I've no experience with Condor rims but the pessimist in me would wonder if they had another agenda to recommend their own brand...

[/QUOTE]Afternoon all,

Selling a 1985 Eddy Merckx Professional Road Frame (Columbus SLX tubing) in Metallic Blue.

Few more pics can be found here

EDDY MERCKX PROFESSIONAL ROAD FRAME
Columbus SLX Tubing
ST / 54cm (CTC) / 55cm (CTT)
TT / 54cm (CTC)
BB threading / Italian
Seatpost size / 27.2mm
Rear Spacing / 126mm
Includes Smooth Ultegra Threaded Headset, and Shimano UN54 BB

Serial on BB is A4-4062-Z, which can roughly be deciphered to the above at : http://www.cadre.org/Merckx/

A genuine Merckx frame, not Falcon licensed tat. Panto'd seatstays and fork crowns and Campag dropouts. With original forks and decals, some chips here and there with its age, but no dents or dings. Straight and true.

All in, a beautiful top steel road frame, that was a joy to ride until I had to finally accept I was too big for it.

**Price / SOLD **

Can take more photos if requested, any other questions - drop me a PM. Collection from Clapton.

Dibs and PM please

Shady looking guy spotted cycling through Broadway Market this morning with 2 decent looking mountain bike wheels (disc rotors etc). Balanced either end of his handlebar. Was heading north towards London Fields

Caught a guy in the act of nicking a saddle on Broadway market a few days ago. He was yanking a brooks out of a girls frame. Stopped as I was cycling past and started asking what he was doing. He was "locking his bike up" apparently, then started to try and lock his bike to the girls saddle through the saddle rails...

Called him on it and told him to do one.

Any saddle around those parts not properly secured, it's only a matter of time i'm afraid.

After one of these please.

They've been discontinued so proving a little trickier to get hold of.

If you've anything, please PM me.

Thanks! :)

I've got a single new unused 36h rim going if it's any use...

http://www.lfgss.com/thread103079.html - PM if interested.

Got a set of these going if they're useful to anyone. Were swapped out from an off the peg bike after a 100miles or so, so barely used.

Seems a waste to chuck them, so if they're of use to anyone - you're welcome to them.

Collection from Lower Clapton weekday evenings.

-- GONE --

I popped down to this the other day..

Big haul, but mainly completely beaten up pony MTBs and a lot of kid's bikes.

Only things of note were a Bianchi frameset (looked alu nirone in green and pretty big) and a Silver Condor few years old. If that's any use.

There was this bonkers bike called "springer" which was orange and they'd built springs into the seat stays and forks for "suspension"

Schwalbe Durano Plus can take a lot of abuse / miles.

Think they've rebranded them as London tyres, but for puncture protection, they're the best I've used after years on gatorskins.

Looks like the Met Police have just nicked a cpl of fellas found with a haul of 250 bikes on Chatsworth Road, Clapton.

Seems they're arranging a viewing day for the lot, def worth following up on if anyone's still chasing the return of their ride....

Just had some w@£4er try to steal my hub (white industries eno) from my rear wheel outside the Scolt's Head by de beauvoir square, Haggerston. The wheel was d-locked (evolution) to the frame, which was d-locked to the bike stand. Whoever, cut the spokes, fortunately cut it with something that does not appear to have been too sharp as there are a few spokes that are still 'connected' with indentations. Thankfully, I have the bike, the wheel and the hub...also, thank you to the French samaritan who gave me a beer as I walked home with bike over the shoulder and wheel strapped to my bag!

Jesus. WAC. There's absolutely nothing you can do about that either...we don't all want arrospoks.
Scolt head / haggerston pub / duke of Wellington. Anything in that triangle is under real threat. Even read on this thread about a guy who was caught sitting at a bike with his toolbox stripping the whole thing. :(

Drop to £25. PM if interested

Cheers then!

Brand new, unused - just kept in cupboard for a year or so.

£30

Collection from Liverpool St, office hours.

Dibs & PM me, cheers all.
