Could you upload some large/closer pictures please? I'd be interested pending a better look!

Hello, I'd need it posted but happy to take the frameset and headset. Third in the queue please?

These look lovely and a keen price, GLWS

Yep, no reason why not other than matchy-matchy

Thanks for that, rechecked and it's just marked as delivered. HAve to wait a while then get eBay to jump in it seems. The joys of living in an area with multiple combinations of road names: Blah St, Blah Ave, Blah Drive etc.

Yes as far as I know, no picture as proof just recorded as delivered. I thought as much looking at the Royal Mail website, will keep at the seller and get to the bottom of it.

If an ebay item is marked as delivered, but hasn't been and you suspect the postie has left it at the wrong house (like the Rouleur magazine that a neighbour reposted), is there anything you can do other than hope your stuff gets posted on? I raised a "not received" dispute but the seller (fairly) claimed it was delivered. Anyone successfully claimed from Royal Mail? Fortunately for some doorstops totalling £3 not a laptop...

58cm GT ZR 2000 in burgundy with carbon forks for £75 BIN. Will that Octalink BB come out?

Saw Record threaded headsets on there for £45, lowest price I've seen for them

Yeah it's not, edited post to reflect :-/

Yeah after posting I spent a bit of time lingering over it and realised it looks like an artist's impression of a modern bike... Still, if you want a fancy new disc road bike, you can whack a Kalloy Uno on it and improve your lot

Felt road bike with Reynolds wheels and 11sp Ultegra, 54 and 56 in stock for £2,400. No bargain and not a keen price for a complete modern bike

"Send her (Bahrain) victorious, happy and glorious?"

My Ridley was the same, and the bare cable would cheese wire the rubber bung. My solution (after some googling) was to run the cable with liner and clamp it in, then mould a grommet with Sugru

I have one bike with internal routing and only used liner round the BB shell guide, and for the front mech cable to pop through the grommet smoothly, without sawing the grommet itself. May be beneficial to run more if you cross the gear cables under the downtube, but otherwise I wouldn't think so.

Bloody brilliant! And no half measures on the test ride

Yup, looks bloody good and the graphics/tape/saddle all seem to match well! Nice cages too ;-)

This at £150 new, appreciate its deeper and dearer but is brand new

The father and son combos are quite neckwarming

Christ, googled that and wrote off my afternoon

650b prices up and down like Wall Street homes

Seen some crazy price swings for stuff I do not need but am eyeing. 28mm Primavera rim brake wheels were £360, now back to £809

No one stealing your cuppa, guaranteed

I'm maybe outing myself with my comment as that's exactly what I do - good bikes in the shed until the grit is a distant memory. Seeing some of the full guard and disc builds here (particularly @PhilDAS), I'd definitely go down that route if I was starting afresh as it's one bike to do it all. But as it is I have a mish-mash of rim brake skinny-tyre bikes that no-one else would buy so I'll ride them till they break! Apart from the summer ones...

Quintessentially British to spend multiple times more on a summer bike you ride 2 months of the year and plough on the rest of the time on a blue Ribble with Xenon 9 speed and a rack

Thanks hive mind... seems it's genuinely a step on and very good, despite being uglier than 11x IMHO... best get the abacus out to justify.

I had looked at piecing together 11x Record/Super Record second hand, but prices are eye watering, particularly so when you're comparing used against new!
