Thanks @chez_jay. I am selling my Parallax size 52. I am willing to sell only frame or almost-complete bike.

100 for omnium

LOL that's the reflection of the light of the lamp :) it would be crazy if it was a scratch!

I am willing to split as well.

@andresito @Cwilt If still interested, I am selling my omnium as well: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/329660/ very good condition

I can take it off from my build: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/329660/
It's in very good condition. It's black though

There are absolutely no scratches at the head tube

I am selling a Parallax 52 https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/329660/

I am selling my Parallax Optical since I have finally built my Parallax Charcoal :) I can't really live without at least one Parallax :-D

For sizing, see second column in the chart here: https://lfgss.microcosm.app/api/v1/files/883fc8e8eef634c377c8dbe5de7be8ef2d02788e.jpg

I have been using the frame for one year, but only for few very chilled rides, no racing. Whatever you see in the pictures, no scratches really. Fork has been drilled for a front caliper brake.

Ideally I want to sell it as a complete wheelset-less bike. Components are:

• Sram Omnium 165mm, 48t chainring;
  
• Sram Omnium bottom bracket;
  
• Thomson Elite X4 Stem Black 110mm-10deg;
  
• Easton EA30 Riser Bar (not in the pictures)
  
• Cinelli Vai seatpost;
  
• San Marco Mantra Urban Performance black (size Narrow) saddle;
  
• Animal Hamilton Plastic Pedals - Black/Gold Cap (not in the pictures).
  
  

Asking for 500£.

mmmm, I don't think so :)
I didn't do any gravel since our BITW 2018, I had forgotten how much fun it is.

I made a little thing with two stickers.
Also, I am falling for gravel single speed.

I have some Challenge Strada Bianca 30c. Used, but not too much. After 400 miles or so, I switched to GravelKing to have more grip.

I guess that's how it looks like on a GPS track when you hit a deep puddle and your bike catapults your body 5 meter forward :D

I missed Badger Surprise, so I went to the Forest today instead. One sure thing is that I will be back very soon, too much fun!

Today I passed Level 1 :-) Slenderman tracked by Epping Forest legend @BareNecessities

@BareNecessities That weekend doesn't work for me anymore :(((

From their IG page, it looks like it's all about MTB and gravel, but I will pay them a visit anyway.

Thanks, @Bluscuba. Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post :( I am well aware of all the shops you mentioned, but except for Condor cycles, they are more oriented to urban or crit fixed-gear bikes, as oppose to track bikes. What I was after is some shop that stocks good track components, say like velodromeshop.net.

As far as I understand all slots at Lee Valley are already taken for the year, so even if I had the money, I couldn't get one.

Hi all!
Is there any bike shop in London, possibly close to HHV or LVV, that specializes in track cycling components/equipment? I am asking not for an online shop, but for an actual physical shop.

Cheers!

@ekudduke Thanks, mate! Your 140mm stem, that is :)

@ekudduke Thanks! I have a similar bag by lifeisaride, I think I am going to do the same. I am curious, do you take the crank off every time? or just the handlebar?

@Skülly @853Superfly I checked tyre requirements at LVV and it looks like this shouldn't be a problem.

Tyres that have been used outdoors must be cleaned with a damp cloth and dried before riding
the track

Award for the creativity!

After passing Stage 2 accreditation and a couple of drop-in sessions, I am getting more and more addicted to the velodrome at the point that I want to build my own bike. I already have a track frame and some Alpina bars, I just need to buy the rest ;)

The velodrome of reference for me is LVV and from what I understand, the slots for overnight bike storage are all reserved for the rest of the year and anyway very expensive.

My question is: how do you guys carry your track bike to the velodrome? I don't own a car and I don't plan to own one. And I live about 30 mins bike ride from the velodrome. So the solutions I can think of are:
1) Riding the bike there, but I don't feel very comfortable to ride in the traffic without front brake and taking it out and putting it back each time sounds painful.
2) Carrying the bike on a public transport (is that even allowed?)
3) Like 2) but in a bike bag...again, sounds painful if it's as often as once a week.

How do you guys do? Any tips?

Welcome to my life, where I continuously obsess myself with frame measurements. I am not a bike fitter, I am just a fixed-gear rider obsessed with bike sizes.
Few points:

• There is no 56 Gazzetta frame, it's either 55 or 57 (that's TT measured c-c).
  
• Measurement obviously depends on the geometry, the Gazzetta one is a pretty relaxed geometry (not aggressive as a track frame, say the Parallax).
  
• I am 5'8" and S/53 fits well (a bit big, actually), so M/55 should be good for you.
  
• Inseam measure counts more than height in my opinion, what's your inseam?
  
• It depends on how you want it to look (very important :D)
