UPDATE: We've managed to get someone in for the week, so this is now closed.

However, if you're interested, please email your CV to hello@honorcycles.com and we'll let you know when new work comes in or a full-time position opens up.

Hello there, we need a freelance mechanic part-time over the next couple of weeks.

We have a workshop in the Five Points Brewery warehouse in Hackney, it's a cool space (literally, bring warm clothes if you're interested!) with tunes and beer. You'll need to be confident working on bikes like Bromptons, Dutch things, and your normal Hybrid commute rigs.

Shift dates are likeley to change around, but it looks like it would be about 2 days per week for now. Ideally you'll want to be local to us so you can come in on short notice when there is work to do, and go somewhere warm when there isnt.

DM me if you're interested :)

SOLD!

...simply epic....

Any takers @ £150?

@danstuff is this your kitchen?

Also, are you this guy:

Colin Furze

I've managed to find what I need in the end, so making my own is probably overkill now.
Thanks for the South Thames UTC & Fablab suggestions, I'll give them a look next time.

@mdcc_tester yeah, £100 seems to be the quote i'm getting everywhere. I was kind of hoping someone had small DIY CNC in the garage they'd be willing to put to use.

@orlowskiframes I'll ping you the .STL tonight

Good article. I've met Ms Hartley on a couple of occasions and was this >-< close to getting a frame made. Struck me as dedicated and professional yet really down-to-earth.

I need a couple of MTB shock mount plates milled out of 9mm thick Aluminium. I have the CAD files and can export to any format needed, I just don't have a cnc mill.

Any frame builders out there have one? Have spare capacity for a couple of small parts (40mm x 50mm x 9mm)? How much?

It's not for a site really, more like a blog e-book which we maintain as part of Honor Cycles. Here is a link to the one we currently have:

It's a bit shallow on details and using google maps was not the best idea, hence why we're looking for GPX files and a bit more depth in the descriptions.

Glad I got your attention :)

We're looking to create a regular blog showcasing nice routes and rides in and around London and we need some help with content. This isn’t a full time job or anything, just a simple way to earn some beer cash when you’re out on a ride. We will pay out for each route we end up using and will cite you as the original author.

All we're looking for is a GPS file of the route, a few pics / short videos of nice or notable parts of it and a short 250~500 word description. Then send it our way and we’ll polish and publish it. The only rules are no plagiarising, and the photos must be your own.

Ping me a message if you’re interested and I can send you an example of what we’re looking for and we can take it from there.

Price drop to £190!

Also, collection is now from E1W 2BX - shipping is no longer possible.

Cranks have now been replaced with a set of silver Sturmey 165mm 42T cranks and a brand new sealed BB, so she's all good to go!

Also, shipping now possible!

confusing that it does not show up in the "preview" mode

Hello hello!

I'm selling off this heavily customised Charge Hob Mixte. The bike was purchased new back in 2013, though the only original parts left are the frame, headset, seatpost and saddle - everything else has been upgraded over time.

Here is the list of parts:

Frame: Charge Hob Mixte SS (Medium)
Forks: Genesis Carbon fiber, resprayed
Front wheel: Halo Aero Track hub & rim
Rear wheel: Halo Track hub & Mavic CXP22 rim
Tires: Schwalbe Durano Dual compound 25c
Stem: Spank 1 Timer
Bars: Answer Pro Taper
Brake Levers: Avid Speed Dial 7
Brake Calipers: Promax/Alongha Calipers (new pads)
Cranks: Race Face Cadence 130bcd
Chainring: Gebhardt GTP 42T
BB: Shimano RS60
Chain: Izumi Track (tough as nails)
Freewheel: Shimano SF-MX30 16T
Pedals: DMR V12

The bike is in good condition with the usual scuffs from normal street use. Most of the components have a lot of life left in them, the chain, freewheel and chainring are essentially new.

Sadly, there is one issue though, the cranks have started developing some play that no amount of tightening can sort out. After some diligent investigating I believe that the crank axle spline is damaged/rounded. So although the bike is rideable, you'll want to swap out the cranks at some point
EDIT: Cranks have now been replaced with a set of silver Sturmey 165mm 42T cranks and a brand new sealed BB, so she's all good to go!

£220 - collected from the olympic velodrome (London 2012).
could also potentially ship, but that would be on top of the above price.

Some more pics for you :)

I'm going to post this in the Classifieds section as it seems more appropriate there.

Hello hello!

I'm selling off this heavily customised Charge Hob Mixte. It's my wife's and she simply does not use it any more since getting a geared bike (I know, I know, the same of it!)

Thanks to all those that replied, we have the 4 mechanics we need now but we'll be in touch if anyone drops out or for future gigs.

Quick gig happening on Thursday 8th of February, 6pm to 9pm, in Shoreditch London.

We're looking for 3-4 bike mechanics to help us stow bikes during the Buzzbike end-of-run party. Simple enough job spinning bars, removing pedals and carefully stacking bikes. Should be a pretty enjoyable job as it will be happening during the party so there will be music, drinks, nibbles, and pay @ £11/hr.

Message me if you are interested!

SOLD to Jingle_Jangle :)

Enjoy!

Yup, they are indeed.

a solid 1cm cube of plastic will cost about 50p in PLA material & electricity. 3D printing is not about making it cheap, it is about making shapes that can't be easily made traditionally.

it really depends on what you are printing. the printer's software does the layup calculations for you, but you need to create the 3D file in the first place. So it is about as complicated as the CAD program you choose to use.

something to get those creative juices flowing:
