Tools, running armband, both pair of shoes etc are now gone. Still some stuff left though!

That looks fun!

Thanks for you guys' interest, however I've decided to not sell it. Did some soul searching for a couple days and realized that I don't have the heart to sell it. Sorry for the indecisiveness!

Up for possible sale is my beloved horse, a Canyon Inflite AL 8.0S size L. I love this bike and am a bit shocked that I am actually trying to sell it. The reason is that it might be fun to swap with something else over the winter. That being said, I am in no rush to sell it and might end up keeping it if I don’t feel like parting with it after all.

This is Canyon’s CX bike with mechanical disc brakes and mudguard eyelets. However, it rides like a road bike with slicks and a 52-36 11s setup. I bought it new in mid March so its only been ridden for about 6 months, mainly commuting and training rides/longer rides in the weekend. For this purpose its been brilliant. I reckon its seen around 3000-3500km.

Specs:
Frame size top tube 56cm, seat tube 57cm. You can find the rest of the frame geometry specs here.

• Shimano 105 groupset
  
• Wheelset DT Swiss R24 Spline DB
  
• Continental Grand Prix 4000 II tyres, 28mm
  
• Mechanical disc brakes Shimano BR-CX77 with new pads
  
• Stem -6° 110mm, currently riding with it flipped.
  
• Shimano pressfit bottom bracket. This was replaced two months ago.
  
• Giant Contact SL saddle
  
• Canyon VCLS seatpost
  
• SPD pedals
  
  

I am asking £600 for it.

Its just the case. I've got the bike mounting bracket as well but I am using it with my Android phone so its not for sale. Do you still want the case?

They are yours.

Sorry Jalopy, I can't really be arsed to ship the stand, hope you understand.

Hm maybe you have to be logged in to google to see the pictures. Anyways, here they are.

Sorry gooner47, would like to avoid shipping the £1 items, its not really worth it imo.

GreatSince78 you have dibs on all of the tools if you still want them. If not then they will go to Wyshniukas. Would like to sell it as a bundle if possible.

Wyshniukas the quadlock armband is yours.

I am leaving the UK in a couple weeks and would like to sell this stuff beforehand. Collection in N8 near Alexandra Park or in Soho/Fitzrovia during the day.

Lock is now gone,sorry guys.

Yes it's the mini version. Gooner has first dibs, will let you know if he backs out.

One more.

Having 3 locks for my one bike is a bit overkill which is why I'm selling this one. Have had it for six months and only used it at the garage at work. Never been locked outside in the rain in other words.

I still have all 3 keys for it.

£30 or nearest offer.

This might have been discussed earlier, but does anyone know of a way to properly upload logged pool swimming workouts to Strava? I have a Suunto Ambit3 Sport watch, and when it syncs to Strava it says "0 meter distance", "0 seconds moving time" etc. I'm guessing this has something to do with no GPS coordinates and Strava is freaking out because of it.. As of now I am creating manual entries but its quite annoying to not see all the data.

Two tips from me 1) Slam your saddle as far forwards as possible 2) watch all of this guy's videos .

I'm thinking of doing a tempo ride to Brighton some time this weekend. I've ridden down there a couple times before and this time I'm doing it TT aero style with clip on bars as fast as I can. Aiming to do it in 3H20M or less, avg somewhere around 30km/t +.

Would be good with some company. Anyone fancy?

I am seriously contemplating entering the ballot for Norseman next year and possibly a half iron in July. Contemplating it so much it keeps me up at night. like now.. The ballot for Norseman doesn't open up until late October anyways so there is still time to decide (even though it felt like I've made the decision already). And even if I do enter, there are usually over 2000 entries and only 250 spots so chances are slim.

Haha sweet! What was your time/distance?

Cool, I might take you up on that! Is it only delivery or can I show up for a meal? Soho based.

Wow 2:19 is an absolute killer time, way to go! Specially so close after doing an ironman. I feel you on the swim, I really felt like giving up and grabbing hold of one of the kayaks..

Quick write up of today's race if anyone is interested!

Swim - 1.5 km avg 01:55 min/100m 0:28:39
Bike - 40 km avg 36.49 km/h 1:05:47
Run - 10.5 km avg 06:01 min/km 1:03:16
Overall time - 2:44:23

Showed up at the swim assembly feeling confident and ready for my first tri. We jumped in the water and clever me decided to place myself in the very front of the wave. Feeling good, I got my GPS watch ready and before I knew it the horn sounded and mayhem started around me while I was trying to press the "start activity" button on my watch while instead pressing "back". It turns out that my wave was a fast one and all of a sudden I was getting kicked, punched and showed around like in a washing machine. Full panic mode, I decide that the watch will have to wait and in the struggle to keep up with everyone I start hyperventilating and swallowing at least a pint of delicious Thames water. 10 minutes or so into it I start getting into a groove and settle into a nice pace. At 28 minutes I leave the water and run up the ramp feeling seriously disoriented and starting to feel stomach cramps.

T1 goes well and I am finally on the bike ready to put down the hammer. I quickly settle into my goal heart rate of around 160 (which in hindsight was probably too high). Knowing that the run is my weakest discipline, I try to keep up the pace on the bike and gain some time. Besides, riding full aero on closed roads in London was such an awesome feeling I couldn't help giving it my all. On the bike leg I ended up number 381 out of 3355 people with an average speed of 36,5km/h. Super happy!

On to the run and I am still having stomach cramps. I have been drinking mostly energy drinks so far (big mistake) and I was afraid of taking in any more nutrition so I only brought one gel with me on to the run leg. This fell out of my back pocket almost immediately. 3 kilometers in and I realize that 1) I should have done way more bike/run brick sessions before the race and 2) my legs are turning into jello. At this point I am completely scraped of fuel and am desperately looking on the ground for dropped gels. Can't find any. I dig deep and somehow manage to finish without fainting.

All in all, it was a great experience! Total time was 2:44 which put me in the top 30% for the Tower Bridge route which I am super super happy with. I was hoping for around 3h so it was quite a surprise to see the results afterwards! Not sure if I want to repeat it anytime soon but if I do I learnt some valuable lessons :) :D

Anyone else racing in London this weekend?

What will we see tomorrow? A category 4 climb in the last 30km's.. Hoping for a mass sprint but somehow I doubt that will happen. More like a Sagan-in-the-breakaway kind of stage.

Eurosport doesn't start live coverage until 13:10 every day, instead they are currently showing replay from yesterday's stage. Its really pissing me off tbh, specially today with a TT stage.
