condition.

Ultegra group with 105 cranks
Rigida Grizzly 700c carbon coated rims on XT hubs
Marathon Plus tyres
Brooks B17 saddle
XF90mm stem
TRP canti brakes
MKS pedals
Chris King headset

Located in Brighton, £575

Leaving the country hence reason for sale. Owned for a couple of years. Bought off a chap in Brighton who bought it off Toby Price. See:

http://www.lfgss.com/thread69917.html

It's now got a Brooks saddle and slightly shorter stem. I'm 6ft1 and fits just right.

Based in Hanover BN2 for viewings - 650 quid

Im looking for something with light use and/or built in the last few years... With this in mind the budget could be up around £500-£700ish.

PM if you have something.

Hi,

Moved to Brighton.

Want a Brompton ASAP.

Ideally an S2, but any considered if in good condition.

Get in touch if you have one and want to move it on.

Thanks, Martin

Who did I see this morning at Stockwell lights? Can't remember their name, but I keep on thinking Gormley, but it wasn't him.

Yellow Witcomb, that's me, Cookie (Martin) - Saw you nr Vauxhall last week too - Haven't been to Souths for too long - I may make an appearance soon!

@ Dammit

Yellow Witcomb's mine... Pre Maloney model ... Got in there just before Barry sold up!

I was drinking on Cut too - Good stationary spot ;-) Cookie

Hey,

Just rewrapped drops and looking for any thoughts on how to secure plugs so they don't get nicked/fall out - I seem to be good at losing them!

Thought I remembered a suggestion on the forum but search didn't come up anything.

They're Cinelli plugs, not gold plated, but I seem to remember Roberto selling them so there must be some appeal... Aside from the obvious excrement route anyone ever bothered with glue or something like that?

Cheers, Cookie

Illy crossing Vassell Rd yesterday am - I was too sleepy to shout

@ BRM - I managed to slide in that diesel and land on my arse this morning - I feel better now knowing what it was... no permanent damage which is good!

Hello all,

I'm in the process of building up my first fixed and wanted some opinion on what length of cranks to go for...

I've read about pedal strike and so 165mm cranks seem the way to go, but could I get away with 170mm? Ive seen a few on ebay that look nice, but is this foolish on a track frame?

Say hi if you see me around SE5 - I'm geared (for now) on a lurvely Reynolds 753 pug in blue.... Cheers, Cookie

I work advising people with criminal records what to do when they're having CRB checks so I should know about this stuff

basically, there is no formal definition of a criminal record but it is generally understood to be a finding of guilt in court. i.e. you have to go to court to get a record. So if you get a fine on the street this is not a criminal record. If you thought f*ck that I aint paying the fine.... take it to court, and lose, you would be given a punishment (prob bigger fine) and then you would have a criminal record :-(

ive been pulled at lights a cpl of times and found that the 'terribly sorry' approach avoids fines, even though inside I wish they'd piss off and do some proper policing...

btw PJ - If you had got a fine the chances of it appearing on an enhanced CRB are almost zilch!

Hey kowalski

Barry is/has built you a frame right?

If so any tips on managing the experience ;-) He seems busy - How long did it take start to finish?

Give Barry Witcomb a call... He's got 50 years of experience and is in Deptford... I've seen quite a few bikes in his workshop that look like they should be melted down for scrap cos they're soooo damaged but he confidently said "no problems... new tube here, weld there"

he's pretty busy but might be worth a call, Good luck!
