Hmm, Italian driving definitely keeps you on your toes, although I feel just as wary on British roads as I did on Italian roads. Into the countryside the traffic lessens a lot and my experience was generally pretty damn good apart from the off flying fiat! careful of some of the tourist coaches near Florence though!
Have an amazing time. when are you heading out there? -
Morning Forty45, sent you a PM, the stem clamp is 25.4...... Let me know if you could make it work and if you'd still like it....
The Deep V wheel and the Gatorskin are being taken by edgar through PM earlier. If anything falls through for whatever reason I'll update asap.....

Afternoon folks,
So got a few things that have been sat in my parts bin for a long time, and with upcoming plans to head off for a few months of travel I'm trying to lighten my packing load to reduce storage bills!
There are some bike parts, some miscellaneous bits and bobs too....
There may be more added to the thread as well later on...Dibs are good but cash is king, please PM after dibbing to confirm and organise pick up/drop off...
I live in SE15 but for most things am happy to drop more central, will also post the smaller items (at cost) if need be...
Couple of photos of all the items for sale.
**
Barsets**
**
SR Royal deep track drops and SR Royal stem**. Lovely shaped bars and stem set. The bars do have some scratches but nothing too bad. Lovely engraved flat section near the clamp position. With some long grips or tape these would be a lovely vintage addition.
Bar width 420mm a drop of around 170mm. Stem length is 120mm. Clamp 25.4
**£30 for the set, will split if need be. £25 bars £8 stem **
**
No brand high riser style bars and SR custom stem set**. I bought these bars recently for a porteur style setup but didn't really get on with the ride height. Only used a handful of times. No scratches and a nice chrome finish.
Bar width 450mm huge rise of 100mm and a slight sweep back to the grip position. Stem length is 100mm, Clamp 25.4
Good for (very) upright and laid back position riding!
Practically brand new and cost £15
SOLD
**MTB riser barset. **Azonic double wall riser bars with Race Face stem.
Lovely feeling downhill/freeride bars. Strong as you like and fairly light too.
Gloss black, 640mm wide, 50mm ride. 25.4 clamp width. Stem length 90mm
**£25 for the set, will split if need be £18 bars £10 stem.
Wheel Stuff
Gold Deep V fixed/fixed rear wheel.
**As it says on the tin. A deep V wheel that is gold.
System X hub that runs smoothly, threads on both sides are all good, true wheel but with a slight ding shown in the picture. This doesn't affect the ride at all. Lovely wheel but I've got no use for it right now....
(tyre shown is just to protect it, you can have it if you like but its just a worn out old specialized one)
**SOLD
Unbranded 18t sprocket. **Bought but I haven't used it, a few marks of discolouration but looks like very little wear, threads are fine.
**£5
Continental Ultra Gatorskin. **Don't even think its been used, but its just getting in the way and I'm not going to be able to use it for about 8 months anyway so someone else may as well have it....
700c (pretty sure its a 23C, haven't got it in front of me so will confirm later)
Excellent condition
Sold pending payment to edgar

My heart sank again when I saw that black logo. RIP rider. Be safe out there everyone. x

Very jealous of your trip, a couple of years ago I rode through Tuscany and it was one of the most glorious parts of my European trip. Such beautiful scenery, fantastic roads, slightly less crazy driving than nearer the coast, and food to die for.
I travelled across the country and two of the most enjoyable roads I found have Siena in the middle! The SR222 from outside Florence to Siena and the SR438 from Siena travelling SW. The SR222 is a lovely hilly road, passing through the Chianti region, fantastic vineyards and lovely villages, quite a few coaches due to the proximity to the most tourist saturated cities in the world but once you are a few miles away it feels like a different more tranquil and real part of Tuscany.
Siena itself is a really great city to wander and I can't wait for the opportunity to go back.
The other route that sticks in my memory follows the SS438 which cuts through beautiful farmland and follows a ridge that climbs to give the most awesome views of vinyards and farms all around. The roads passes through Asciano, a perfect Tuscan village with really very good food, You can then wiggle your way to Sinalunga and climb up to the hilltop town of Montepulciano, (about 70km from Siena) drink fabulous wine then probably do the same route back as its so lovely!
Enjoy your time there UG! -
2nd dibs on the SR quill stem if anything goes wrong with martyn1's dibs..... PMing now....

