(For comparison here's the same saddle from ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2015-Sales-of-new-SMP-full-carbon-fiber-bike-bicycle-saddle-hollow-skin-paint-V-/181662770785)

I see that now - that was the going rate when I got it a year or so ago. £20 then.

I've just switched to a Dynamic after a few years on a Fizik Arione, and after a little adjustment (a little higher and a little further back than the Arione) it's incredible what a difference to my posture and riding position it makes. It's padded enough to be fine without bibs too.

I've got an Aliexpress full carbon knockoff that I'm not using, in white with red decals - properly ugly but someone might want it to try out before going for the real deal? It's as new, never been fitted. £30 collected in N/E/Central, anyone? PM me if you want it.

I'll take this if it's still available? PM'd

My girlfriend and I were thinking of doing something like this in August - but we're limited to road tyres (hipster clearances/superlight touring style). Do you guys know of good paved routes that follow the same way as route 7?

You might also want to talk to @Enyke about the campaign that their new IWGB union couriers and logistics branch has got going on?

I'll take them! PM'd.

Cheers for those suggestions, I wonder what stops the emergency derailleur from swinging around though? Isn't it just to get you home if yours is buggered? Axle size might not matter at this point. Basically I want to make my beater fixie (NYCBikes Cityfixed) into a racked runaround 1x5 or similar... @Pifko @Landslide

I've got a long-term slightly stupid build plan brewing... does anyone know if I can get hold of a derailleur hanger for track dropouts, a la this: http://www.fyxation.com/blogs/fyxation-1/8291781-quiver-frameset-removable-derailleur-hanger? (Fyxation sell a whole kit, but I'm only after the hanger for now)

I follow this guy on Twitter who posts imaginary cities: https://twitter.com/oniropolis

Thanks, I thought that might be the case - will have a rethink.

Sorry if this or something like it has been answered elsewhere, I UTFS'd and didn't find nowt.

My girlfriend is after a granny gear on her road bike, which has a fine range of gears for normal riding, but last time we went touring, the hills were a bit tricky for her fully loaded.

She's got a 9spd Mirage rear derailleur, with the biggest sprocket on the cassette 26t. Front inner ring is 34t or 35t. What's the biggest rear sprocket she could fit without having to change the derailleur too? Or could she get a smaller front ring, like a 32t, to also affect the ratio?

Another Campag cassette question, if anyone's still on this thread - my girlfriend is after a granny gear on her road bike (which has a fine range of gears for normal riding, but last time we went touring, the hills were a bit tricky for her fully loaded).

She's got a 9spd Mirage rear derailleur, with the biggest sprocket 26t. Front inner ring is 34 or 35. Does anyone know what's the biggest rear sprocket she could fit without having to change the derailleur too? Or could she (for instance) get a smaller front ring, like a 32t?

I've seen these in the flesh, they're great. GLWS dudes (and can you print on my softshell?)

Did I just watch a youtube video which is a phone film of a youtube video?

I'll take the Rapha jacket if it's still about, PM'd.

I went past this yesterday morning too - the motorcyclist was gone and popo were directing traffic, Addison Lee car parked up across the bike lane and cyclists getting unnecessarily stressed out by having to drive slowly around an accident, same as everyone else. Hope the rider's okay.

I know this isn't necessarily the place for requests, but I don't want to sign up for Github for a minor issue - @Velocio @blueprints can you make it so that outbound links in posts open in a new tab as a rule?

(And is it possible - probably more difficult - to not use URL masking for outbound links? For the sake of argument, if I were at work and I wanted to follow a link, I'd like to be able to eyeball it to guess if it were SFW...)

@Paramounted Not really calling you out as a bad cyclist man... just after watching that GoPro clip I worried for your future health! Should have gone in Spotted really. Nice forks, what are they?

Shout out to the guy on the green Brooklyn this morning who drafted a bus over Waterloo bridge at 35km/h about 2 inches from its bumper. Proper brakless ninja.

Yeah, I paid more attention to it as I was riding home last night and it seems to only happen in lower gears... slack cable is the answer. Cheers.

I've got SRAM rival levers, and one of them makes a loose-part buzzing noise when I'm riding - it stops when I put my hand on the shift lever as I ride, but I can't see what to tighten up. Any advice appreciated!

Here's mine: I went touring in France a few months ago, and when we got there and were unpacking the bikes we found that my left SRAM lever was fucked - the main body had snapped in such a way that the pinion around which the lever pivots was loose, and when I braked it fell apart. Luckily the shifter was still working, and a few cable ties and rubber bands later...

Twelve weeks later, this fix is whittled down to one cable tie and still going strong.

I'll take the aNYthing sweater, PM coming.
