What fab pictures ... those lamps!

This is batch three of the year ...

Thanks, not sure they are quite what I'm looking for.

Simplest and cheapest would be to find someone to sell you some directly. Failing that if you are in the UK Bittylicious was very straightforward when I last used them (years ago now mind) or if you have a Revolut account you can buy bitcoin through the app, though the fees are high for small amounts.

Looking for a decent set of light, mid-range ish gravel wheels. Carbon would be lovely but a good alloy set also considered.

Basically want a solid upgrade on my current Fulcrum set - RR 900.

Must be 700C, thru axle; disc brake; Shimano freehub and a very strong preference for a quiet freehub ...

Max budget of £400.

Drive short sessions - 20 minutes or so; check the tyre pressures regularly and drop them as they heat up; don't put the hand brake on when you park up in the pits.

Oh for sure, and lots of people must like it as so many makers do it, but I am distinctly not a fan of that design choice.

"All" black except for the bl**dy white day and date dials. Why oh why do they do this, it looks so glaring and awful?

No worries, thanks for checking.

Thank you, likely too big for me then.

How do the Giro shoes size up? I'm normally a UK10

Neither of them is really a looker are they?

Very cool.

I thought the projections were that world population was actually going to peak this century and so fears of continued expone tial growth are unfounded.

Sold.

Outstanding ride by Anna Morris in the individual pursuit. Edge of your seat stuff.

Ha no! Samsung S22, borders added with IrfanView.

Set of very nice rim brake wheels: Hope RS Mono hubs (red); DT Swiss RR-511 rims; 11S Shimano freehub.

They roll very nicely, 32 spoke front and rear, so probably on the heavier side and suited to a larger rider. Cannot weigh them at the moment as the kitchen scales are engaged in cake making.

Little wear to the brake track and were running nicely when last used but now surplus to requirements.

Some scratches to the front rim/track (see pics) due to cackhandedness.

Includes matching red Hope QR skewers.

Not sure what to ask, how does £150 collected sound? I'm in SW13 but happy to meet within a reasonable distance.

Agree, that Helix does look very cool.

Seems a shame they didn't make and fold the fork the other way (ie right leg instead of left) so it could cover the rear cassette, etc.. Maybe the derailleur is just too bulky for it to fold that way.

Surely that falls foul of the locking prohibition? So not illegal just not OK for every day carry without a good reason. I feel one might struggle to justify the reason for carrying that.

One has to say that those reasons do not really sound a lot like current specific individual experience ... rather it sounds like it might be the marketing literature ... perhaps I'm just cynical.

Taken

Anyone got any use for the old-style integrated Brompton crankset?

I upgraded mine to the new spider crankset.

I realise the probability is low, given that you can't get the BB any more but if anyone would like it it's yours.

Located in SW13.

They are also, despite some overactive speculation, less common than fires in ICE vehicles.
