You seem nice.

It is one of the only 56cm frames on eBay. That hard to find size.

That's so fucking weird. I've only just noticed it's reversed.

I've just stuck it on the turbo bike and given it a good tug and rock - couple of nasty creaks but it seems to have settled. Couple of weeks on the commuter and I'll see about risking it; I've made two calls to my partner after mechanicals recently. I think a third ("I've got an arse full of carbon") might just tip her over the edge.

Ha, I did wonder what that was for. How funny to include that but not the 'handcrafted in italy' bit.

113g on my scales, btw. Positively lardy.

Deets. Love the genuine hologram.

Snide aspide arrived. Ordered on the 11th and came today. Seems pretty good quality; going to try it on the turbo and commute before venturing further.

Zuus selling foakleys again for a 300% markup. Ballsy.

Ah cool, glad to have helped! I was certainly glad for mine when the heavens opened today.

Evans do stock them if you want to check size. I went big enough that I could fit a couple of layers underneath for wintry MTB.

Ooh, in black too now https://www.cyclestore.co.uk/endura_mt500_waterproof_jacket_2_2018-ID_68015

Orange is nice though. Looks more like a walking jacket than a hi vis affair.

If I was buying again I'd probably go small, but I'm not very broad.

I got an endura mt500 recently and it's great. Use it day to day as well as for commuting and it doesn't feel too 'waterproofy'. Only £129 if you get it in orange too!

I'm 6ft/74kg and the medium is a tad baggy, so sounds like you'd be a small.

Yes, 1 1/8. Let me know if you're interested, I'm pretty open to offers. If you can get me in the next couple of days I'll do it for £65 posted as I'm back to work next week so posting becomes more tricky.

Pretty tatty, but all works and threads are all ok.
Bit of a bump in the top tube but it hasn't split the tubing or anything, so should be ok. Main issue is the bubbling paint but it's only cosmetic (just very cosmetic).

I'm sure it'd make a decent commuter for someone.

Only asking £65 plus postage from york/collection, which includes frame + fork + cane creek S2 headset + very cool long Cannondale stem (worth the asking price just for that)

Puke.
Not sure what's making me more nauseous, the whole bike, the brooks, the bar tape, the spacet stack, the 'giving a bike a girls [sic] name', or the people on Twitter and Instagram hailing it as a piece of great art.

I got it. It's the bottles. The bottles with copper spouts so when you hit a pothole you take a chunk out of your palate.

Beat me to it. It looks like one of those £150 new 'road bike' things you get on eBay. Just missing the over rotated bars and thumb shifters.

I think I lost mine when it was charging rather than it falling off tbh. I always thought it was pretty secure. No harm in making sure though.

I lost the cover on my original one. Blu tack is a good tip, I cut my knee on the (surprisingly sharp) contact once.

'Merino' arm warmers are crap even for £6. Only 50% merino, feel cheap as fuck, they'll be going back. Merino socks seem like they'll be ok for MTB and the headband is decent. The lezyne style lights are decent if you can get them. I have a set from last time and the front is particularly good, so I bought a spare set this time round.

Now elsewhere

Pains me to do this, but I've made the decision to sell these wheels as I'm not using them.
They're 38mm and decent weight 780 + 620 = 1400 with rim tape. I was told by the guy who I bought them from that Neil Pryde is owned by Reynolds, so the rims are highly likely to be Reynolds (Assault?) and a bit of google image searching does seem to suggest that might be true.

Now the problem: the front is absolutely fine, spins great, is true, little wear etc. However, the rear has an issue with the rim where a few of the spokes are just pulling through very slightly. I think I bought them like this, and the guy who I bought them off was heavier than me and had never had a problem. I have ridden them a fair bit on the flat and on hills, but since being made aware of the issue by a bike shop, I've only ridden them on the flat. The issue hasn't got any worse after 100 miles of flat riding by me, including trying to put the rear out of true/exacerbate it by doing endos etc, so they're pretty solid!
The reason that I'm selling is that although I'm sure it'd be fine, I just can't bring myself to descend on the rear as I know there's an issue and would feel like a dick if something were to go wrong. I have no qualms about doing flat rides on them and have done that a few times, but a spoke going at 45mph has a different outcome to one going at 20mph.

With that in mind, the price is basically for just the front, with the rear thrown in - if you choose to use it, then that's up to you! I just need to spend the money elsewhere, and although they look gorgeous, they're just not getting used enough.

I paid £450 for the pair, the seller refunded £200. I would like £210 posted to the UK for the pair please, which I think is a good price for such a good wheelset.

Wrong thread mate.

;)

Thanks. It's all about the ridiculous OG stem.
