Hey all, new on here, but thought I might throw up a picture of my latest bike just to test the water! It's a mid 80's Peugeot which i bought for £20 in a fine state off ebay for a daft MTB challenge. Got me around Llandegla MTB blue course with gears and now it's resprayed courtesy of Halfords and fixed. Plus I wanted to test whether I could post a pic, so here go's!

well done, balanced looks!

respray @ halfords??

Oh yeah, I've got a road bike too now! Cannondale Team Comp '87.

Groupset is a mixture of Shimano 600 tricolor/Ultegra & Shimano 105.
It's even got Biopace chainrings!

Changes in near future:
Black hoods.
Bolt on skewers instead of QR.
Swap the 105 headset for the Chris King on the track bike.
Swap out the crank bolts & dustcaps for 8mm jobbies (got em in my pocket)
Clean up rusty bolts.

Changes in not so near future:
Full DA 7400 group.
STI shifters.
Carbon fork/Ahead stem (got the converter for my CK headset)

I seriously love this bike. Special thanks to Pistoffski for nabbing it off eBay.

love it! v nice colour too

^^ what he said ;)

head tube angle? (just a guess)

do you have some sort of well that spouts out the nicest koga's every couple of days? sheez...

nothing erotic about that ride in italy though ;)

I beg to differ, think it's the exact same. Price comparison like that is a bit crude though. I had no clue at the time I sold it (too cheap). Did that because it was my own ride but too flexy for my taste.

yes
yes
no

wow... the man doesn't know what he's selling... and sucks at measuring bikes...

bargain. and lovely. just about what i am looking for but too small for me

Yes it is, I always update threads when I've sold something. So if it doesn't say 'sold' it's still available :)

Hell. That's the road brother of my Colnago Pista!!! Too big, sadly. Would be nice to find a 58 or 59... I even have a Kwantum Jersey now thanks to Roy from Rotterdam fixed gear/24K....

what do you mean not much interest?? someone already bid the asking price

thanks. personally I think this is even better... but hey, it's on the umpteenth classifieds page so as good as invisible to those not UingTFS ;)

In very good condition

when you encounter an alu bb cup with a f#cked up outside ring, stuck inside the bb shell of an alu* frame - like this deceased (brutally murdered, actually) dura ace unit, you could try the following:

• get a sharp metal pin that you can put a decent size hammer to
  
• knock out the bearing shell from the outside > inside of bb shell
  
• break out a fine hacksaw
  
• cut the bb shell; make sure to stay clear of the threads
  
• cut again, at 1/3" from the 1st cut
  
• use a screwdriver from the other side of bb shell to lever the middle part out (put something round, made of steel covered by at least 2 layers of cloth between lever and cup on inside of bb shell, so as not to damage threads)
  
• if necessary, cut once more, opposite the former 2 cuts
  
• knock on the outside edge of the cup ring towards centre of bb shell, from right next to both the 1st 2 cuts
  
• it will come out by scewing it loose if you haven't deformed it so much that it has dropped out already
  
• hey presto!
  
  

good luck!

sincerely, your amateur technician/butcher peter v

• steel frame/alu bb cups: torch it :)

I have noticed in a trend in a few auctions where I felt I got a bit of a bargain.

The seller claims to be sent the item and it then goes 'missing' in the post. I notify the seller, who happily issues a refund.

Up until recently I had never lost a single item, and have an excellent relationship with my postman. Domestic post rarely goes missing in my experience.

I think instead of going missing they are 'ghost' parcels who never get sent so that the seller can guarantee a price without setting reserves or resorting to shill bidding. Plus they get positive feedback for appearing honest and generous.

How much stuff have people on here 'lost' in the post?

Never when I sent something, 2 times so far after buying from ebay:

I won a set of pista cranks from Germany last february, got lost in the post, 150 euros gone and never found

I ordered yellow bartape from France, was said to be mailed, never arrived, now I got the funniest mail see below, probably meaning he sent another set yesterday

"hello
I is you the sending in simple letter.
On Monday I you sending the second letter.
best regards"

No, damn serious.
Pls tell me, what did I miss ?
Perhaps I misunderstood that Merckx bike.

I wouldn't jump into the mud & forests with that one either, it's neither fish nor flesh

maybe it's suitable for Hyde park tough :)

In case you want a Koga Miyata in that size: I have a frameset like this one, but a Roadspeed, size 60. Here's some pics (can't send you a pm sorry to semi-hijack this thread)

ah! fixed it, thnx

but on the classifieds page itself it's still wrong

too bad I can't change the typo in the title :(
