Yep, still yours for the taking!

Can I get a pic of the seatpost please.

Hi guys, I have a PMP carbon seat post and the head has become loose from the post. It's still attached but occasionally swivels under pressure. Would I be able to just pop some glue in to get this attached properly?

how tall are you Amey???

^ and ^^

London roads are no short of a trail when it comes to surface quality.
The thick tyres take the blow and hydro disc brakes just work in any condition.

Totally, my journey is mostly back streets, many of which are horrific, nearly came off on Friday after hitting a pothole. My concern is that I dont want to get a bike I feel like im dragging to work, how well can something like this roll on Big Apples or similar?? I was riding to work on my GT pro series 24 on big apples and it was a bit of a drag.

Has anybody ridden one of these as a commuter???

Cheers man but I got one off ebay. £27.50 including postage, not bad I guess

Anybody? need to find one today or I'm gonna have to try my luck bidding on the bay.

Hi guys, I need a left hand crankarm for a 90s Shimano 105 crankset, happy to buy both arms tho!

Not too fussed about the length, basically these...

What you got?

Hi guys,

My shimano mx30 pedals have developed some play so I'd like to see a new set of bearings will fix them up. All the specs in online stores say they have sealed cartridge bearings however the service diagram from shimano shows them as containing regular ball bearings inside. Does anybody know what's actually inside so I can the right parts before opening them up??? Did they used to make them with ball bearings but newer ones are cartridge???

anyone?

Hey guys, I'm still trying to find the right bike for my daily ride to work and general pottering about on...

For many years I've been riding a 24" racing bmx with slicks, chopped down bars and a very long seat tube, I love it, it handles really well at low speeds for coming out of junctions, weaving between cars and is generally really predictable. It also absorbs much of the shittiness of the roads on my new daily commute.

My bmx is just too heavy for what I need tho, I bought a singlespeed a few weeks ago with an old 80s steel frame with lots of rake on the forks and a pretty slack head angle resulting in a bike that feels very planted at high speeds in a straight line but handles horribly at low speeds for example when weaving through traffic. The steering also likes to flip side to side when you stand up and pedal. new bars and a longer stem have gone some way to helping

I've realised I need something with much more direct steering as much of my commute is spent crossing busy roads, stopping and starting at junctions, navigating potholes, speed bumps, crack heads etc.

I'm thinking something with track style geometry but also with a wheelset that can suck up a bump without bouncing me around afterwards.

If you have something for sale that might suit please let me know or if you got an idea of any specific bikes i should be looking at then let me know too!

Oh yeh, can afford up to 300 english quid and it will need to be london based (im in brixton) as I would wanna have a wee try before buy.

Sam : )

I'm being a tw*t, what I really should be focussing on is getting my bike roadworthy!

where are you based? is it 1/8"?

looking for silver really, makes it go faster

Urgently required before I buy something cheap and rubbish.

I'm based in London (Brixton) so can collect.

Sam : )

hey, I'm really interested, can I come take a look tonight or tomorrow?? I'm in Brixton, where are you??

Sam

Cheers ltc but I'm only looking at complete bikes as I'm trying to simplify my life as much as possible right now!

Thanks EFC but I'm looking for something a bit more modern

: )

Thanks Adam, its a lovely bike but not for me, there are too many things I'd want to change, bet its comfy tho!

: )

Hey everybody.

I'm in the market for a second-hand singlespeed bike that would fit me at 5 feet 7 inches short.

I would consider paying up to maybe 450/500 although 300 is probably more appropriate as I dont want something Im going to worry too much about locking up.

Functionality and handling is at the top of the pile for me, it needs to work well and feel comfortable for my style of riding. I've owned and ridden plenty of bikes over the years and know that set up and compatibility between components is more important than how much they cost. That said, I am a bit of a ponce and do want the bike to look at least slightly sexy. I was very close to buying a new charge plug as for 400 quid its a lot of bike for the money but its slightly too dandy for me. I also spotted the Orbea dude which despite the ghastly paint job looks like its already set up pretty well for me, compact geometry, risers etc.

Im not really into the 70s/80s racing frame thing really I want a frame that was designed to be a singlespeed in the first place.

An upright riding position is what Im after and dont have the longest arms in the world even relative to my body so compact geometry will probably work best for me.

I'll consider fixies provided they can easily switched to a free wheel and have the provisions to run a front brake.

Apologies for waffling but hopefully it mean we dont waste each others time!

Oh yeh, must be in London so I can come and have a butchers
