If any readers were pondering the outcome of my questions about the Day One upthread... Here's the result. Partsbingoplacesotherthanjustasphaltstationbike. Bit spinny, very chuckable.

RIP forum xo

I have one of these. But no good photos. It's ok for how much it costs, but does sit a bit high - I've got a few spacers on this bike which compensates. Bag is homemade, sorta smaller Carradice saddlebag size. @pastry_bot didn't compliment or even really notice it over 3 days.

BikeInn?

Thought I'd put this at the top sorry. I'm in Romsey so it's likely popping it in the post is best. Do come into London for work so could bring it in but won't be doing again until the new year.

Nope - it's painted silver.

Deffo just the paint. So, a repaint would sort it :)

Price drop

Charge Mixer medium frameset and the gubbins you see in the pics (seatpost, headset, bars, stem, etc) £50 plus post.

I measure it as:
Top tube 55cm
Seat tube 58cm

It's total station lock up fodder, which is what I've used it for. Paint is all a bit tatty - worst bits are around the fork crown. No dings. Has this pitting sort of effect on the paint that these frames seem to develop. Eccentric BB is working great, but the holes to shift it round are a little mushed, but totally works fine.

I had it set up with Alfine 8, drops, 32mm tyres and mudguards and enjoyed... but it was always a little small for me. It's from peak fixie era so, has some pretty mad toe overlap/steep angles... which does make it fun! Would make a nifty city fixed or hub gear lock up outside commuter.

Based in Hampshire, so collection unlikely for most.

(The garden is a work in progress...)

Pulling apart a silver bike to replace it with another silver bike. Based in Hampshire so likely need to cover postage on top.

Alfine 8 hub and shifter - It's second hand to me and I've put 300 miles on it. I think the guy I got it off rode it a bit, then put it in the garage for years. Doubt it's ever been serviced but worked well for me! 36h as they come. You can choose between trigger shifter (pictured) or microshift bar end shifter (not yet removed from bike). I don't have the right tool to remove the rotor but if a problem can borrow one locally. These seem to sell for wildly different prices on ebay so... lfgss price £80

Juin Tech R1 brakes in fetching green. Well used, well loved. Really well loved, these things are brilliant and only selling as new bike is rim brake. £60

Sneaky pic edit. I never got around to trimming the front one to fit the fork better... But it never got in the way either. Toddler life etc....

I've used Bluemels Style 75s on my Bridge Club with the same wheel/tyre size and found they worked really well...

I picked up this yesterday. There's all these shiny cheap looking probs Chinese things around too... Hopefully I live to tell the tale.

I have discovered a world of single speed 6 bolt dirt jump hubs that come in 135mm whilst in a boring work meeting - good use of an hour that would have been wasted. I'm doin' it.

Thanks for help and suggestions everyone!

I wanna skidderrrrr

This is my fear... Hub alone would probs eat up any budget I've got and there's no real hope in waiting around for a second hand one...

I keep looking at this... and the one in classifieds. I love it and want it for my station bike life. I'm struggling to talk myself out of it...

The one big barrier - back wheel. What are you using here? Looks like it's probs just a standard 120mm hub, but I think these have spacing set to 135mm right? What magic have you done?

Ah - so close! I can't have another grey/silver bike in my life right now though... Thanks for getting pics up quickly.

Registering interesting pending pics - the rattier the better for me!

Flaky fucks on the internet are flaky. I undibs the blue forks. Too many bills for bike stuff atm. Soz.

Super! Will pm properly when I get a mo.

I have a Brother Allday with baby blue and pink splatter. I should buy the baby blue fork, shouldn't I?

Ok with dibs and waiting a week or so for payday to come around?

I'd ride to Hythe and take the Ferry to Soton if I wanted to have a nice time. But it's only hourly on a Sunday.

The only real alternative is - Take some gravel tracks (nice 👌) to Lyndhurst. Get a bit stuck on the Lyndhurst gyratory, then chug along a cycle path next to a big road until Ashurst. Wiggle through some suburbia and then follow cycle paths along massive roads through Totton into Soton.

Heya - these all went to happy homes a while back. Soz.

A user with great music taste has taken the noise set (pic 2). Anyone for the punk set (pic1)?

New year clear out tidy time. Anybody interested in any of these for cost of postage? Happy to do two parcels as per the photo splits.
