still available...

£100 front, £110 rear or £200 for pair. As I said I can't be arsed to split rims/spokes/hubs. You can take or leave the tires - I don't need them and they're a bitch to get off, seriously if you can take them off when you pick them up i'll knock off a fiver (you can even borrow my levers).

if someone can price up all those parts listed in the quote (including the shipping) then add a reasonable amount for labour and it be under £200, then not only will you be a top banana, i'll also eat my hat and drop the price to match

i don't really agree with flaming a company because you don't like their prices. it takes a lot more to rent shop and employ mechanics than it does to rent a storage unit and register your business in jersey. i chose to support my local bike shop and i don't regret the decision for a second.

i've attached the quote as my figures in the original post were questioned.

wheels still available. sorry but can't be arsed to split unless you find takers for the other bits.

offers?

Ok ok. Price dropped

SOLD

H+Son / H plus Son 700c 36h Chrome Wheelset, BLB hubs, Black Mamba Tyres, 18t BLB sprocket + lockring

These come as you see the in the picture - complete with tyres, tubes, sprocket, lockring.

I've had them 6 months, and they've only seen light commuting so are in pretty good condition with only a couple of minor scratches and slight front brake wear, even the tyres are next to new! These are solid as hell, built by Brick Lanes Bikes.

Bought for £428 but they have to go so make me an offer.

G'wan get yourself some summer bling..

Thanks for looking.

Serious Q to the OP but I'm intrigued to know what you wanted to achieve from this thread?

I wanted to achieve making people think about what their actions do for the public perception of cyclists. I have been a cunty cyclist too but punching pedestrians without a reason is beyond cunty in my book.

Did you think the perp might be ON HERE?

I thought it was 50/50.

Do you think we need to be told that going round on a fixed gear bike punching people at random isn't cool?

I don't know who you're refering to but clearly some people either don't realise or don't give shit.

I was crossing the road by the Snooty Fox (N5) about an hour ago when a guy, on what looked like a fixie, decided to speed up in my direction in order to dispatch a swift punch to my shoulder. I was already on the pavement so I really think that in this case it was rather unjustified.

I just wanted to come on here and point out that most people already seem to hate cyclists so WHY THE F*$K give them any more of a reason.

Don't be a tool to society whilst cycling your bike in the hood.

Rant over.

my bianchi pista (decals removed) was nicked on saturday night from outside dalston kingsland station, its got polished h plus son sl 42's attached with those new solid axel pinheads so should be recogniseable, mostly blb parts apart from that.

if by any chance you see it listed anywhere please pass it on, the police would like a word...

ta

Just had my wheels stolen from directly outside the Sebright Arms - opposite the seating area no less. It happened between 8pm and 10.30pm.

They are/were H plus Son SL42's (with the braking surface) - black with black spokes and nipples on black blb hubs 32h. They're quite old and I have run a brake on both of them so the front braking surface in particular is quite worn. One is also missing the sticker that sits above the valve hole. The front has a Maxxis Re-fuse tire, the back a brand new armadillo elite Roubaix. There is a Miche 18 tooth sprocket on one side and a Shimano freewheel on the other.

Those are the details.

I don't expect to see these again but be warned that area might be being targeted at the moment - on the way home I spoke to a guy from the bike shop on Hackney road (near Hoxton station) and he said I was the third person tonight that he'd seen walk past sans wheels.

If you are offered these wheels please take the opportunity to perform some street justice and thrust your foot or any other heavy object into the vendors genitals and/or abdomen.

...beware people voting for T's they think are funny, but wouldn't actually want to buy.

well said imho. i still treasure my penguin t-shirt from a few years back - more like that please!

just posted these on ebay...

i think you are being a bit pedantic. its a bike, its not meant to look like the virgin mary.

failing that.

I actually tried that, i bought this one:

It didn't look so great though - the ink is shiny, and you still get the black-silver-black because of the braking surface..

I prefer fastidious to pedantic.

is it black anodisation or paint?

paint stripper wont work on anodisation use oven cleaner for that. there are many threads on cleaning anodised metal

on second look yea, i think it might be anodised - its got that matt look/feel, its a h plus son in case anyone can confirm?

i did some photoshop visuals at the weekend though and i think i prefer black, just wish they weren't so tatty now..

visuals.. since this photo i've removed the decals and rear brake and put risers on it

VS.

Its not really a full on restoration, hence the thread title, but my black rims have gotten really tatty and scratched over the winter, also they are/were black so the scratches show up more and look like shit.

I would respray them/get them resprayed but the same thing will inevitably happen again eventually so i was thinking of stripping whats left of the black finish and just having the bare aluminium exposed..

Does anyone have any experience of this? Research suggests paint stripper and steel wool will work, but someone warned me this could make them look worse.. Any suggestions on how to make the rims look good again, sans paint?

ta very much

Silver Nitto Risers - B-259AA etc..

Anyone?

update for anyone who might be looking for these -

condor have them in pairs
camden cycles have them available seperately

hey, c'mon!

my original question was has anyone seen these in london - i searched 5 shops yesterday after work and have spent at least an hour googling! tool maybe, lazy - no way hozay!

also my frogs are still going after a year on the same batteries so my knog-xperience has been good

cateyes have ugly annoying mounts that break (apparently, see above).. if there was another manufacturer that used silicon then sure.. but for now its knogs or bust

I phoned Moore Large, the front boomers arrived in the uk last week, apparently it is unlikely anywhere has them yet... good effort all round. Offer expired.

close, but no cigar.

FRONT Boomer, on its own too..

If you can find me a front boomer in london, no fuck it, the UK, on google/bing/whatever i'll give you £10!

helpful answers only please! I know how to use a search engine..

d-goods:
i tried out a rear in BLB yesterday, they're bright as - bit difficult to turn off but i'm sure you'd get used to it...

Anyone know where to get these bad-boys in London? Tried BLB, 14, Evans, Cycle Surgery.. but no luck!
