My partner and I had an offer rejected on a place this week. If we want to put an offer in on another place can we use the same AIP? The offer on the new place would be approx 50k lower than the offer we made on the first place so in theory the original AIP should be fine to show as evidence of our funds? Apologies if this is a stupid question

Any thoughts on how to repair this properly? I bought a second hand EPS derailleur but the seller didn’t make it clear that the cage has been previously repaired… looks alright but would prefer a more substantial fix

My mate had his Cannondale stolen last night from outside his flat (in a secure hallway). He chased them for fifteen minutes to Stepney Green when they pulled a knife on him and started chasing him back. It has an XT groupset on it and an Old Man Mountain rack on the front. Please DM me if you see it anywhere

Does anyone have an EPS interface unit V3 going spare?

After the above - please DM if you can help

Cheers both @sohi and @atz - appreciate the insights

Has anyone got an old HRM going spare? My Garmin strap is very unreliable these days though the HRM unit itself seems fine

Have you tried Condor?

£35

Does anyone have a Look 785 Huez RS they don’t want? Preferably XL, white and rim brake friendly

After a headset press and crown race remover to swap headset over, ideally East. Can anyone help? If you've got cup removers too then all the better though I am aware a flathead screwdriver will suffice

Need all of the above to swap over a headset - ideally east. Please Dm if you can help

I’ve a pair of Athena skeleton brakes up for grabs - very lightly used and lots of life left in current pads.

Collection E14 or I can post at cost

£40

I’m after Campagnolo EPS derailleurs and other necessary gubbins - please DM if you can help

Did you get anywhere on this? The wi space slc 2.0 looks decent other than the rubbish branding

Up again

Cheers. I thought as much. I actually found some compressed carbon elsewhere on the frame and am going to return it, so it’s all somewhat academic now

Is this anything to be alarmed by? There is a very thin impression running up the carbon steerer of some forks that I have just purchased along with a very lightly used second hand frame.

Is it just from the machining process? It is very uniform - I have seen steerers that have been marked from compression before from a stem being over-tightened and this doesn’t look like this but you never know right… @gbj_tester

My partner’s old Bern helmet, size Medium (55.5-57 cm). Few scuffs but never dropped or crashed… collection from E14

Please DM me if you want it

Rode up the Tourmalet yesterday morning as part of a 100km loop, starting and ending in Argoles-Gazost. I climbed the west side taking the Voie Laurent Fignon, which has the advantage of being closed to all traffic. Weirdly there were no other cyclists on it, maybe not that many people know about it but compared to the endless caravans it is infinitely preferable. The summit was like a building site and packed with people for good measure. Other than the fantastic descent down the east side, a real highlight was an alpine marmot scuttling along next to me during the brutal penultimate km on the way up.

Thanks both. Neither quite fit the bill so the search continues

@dbr worth trying to contact info@lookcycle.com again as they have always been really useful whenever I’ve needed to find some arcane info about older Look frames and they’ve normally been very quick to respond

Hi
I'm after a hybrid for my mother-in-law's birthday. She is relatively fit, however gentle gearing would be handy and ideally a build that doesn't weigh a tonne as she is in her late 60s. Step-through preferable.
Please DM me what you have, ideally London collection.
Cheers

Today I rode up to Lac du cap de long from Saint Louy Soulan, a 23km climb, 5.7% average with 1354m of altitude gain. The average percentage belies how testing this climb is at times with two particularly steep albeit beautiful hairpin sections. The top is a dead end, as you summit at a spectacular dam. The descent is technical and hard to open up too much on, though there are several other dams on the way back down you can drop down to and then climb back up from. Well worth a visit for anyone in the area looking for a tough but quieter climb than some of the more famous Pyrenean climbs.
