On the CM website it says it starts at 6pm... is this correct? cos Skully said 7pm
-
yea that's me. that was pre-wheels. I'll drop in with the new bike sometime next week maybe, I'd like to check out your burls!
-
Oh cool! I'll say hi next time i'm in there. I was in yesterday evening with a mates langster fixing the brake cable and had a set of wheels strapped to my back.
-
Ha, yeah your post looks good doesn't it? Cheers for letting me interrupt your dinner earlier. The one on order is polished, but the black is growing on me.
I reckon the polished one might better suit the cranks and stem... But that does go against the ethos of a beater.
Gran Compes/Deep Vs would be a sweet wheelset but it sounds like the bike is becoming more and more nickable. Hope you don't lock it up in too dodgy an area when it's 'pimped'!
-
I'm with the Crane. I reckon I must've dropped into the Cut about 20 times over the past 3 years or so and only met one numpty (who I now avoid). Maybe that's where they put all the good Evans employees. Having said that, there is a decent guy who works at London Bridge who has gone a fair way to help me out a few times.
-
P.S. That's not to say that there aren't any good shops in London. There are!
-
I wasn't disagreeing with you James1822, as my LBS is excellent and always gives good advice.
However, especially here in London it seems, you go into a shop and they steer you toeards a product which isn't right, you question it, and they get all flustered.
Anyways... This is is deviating considerably from the topic of this thread.
(This is where I would insert a picture of a lovely bike, sadly, I have none).

nice seatpost hoonz ;-)
sweet looking for a 'beater'!
-
Interesting stuff... How do you know all this?! I'm guessing you're from the industry?
I think I will get it resprayed some time.
Can't wait to see how it rides!
-
I built this for my dad a few months back. It's now rocking Phil Wood/Mavic CXP33 wheels and done about 1000miles.
I rode it for my first long ride a few weeks ago (45 miles) and it was sweeeet!
Really smooth and forgiving, yet stiff when you put the power down. It really benefits from a stiff component build as the frame is more than forgiving enough.
I actually went through Burls on this, not hubjub, but essentially the same thing!
-
part now found. thank you.
-
Wow Fruit that's looking tight! What is is it...?
-
James1822 - unless you know your LBS quite well, I wouldn't ever rely on their advice fully. Always go for a back-up source. So many stories of people getting the wrong sizes, expensive but unreliable components etc...
-
Hi guys,
Looking for a 27.0mm seatpost as the last part to my build!
Needs to be longer than 250mm, preferably silver - any condition.
If you happen to have a nice one lying around, I'd also be willing to pay for that....
let me know.
-
beatbeatbeta - yep, it's going to have some drops and also another stem/bar combo with... risers. So I can ride it on the road and on the track comfortably.
-
about 32cm long. im on zeroseveneight9627sevenfour8zero
-
How about a Condor one, Alloy, black 27.2 good condition
£12? kennington.
-
How do you know it is a respray?
It has a sticker on it denoting that it is made from colombus tubing that was apparently relatively unheard of for Gazelle's at the time.
cheers for the info.
-
Cheers Re-cycled, I have some serious excitement building for when I can ride it!
-
I've never had the time to find out... Rotating however... Typing fail.
-
lo pro 40mins left. High starting bid. 0 bids.
-
apologies for not roating the 2nd pic - doh!

someone was selling some easton monkeylite carbon bars on here for £30... Go back a few days and you'll find the thread. Did you want standard or oversized diameter?
