are we talking wired or folders here?

the pedals look good to me- I'll have them- mailed you

I've done the other way on- so to speak! I got on the tow path at Aldbury and ended up at Ricky Aquadrone- nice liddle caf in there now.

Riding into London could be interesting, but its maintaining the interest factor getting back home again without doing the return leg on the same route inwards ie a circular route.

I know there's canal's round Old Street, and where there's a canal there's a tow path.

BTW my short route is from Park Lane down to Coy Carp and off road through the lakes to the Old Uxbridge Road and keep on there until hop onto the main road, then off to the left at Denham Green into the Phygtles into Denham then trundle round to the Swan & Bottle in Ux and hop on the tow path there, back up the tow path 'til after the caf, then through to the Marina and then onto the road doing a left and then first right and back on the tow path to Park Lane, or cut off at Black Jack's and come up the f-ing great hill to the restaurant. Takes an hour at most.

Of course if the caf is open its got lots of cakes and things............

BTW again- the junk yard at Black Jack's is being cleared and there's a pile of old bikes of various vintages down there, as well as an old JCB/Commer lorry/etc/etc/etc, it was fascinating junk- included a canal weeding amphibious craft- gone now. I think the guy who was there has moved on

All in all, a very unusual area.......

yes to living just off Belfry Ave....will now be spending lots of time cleaning my bikes....

now I know of a couple of others in the first road off Park Lane going up the f-ing hill too.....

buy one, get one free

or was it stop me and buy one,

or other way round- buy me and stop one.

Confused of somewhere..

I have a freebie Deore 27.0 mostly black seat pin, free posting too.
Not perfect but then not a price attached either.

hmm I have those Uni disc covers for £notalot, I lost the clips but reckon on duck tape doing the job

throw it away, or send it off to Bergin's to get repaired at £8 a throw

I live in Harefield which is a good spitting distance from Uxbridge (with the wind behind me I have to say..)

Harefield for those who don't know is the place the world passed by- I mean where would you go to get a haircut and the guy in the chair IS Farmer Giles on about his tractors!

I'm not sure if you know but roadies turn up at Shane's Nursery on Sat/Sun @ 9.30 and trundle out on club runs- Sat is to Boutler's Lock via a circuitous route, optional Winter Hill @ Cookham and do-able on fixed although Harvest Hill is steep and there's a dead stop at the bottom.

Other rides at 10.00am on Tuesdays and Thursdays but more for geared bikes, or expert fixed riders- same for Sundays too.

Yes I do still ride fixed - learned Time Trialling many years ago on that, still ride the Track- Welwyn/Manchester/Newport/Calshot, occasionally HH. Ride road & TT bikes and MTB's.

Don't ask how many bikes I have- ever!!! Death is swift...

I'd vote Palin as sooner or later she'll get her "bush" out

I have an ITM version I'll dig out in daylight & let you know @ £notalot

Suggest try the British Cycling classifieds- looking/buying is free. Sometimes bargains are to be had in Loot too.

Best of luck

One 27.0 predominantly black, but some dull silver showing through, Deore seat pin 9" in length, some small vice jaw marks on saddle cradle (- not of my doing, I inherited it!). free, can post free. It may help somebody.

Black Aero wheel covers with white decal in pliable plastic- were manufactured to make a fake disk, in my case out of a rear sprint about 10 years ago, could be made to fit and stick a 700c with eg duck tape. (I lost the clips for them ages ago- they were made of plastic, and hooked around the spoke nipples ad the disk covers).

Could e-mail photos if required, although covers are located elsewhere so would take a day or two to deal.

They can really only be delivered as they are- I'm near Uxbridge but can travel reasonable distance.

Offers/swaps- and don't ask what I think they're worth as I haven't a clue!!!!!!!!

I'm currently after an MTB bog ordinary front wheel, or cheap V brakes for a wreck of an MTB (which I really should have put in the bin, but I do believe in the resurection.... of bikes)

PM is best for me

Are they folders or wired ones please?

I have some scrappy bit rusted chromed Colnago forks with 6 3/4" steerer, if I got postage or £2 I'd be over the moon, less and I'd still be happy...can pm pics
