I use a bike hut chain tool 10 speed and it worked fine on Shimano chains.

Nice looking...

That sounds a bit rubbish on the multiple codes thing.
Can you return things bought on-line to store?
They need a decent omnichannel project.

On the news this morning Aunty said it meant cars turning left would have to give way to bikes riding up the inside. It does not seem sensible to effectively promote riding up the inside of traffic generally, let alone a junctions.
However, I don't ride in London so not sure if the situation would be different for city riders.

Cripes, that's quick. Check the shipping address for me, we could use a site like that :)

large one for me please

Check out the Condor Strada finishing kit. In the black friday sale they were dead cheap and look really tidy. I've just added the stem to my titanium winter bike and it looks great. Even at non-black-friday prices they are good value when compared to Deda etc.
good luck with the build, imho there's nothing as satisfying as building your own transport...

At Mantel.com all the colours in all the sizes, £68 delivered...

only 3 days until Black Friday...

Showers out of action here. No smash up to work.

We are in serre chevalier. We had to get a couple of houses rather than one massive one. We will see a stage finish beer in hand all things going to plan.

We have around 20 from the club entered. There for the week after to watch a couple of stage finishes and a start.
Last year the etap was 2 weeks before the tour stage was run.

We've just been informed the showers at the office are out of action for at least 2 weeks. Any ideas on what sensible alternatives are around?

Nice...

I have a tc24 wheelset with almost new Schwalbe pro one tubs. 11 speed hub. £400 + shipping.

Cheers. Excellent

Always easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

They are not the lightest. But I got them as a bullet proof winter wheel and at around £200 they were a good price for a branded wheel.
No problems with crosswinds, as you say the profile is not that deep.
I run a 25mm tyres and they fit well but as with all Fulcrums they are a tight fit in the first instance.
They are coming into their second winter and I've done nothing to them over the summer and they are sweet.
There is a CX version with double bearing covers if you are worried at all about water ingress but I've seen none on mine.
Just to say a short valve is just not long enough to be able to fit a pump on even though it is visible. Lesson learned while on a very cold and wet ride.
I also put a little tape around the valve to stop it rattling against the rim.

Just to add the the Fulcrum/Campag piece on second hand availability...
I run Fulcrum Racing Quattro (the £200 set not the full carbon jobbies) when it's completely nasty - These won't be going onto the second hand market. I'm gonna run them into the ground and no-one will want a wheelset as shredded as these will be.
I also have the Fulcrum Racing 3 two way fit. I run these for when the weather is not biblical in tubeless mode. It is highly unlikely these will go onto the second hand market, they are great and I'll run these 'till they drop too.
My Fulcrum Racing zero I run tubeless, these are lovely too and see me around on sunny days or those big events. These may appear on the second hand market as I try to shave 10g off my bike weight ready for the next 'once in a lifetime event'.
So on this basis I'll keep my cheap wheels forever but chop and change my Sunday best wheels so they always look Sunday best.

Another vote for la passione. The summer ones are great. The winter ones are southern Italy winter weight if you know what I'm saying. Damn comfy though.
I have one jersey and race fit does not describe it. Still not brave (or thin) enough to wear it

It does seem a good scheme and of course lights are a must. Hopefully people will go to the lbs since they need the ticket stamped.
I wonder if they could have setup a temporary stall with a couple of them?

In Portsmouth they've been dishing out tickets!!

I think what I have is a 1953 Rotrax Shirley.
There are a couple of anomalies currently. The Simplex rear mech seems to be from the 80's and the Weinman brakes seem too new as well.
I've sent the frame number off to Rotrax in Southampton and hope to get confirmation soon as to the year and model.
It has been resprayed. I suspect the original colour is a metallic green judging by flaking areas of the respray.
Plans -
respray - red with white head tube and part of the seat tube.
Retain - Brooks b17. Great condition but needs new rivets. Bars, stem, seat post, cranks, gears, brakes and levers.
Replace - chain, cables and wheels.
I hope to get leather 'sew on' bar tape.

The somewhat foggy view this morning...

Pm'ed regarding set 1

I have this for sale, not central London (based south coast) and it is currently being cleaned before re-assembly. I have Shimano lever brakes on the drop bars along with the original straight bars and brake levers too. Flip flop rear wheel and assorted chainrings/freewheel/cogs to adjust the gearing.
The size is within your limits (156cm top tube).

Looking for £175.
