But the rules can be abused. Back in the day you were within the rules if you had a haematocrit measure under 50%.

This is only because at that stage they had no other way of establishing EPO abuse.

Finally found one on eBay, so I'm retiring this thread.

Thanks dwl, I think I'd prefer something a bit more recent / less well loved as it is intended to be a present for my dad. Good luck with your sale!

A log store or similar may work, I'll take a look and see if there is anything the right size

Thanks, I hadn't considered that.

I just picked up a Pashley Princess on eBay for my partner's birthday and it is slightly larger than I expected! Does anyone on here have any suggestions for a good bike cover that fits as the bike will be stored outside in the back garden at night. Something that looks OK and is made from a reasonably nice material would be nice too.

I'm looking for one of these for my dad (again). I almost picked one up for him on the forums a couple of years ago but he made a fuss about the frame colour. Anyway, he keeps talking about wanting one but doesn't do anything about it, so his time I've decided to actually buy one for him as a retirement gift.

Gears: 1/2/3 speed. Not looking for the 6 speed option - he won't be touring on it
Bars: m/h/s - i.e. anything but those exercise bike bars (P?)
Colour: Probably not pink, he is from up north
Condition: Ideally excellent/very good as it is a present. I don't really want an old beater.

Tell me what you have, I'm based in Greenwich (S. London) and my workplace is in Peckham/Old Kent Rd borders.

New model with updated chainset/levers/brakes etc. Condition is good - a couple of scratches associated with daily use. I will take some pictures closer to the time. I need it until the end of the month so will clean it and take pictures then.

Sounds fine to me. Just get in touch when you are ready to sell and we can take it from there.

How do I make a thread

I want the bike

Jay12, I see you just joined the forums yesterday so here's a bit of advice: rather than trying to jump in on my wanted ad and gazump me by a tenner, why don't you just start your own wanted thread?

JB, £550 with the bag could be doable - my dad was specific about not wanting to spend more than £500 but it looks like I could ebay the bag for £50.

What's the condition like? Is it the upgraded 2013 version (new chainset/braklevers etc.)?

Yes still available. I've had the usual pms but no one has confirmed/picked it up or paid for it thus far.

Salmonchild - It seems my father had assumed he can get one for £500 or less. I looked around and it does seem possible, but probably not a recent model. Also, are we now saying yours is a M3L?

JB - what sort of price were you looking for the orange one?

I don't think my dad wants to push past £500. I'll check and update accordingly.

I had this listed a while back but the buyer didn't get around to picking it up so I'm re-listing.

Campagnolo Proton 700c front
Very light
22 radial spokes clincher
Quick release

Bought new and never used, I forgot about it - has actually been lying around at the back of my garage for a couple of years. Come with the quick release skewer, paperwork etc.

The photo shows the wheel with a tyre fitted - this has now been removed.

My dad is looking for one of these. He wasn't too specific - he just said 'find me a decent second hand Brompton'.

From this I read: any entry level steel frame 3 speeder would seem ideal - I can't imagine he will want something too upmarket or custom. He openly mocks my single speed bikes so I can't imagine he'd want the SS version. Condition can be variable - he is a competent spanner wielder and won't mind a few scratches or chips on the frame.

Tell me what you have...

EDIT: Max price £500 - so any very recent models are probably out

Miche wheel set sold. Campy Proton front still available.

I'm out of town for a few days as of this evening so to anyone bidding on the Condor/Miche wheel set, collection would be next week.

RE: Proton wheel. The first confirmed offer via pm for the Proton was yesterday from Dr Fast. I've reserved it for him for now. If it falls through, dibs would be to Devlo, then Stolichnaya, then Matt. Apologies for the slow updates!

Condor / Miche wheel set is still available.

Yes all is still available

I'll try to paste it here:

Currently has a new Vittorio Rubino 700x25 fitted - if anyone wants that as well I'm happy to throw it in for a tenner extra.

I have some wheels to shift. They've been sitting around taking up space and need to move on to pastures new...

Happy to offer £175 for the Rapidfire and spare rods. I assume it comes with the original tripod plate?

South Downs Bikes are doing the Exposure Spark for £49.99. It takes obscure camera batteries, but as I have loads in a cupboard at work it suits me fine. The mount is crap. It looks nice and is tiny and lightweight.
