So no adaptors available for 3 bolt cleats then?

Shame as they would look great on the road.

Many moons ago i had a red, black and yellow jersey that was nicked when i was an undergrad......so if anyone has one they don't want anymore and will sell if for reasonable money...then i am interested.

I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:

O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide,
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.

Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap;
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.

Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;

While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!

Rudyard Kipling

Nope. Can't remember where I have his address somewhere, north I think. He asked me to vandalise a perfectly good saddle.

Ah the 'only obeying orders' defence....now where have i heard that one before?.....And you accepted the job.....so for money you will 'vandalise a perfectly good saddle'....Mercenary!...LOL

This Rolls saddleis a bit tatty but rideable....and the padding on it is sound....£13 posted.

Hang on the bits are for Gregory's girl...good name for a film!

Yes...I know Jamie and Freshtripe....sell good fixie stuff and no quibble returns.....look them up at www.freshtripe.co.uk......And lrt them know you want to collect and i am sure there will be no problems......i recommend Freshtripe....Jamie is a good lad and want to be involved in the Cambridge fixed 'scene......if you ask him nicely he may be interested in polo sponsorship.....maybe?'

Will you post?

Yes but they will be false teeth and they need constant polyfixing!

This is all that's left of my Coppi...i have removed the nasty writing...if you bought it from Sonic Cycles it would cost you £26.25p......

The chainring is hardly used and has been fully cleaned and will come to you sans grease and oil!

All i want is £16 posted

I wish I could find out for certain - I've lost contact with the racer I bought it from him, and have no idea who the maker was.

if I got the frame weighed, would that give any indication? or maybe I could get a veteran frame-builder to have a look over and take a guess.

I took a bike to Roberts and Chas no less looked at the frame...now this frame is not top notch...but he said there is no way of telling what tube is present....he said the key things to look for if it is 531 db or SL or competition etc....the shape of the chainstays..good 531 if oval...and the quality of the work around the seat cluster...but if Chas Roberts says it can't be done with any great degree of confidence ...who am i to argue!...You can look on the internet at weight weenies or velobase or classic lightweights...or email Hilary Stone...hope that helps.

If the original 531 decal had red and green and black writing then it is 531SL and it is rarer than either hen's teeth or rocking horse manure and is worth a bit more than £60....my 2 cents!

Carbon at £30 posted?....No, rubber and yes, recessed cleats

Price reduction on the shoes...£27.50p

Price reduction on shoes...£30 posted

Case for the prosecution......rests!

Get your commie arse into a bike shop for a fitting, if you're london based I recommend Condor.

My for a fascist you are very eloquent!.....I am in Cambridge.....so your recommendation does not apply.....but thanks for the thought.....In any case it would be my commie feet....not arse.....or is that how you try shoes on?
