SOLD

Bit of a LFGSS classic, back to the boards. I bought this from here, have loved it for a few years, now hoping someone takes it on and rides it as much as I did.

Eddy Merckx 650c Yellow lo pro.
Steel tubing. Teardrop aero profile on seat post. Rare.
Yellow frame, all black everything else.
Generic aero fork. Drilled, but not running a brake.
Sugino 75 crankset.
MKS chain tugs.
Nitto black risers.
3T quill stem.
Specialized Toupe saddle (brand new).
Miche super type seat post (comes with a brand new spare, so if you're having your saddle higher than me, you can switch out the box fresh one without scratches when you're dialled in)
Wheel set is H plus rims (formation) laced to Phil hubs (high flange). Radial front. 4x rear.
Chris King headset.

59cm (I'm 188cm), fits great. The reach is quite short without pursuit bars, so your arms and therefore torso are more upright. So it's no way as aggressive as you'd think. Surprising comfortable. Have done 200km rides before. Actually my road bike feels more aggressive, despite it being far more usual.

Few superficial marks on the frame, note on the top tube, and normal wear and tear elsewhere. Rides great. Been bullet proof for me.

£800 complete. Don't need a quick sale. Looking for by mid May. DM if interested.

Saddle and seatpost were stripped the other day on the stands by the Dishoom entrance near Brick Lane. A theft hotspot to be sure, but the guy was on it pretty immediately — so be warned.

Anyway, this has prompted me to get some security torq bolts finally. Which reveals an area of complete ignorance of mine. Bolt sizing.

So does anyone know the correct bolt size for:

Miche Supertype seatpost clamp
3T Record Quill Stem (the bolt that secures it into the steerer)

Spotted and DAS'ed that famous yellow Eddy Merckx lo-pro just outside Essex Road Station before 7pm. Zero reaction from rider.

Spotted him few weeks ago. Stunning build. Said "Nice Bike" to him but similar zero reaction :)

Would love to see photos of the build.

Just had these pointed out to me. Sorry to both. Didn't hear you noname, but DragunovCZ1, I'm sure I thanked you. Perhaps my voice is as weak as my hearing. Nice bike to you too.

Missing a DAS tho, must try harder...

Guy on a yellow Merckx lo-pro on Mare Street failing to track stand at 2 sets of lights. Gorgeous looking bike.

hahah i should just put a foot down when i've had a few.

as if brakeless freewheel wasn't annoying enough, headphones too? what a chief

(unless i've missed a coaster)

afraid rik pm'd first. now gone.

price bump.

flite is now free, just need to collect from by old st.

(i'm not gonna use it, and since there are no buyers.. may as well)

Nice black and yellow Eddie Merckx riding in along the hipster spice route this morning, accessorised perfectly with Kryptonite NY lock - I do like black and yellow bikes...

ola. that over colour matching is quite the stress. means i can never wear my favourite trainers.

me being a shameful nodder and not seeing a guy before i swerved in front on clerkenwell.

glad you had the awareness i lacked and managed to avoid.

very sorry.

O hai! Where were you? And yes, damn right it's about time you spotted me! :)

excellent. it was on the roundabout by the church on pitfield.

i do believe wools last night....

that is if he rides a blue BJ with yellow decals - hoping memory serves because it's about time i spotted him

evo mini is fine on front, even with the deepest rims. plenty of room don't worry.

there's a gorgeous baby blue fixie locked up all day m-f on charlotte st with one of those. it's a 14 build, and really quite nice.

but as much as i'd be using the mini fahg... it's still there after months.

Just bung the lock through the seatstays. Easy.

yeah i never understand why everyone doesn't do this. getting a lock over seattube and rear wheel is a pain in the ass, but seat stays gets the frame and wheel (assuming you lock under the rim), with loads of room.

altho it's so easy i was paranoid for ages that it was somehow foiled. (closes eyes ahead of potential correction)

near tottenham court road this morning...

a young chap on a black 50s ish 27 frame, but with 700c's, a bmx stem, bmx pedals, no retention, high and wide risers and brakeless!.

was doing hugely wobbly track stands at every junction, but just kept creeping forward and eventually giving up and RLJing. All in the context of a messenger calmly sitting on his top bar, foot down, on a lovely yellow concorde.

jesus wept.

confused

Nice try. I almost posted my own "POW!" so pleased was I with that open goal I banged home there. Hehe.

indeed. opportunities like that are a joy. without it you'd have had to articulate why it was incorrect not split up the never ending sentence. a hard task to do without making a mistake yourself.

reasonable stab at semi colon usage tho.

A load of bullshit fit for King's[sic].

*winky face.

perhaps he was referring to king's college. their english course is well thought of, but his standards could be even higher.

saw this this morning, going past me on new oxford st. didn't disappoint.

Is the bike alright? (priorities People).

no worries there.

you can do all you can, but sometimes peds really are desperate to get hit.

spotted:

the poor woman who sprinted out into the road in front of me this morning. harsh impact.

crying as she apologised. think she was ok.

altho the head to head impact did allow for comical 'glasses flying off face' opportunities.

What happen to the Ed Merckx???

oh it's not mine. it'd be in current projects if so.

ha no. i luckily had more to go from. 'rossin pista'

google did.
