Thanks, but looking for cross-top type:

Anyway sorry to hear about your deposit spaghettihoops. Maybe a trip to citizens advice may be in order.

+1 for Citizens Advice, I got both my solicitors letter and an hours worth of legal advice for free through them.

Well they're not in the same league as Paul, but Tektro stuff is nice enough, ok quality for the price. Lots of Condor's 'own brand' stuff etc. is just rebadged Tektro.

Konjin all that way from Brixton to Kennington. Nice riding with you! At least I managed a courageous "hi", even though I struggled to keep up.

Ah, I didn't see until Kennington Road :) Had stabby leg cramp this morning so was spinning along hoping that would help, so sorry I was a bit preoccupied.

Also spotted Emilia doing curryenger type things this morning on Drury Lane, hi.

"From 6 April 2007, all deposits (for rent up to £25,000 per annum) taken by landlords and letting agents for Assured Shorthold Tenancies in England and Wales, must be protected by a tenancy deposit protection scheme." [link]

"The Assured Shorthold Tenancy is one of the most common in the private rented sector. If your tenancy began, or was agreed, on or after 28 February 1997, it is likely to be an Assured Shorthold Tenancy. Tenancies starting, or agreed, before that date but after 15 January 1989, are more likely to be Assured Tenancies.

However, it important to know that if you are not an Assured or an Assured Shorthold Tenant as your rights may be different.

[]if you live with your landlord as a lodger and share living accommodation, this maybe known as a Non-Excluded Tenancy or Licence
[]if you landlord has divided a property into flats and the tenant occupies a different flat from the landlord, this maybe known as an Excluded Tenancy or Licence
[*]if you rent a property where the combined rent is over £25,000 per year, this is known a as a Bare Contractual Tenancy. [link]

I don't know about recovering deposits from commercial landlords (though I have lost deposits to thieving private landlords before), but my current lease is covered by the Deposit Protection Scheme - when the landlord registers you with the DPS you get emailed a code as the reference to your deposit in the scheme, and have to confirm receipt of it. A couple of my current housemates have recovered disputed deposits through the DPS, they generally tend to find in favour of the tenant I think. So long story short, I think if you were registered with the DPS you would definitely know about it, which doesn't seem to be the case unfortunately.

If you think there's a chance of getting the money back you can go the small claims court. It costs either £60 or £90 to register the paperwork I think (can't remember). I had to get a solicitor to draft a letter to the landlord first though when I did this, giving them the chance to pay up for legal action is undertaken.

These were on BBC London today:

I think On One built up a test unit on a pompino or something last year, it was "agricultural" to ride iirc...

Looks good. If you do go for the cassette option just keep an eye on chain tension because using ramped cogs could be tricky.

All this stuff is for a budget beater that I'd rather not pay full rrp on, so let me know if you can help out with anything cheap/secondhand. Can collect from Holborn/Bloomsbury or South London, cheers!

Does someone make a campag splined conversion kit now, I thought all kits and cogs were shimano splined still?

Ooh, it that just the stripped metal, or powdercoated? (I need a RAL for a nice gunmetal/graphite grey colour)

Because Merckx used to a track version of the Corsa Extra. :-)

Oh, well that's confusing but fine then :D

Why does it say Corsa Extra on the top tube if its a Pista?

OLD

Spacing

nny and tootoughtodie at Brixton Tesco, then illy (I think) at Herne Hill junction, 'ola.

What's the OLD/spacing on these brand x wheels?

I'll take the wheels, tubes and tyres (for the right price), if you split?

screw-on freewheel = old fashioned, 5, 6, 7 speed only I think

Normal service will be resumed shortly...
