the shared pavement

Which one are you referring to? Aren't there quite a few segregated or otherwise marked cycle lanes in the Waterloo area?

Fair enough regarding breathable waterproof stuff I suppose. But for normal nice weather kit, I honestly have never understood what actual difference it makes. I mean sure, don't go for the cheapest option, you usually notice the materials being more crap. But above a certain price point... I don't know, I've tried it, and to me an s/l jersey is an s/l jersey. I would definitely consider spending more for a really cool design, but more often than not, the expensive stuff is exceedingly boring as well!

Just checked that brand out as I'd never heard of them - holy cow that is expensive. Honest question here, why is it worth it to you to spend that much?

I've had gear of varying quality, and honestly, I've come to this conclusion: as long as the fit is right (and that is not correlated to the price), the only thing I'm willing to pay a lot of money for is the pad. That is important. But jerseys for example? I've bought second-hand Castellis and never had a second thought about them, which in my mind means they work as well as they can. What actual upgrade does a jersey for >150 quid bring?

"nuovo-retard "

I got to remember that one :D

I get what you're saying, and I wouldn't be pointing it out if there were just 'some' mistakes. But the total lack of structure while the grammar and spelling is largely correct to me points towards someone who just didn't want to put two minutes of thought into their listing, rather than someone who genuinely tried, but struggles.

Oh come on. I'm sure everybody on Ebay with a shitty description has learning difficulties. I really do think asking for periods at the end of sentences is not too much to ask for, sorry.

Jesus Christ it should be legal to force some people to go back to school.

Is this from some poetry slam?

After 17 hours? So basically, you just used this thread to advertise your ebay sale? I don't think that's how this is supposed to work.

Guy in front who was very keen on staying in front (not that I mind, if he wants to race, I'll do it) very effectively avoided being drafted by having no mudguards. Good defensive technique.

These things are really quite good btw. Of course stuff can be stolen out of them, but they are sturdy and well built.

Even better, definitely interested - see if you can dig them out? :)

I think I'll pass, sorry, I just somehow can't convince myself I'll love the aesthetics... thanks anyway!

Thanks, AlphaOmega sold me his Gebhardt which I'm happy with - out of interest though, how much would you want for it? (Also what state is it in?)

Thanks - unfortunately not quite what I need, I'd misjudged it by eye.

Thanks - so I would guess that Deda is selling those as the 40cm version due to them measuring outside-outside. Cheers, I'll have another think about it.

The Deda bars, are they 38cm c-c as measured by you, or do they say '38cm' on them? Just clear up any potential misunderstandings - Deda seems to measure outside-outside rather than c-c. So a 38cm c-c bar would probably be the 40cm (o-o) in the Deda measurement system?

Either seems like an option (though I'd lean towards S500s I think)... what's their condition and how much would you want for them? @Si46 @broken_777

Hi, I'm looking for a set of road (drop bar) brake levers in black, ideally with relatively wide hoods. No shifting required, so I'm looking for pure brake levers, not brifters.

Anyone got something lying around in decent condition?

Ok this might be a stupid question, but why is there a sprocket on this front wheel?

The lowest stem in that picture (black) - what angle and length is that?

Are these gone?

Thanks! I saw those online but the prints are slightly different so probably a different year - I can safely assume the actual measurements would not have changed?

Where are you based, are the prices for collection or posted?

Potentially interested in either the Cowbell 2 or the Ergonova. Do you happen to have the exact numbers for the drop for both of them, as well as the width in the drop of the Cowbell 2?

Oh sorry, I missed this when you wrote it - looking specifically for black ones I'm afraid! Thanks anyway. (Still looking btw)

Yes, basically. The thing is that for many countries, having to pay import duties is normal so you always have to be prepared for that. As we're just about still living in an EU country, we don't usually think about it that much because most items will be shipped from within the EU, but that might change fairly soon.

One of the things I thought I'd have left behind when I moved here from Switzerland, but apparently not...

I would classify that as a 'weird but wonderful' car... Well good luck with the sales, if I was 20 years further into my career I could possibly even afford those speakers :D Some really good stuff there!
