MickeyG, I'd pm'd Chris a while before your post. Sorry, should I have dibbsed it instead?I don't really know how forum etiquette works, whether dibs takes priority over pm or what. All a bit confusing!

Dibs, following pm discussion.

Done

bars, brakes and stem combo pls. PM on way.

Thanks James and sorry I should have said water resistant, rather than waterproof. I haven't worn this one in heavy rain, but in my experience, soft shell stands up ok to a fairly heavy shower, but not to heavy rain for an extended period of time. It will start to let in water if it pools anywhere for a length of time (e.g. between a bag and jacket). It is very breathable, much more so than a true waterproof jacket.

The fleece isn't removable. It's a standard soft shell type - soft waterproof membrane which is sort of fleecy on the inside. It's quite a warm jacket. Fine through winter with a layer or two. Probably a little bit warm for a day like today.

Gore soft shell camo jacket in size medium.

Bought this last winter, in a hurry. Doesn't fit very well, so haven't worn it much - maybe 10 times. Pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/36275717@N08/ - sorry they are a bit rubbish - I can do some more in better light tonight, if nec.

Anyway, jacket is this one, but from last year. http://www.evanscycles.com/products/gore-bike-wear/cosmo-plus-windstopper-soft-shell-jacket-ec016061. Jacket is wind and water proof, two reflective strips on back.

£159 in Evans, think you can get them for about £139 if you hunt around online. Looking for £75.

As the title says, rear wheel. WI ENO eccentric hub, fixed/free, with black mavic 26 inch XC717 rim. V good condition. £130.

CTC President Jon Snow's bike was stolen last week:

http://twitpic.com/h6xa5

There's a reward.

Saw Jon Snow looking a bit lashed, seemingly attacking a bush whilst trying to lock up a bike on Monday night. All duchamp tie-ed up after the news.

tektro and shimano brakes pls.

I can street car, if you like.

I bought the bottom Abus version and didn't use it, ended up getting the top version and using that. Both are fine, you can get a decent sized chain through the top on and more through the bottom. The bottom one is very heavy.

The difficulty I had and the reason I ended up using the top one was that you need a pretty big drill bit, as the attachment screws are massive - about 16mm for the top bracket and bigger for the bottom one, as I recall. Which is fine, except that some basic drills will only just take a 16mm bit, no bigger. Mind wouldn't and it cost me less to buy the top bracket than a new drill.

Some little scrotes tried to steal the bikes that were locked to the bracket, they attacked the abus chain and the bracket, but didn't manage to cut through either.

I still have the bigger bracket kicking about. I can get it out for you if you want to have a look...

In response to konijn, there are caps to go over the screws that apparently are a complete arse to remove... but I've never tried tbh...

My colleague witnessed this, I've just seen the aftermath. Cyclist and bus. Road is closed both ways. Looks awful.
