Just wondering if this is absolutely going ahead, or some gathering on Saturday 15? I'd love to be there but live in Belgium now so will see if I can get a Eurostar that isn't extortionate. Just want to be sure that I'm coming for something before pulling the trigger. And I sadly won't have a bike, unless anyone can lend me one, so will be more up for drinks at the end.

Wheels are nice, I believe they're campag hubs but not sure exactly what. The bike is currently at my mum's, not far from Winchester.
The complication is that both me and my bro don't live in the UK. I might be there in mid-March so could deal with this but before then might be tricky. Unless someone happens to be not too far and wanted to collect. I expect it's unlikely though...

Yeh, it's a real shame about the frame.

My brother bought a bike off here during covid, though I can't remember who from. Sadly he got car-doored shortly after and was fine himself but realised a couple of weeks later that the down tube had been cracked. Fast-forward to today and he's living abroad and my mum's clearing the shed. So looking to find takers for the parts. I also am not in the UK at the moment so will have to figure out how to get parts to people but the pictures show what we're working with.
A decent part of proceeds will be donated either to the forum, or a relevant cause in light of the impending end of days.
We have a Campagnolo Atlanta wheelset, true and decent hubs, plus clinchers. Let's start at £130
Then there's the groupset, Centaur 9 speed with 3x chainring, Chorus brifters, BB. No clue on this, is £100 way off? Can include the headset too.
Then there are some other bits, I see MKS pedals, quill stem, forks can surely serve on something, bars, Cinelli seatpost. Any interest?
Dibs go to anyone who wants the lot. Open to suggestions on this, just trying to help my bro and mum out!

Ok, that's good news. Thanks all for the reassurance! I've just updated OS but was worried this was a problem. I'll let it be

Can someone explain why my macbook often doesn't charge when plugged in? I'm getting this, rather than the lightening strike icon...

@salad No worries at all, it's an obvious point! But yeh, the old man is very frustrated and starts harping on about "bring back the good ole days" etc. He said maybe I'd be better selling it for the cash, at which point I suggested we drop this and wait until he's back in the UK (rather than tell him it's effectively an expensive paperweight haha).
Heartfelt thanks to all, it's actually quite simple: if he can't find the pword anywhere I'll tell him to reset his Apple ID and pass on the deets. Failing that we'll try the proof of purchase route.
Hi folks, massive thanks for the kind offers for a bike. I have now booked to get to London the day before so can confirm my presence. If someone can lend a bike that would be amazing. I'm about 6" so 54-56 frame is good and really I'd just be thrilled to join so any beater would do. Or if this isn't possible I'll find some solution, even if it's racing to the pub stops. Very excited to be there for the ride!
