  In fact speaking of Seiko.
  I have a manual wind sportsman that has been sticking occasionally. I think it needs a clean and service, who do I go to? I work near Hatton garden so near there would be great.

  This is fantastic.
  What is the size like on this? I have a preference for the smaller sizes, with 40mm being a bit too big for my preference.

  Would anyone be interested in a TT28 frame?

  It's got a broken front derailleur hanger, so could only be a 1x or single speed. Otherwise pretty good condition. It's got a white condor headset fitted, and a carbon 1 inch ahead fork.

  I'm moving house in the next month or so and therefore need to get rid. I always wanted to rebuild it with 1 X force after the front derailleur hanger was broken but never got around to it.

  I could do a thread for it but thought it might be appreciated here?

  Interesting article.
  Ive always been suspicious of the modernists, all the unusable domestic work areas in Corbs buildings. Lloyd Wrights problem with structure and watertightness, etc.

  Trying this out.
  Really enjoying the small size, but definitely needs a new strap.

  I was worried that this just means they are ruined. Which is a shame.

  Thanks though

  I have an old pair of grensons that my grandpa used to wear. They have had some oil damage to the upper, a stain that has darkened the leather. They have no major value beyond sentimental, and are pretty beaten up.

  I was looking at how to deal with the stain, the advice that is easily googleable is basically dont get oil on your shoes, followed by put talcum powder on them. The staiin has been there for too long for this to be an option. Will I need to strip the leather back with something like neatsfoot oil? then re-dye and apply a polish?
