Whoops! Sorry, not been here in a while so didn't know the rules. I have learned my lesson. Will post them properly if they fail to sell on eBay.

Another Rapha classic, these shorts are brand new, charcoal grey, size 32'' waist.

Now discontinued, they're incredibly difficult to find in new condition.

I've listed them on eBay here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110833622587?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Feel free to bid on there, or pm me with a reasonable offer here. Looking for around £80.

Can post, or arrange collection from Tufnell Park or Soho.

dibs on black rolls!

having taken it apart, i'm looking for at least 7 inches worth of steerer (2 inches of which threaded). also gonna need it posted. nothing fits the bill as yet. any others lurking out there?

sam

easy all,

got mowed down by a mercedes saloon last week and now the front end of my vintage pinarello looks like a dali painting. looking for some shiny chrome forks to replace the old ones, think they were 1 inch and threaded.
preferably looking for sloping shoulders too. kinda desperate as I need to get training for the london - brighton ride in june.

cheers,
sam

That blasted recession cost me my job so don't go tellin me to buy new saddles. I an't spendin nuffin nowhere sonny jim! Luckily, before i turned skint, I picked up a gorgeous old pinarello frame off Jos n Keith. I'm halfway through finishing it and reckon this is one job I can do on a budget.

Perhaps...

Easy.My beautiful old Selle Italia, 'Mundialita' cloth saddle has been rubbed and ripped raw by my sand-paper crotch.I've bought some pimpin black/white polka dot cloth to re-cover it, but i'm hesitant...The part that needs covering seems to be glued down and i'm worried that I might screw up the whole saddle by ripping it off.Has anyone tried this before? Has anyone suceeded at this before?! Has anyone got any tips?

Oh my giddy aunt.

Actually addressing sammartingell, cunt.

Where's my cheese?!

You calling me a cunt?
I hate hippies.

Ps. I live in a cold, hard corner of Leeds at the mo, and ride around the dales and moors. No shopping centres there.

Basically, I'm sick to death of having to clean my ears of the words "Oi mate! Where's yer brakes?", left there like crumpled packets of lambert & butler by morons I have the misfortune to encounter, currently at the astonishing rate of about 3-4 per day.

I ride brakeless, and I like it, but for reasons that can't be expressed in any kind of witty one-liner.

So, I ask the forum:

What's your best response to the question, "where's yer brakes?".

Sam

'Allo,

Are they 165's? Can't be doing with anything longer!

so errr. thanks for the help.

gonna sit and wait to see what happens with the bidding on those campy 165s. if it doesn't get too silly i'm going for them! otherwise i guess i'll plump for the stronglights, felling their simple aesthetic over the primatos.

word to all your mothers.

allo eyebrows,

'fraid i'm out of the bidding for those deda bars - just couldn't find a nice old quill stem to fit the fatties!

exactly pajamas, it's a toughie. for a fleeting moment i wished i never picked up the yello' 'rello, but it passed pretty quickly!
feel free to suggest any cheaper options though, or throw any used cranks you might have into the mix.

a little context:
first fixed gear. first build. have learned lots from reading, but nothing from experience. want to know i'm spending the better part of 100 greens where i should be.

• i vote for the one BMMF likes the best :)

Whilst i usually adhere to the belief that voting is a complete waste of ink, this ain't no general election - this is some serious shiz.
Uncle Sam needs you! VOTE NOW!

The second set look reasonable (i'm dead skint). Was holding out for some nice 165s, but i dunno, what are people's thoughts on 170s on a fixed? Guess I'll just have to take them corners niiiice and sloooow!

Here's my frame.

Have been trying to call 'em today but can't get through.
My 'rello's pretty vintage. Take a look. Do you think they'd go?

I'm not sure if I shouldn't just get the standard stronglight track cranks off Hubjub. Think they're going for 70-something squid with the chainring.
Decisions decisions.
