Tel, my man,
yes, am needing the bb too, bolts are handy also let me know hombre.

bump ^^

Yo,

a couple of months ago the tapering of my left crank arm turned into a circle and tore from the bottom bracket on the way back home. Luckily I was just round the corner whilst it was happening, it was raining, things look sad. My poor Koga had been mutilated. Took him to my local bike place, said that they could fasten the arm on for one last go, but that it would be wise to start looking for a new crank and bb, there was a problem making it stiff as well. I knew when he said this that the arm would fall off at the worst moment, and it did last night (after a month of hard riding) on the way to a birthday house party that I sadly couldn't get to because of it,

so,

I've got to say good bye to this nicely made 'vintage' shimano 600 chainset, does anyone have a similar set going? It's 170mm in length with square tapering, all other bolts would be appreciated. I'm quite a bike n00b so help goes a long way.

Thanks.

Yo Peter,

excuse the naivety, is that a Koga Miyata produced saddle or an Ariake Jaguar II NJS which has just been stamped with the Koga Miyata brand? As the description says "Koga Miyata stamped in sides, some light sanding and a touch of leather colouring can make that disappear." it makes me think that it's almost not meant to be there at all, if you know what I mean?

Looking for education here if there's something that I'm not getting.

I'm looking for a KM saddle in great condition, preferably not in brown or black. Saying that, neither in some fluorescent acid lime or yellow.

Anyone with the goods?

Have PM'd about the g5 scoots dude.

Final update. Tried to contact Pink Panther and Skankymanky about their dibs and what my situation was with selling the Centurion and picking up a Koga the following day, basically that the sale had to be Today or Wednesday before I collected the other one. I needed the cash to be certain to book a train to Norwich to pick up the Koga, and couldn't do any confirmation before I had the certainty of the Centurion deal.

Waited on a few guys (Skankymanky sorry I only gave you 24 hours to respond) and was saved a lot of stress from Mountaingoatmatt who was a super gem and picked it up without hassle. If ever you're going to make a deal with this him be assured that he's a very cool and relaxed dude.

Thanks to RVL (need to give you your chainwheel!) and MGM, the previous and later generations of owners to the sexy ride of the Centurion, a real pleasure meeting and dealing with you both

SOLD.

I've just seen this so have yet to reply to shankymanky, as things are I'm in communication with pink panther so he's got 2nd dibs on her..

..my inner mystic is telling me that Pink Panther's going to be the man for it, though things may change as they always seem to..

Bump on this thread, I held off other buyers for one dude who has now fallen at the last hurdle, not Pink Panther, (I've PM'd you dude).

About to get some new tyres for her also so asking for £230. Let's get it on.

Oh good lord, i have 700 quid. But it's my living money for the next 3 months..... so tempting. Can one survive hunger by riding and looking at nags?

Dude just buy my Centurion!

James, yeah one of those!

Sure I'm interested and will PM now.

Bump again.

Yo homeys

I'm desperate for tyres, front and back. 700 23c for a road bicycle.

I'm living in Chiswick and can of course travel to areas like, Hammersmith, Shephards Bush, Notting Hill and anywhere in the area, avoiding underground so, bus crews let me know.

Watch ya got.

Would have been into it if it didn't have bigxtop.com sewn on the outside. Nice product though.

Who buys things with cards these days? The last time I walked into Apple I asked one of my tricks to pull out a money roll from the inside of her sugar and boom I've been macking through the interwebs ever since, I be rollin'.

iPimp.

Nice knowledge about that credit card receipt game, let's see it.

Okay, I'm saddened to have to say this as I dislike having to spread the bad word, but I had a deal with urbanmining and he ACCEPTED my offer of £260, we've exchanged all the details about bank accounts over the last couple of days and had established a nice rapport. I've just now received an email saying that he's giving it to a guy from Leeds (congratulations, my upset is not with you) who has come in at the asking price. Now Urbanmining had the distaste to add that 'that was your risk' to his email, when I believe that when a deal is accepted there is no risk and I would have been happy to pay that little bit more had I even been considered. I don't know if it's typical seller etiquette on this forum to go back on one's word, to break a deal and not even be told that if someone offers a little more then they'll go with it. I may be horribly old fashioned but in the past I've stayed true to my accepting the deal I've made at the time and not been tempted by any thing else, doing so breaks the bonds of trust between fellow man.

All I'm saying is, if ever you're going to make a deal with this person, he doesn't mean it, and he's not going to give you a chance if someone offers you more because he doesn't have the common decency to consider anyone else other than his business self.

I do not wish for this to be a cry in the dark but merely a matter of warning for anyone else dealing with him or other potential people on this forum,to not get carried away by people's word and to not set things into action surrounding deals that are a hair's breadth from closing.

Rik you're that much of a saint that you'd wired the £25 without even telling me. What a nice surprise. The chainset is a Sturmey Archer in black, can't tell you any more than that.

Just to show good faith to everyone here, not as a sign of paranoia, the bicycle can go for £220 which is what I initially bought it for, so that there is no possible indication of any 'gain' here for me and so that the loss in money and my initial mistake of seeing that it was a fixed gear bicycle, doesn't mean that anyone else has to suffer.

Hi Winch,

"Don't know why you bought this" don't be like that dude after having my bike stolen I was desperate for another one quickly. Then the bike was sold to me with a totally defect crank (Rik had destroyed the threading whilst adding new pedals) which I've replaced, and I overlooked the matter that it was a fixed gear bicycle as it's usually mentioned in the description, yes, I didn't notice that it did not have gears. I spent £75 getting a new crank, having it fit on and then replaced both inner tubes as both had three punctures in (my total cost for the bicycle now hitting £300). Rik then kindly contributed £50 for the repair which he had not yet done before I offered the bicycle to you. After now feeling okay about fixed gear I want to move to Bristol which is the hilliest city in Europe and want to sell this bicycle to put money towards a new one.

There's nothing to be suspicious about, I offered it to you after fixing it as a loss for myself and have now offered it to Lazysuperhero for £245, I'm a good person and didn't feel to make this whole history public because there is now nothing wrong with the Centurion, I'm even throwing in pedals (of course not the ones that came with it). Notice how I didn't say anything on here at the time, or cry in this thread about Rik's mistake and instead just solved the issue without any negativity having to be put in the open.

I would also like to add that the bicycle rides really beautifully, the frame is incredibly light and is a joy. As a whole there's just been a bit of stress about getting her to this point and I don't wish to add gears to her as I feel it's best to keep her as she is. I did say from the onset I wasn't happy about adjusting to the fixie lifestyle, and that is still the reason for why I'm selling it, please don't judge me for that reason. I just hope that no one is put off by my initial weird experience.

Dibs. Emailing you now.

Is this one still available Saarf?

Will be selling her in two weeks time, if people are interested then.

Sweet ride dude into those rims.

Anyone else interested in this frame? Haven't heard anything from DWL in a while.

Yo Redrum,

Will take the halo twin tyres instead. Still coming to pick them up as arranged, the nomad's can go to TS.
