Got a spare set of weinmann brakes and calipers. Old stuff, but if anyone wants it it´s yours. Need some tlc, but served me well for a few weeks before upgrading to a gold finger

Also I´m on the lookout for a long reach stem, 8-10cm. Have a short reach one I could swap with if that is of interest. Guess it´s standard 1"
It´s one of this model I´m looking for:

Pickup / swap in Dalston / Mayfair

Amsterdam though, but inspiration at least

Have a question about my frame, i suspect it might be bent. When putting on my back wheel i can align it perfectly either by the bottom bracket, or by the saddle, but not both at the same time. I guess it could be my back wheel thats crap too, but when spinning it seems to be true.
Is it possible to fix a bent frame and where/who could fix it? Or do you think its the back wheel?

Im not very good with those miles (Im swedish and we use metrics, mmmm.... metrics) but google-maps tells me dalston-mayfair is 5 about miles.
To Russel square is dead easy from dalston, you can take nice bike paths from Angel, and if you want to get rid of traffic go through de bevouir town rather than balls pond road - essex road.
I havent done that much riding around town more than my commute but after trying to wiggle through back streets i think its easier to go on the main roads, less corners, braking etc

I live up in Dalston and really like it. Getting a bit arty farty but still a great place. Good value for money too i think, and if you want a bit cheaper go more towards stoke newington or Hackney central. Around mare street / london fields is nice too
Regarding bike routes I commute Dalston - Mayfair every day and I ride:
Dalston - Balls pond road - essex road - Rosebery av - theobalds road - High holborn - Shaftesbury Av - Mayfair
Record times: dalston - mayfair: 22mins, Mayfair - Dalston: 19mins



i know, nice combo isn´t it. Moving jobs soon though, so will be in camden in two weeks, gonna be nice to not be the only one sporting jeans, tee n a baseball cap
