  Sorry to hear about this and I am surprised the EA had not flagged up this potential mortgage during viewings.

  I was also in a similar situation a few years back for a flat above a commercial unit in Camberwell. What I took from it was not to look at victorian type flats above commercial units ever again, unless I was a full cash buyer!

• Got any bike bits you want given to The Bike Project? I will pick up and deliver for free

  I will have a full BMX + parts (from @TTM) to drop off to the Depford location.

  I will check opening times and swing by this weekend.

  I have loads of tubular rims as well but I dount that'll be of any use?
  @Thrasher let me know and I will drop off at the same time

  Hi @damn_seagulls & @JamesThomson

  The frameset is still available, yes!

  Happy to drop off in London if you happen to be between my house (New Cross SE14) and my work (Goodge Street)

  I think this is a forum bike!

  Unsurprisingly, you will need to acquire the steering cables.
  They come direct from Douze and are sealed units so there is no possible adjustments

  I have to give Schwalbe a public apology as I was previously saying that their cargo specific tyres - the Pick Up - were making the front end of my Douze feel super heavy.

  I had all 4 steering cables replaced by London Green Cycles and they were the issue - not the tyres.

  Now my steering issues are rectified, the tyres feel great.

  Last chance before the forks head to eBay & the frame heads to the metal recyclers!

  what do people reckon the best locks are for a cargo bike?

  I have:

  1. a D1000 Hiplok - https://hiplok.com/product/hiplok-d1000-­anti-angle-grinder-bike-lock-waitlist/
     
  2. a Kryptonite NEW YORK FAHGETTABOUDIT CHAIN 1415 - https://www.kryptonitelock.com/en/produc­ts/product-information/current-key/99949­2.html
     
  3. a Monimoto Tracker - https://monimoto.com/uk/shop/
     
  4. Insurance
     
     

  Still feels like it isn't sufficient in London!
