for everybody who missed it.

Feel free to move/flame/whatever if it does exist, but I couldn't really find a thread where you can post up stories and more importantly pictures of component fails. So whether it happened to you, a mate or just a randomer; lets see your snapped carbon, buckled wheels and injuries.

To start, after riding it as a beater for a year I thought my Raleigh conversion was deserved some tlc. Following a few hours work removing braze-ons and a £40 blast and powder coat I'd finally got my fairly budget conversion looking alright (apologies for the pink brake had an 'ironic' moment).

Second ride after building her back up again this happened.

Cheers!

I wasn't willing to spend more than the combined cost of the frame and powder coat on getting the dropouts changed for what will always be a compromise of a bike. So err here's the new whip!

Lack of character and nasty welds aside Couldn't be happier with this setup for the price of frame and forks.

Bought myself a little project. Needs a really good clean, hoping to learn a bit about disassembly/cleaning. First generation Super Ikonta I believe.

My girlfriend has this camera, be careful with the folding mechanism it is very fragile as I'm sure you've found. Takes beautiful pictures though!

Some bellend t'other day was attempting to draft me in rush hour traffic on Great Eastern st to the point where he was clipping my rear tire regularly. There were plenty of opportunities to overtake, nevertheless he decided to sit on my back wheel all the way to Clerkenwell. Was so tempted to take him out with a little speed check, I'm sure his face would have done a better job of stopping him than his SS rear brake only arrangement!

so err £810 anyone... :-s

Open to offers really don't want to have to chuck it on ebay.

Just noticed some light marks on the head tube from the cables, nothing too major here's a picture.

bump

I'm out of town for the next few days but I'll have a think about it.

Have a free bump anyway!

Also note that it says scuro frame-size C to Top not Nero RC whether this is just a typo or these are actually the scuro measurements I'm not sure, I only just noticed it.

Be careful using this sizing chart (this is what I did originally). When I can get on the website (it's messing around at the moment) they give an altered value by which to multiply your inseam measurement for their sloping top tube frames. I'm 6'2 suggesting that I would need the T54 Large. The thing is I have quite long legs and the seat-post isn't quite long enough to get a comfortable and efficient pedal stroke with this frame. This also means there is a TT'esque difference between seat and bar height even after flipping the stem which is very uncomfortable on anything over 50 miles. If you are worried about fit use a combination of the frame size recommendations above and inseam measurement.

Yes the bike is still complete.

Hi everyone, I'm selling my road frame and forks as I stupidly ordered the wrong size and can't return it. The frame is a 2011 Ribble Nero RC. Being carbon of course the frame is laterally stiff, vertically compliant ;-) pretty light too! Here's a link to the bike radar review . I loved the frame so much that I just ordered the size up! Its only done about 150 miles (yes it took me that long to realise it was too small) and has no discernible marks or scratches. As I'm sure you'll know these frames are designed and built for Ribble by Dedacciai so the quality of both ride and finish goes with out saying.

The frame is a 54cm Large (sloping geometry sizing) which equates to about a 56-57cm so will suit a rider of 5'8" to 6'0" (I'm 6'2" don't know what I was thinking! )

Full RRP for frame and forks is £720
Online price for frame and forks from Ribble is £580

I'm asking for £500 posted £480 Collected from Bournemouth or London

Note: This price does not include headset, bottom bracket or seat clamp.

Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Nearly did a 'hipster trash compactor" at Old Street/Golden Lane junction this morning, green-light, stationary traffic.
