i unblocked mine (which I got from vodafone). Shoot me a pm if you want to know more (I'd post the details on here, but it always seems like an advertisement when I read posts like that).

Definitely suggest a folding bag rather than a hard case..

Not trying to commandeer the thread - but would you say the same air travel? I need to take my back on a plane soonish and I was pretty worried about the baggage handlers getting all handly with my goods. Though maybe a hard case or an extremely padded one might be best. Any others survived with a soft case?

Does anyone have any experience with storage at Gare de Nord. I was thinking of a day trip using a padded bag, If there was somewhere to store said bag in Paris it would be pretty sweet

I've stored luggage at GdN and it was pretty straight forward -- just a big room with lockers that take tokens. I don't know how big the lockers getm but I assume that they should be big enough for a bike bag, given that some need to accommodate larger suitcases.

I had a nightmare of a time taking a bike on the eurostar on my last trip. The first time I did it, it was totally fine. I booked ahead, dropped the bike off before my train, and got on the train just fine. The second time I tried to do the same, they told me I didnt need to book, so I just showed up at GdN with my bike. They didnt let me it the train and I missed my train as a result. In the end, they stamped my ticket so I could take the next train, but they made me put my bike in bags, through the xray machine, on a trolley (they wouldnt let it through without being on the trolly), and inside the packed train, where it ended up being tied to the railing blocking the footpath and everyone's luggage. The conductor was cool about it as it was a crowded train, but hell, I would have much rather paid the 20 euros on that one. Next time...

ace! thanks man.

also the double seat clamp is missing but you can easily obtain one

Hey JD, any idea where I can easily obtain one of these? Im hunting!

thanks for that, but as this one is for my gf (who manages to pretty much break everything I fix for her) I want to try and go as safe as possible and just get a twin rail clamp.

There must be someone out there with one? Or maybe they are still sold new somewhere? Im not picky on brand name or condition (as long as it is still usable).

im in hackney/bow and have a stronglight puller for future ref (it seems most are sorted here now).
Anyone got an extra stronglight dustcap? One of mine fell off somewhere in the city :/

Hi all,

I really need to find a twin rail seat clamp for my old Hercules. Someone nicked my saddle and left me without and I realized that all my spares are single rail. Im specifically looking for the old style clamps as opposed to a full on seat post.

Anyone out there have anything?

can you post the size pls?

still hunting, anyone?

Hilary, the saddle you sold me was stolen yesterday (but actually, one of the coils snapped a little while before that....what's happening to Brooks quality?)

So...alas....Im on the hunt yet again for another sprung saddle. Preferably and older, sturdier model - B66 or B67 (it's for a lady, but doesnt have to be the lady version).

bump bump bump. Still on the hunt!

Anyone have one in reasonably good condition? My flatmate needs a xmas present! :)

whew, so glad that mercian wasnt remotely close to my size. That was a steeeal.

all this time and it took a site redesign for me to realize that East End beers existed,and not only that, but it's at the end of my street! Will have to come down some time :)

. nm im retarded.

@Loic - Im def still after some, but im afraid i might have been a little late on the message! (thanks for the offer though). I currently have 2 sets of french cranks without pedals and 2 sets that could use some new pedals, all french threaded.

El D. - you have any Lyotard (Berthoud or rat trap style, looking for both) pedals by chance? the pedals thread isnt usually marked on the pedal itseld sadly, usually was just on the box. If you have a standard 9/16 crank arm, the french threaded pedals will fit in, but would feel loose. Also if you see 14 x 125 on the pedals anywhere, that's a dead giveaway.

veLLo, french threaded pedals are all over french ebay. It's usually not worth buying them because of the high shipping costs, but if you have an address to ship to in France, you should be golden.

...if you want to do some smuggling on the way back, let me know! I need a couple pairs of french threaded pedals as well.

Unfortunately the ones that I bought had the wrong internal bar diameter for inverse brake levers...

Thanks

Sometimes it can be solved with a little bit of sanding on the inside of the bar. My CLB inverse levers are about .5mm bigger than my bars can take, I reckon with a little sanding or a dremel they should fit nicely.

Velo Orange produces road bar sized moustache bars for your levers if all else fails:

Freshtripe stocks them in the UK (I think).

damn, I was actually hyped to be able to pay £20 on the eurostar to take a bike back from my trip to Paris. I guess it's easier if you are only doing it one way...

beauuuuutiful. Shame it's too big for me :/

excited to see these pics :)

be quick or get SLAMMMMED!


Hey Kate, sorry, I bought it. There is another Brooks (Flyer / Honey / New) for sale here for £40.

En France, mais very nice....

Super clean, kinda looks Alan-ish, eh? Looks like vertical dropouts.

Misspelled Philippe adjustable track stem. While the gittins good!
