Tranz x skewers still up for sale...

The Bob has now sold. Final price drops all round too. I also have some Tranz X security skewers, (wheels and seat post) hardly used for £5

Price drop on the frame to £220 before it goes to the bay.

Don't really want to post to be honest. PM'd you Guylo

Will get another pic up sometime tomorrow BrickMan. But no deep cuts or scrapes, they're in good shape.

Forgot to add FroggLeg Cantilever brakeset in white. Pretty much brand new condition, used very briefly PRICE DROP £15

A few things for sale in a bid to clear out before a house move.

Bob Jackson Super Tourist frame 55cm. It's 531, in metallic blue (perhaps more metallic than the pics would suggest). Was told it was built in the 90's by the previous owner. Condition is great save for the odd blemish on the paintwork and some of the lug paint has worn off. Has a Stronglight headset installed, which would probably appreciate a bit of grease. Lovely frame. SOLD

Collection preferred from Stoke Newington. Can arrange a more central meet round Soho way too. Thanks!

Dibs on chainset, both mechs and potentially campag shifters too. PM forthcoming.

3rd dibs groupset please!

Ha! 'A courier'. Overdrive will be turning in his pre-grave. I'm the folding prince of fakengers.

Sorry to hear you'd been knocked off by another rider. My sense of timing and appropriacy are still up to scratch :/

Fear not folding prince of fakengers, it lightened the mood and took my attention away from the newly acquired gammy wrist.

A courier riding some sort of folding bike shouting 'do a skid' as I was exchanging details with another cyclist who'd just knocked me off on margery street. Would have obliged if I'd still been atop the bike.

It's up on the bay now folks:

Saw this on eBay. Connected it would seem, doesn't really shed any light on the mystery, but perhaps you could contact the seller?

Bought a Bikebox from here:

http://thebikeboxcompany.co.uk/

for a recent trip to the US. My bicycle made it back in the condition it went and the case itself is still in tip top condition. It comes with wheel bags, a little trinket bag and a couple of foam square things. I'll also throw in some of that foam pipe cladding too.

The weight was about 26kg with a 54cm Bob Jackson inside. It's not the build quality of a bikeboxalan say, but it withstood the BA baggage handlers with nary a scratch.

Paid 150 for it, looking to get 100 clams (5 of which to be donated to the forum). You can store 2 fully sized adults in this thing, so you'll need to come collect from Stoke Newington.

Thanks all
Tim

Hey guys and girls!
This is my great-grandfather Ernest in 1907, just after he won £100 in a race on a cinder track.
Fixed gear ...

That is absolutely awesome... He's dashing like Gregory Peck but on a fixed!

Thanks Braker and Dayno, and also thanks be to Cavendish Cycles who helped source and build a lot of it.

Now I do like that. if you could get those yellow stickers off it'd b perfect.... until the white gets dirty

Yes the stickers have gone now, quite rightly. I'm hoping the white gets dirty in a way so the rims might match the 'white' san marco bought from ebay.

First time posting in this thread for me. Having had my Lemond Filmore snatched a few months back by some little poindexter, I decided to splurge some cash and build up this little beauty. I BLOODY LOVE THE THING.

And here for your amusement is the face behind the wheels:

Oh man, that massively sucks, so sorry to hear about this. Could you shed any more light on the situation, locks used, how long it was left for and so on. Can't believe the amount of scum out there sometimes. Bastards. Absolute bastards. My eyes are peeled.

This is the best thread I've ever seen, Peekay, your dog is AMAZING.

No constructive suggestions though I'm afraid...

That blows massive goats. Sorry to hear about another theft. I will be out scoping Brick Lane for my stolen Filmore myself at some point tomorrow, so will keep eyes peeled for yours too.

+1 to above comments about CCTV. Those fuckers

PHer, that Filmore is not actually mine. I had the fairly crappy stock wheels on too! Those ones do look nice on that pic, found it on the google image search and used it due to the bull horns.

Insurance ran out but 2 weeks ago - would have had to have been a white lie about the lock used too...

Thanks for the support folks. If I get any miraculous luck I'll update

An update to this debacle is that the CCTV is in fact fake. Bumflaps. Apparently forensics are involved now(!) and they are collecting snipped crappy chain from me later.

Thanks for the limerick Mobidog, you can always depend on the power of rhyme to ease the pain of a stolen ride. And here is hoping my Bob will look half as slick as yours Ed. It's a good job I ordered it NINE WEEKS AGO. It won't come a day too soon now - squashed on a bus for the commute till then.

Thanks for the sympathetic replies all. I will have a look round Brick Lane, but I've a distinct feeling that's the last I'll be seeing of that one. The only thing that softens the blow is that I've a Bob Jackson coming from Cavendish any day now. But still, the Filmore was an excellent steed while it lasted.

One things for sure, I'll NEVER again think it'll be 'OK' to just use a crappy cable lock, no matter how secure things might seem.