RIP rider, one more is always one too many.

RIP lady rider. Got an awful shiver through my spine when I saw the black logo. Be careful out there everyone. x

Thanks for that guys, sounds like it makes sense, will give it another fettle when I'm back at home.... Cheers Rodabod for the offer of spares....

Hello all...
I've finally got round to giving my Gazelle road bike a bit of a going over ready for the summer (much overdue) I've stripped pretty much everything and getting round to replacing the parts that are a bit spent.
I've come to the rear derailleur, a Campag Victory number like this one.
I've taken it apart, cleaned it all up and put it back together again. The problem I've got is the spring that controls the jockey wheel position.
The only reason I've not gone out and found a replacement is that the spring appears to be drawing the jockey wheels the opposite direction, towards the front of the bike meaning the chain, when looped through is not in tension at all and in effect the derailleur appears redundant.
I was hoping that someone could tell me if I've been a total weapon and put it back together wrongly or if indeed it sounds like the spring is fucked and probably needs a partial/full replacement....
Thanks in advance. Here are a couple of images if my beautiful description (!) alone isn't as clear as mud.

Cheers DJ but I've already got plans to drive down to Leith with a couple of mates who aren't 'on here' and reorganising them is a nightmare at the best of times let alone the night before a ride! Will definitely get to Swinley (or wherever) with you guys next time though, its been too long since I've been mtbing and pretty sure it'll only take a few minutes riding dirt to be fully hooked again!
Have a good ride everyone who does head to Swinley tomorrow..... -
After a few years of riding full sus when mountain biking, tomorrow I'm off out on my rigid on-one inbred for some muddy jolty pureness! I can't even remember the last time I did mtbing without some kind of suspension, bloody excited!
We're heading down to the North downs if any other folks are out there.... give us a wave as you fly past on your bouncy bikes! -
I know its a long shot that you're still wanting some Smallfurry, what with it being around 5 months ago but I've been looking just now for myself and found these, not the most beautiful but will fit at least.

Well, should do, depends if you're running discs I think, I'm trying to find some mid width ones (tyres are 26" x 1.60) that I can fit to a frame with disc mounts, may have to bastardise some fittings, should be do-able.....
**Actually, apologies, just re-read your post, not sure they'll fit 2.5" tyres. Sorry....
Will leave this post here though......

Rode past this just after you Tom. Ambulance and police still in attendance, the injured man still on the ground. From what I could make out he was wearing road cycling shoes and a red cycling team top, moving traffic meant I couldn't see any more identifying clothing/items. Really hope he's ok, it didn't look great, couldn't be sure what happened but he was on the side of the road heading onto Euston Road from Judd Street.
As I rode past it gave me a real devastating chill right to my core.
Fingers crossed its not as bad as it looked. -
Fuck, what a waste of life. RIP buddy.
*note to self, do not go on daily mail website for all of hell is displayed there.

RIP Rider.....

My heart just dropped when I saw the black logo. RIP rider, Thoughts go out to friends and family.

Brilliant stage today, taking a look at the map, I did pretty much this route when I did a European tour last year, the Picos de Europa are just magical to ride through, that last climb is an absolute sod though, not to mention that to get from Santander to Fuente De took me 4 days rather than 4 and a half hours!
-
Yep, I'm going to head down to this one too hopefully... NT@6:30/7:00
-
I was down this way through the New Forest and Bournemouth over the bank hol, was awesome, would love to do it again on two wheels, unfortunately I'm so damn busy with work theres no way. Have a good ride all who are lucky enough to go....

Nice work Laura! spot on.....
