I moved to London 2 weeks ago and it's still 20 miles to the start line!!!

I am also doing this. Did it last year on geared, should be fun with ss

+lots not riding it alone.

I've done a few longer cycles, mostly about 80-90miles but one was a double century (200miles) with a friend. We did it for fun (!).

We averaged just under 17mph (12hrs of cycling time) but then we were doing it as a challenge. I'd say that bike fit is incredibly important - mine is not the best and I had various numb bits afterwards. I had a problem with numb toes since I was using SPDs and touring shoes so the cleat was pressing slightly into my foot. I also got bad shoulder ache from just letting my back rest forward on my arms.

Planning a route that goes past several villages with shops is a very good idea so you can refill water bottles and food supplies.

A few useful points.
I used GPS to navigate (much easier).
I broke 3 spokes on my rear wheel - check it before you go, maybe take some spares too.
I couldn't go near sweet food by the end of the cycle.
Padded shorts = essential.
Repair kit = essential.

Hope this is useful.

Looks like a good route.... quite flat where I used to live in Willingham. I take it this wasn't single speed?

Needing to work with Windows makes my desktop sad :(

I have always liked Kingsley Photographic on Tottenham Court Road (http://www.kingsleyphoto.co.uk/).

Not sure if they do Olympus but its worth asking.

I am a Nikon man myself so not sure about the flash. Would check out www.warehouseexpress.com for price.... much cheaper than most and good service.

Thought i would try here before ebay.

Both were bought from www.freshtripe.co.uk in anticipation of winning a frame on ebay. When i didn't win i decided to stick with my Fillmore for the summer.
Neither have been used.

£25 each. Pick-up from central London preferred.

edit: or £45 for both

Cheers, i keep seeing nice builds around where i work (percy street). There was a great Bob Jackson in green with yellow transfers parked on Goodge street the other day!

your welcome to them rg, i need threaded

Hi,

Have been lurking on the forums for just over a month.
I have an '08 Fillmore (thank god for the cycle to work thing) but I'm hoping to build something i can call my own this summer. Sorry in advance if i ask any stupid questions.

Hi, are the forks threaded?

If jimalex is not interested, does anyone else want the stem and bars? ^^ They are available for pick-up from Percy Street (off TCR)

If not then i guess they go on the 'bay.

I have a NOS 3TTT Modelo 84 Stem and NOS 3TTT Gimondi 26.0 Track Bar. Bought them for 60 including packaging. You can have them for 55.

They haven't been used.
