Now sold. Cheers

Seconded on MEE audio, I use the cheaper non- pro ones exclusively for running, and find for podcasts they're fine quality. For music, I'd say the upgrade would be worth it.

That's exactly what it is! Thanks both.

Anyone able to i.d this plant for me? When I bought it, it had the entirely unhelpful label of 'exotic plant' or something to that effect. Oh ... and a picture of a topless Amazonian tribeswoman.

2014 Croix de Fer in everyone's favourite colour way. In stock set up + mudguards and 28mm gatorskins.

A few scrapes, but only aesthetic. Very little wear to the drivetrain. (Original bar tape pictured as an indication of how little use the bike has seen).

£400
Collection Walthamstow.

I'm planning on ordering one of these in the next week. It will sit on a rack, so all the bits and pieces will be surplus to requirement. You're welcome to them once I get 'em.

Bought this ages ago with a project in mind. That project never happened, and I can't justify buying a frame now just to make use of the groupset.

It's a full OEM groupset, and it's never left the box it came in.

34/50 chainrings
11/28 cassette
172.5 cranks

Haven't done a huge amount of digging around on the price of what these go for these days. But noticed that Tiagra seems to go for 260 new. So I'll match that price. 105 for the price of Tiagra.

Collection from E17, but I'll open it up to postage if it hasn't gone within the next couple weeks.

And now for £200, so much bike for the money!

^ image not uploading, so I'll send it to anyone interested.

Small dent

This bike probably has less than 200 miles on it. It has however spent most of its life fighting for space in a garage and as such has a few scrapes to show for it.

It's pretty much the ultimate commuter, tough steel frame, hydraulic brakes, comfortable upright position.

The only reason I'm moving it on is that I also have a Croix de Fer, which shares the same frame design, so it is a bit of an extravagance to keep both...

It does have one small dent on the chainstay, which I have tried to picture.

Looking for £220 collected from walthamstow.

I have a Genesis Borough in a 52. Which I need to move on.

It's certainly an ideal commuter: gears, hydraulic disks, mudguards and racks. But it ain't a vintage bike with modern bits ...

Yup Shimano freehub. PM'ed.

Brand new 11speed RS31 wheel set. Bought a while ago for a project that never materialised.

They're currently on offer on c.r and sold out at £149.99

So, £100, Collected from E17?

Marin now gone, cheers picco. Still no takers for the kingpin?

Now just £35 each

Losing my garage means I can unfortunately no longer afford to hang on to these unfinished projects.

The Marin measures 17.5' c-t, has deore DX which is buttery smooth, and is frankly more pleasure inducing than my road bike. The plan was to turn it into a shopper/ upright townbiek, so I purchased some sweptback bars, and swiftly lost patience when I realised I would have to re cable it for them to fit. It then sat in the garage for a year. The kicker, I threw away the original bars, so it can't really be ridden back.

£40

The shopper. I commuted on this last summer. If you haven't swung your leg over one of these you don't know what fun you are missing out on. Smiles are guarunteed. This could certainly do with a decent service, but, it is rideable. Just don't decend any steep hills ..

£40

Hopefully the prices reflect the urgency with which I would like to be able to reclaim my floor space.

Collection is from E17. With those who can collect the soonest given priority (provided that's within the forum rules?)

The Typing Room in Bethnal Green is really fantastic both in terms of food and ambience, and I believe both the 5 & 7 course menus would be within that price range. Adding drink would likely push you a bit over. The first course is always 'Snacks' and is in effect another 4 tasting dishes.

Cheers for the info. I have been drying it after every use, and originally feared I might be being a little over zealous, but good to know I was doing the necessary thing. It's a Masamoto VG 10, the blade reads 'Hyper-Molybdenum-Vanadium', which I must admit I'm none the wiser for.

Time to brush up on the whetstone skills. Im used to using the functional and more budget friendly Victorinox offerings, so want to treat this one with a little more respect.

I was lucky enough to receive a very lovely Japanese knife this Christmas. Now, what do I do to look after it? I can't seem to find any concensus on chef/knife forums, should I be honing it like I would a regular stainless steel knife, or is that a big no no?

Great, Longdan is convenient. Thanks :)

Hi all, does anyone know where I can get hold of seitan, or failing that vital wheat gluten, in Central or East? Thanks!

Thanks for the great info on the NC500 RankinJ & Uber_Gruber. I can only do it July/August, as I work in education, so will just have to brave the midges. Considering both of you have suggested that the East coast isn't so spectacular, corroborating the few other reports I have heard, I think I may adapt the route to stick to the west, and possibly include the Isle of Skye.

Ha..! The plan is to wild camp every night, so I suppose I best start mentally preparing myself for the damp. Did you cycle clockwise/anticlockwise? I've just found the interactive map, looks very useful for working out sights of interest. Did you find the route was signposted? Any sections you would avoid or detour to avoid heavy traffic? Thanks!

Looking to cycle the NC500 sometime in the coming weeks. Has anyone on here completed it and have any tips or recommendations to offer?
