That is some top bodging right there

@velovelo I PMed you recently, to request a viewing. have you seen it?

Also interested!

This looks a great deal for someone

@velovelo apologies I've been super busy. I'll find your message and respond.

Yeah I'd say still worth £250 if in really nice condition, and that one does look to be in good condition.

Glue from a hot glue gun is a good compromise - sturdy but removable with some levering. Just don't use heaps.

Plenty of things are reprehensible but also legal. Infidelity for example.

53 cm ish vintage racer with a few nice parts. And cut out lugs
£180, no bids, 30 minutes left. Might be worth an offer after ending.

Thanks, too wide for me

Thanks for the info. My friend had found a bike now but good luck with the sale.

Found on eBay

Drilling might well damage the frame threads. Avoid.

I agree with the above torx suggestion.

Second option is to use grabits (grab-bits?). Basically conical reverse drill bits, they chomp into the bolt head and grip it, and then when rotated further they start to unscrew the bolt. I have a full set you can come and use with me in N16.

Bars are 42cm c-c or o-o?

@njg234908 sorry the mate has since found something else

pooped!

Interested if it's still available. What's the stand over height?

I'm intereted in case @Pedalpower doesn't take this.

Is this for 700c or 27" wheels?

My housemate is after a nippy town bike.
She's 5ft 8in, so we're talking 54-56cm seat tube I'm guessing?

Ideally flat or sweep bars. Though I can always convert a road bike from drops to flat bars.

Budget £100-150.

I would personally go for the seatpost shim idea. I would also use some carbon assembly paste to improve the odds.

Elegant bike, we love to see it.

I have nuts already so could try that! I'd need longer bolts. But would the bolt head behave OK against the angled face?

M5 helicoil kits cost £25
knock-off versions are £10

If I repair my chunky aluminium seatpost collar (proprietary, irreplaceable) with two inserts from the knock-off £10 kit... fiery death? Better to get the proper kit?

There's enough material to handle the drilling, btw. It's a chunky lil boy.

Sounds like rear triangle shenanigans to me.

What checks, so far, have you done on the frame?
