I emailed him last week, no reply so far.........

So I asked Hilary about a Gazelle AA Champion Mondial frame he had advertised if it was definitely an AA and not a AB frame, he replied that Gazelle didn't make AB Champion Mondial frames, so I bought it, it arrived, I unboxed it and guess what is said on the chainstay clear as day?

In the process of buying a frame from Hilary I noticed he uses Yodel for delivery.......

Ordered my 'Wiggins' on Tuesday night, arrived Thursday morning and got to say I'm really happy with it, really well made and great service.

I've been using the Shimano r-550 canti's for about 3 years, they do the job but I've never used any other canti so can't compare them to anything else.

1005 positive feedback.. why are you asking us?

Sorry I thought my original post spelled it out! I'm asking as most of the feedback is for parts and not wheels he's built, and certainly no feedback on his wheels will be after long term use, does that make it clear for you now?

Oh dear....

Oh dear?

Hi,

I was shopping around for a rear fixed wheel and found a guy called matt templeton on ebay selling this:

His rep looks good, just wondering if anybody has bought from him to see how good (or not) his product actually is........

Rear tyre logo not lined up with valve

Porn fail, but otherwise a reasonable effort.

Also, is it just me or is that saddle not level?

I rather fancied the Brooks bar tape too, ended up with this which is nice apart from the silver logo...

My only experience of aluminium frames is my pals early ('97 or '98) Giant TCR, lasted a few years of heavy use before the head tube cracked, never crashed in it's life either!

I ordered a bike from them, it arrived within a few days. I did have to get in touch with them regarding a small part, first person I spoke to was useless, 2nd person was spot on & the part arrived a couple of days later.

Visp is the way to go, keeping in mind that you're on a budget. Note that some people will advise you against getting a Visp, these people are either a. pretentious bellends or b. from the stone age and wary of any aluminium frame. Either way for the money these are handsome frames:


You know, I think I'd rather select a frame based on the quality and longevity rather than how it looks!

Bump......

Unused, taken off my SE Premium Ale as soon as I got it, this is listed on the spec as:
SE Alloy, 46T Alloy Chainring, BCD 144
It's also, errrrrrmmmm, very blue!

they go in the end?

They certainly did

Still around? PM me if so

dibs clips and straps at asking price.

let me know, can paypal or BT

They are hopefully sold (pending payment) but I'll get in touch if it falls through.

These are still for sale if anyone is interested.........

How odd, it's still on!

First link didn't work, still doesn't. Second one does.

Don't know much about the hubs but the rims are good, I ride them myself. Seems like a good price but that depends on the hubs. Do some searching on the forum. Someone must have tried them.

Turns out the ebay seller is the shop Dave Hinde, judging by the bad press the shop gets I'm thinking twice about the ebay side even if there feedback is good! Anybody got any good Dave Hinde feedback?

Only time I used them I ordered on the Saturday, got an email on the Tuesday saying an item was out of stock but it arrived by the end of the week, no complaints really.......

Anybody reckon these are worth a punt?

I've attached a photo now to let you see what they are like.
casaBLANKA PM me your details & they are yours! Did you want them with the pedals as well? Just fyi, the pedals only have a slot for a single strap, dunno if you can put the second strap under the pedal?

Can't believe it took this long for me to find this thread! Seen a few SS/Fixed going about the city, not nearly enough though!
