pm'd.

A full carbon bike which has on it very few miles (3000 km tops). In perfect condition, not even cosmetic scratches. The frame is stiff and light, the gearing responsive. SRAM Rival group. DT Swiss wheels. Thomson stem and seatpost.

It's a great ride and I am simply not using it enough. I am asking for 800 pounds.

SOLD. thanks lfgss!

Yes, 26" indeed.
Apologies for the confusion.

thanks! looks great

Something like this could actually be quite great: Custom Mountain Bike Handlebar With Lights - YouTube

awesome! wish i had the time to make that rig

Thieves will tear anything off if they fancy. Good lights cost more than 40 Quid. The best solution I've found is to have good removable lights. Two mounting systems I think are quite good: O-ring (Lupine and copy-cats) and, despite your reservations, Cat-eye (a number of makers design around them). There are an increasing number of good lightweight and very bright LED based lamps with Lithium battery technology available. One of my lamps that uses the CatEye mount is called "Force Flow", weighs only 250g (including mounting hardware, battery etc.) and delivers >900 Lm of light. Its battery is only 6x4x3cm large but at 5ah is sufficient to run for 3h. To put it on and off a bicycle I find it more confortable than even my Lupine--- which I like to use when going from bicycle to bicycle, especially in the winter. There are also a number of extremely competitive Chinese LED lamps out there .. all cost more than 40 Quid but even if 20..

thanks for the pointer to lupine. i'll check them out.

I really wanted to do away with the plastic mounts. I can't seem to find these "force flows". Could you point me ?

Hi,
I just measured the frame:

• the seat tube (min height of saddle to BB) = 21inches
  
• effective top tube (mid pt of saddle to stem) = 21 inches
  
• pedals = 175cm
  wheels are 700c if i am not mistaken.
  

To be honest, I am going to have to measure it. I will do it tonight and let you know!

Vintage steel phillips frame. It is in good condition and ready to ride. The frame bears some chips and scratches, consistent with it's age. The worst chipping is on the head-tube.

Had to change the brake pads from the originals to new ones. Cables and chain were also replaced at the same time two months ago. My gf is 5'3" and is the perfect size for her, but the frame feels too heavy for her.

She is looking for 150gbp.

Any recommendations for a good set of lights < 40 pounds, that can be fixed semi-permanently to the frame? Nothing to easy to steal that is..

I really want to avoid those ugly large plastic attachments that often come with cateye lights. Minimal is good.

bring those aero bars forward and you can make the hour record.

Sugoi, if you are into bauhaus, this looks amazing:

to me that's a no brainer... you are touring some of the best climbs in the alps. Take the road bike and do it in style!
Yes, it is annoying (and more expensive) to have to deal with accomodation,etc. but you'll get to enjoy the climbs way more. You'll get better rest and a much better climb experience. If you plan in advance, you don't have to spend a fortune either.

I would suggest you do the longer, but much more scenic route, on the coast. Depends on the number of days you have. Also avoid the cities: traffic will slow you down and the best part of new england is the countryside.
