Hi, if you want to get a brand new one I can help you with the education discount that gives you 12% off the iMacs and I think the apple care is about £50 instead of whatever they are at retail price. I charge a coffee or a beer. PM me if you want.

Can we shake hands at £50?

We were doing some practice in Newington yesterday and forgot my ball, went back pretty much right away but it was gone. It's an orange one that has street hockey or something written on it. If anyone sees it magically appears again, please let me know.

Ok, let's just settle with A BIKE, shall we?

I was only joking with the complaint, I do wish I had taken the number as a proof and I would probably have written to the Boris bike people to express my anger, as it wasn't the first time clearly incompetent people ride Boris bikes and put me (and others I assume) in dangerous situations, but it had never been that close.

If you pay for it then yeah. Anyway, we should leave this thread and let sacredhart sells his bike in peace.

Is there a way to file a complaint against a Boris biker?? I was on my way home on Friday, just crossed blackfriars bridge onto the South side, typical rush hours, everyone was going pretty fast etc etc. Saw a Boris bike a few meters in front of me wobbling his way, I though oh well, he was on the left lane, I was in the middle lane as I was going ahead (it's that traffic light where left turning vehicles has priority to stay on the left lane). At the absolutely last second, that Boris bike took a right turn of almost 90 degrees in front of me to cut onto the peds crossing waiting bit. I had to do an emergency brake and luckily the car behind me managed to stop just on time. I said to him "Don't you know how to cycle?", he told me to fuck off. I then told him "You are not supposed to have turned right." He told me to fuck off again. Would have chased after him but traffic was too busy so has to carry on a bit further down the road, obviously it was too late for me to turn back and find that mother fucker almost got me injured. It was a typical example of someone turning right when they are absolutely not allowed to whatsoever. Fair enough there is that bit of cycle lane that allows you to cross as the same time as the peds to the other side of the road, but the little red man on the traffic light was on...

It's worth PMing him again, I just dibs some bars from him and communication has been smooth.

I am about 5'5 and my track bike is 52/52, it rides like a dream, so I guess this would fit pretty well, maybe a wee bit on the small side with the seat tube, but have your saddle higher should do the trick. However, my langster is a 56 and I can still manage, although I do look a little silly on it. Get it, Langsters are great!!

I offered it Cedy and you said NO.

Dibs. PM coming

I will pop by to say hello on my way home and take it from there, should be there for abotu 6:20 ish, will you be there then, Ben?

Can do newington. Me and a plus 1 if anyone wants. But Ben you'd have to play gentle and slow

No worries, Don't need a langster in particular anyway as I have got 1 that is just a little too big for me But overall, I think langsters are good value bikes and this deserve a good home.

And I found the toe clips and straps, will bring on Tues... and as a matter of fact, I do drink beer, Rick!!! Last Tues was an exception :-P

I like the fact we are talking about the exact same thing at the same time on 2 threads... I might go mad by the end of this.

I found long pull promax levers on eBay and bought their last two (from china), I can find their details if you want though? Unbranded version but is obviously from a similar/the same factory? They cost ~£25?

Oops missed your reply mate, if you could post the link it would be awesome.

What?? your bars sound magical, so as the lever. I'd be happy to take it back if they are of no use to you. How could it fit my 25.4 bars then? Maybe it happened in my dream?? I feel responsible now.

What size bars you have? Coz I tried the lever on the bars (25.4mm) on my pomp and they fit. Are you bars 26mm or are they by any chance really old cinelli in which case they might be the annoying 26.2mm. Now I feel bad the lever doesn't fit... :-(

PS. I am gonna change my forum name to my actual name. Makes more sense... (I think it can be done??)

I am not, Cedy might still be, although I am pretty sure he doesn't want a complete bike. Just put my langster back together with wider riser bars, look millions time better. Cedy you better find me a 52 quick before I change my mind.

It's a 2008 model this one. good luck with selling it as a complete bike.

What size? Both myself and Cedy are only looking for F&F.

Did I see the word "gumtree" somewhere in the OP??

Rule 1 : if you are selling your items elsewhere then you can't be selling them here at th same time.
Rule 2 : You are either selling or you are not. You have 2 out of 4 items that are not really available for sale at this present moment.

You should have read the rules.

I know somebody who used to use a cable to go round the frame and padlock the cable to a spoke. Because he said the only way to steal his bike would be to cut the spoke, and people either can't do it easily, or if someone manages to cut the spoke the bike can't be ridden with a spoke less... Erm... I got a good pair of cable cutter that can cut his spoke in a few secs, and I am pretty such a wheel with 1 missing spoke can be ridden far enough for him not to see the bike again. I was so tempted to steal his bike just to prove the point.
