PM'd re touring pedals

PM'd re jacket

24” indeed. Thanks - I’ll check them out!
Anyone have any thoughts on groupset - currently 8spd gripshift which has seen better days.
Considering replacing either with 8spd Claris and trigger shifters or make the jump to Deore 10spd.

Anyone know if a 10spd cassette would fit on the current free hub?

Edit: yes it will. Was the work of a moment to whip the other half’s 10spd 105 cassette onto the cargo bike.

Thanks man! Gonna be picking peoples cargo-brains on here over the next few weeks and months as I get it dialled in.
First up is faster tyres and a longer seatpost, then I might look at some new bars, and maybe getting an aluminium cargo box made up for it... the plywood is a bit naff to my mind...

Not sure really - looks similar but this was just a gumtree job from a bloke in battersea.

Today I too joined the cargo bike club! Needs a bit of fettling (bearings/pedals/seatpost/brakes) and some less draggy tyres, but it was pretty cheap (in cargo bike terms) and I feel it’s gonna be a game-changer...

These look great - have PM'd!

No worries, thanks all the same!

Hola, I take it the frame has been collected by now? If not, I would be interested in the rolling frameset

Hey pal, still got these?

Never done anything like this before but tried my hand at making a bar bag a couple weeks back: turned out pretty well if I may say so myself!
Thoughts? Happy to fill people in on the construction if they’d like to give it a go.

geometry measurements (measures up more like a 56cm):

For Sale: Dolan road bike. 58cm(ish). £400 NOW SOLD

Unfortunately impending house move means a lack of space (and lack of use anyway) is forcing the sale of my Dolan – the one that started it all. This was built up for me 15 years ago from a Dolan frame and fork – according to Dolan themselves they didn’t have model names in this era… Ally tubing, carbon fork, carbon seatstays. As you can see it’s in great nick, with the expected age-related scuffs, especially on chainstays – apparently I love a bit of left-foot heel rub…
I haven’t ridden it outside since autumn last year; it’s been sat on the turbo since then, but I have a TA adapter for my other bike now so this has become somewhat redundant…
It’s been very well looked after over its long and illustrious life. Hopefully it can do someone else proud on here rather than become an ebay punter’s beater…

Spec:

• 58cm ish… I don’t exactly know what size the frame is but it’s quite large (I’ll update with geometry measurements). I’m 6ft3 and it’s a good size – feels like a classic bike: long and low.
  
• Shimano Ultegra 6500 9 speed groupset
  -- 53/39 chainset (dinner-plate-sized). 11-30 9spd cassette.
  -- Ultegra shifters and calipers. Still life in the pads. Some damage to the shifters – not been dropped, just 15 years of being rested against walls etc.
  
• Mavic Aksium Race wheelset - new a few years ago. Bearings and braking surfaces good.
  -- Continental GP4000s II 25c tyres. Plenty of life left, no slits/cuts to them
  
• Deda bars – non-compact (quite low drops)
  
• ITM 110mm stem
  
• ITM carbon seatpost
  
• Can’t remember the brand of saddle – it’s worn but usable. 15 years of my bony arse would wear anything down…
  
• New BB (shimano octalink), RD jockeys and chain in October last year. It’s done a couple of hundred indoor km on the turbo since.
  
• You won’t get the pedals or computer mount.
  
  

It has quite a lot of sentimental value, so please don’t make me silly offers....

Hi, I ran them with 28’s. They’re quite wide, I think if you had enough frame clearance they’d probably fit 30’s or even 32’s..... but don’t take that as gospel!

Set of Kinesis Fend-off ‘guards. Black aluminium. Were savaged to fit a bike which I no longer own - see pics.
I also only have the front mounting arms.
If you think you can use them, have them for free.
Pick up Brixton.

Now provisionally sold subject to collection

---

Now collected so no longer provisional!

Aye, it’s just the impatience of youth! Was hoping for some today to be able to get the bike on the road tomorrow. I can get some off amazon for a few quid, arriving tomorrow so may do that!

Hey mate - bit of a long shot - you have any chainring bolts for single ring knocking about i could take off your hands?

This has been hanging around taking up space for too long and I'm getting in the neck from flatmates. Was planning to build it up into a fixie/ss but haven't got around to it and it's way too small for me. Though it is prime for it and is a lovely frame in good condition.

Late 70's/ early 80's, judging by components, O'Brien road frame. No wheels (am keeping the fixed wheelset in the pics).
Quite small: 51cm c-c seat tube
Bit of a mish-mash of components, but look to be all original. I understand manufacturers mixing and matching was all the rage in 70's/80's..:

• Zeus crankset 53/ 38. But - front mech and the downtube lever for it is missing. Bit disappointing.
  
• Campagnolo Rally RD
  
• Cinelli bars
  
• Weinmann Levers
  
• Mafac Canti brakes
  
• Shimano Dura-Ace headset - seems smooth
  
• BB smooth also.
  
• Zeus seatpost (v short)
  
  

Set of wheels, chain and crankset and its a fixie, or put a geared wheelset on and it'll be a nice little bike.

We'll start at £100

Let me know if I'm way off... Pick-up from Brixton.

Cheers

Anyone got any knocking about that i could take off their hands?
TIA

We’re getting there... re-cabled, bit of a clean up, new grips, new tyres, new pads. Just chainset to go.
Has anyone got 5x chainring bolts short enough for single ring, knocking about and willing to donate??

Hey pal - sorted for cassette now, managed to find a new one v cheap.
Ta anyway

That would be stellar mate thank you - pm incoming

If mr infinity doesn’t want them all I’ll take leftovers!
