Honestly, I know the weather's shit and everything but... Is the Arkose dead? This seems like a lot of bike for not a lot of money to me.

Alright, that's fallen through, so now priced very much in order to sell...
£300 collection from Camberwell.
PMs please.
Thanks,
Tom

All but sold to @Jarek_Aki !
Thanks for the interest.

£340?
I really do need this gone! :-(

I think he only has one set, he's just using plurality because they are a pair, in the same sense as "a pair of scissors".

My Arkose is still for sale and now only £350 ONO. Please can someone buy it before I have to move flat? :-( Thanks!

Price drop: £350!

Thanks,
T

this was fucking wicked, thanks!

Oh, yeah that isn't bad, is it!
Okay well I'll have you firmly planted on the 'interested' list @russmeyer

UPDATED now with a few crap pics

Oh, arse! haha, sorry.
Yeah, maybe not then - would imagine that'd probably cost £100+ to ship, never mind potential leg work.
Again, though it's not that short. With a longer stem it'd be grand for a few extra inches.
Will try and get some real photos at some point, it's just finding a time when it's light in my flat!

DIBS @tramp pending cash and collection.

Thanks!

The stems are pretty short, so 10mm extra there wouldn't hurt too much.
Or, @russmeyer make me an offer on my 2nd large matt grey one:

He was certainly a better rower than most, though. Just trying to set realistic #2020goals

And thanks!

Updated for price and details

It's this one: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/6214151

Not much to say about it, really. It's good, but for whatever reason, barely used.
As with my Arkose, I don't think I'll have space to take it to a new abode.

Would suit someone wanting to transition between cycling and rowing a la Wiggins, I guess.

Yours for £50 ONO - DIBS @tramp pending cash and collection.

Team it with a £1 skipping rope (sold separately) and you've probably got all the gym you could ever need.

Obviously I don't want to post this, so collection in SE London would be best.
Failing that, It might squeeze in my car and so I could deliver it within reason.

Gracechurch St one is always good for that reason, Long Acre is often patchy but good.
Got a shirt in the latter the other day which is far too well engineered for the £19 price tag. It was by a brand called Nordam who, by the lack of search results, appear to have failed to actually make it to market. Possibly spent too much on fabric.

Yep, can confirm it's a Large. Guess it's about a 57cm then.

Sorry, good point. I believe it's "Large". I'm pretty much exactly 6ft if that helps.

Seeing that my accomodation situation is causing exasperation across the nation, or rather - I'm going to move flat, I think I'll need to only have one bike for a while.
Much as I love this bike, I only have two at the moment and I'm afraid the Brooklyn is just too dear to my heart.

So, ramble aside, I'm planning to sell my 2018 8spd Alfine Arkose, replete with mismatched rims owing to an earlier warranty job.
The chain needs tightening via the eccentric bottom bracket, the bar tape could do with a reset, there's a little dent in the top tube and I've put stickers on it, but none of it really takes away from what is such a great bike. The Pompino of the '10s.

If anyone’s interested, I'll give it a tidy and you can ride it away for £300
With riding in mind: I'd rather not post, so collection in SE London is advised.

UPDATE: Now with added images. Both are rubbish, but one's the whole bike and the other's the toptube dent. Cosmetic only, I'm sure; it was loaded up with bikepacking stuff and fell onto the corner of a glass bus shelter in rural France.

Key Features:

• Size L (56/57cm I reckon)
  
• 6061-T6 heat treated aluminium Frame
  
• Carbon Fork
  
• Shimano Alfine 8 speed Drivetrain
  
• TRP Hylex Hydraulic Disc Brakes
  
• WTB Nano Comp 700 x 40c
  
• Shimano SPD pedals
  
  

Thanks for listening!
Tom

PS. obviously the stickers and saddle dangle thing can be happily removed.

The Alfine model is currently at a pretty decent discount straight from source, too...

700c wheels with flip-flop hub wanted for single speed build.
Please, I beg of you, show me whatchya got!

Thanks,
Tom

Reckon my lanky mate might be keen. I'll let you know!

Are Aerotracks fixed/fixed?

You just know his excuse is going to be about having 'bigger fish to fry' or something, even though his entire reputation relies on his mock-celebrity aesthetic.
What's shocking to me is that despite his class clown act he clearly fancies himself as a bit of a no-nonsense, beloved Churchill type. Does he not realise that Churchill was too, a rich, lumbering shit cunt?

Holyyy shiiiiiit
