    Langster rear wheel fixed/single speed (Alexrims R500). Good condition - little used but dusty. Been in a cupboard - move necessitates sale.

    2 x Specialized Mondo 700 x 23 C tyres. Almost unused.

    Collection only - London Bridge/Borough - must go by Sunday.

    £25 - wheel and £25 - tyres - or sensible offers considered

    Taken off my bike on my balcony right outside my front door two floors up Sunday evening in SE1...

    Must have been planned or friend of a local job - you can't see the balcony from the road and you have to have very good eyesight to spots a brooks by chance on a second floor balcony from below.

    Anyway - I'll stop grumbling. Brooks swift - dark brown - well used but well looked after (lots of beeswax). On a black alloy seatpost with a single clamp.

    If the cnut is asking less than 25 quid please buy it and I'll pay you back. Otherwise - any information gratefully received - and I'll go and retrieve it myself.

    Cheers in advance

    I worked 2007/8 as a ski guide in Sainte Foy - a little (primarily off piste) resort in the same valley as Val and Tignes (about 20 mins away by car). Pretty small place, but the mountain's amazing and if you want to spend your season skiing/riding then it's one of the best places I've come across.

    PM me and I'll point you in the direction of some of the bars and companies that work there...

    Very average photo.
    Also - it seems anyone can just email and ask for the link and get access to hi res downloads of hundreds of other cyclists' photos.... sure there must be some kind of privacy/stalker issue there....

    Really hate green (or any other idealogically based groups) masquerading under things they're not.....

    If you're about cycling - fine - if you're just about hemp dungaree wearing climate wankers - then fuck off and don't call yourself a bike website....

    Just got an email from the bloke and found my photo - all as he said, and so far free etc.

    No spam (yet). Just not quite sure how this is going to make money/what it's aims are - it must cost them something for the photographers and webspace etc...

    A lot of cost for very limited 'green' exposure.

    I've seen him a couple of times on Millbank too.
    Think he's in the process of setting up a bike website - something like bikespotters.com, but when I last looked (a couple of weeks ago - after I first got snapped) it was only a blog...
