bit of a necrobump, but might have been me on this Dave - have been commuting out from Brockley for years on this. Frame is a bit of a heavyweight random mix, bought second-hand on eBay in a hurry when I trashed my previous road/commute frame - seattube sticker is Columbus PRX but the guy said he thought every tube was different. It was one of a pair of two matching Daves owned by this guy - one with lighter tubes and tighter clearances & this one with heavier tubes and generous clearances as the winter trainer. He was a bit chunkier than me, though, so I think it's a bit overweight for me. Feels indestructible for schlepping around town though. It's 59cm and tbh a bit small for me - that's a Technomic stem at max height...
Paint is getting a bit trashed on the driveside chainstay & elsewhere these days, have been thinking about getting some rack mounts added & a respray in a more jazzy colour (maybe with a fade...)

Price drop - still sitting on a shelf - any interest at £20?

Bern Allston Neon Green, bought by my partner, worn a couple of times but it's too small for her head. Left it too late to return for refund, still looks immaculate, includes box etc.
More details: https://www.santafixie.co.uk/bern-allston-matte-neon-green-helmet.html
Note on sizing: this is the old Bern sizes - this one is labelled L/XL(57-60.5). My partner usually wears about a 59cm but this is too small for her - it's tight on the front & loose on the sides. As far as I can tell Bern have kept the shape/size of the helmets but relabelled them, so I think this shape/size is now described as M(55.5-59cm). My partner now has the same helmet in 2XL/3XL which is described as L in the new sizes...
EDIT: £20 collected from Brockley/New Cross (or within reasonable riding distance if you want to meet somewhere halfway...)
More photos when I figure out why the attachment widget isn't doing what I want it to...

Possibly interested in the Holdsworth forks to replace a broken pair - can you give any other details, ie. length of steerer tube, rake (if poss) and whether they were for 700c or 27"?
Cheers,

For sale, nice old Freddie Grubb frame in need of repair. I bought this on eBay in Nov 2007, used for several years used as a fixed gear commuter until one of the fork dropouts broke when I hit a pothole. I assume it could be repaired by a framebuilder, but it was always a bit small for me so I'd like to pass it on as a project (sold as seen, obviously). Or you could get some cheap 27" forks to go with the frame.
I think it's pretty with lovely fancy lugs and a slightly faded & scuffed up purple and yellow paintjob, although if you were getting the fork repaired you might want to respray the whole thing at the same time. It has the Holdsworth-built 1956-1963 Freddie Grubb headbadge http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nkilgariff/FGimages/badges/FHG.jpg, but the later crossed-flags decal on the seattube (probably an incorrect replacement at some point).
Seattube is 22.5" c-c, 23" c-t. Top-tube is 22".
£50 ONO, ideally collected from Stoke Newington or Herne Hill, or possibly somewhere on my route between them ( eg. Liverpool St / Farringdon / London Bridge).
this tandem is so ace!!
