Oh I see, removable faceplate stem. Thanks

Might make it a little better but it's beyond being just dented so not sure ultimately if it will work. By try with a stem not sure what you mean? How?

For reals?

Someone tried and failed to steal my bike - a lovely if slightly ratty gazelle champion mondial, and in the process totally crumpled the top tube. The tube itself is not bent out of shape, but the the damage is pretty bad. Is this safe to carry on riding? Thank you

Looking for the above, for a bike that has fork eyelets and cantis. Anyone got anything?

Thanks for this, I'll have a check for this marking on mine and challenge the LBS on it

possibly, but I find it odd as the brifters aren't especially modern, they are probably pre-millenium if they're 8 speed mirages right? And also the bend on a compact bar is harsher than on a more traditional gently sloped road bar...

Thanks! I've been going mad looking on the internet for evidence that new compact bars are different to standard 'old' ones and can't find any

Could the hive mind help resolve a query - I thought all road bars regardless of clamp size had the same grip diameter of 24mm? Is this true or false?

I want to swap a set of OS compact drop bars with ahead stem (currently mounted on an ahead adaptor) for traditional quill and non compact road drops - will I be able to simply switch the (8 speed campagnolo mirage shifters) over between bars without encountering shifter clamp diameter issues? LBS is telling me I won't be able to keep the shifters but I've never heard of this problem...

Thanks in advance

This is now sold, thanks everyone

+1 call all your local vets to let them know, and also call the shelters - Celia Hammond, Feline Friends, Cats Protection etc. Do try nextdoor.co.uk in case you haven't already, I see loads of cats reunited with owners on there in my area. Good luck

4th dibs unfortunately.... I should know by tonight if it is going to sell to 1st in line

Yes it is, let me know if you want to come and have a look

Sorry having a nightmare posting photos!

.

I am 5'4" - the downtube is 48 ctc and the top tube is 51 ctc

Photo of BB shell (had been trying to find frame number, not there???) and in light of the rusting which I had forgotten about, price is coming down to £400.

I think they would definitely take a 32, maybe even 35 but I'd have to check. It has 25c on right now and as you can see in the photos there is a lot of room

:)

Yep

Photos...

SOLD Mercian road/touring build with minimal miles in it. Small frame for someone approx 5'3"-5'6". Located in E5 and I could deliver within London.

Lovely frame and nice parts apart from the wheels that I would recommend upgrading - crazy clearance for anyone wanting to put something chunky on! I did the basic build myself but the bike was then serviced/had gears indexed at Hub Velo.

Frame: King of Mercia (or I was told it was a KoM by seller) metallic green, 19" square, cosmetic is ok barring fade to decal, a scratch to top tube, and a scratch with a small ding on the downtube. The person I bought it off had just used the frame for a round the world tour so it has done a lot of miles and this does show.
Group: Sram rival shifters, Red cranks, Rival front and rear derailleurs and rival cassette
Wheels: cheap/light set of racing wheels, one shimano not sure the other, bought second hand off here as a temporary measure.
Cockpit: new Deda RHM 38cm w/ cinelli caleido tape (new, tape v clean), new ETC stem (75mm I believe)
Brakes: V nice new IRD cantis with basically new pads
Charge spoon saddle on Pinarello seatpost.

Feel free to DM for more info/phots if needed.
Looking for £450

Thanks to everyone who got in touch - all sorted now!

See photo attached of my bike - need to replace the rear wheel that's been pinched. Anyone got anything vaguely similar they want to sell me? Preferably with a tire on it, preferably pickup somewhere east/Hackneyish. Thank you

Thank you @thrasher
