Past middle age here...

Would keep this as the runaround, and still might, but for a few cm... Which does make a difference

And there was me in the 80s & 90s, riding fixed around East London, wearing a tweed jacket...

Clearly the bike famine and the single-speed craze are over.

Price drop to £370.

Pics are now up in the For Sale section

I have one. See for Sale.

Will need to be posted. This could delay things

Surly Steamroller , now hardly ridden and doesn't quite fit me and never will.

Replaced Hubs, and tyres and chain are recent. A lovely ride and the nearest candidate to a one bike that I ve ever owned.

Bars are 42cm,stem is 10cm, but I have others if you are interested. Also bar tape. Pedals stay with me.

The bike is in Whipps Cross or Walthamstow borders.

Do let me know if you are interested.

Surly Steamroller 53cm

Would this suit her? . It's in Walthamstow.

Yes, but I won't be back in London for 12 days. I post pics etc then.
Here's a brief description:
It's black, has drops bars, a new chain and hubs.

Hi, are you still looking. I have a medium(53) coming up for sale.

Norfolkbound, where in Norfolk are you headed to?

If you are going to be in Holt, Sheringham, Cromer then try N Norfolk Wheelers as a club .

They have a summer evening 10 series .

Ooh, is that on you tube . Not heard it since 78 ..

I have some Deore shifters and mechs to go with them.
However, I think the front mech only works with a Deore chainset.

CTT has made an announcement.

Provided a club has done a CV 19 risk assessment Type B, ie club members only, events can be run from the 5th July.

Open events are next..

BC is still not sanctioning events- which means that "official " club runs held by a BC affiliated club can't happen as clubs rely on BC for indemnity cover

Ah, glad to see that BCN has been posted--- they have been doing much good work over the last 2 years.

Re LV Velopark and Velodrome- Yes, they should and could do more but my experience of both them and Full Gas , who run most of the events in the Velodrome, is that they don't get involved in sport or community development. Full Gas also has , in my view, a questionable record on diversity.

I wonder if in East and NE London it might be better to work with the local clubs ie Islington, Hackney, Hubvelo, LVCC , & LVCC youth to develop a local approach. I wouldn't wait for BC to do anything.

Some ideas that come to mind are subsidized sessions at the park or on the circuit, confidence building club nights at circuit, accessible club runs and TTs, and , of course , first of all listening .

I have contacts with the East and NE London clubs, I used to be the LVCC chair, so would be happy to work with people on this.

I take it you are on the Isle of Wight.

Hello, I have a Red Triban 3 , look it up, that should fit the bill. It's got a new groupset and wheels, so it's not the stock bike you'll probably find with a search.

However, it's in Walthamstow and I am in Southampton until the 19th... So let me know if you are still interested around about then.

And now sold. Thanks everyone for their interest in the bike.
