An architecture student friend is currently running a project at Look Mum No Hands centering around the idea of urban countryside spaces. As the final part of his event he has organised a race (or just a ride) taking in the parks of London.
Ride to a park, take a photo, and the person with the most points wins some prizes! We (Tokyo Fixed) have donated some gift vouchers for 1st (£50), 2nd (£20), and 3rd (£10) place. Along with some t-shirts. Starts and ends at LMNH on Saturday between 10 and 4.http://urbancountryside.wordpress.com/

Also, is the BB you have Italian (ISO) tapered? If not, don't tighten the cranks on to it.
My guess for those cranks is 115mm ISO -
It's friday. The weekend begins tomorrow... £240...

Had our factory in china throw me together a new beater for spring... Yes, I'm that tall.
Should arrive with painted samples of our new frames in a week or so!

P.S. soft dibs even if they don't drop. Been waiting for these to come up for a bit but need to assess finances en la morning.
Hit me up you're interested still.

I'm bowling tonight and could do with some beer money. £250 collected from me today!

Now the Cannondale is a track bike I no longer need these "road" wheels. HB7600 hubs (single sided fixed) laces 36h 3x to open pros (CD ano) with DT swiss spokes. Never seen a brake, maybe about 200 miles on the rims. I've just re-packed the hubs with Phil grease and replaced all the bearings and seals - smooth as buttah. Also had a go in the wheel stand, so perfectly true/round.
120mm 10mm rear axle, 100mm 9mm front axle (standard)
Only issue is some marks on the braking surface from a particularly scratchy pot hole (I think?) No deformation of the rim in any way at these points, so it's just superficial damage.
Apologies for shit iphone pics£275
Available for collection from me at work (Tokyo Fixed) or postage at £6 to anywhere in the UK

165mm? Just because I know people will ask...
Best cranks out there.

Marathon winter's did the trick last night riding 7 miles across town in heavy snow. Did a lot better that the cars...
-
from personal experience?
My park tool tension meter disagrees, they are very round with no visible hop at the joint.From personal experience of handling and building loads of both.
-
Is it not equally misleading to say they're not as stiff as an open pro?
They're not as stiff as an open pro, no where near. Nor are they as round off the machine or as well made.
But they're prettier.
-
No, just a B259. You could have bought it from anyone, anywhere...
I have to keep your old B259 to replace it with the new model. -
These bars are now officially re-called. This only applies if the bar has a separate 'band' around the centre of the bar at the clamp section. Bars that are one-piece with a lump and the centre are not re-called.
This style of bar is re-called:
We can swap all of the bars here at the shop (Tokyo Fixed) and we have stock of all colours as replacements.

Sandy_l has it for now. I'll keep y'all posted

totally stock bike that I bought a while back and never use, 24 cruiser, all working A OK. Currently sat at my friends house in his yard in Dalston, might have some rusty bolts but other than that it's sweet...
Looks like this
£75?

I have size 15 (UK) feet, so SIDI are the only manufacturer I can buy from

I'm going to come down for a go at Herne Hill in the spring. Currently using Sidi MTB shoes on all my bikes, with time ATAC Alium pedals (hipster). I'd like some road sidis for the track, but I just don't think I can afford them.
what would be the best pedals for Herne Hill that I can use with my current 2-bolt MTB shoes? -
Finito. Bring on Herne Hill
-
I wonder if Time has discontinued Aliums. Not that they are in short supply but I can't find anything about them on their website.
I found that one of the springs is loose on mine and although there's no noticable lack of bind, it does make a lot of racket. Should I be worried about potential failure?
Out of stock with the distro...just checked. If they have it's a real shame!
-
Don't like the picture, but the bike is fine ;)
What's the rack? Anyone?
-
Is the price any good?
seems good for sub £200 if the parts listed on it are as stated.
Please don't kill the puppies
