What company is the go to for posting bikes now? Can't seem to find a company willing to post a bike box longer than 120cm. The box I have is 140cm.

Really really good

Can anyone advise what to look for to get best "bang for buck" on a second hand iPhone? Looking to spend ~£200

Thinking of selling my Pompino - OG Pomp with a carbon fork. Anyone able to advise what's a sensible price for it complete?
(Excuse the saddle angle, it's just a place holder)

Now sold

No.

Wanna buy a Pompino?

Let the dog in.

Pink Trek... yeah

I took part in this and took 4th in the SSS category.
Does anyone know who came in above me? I know their names from the score sheet, but no idea their faces or what they were riding.
I did see you guys spinning round a few times and thought you looked like you knew what you were doing

Sorry if I’ve missed this but where are the forks from?

As the title suggests I am selling

1) A pair of Mavic Bullhorns - 42cm - Drilled for internal brake routing
£25 posted to your door

2) A pair of Mavic Bullhorns - 42cm - and Mavic Aero Bars and Profile Design Quill Stem - 100mm
£55 posted to your door

Both are located near Coventry in Kenilworth.

Can only attach stuff to the lowers

What light is that on the front of your Santa Cruz?

Best bike ever

Take them to your local mtb bike shop, let them all excited, get them bled then never talk about replacing them ever again
Edit: gotta bleed with magura's blue stuff, not shimomo or dot fluid

Can anyone recommend some winter boots? Looking at something like Shimano MW5 or similar, but cheaper... I've got not money, but my current bontrager ones have lots and lots of holes in.
Or maybe does anyone have any size 44/45 they'd like to sell?

Also, not sure what's up with the chromed dropouts and stays? Seems like the paint is sanded of?

Yeah, sanded ready for mudguard eyelets, as eluded to in my description

braze on some mudguard eyes, clear coat and then use it as a winter hack

Frame no is 3792269

Probably the worst photo ever, but demonstrates my point

Sorry for the horrific lighting, even if you could just about squeeze it I'd be worried about standover height

Edit meant to be in reply to @onyerbike
Saddle added for measuring reasons

Thank you :~)

So, putting the crank at the bottom and then measuring up the rear seat tube then adding a sensible size gap for a slammed saddle, minimum inside leg is 75cm.
What sized person are you thinking of fitting on there?

You can get adjustable stoker stems/different bars so reach at the back is something and nothing. But on this bike it's 57cm seatpost to seatpost, but then with an 80mm stem coming back towards the rear rider, so it's effectively 49cms.
Hope this makes sense/helps!

Sorry, I'm always doing that.
I'd like £395 for the whole build but I'm open to offers/combining postage etc etc

£180, I'll add it to the description

First up is my Martrac Lo Pro:
Frame/Forks/DA Headset/Campag 18h on Hope Hub.
Top tube: 56cm
Seat tube: 57cm
The bike has got a dent in the top tube - it has been talked about it both the previous sales threads 1 and 2.
Pretty cool bike, it's ratty and trashed but that's what makes it so cool.
£200

Next up is a Gazelle Champion Mondial:
Frame/Forks.
Top tube: 54cm
Seat tube: 55.5cm
The frame is from a friend's garage and had a load of rust spots. My plan was to flat back the rusty bits, braze on some mudguard eyes, clear coat and then use it as a winter hack. Life got in the way and it never got finished.
£45

Saracen Transverse Competition Hydrotech Retro MTB:
Full Bike.
Top tube: 21"
Seat tube: 19.5"
Very fun and very cool, but I just don't have the space for it at the moment. The bike is on Pedal Room. The main difference is, the front mech has been removed, so it's a 1x setup. The brakes were bled recently so work better than most modern V brakes and the gear cable and housing was replaced so that functions as it should too.
£180

Up next is the Knight Tandem, that was hung in Cycle PS for a long time. My plan was to reuse this when I was ploughing ahead with the idea of opening my own bike shop. However life gets in the way and plans have changed so it's just collecting dust. One of the front brake mounts has broken off so either a new one needs to be brazed on, or a long drop brake can be used instead.
Frame/Forks/Seatposts/Headset/Handlebars/Cranksets/BBs.
I payed £300, however I'm willing to take an idiot tax and let this go for £250.

Geoffrey Butler Full Build
Full Bike.
Top tube: 56cm
Seat tube: 56cm
£395

This is a lovely Geoffrey Butler built road frame, that has at some point had track dropouts put on, then a new coat of paint.
Really don't want to sell this bike, but I really need the space and cash.
Steel frame, no idea of the tubing but it's not heavy and has lovel fastback stays on it.
Dura Ace Headset, Columbus Cromor Forks, Cinelli 1A Stem (100mm), Deda Piega Compact Drops, SRAM Levers, Shimano 600 front brake, Ksyrium Front Wheel, Unbranded Rear Wheel, SR Cranks, Sharpied Miche 48T Ring, Ultegra SPD Pedals, Specialized/Nitto Seatpost, Concor Supercorsa Suede Saddle.
As mentioned above, I love this bike and really don't wanna see it go, but here we are.

Everything is based in Kenilworth near Coventry.
I'll be visiting London over the coming weeks, so could arrange delivery/collection that way. Alternatively I'd be more than happy to post.
Feel free to tell me if my prices are way out.
