Many thanks - useful info.

Ah - many thanks I hadn't realised that.

I have Dia Compe aero levers which work with V brakes on my Surly LHT. The levers are on 31.8 diameter drop bars which I would like to change for smaller 26mm diameter clamp Velo Orange bars and stem.

I don't want to have to buy different levers if possible. My question is how adaptable levers are to different diameter bars - sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm still finding my way with bike mechanics!

Dibs San Marco Laser - PM incoming.

Dude I think if you type those words into the search you'd come up with this:

Edit: apologies - fixed, not geared like you're after.

Geared it would be perfect.

I'm looking for a audax/ randonneur/ lightweight tourer ideally with mudguards and racks for commuting and a few lightweight trips. 58/59 cm or so size.

Anything too old/classic will not suit as I don't want to have spares problems - so good condition preferred - ideally with triple chainset or low range double for hills.

Please PM me with details and price.

Some lovely bikes - in my original post I asked if anyone had tackled a project to produce a randonneur bike. No response yet so maybe they are as yet still rare in UK.

Before you get flamed....

UTFS

:0)

I did UTFS - surprisingly not much.

I was reading about the interest in French-style randonneur bikes in the US - many custom builders are building them. I love the proportions and workmanlike appearance of these bikes - I ripped these inspirational pics from the web. Has anyone tackled a similar project? Any pics would be appreciated.

Both reduced.

Shoes have gone.

Jerseys available still.

Shimano 9 speed clincher wheelset with Alexa rims from Specialized Tricross. Includes new-ish cassette 11-32. Plenty of braking surface. £50.

Campagnolo Chorus aero pedals - with clips and nice leather straps with
Campag ends. £50

Shoes on hold pending payment.

I love Harris Tweed and want that saddle!

Not far from Kingston - likely to be in Waterloo/ Strand area tomorrow evening (Thursday).

Turning out my wardrobe to get rid of wrong size or duplicates - no dibs, PM me please -

Vintage (must be around 1976 to 1982) Peugeot Michelin jersey - small, about 36" chest (about 18" armpit to armpit) - excellent condition woven acrylic or wool/acrylic mix. As worn by Gaul, Merckx, Simpson, Millar, Roche etc etc. £40 posted.

Rapha long-sleeve jersey, large (about 40"), red. A bit large for me so lightly worn. £68 posted.

Exustar shoes - can't remember model name, nice retro look. Worn less than 5 or 6 times as too small for me. Size 44 (9 1/2). SOLD.

PM sent re Altura shorts.

Sales post edited to show what is left.

Why are they call Ti?

Nothing to do with titanium! The company which sponsored the Raleigh team was TI (Tube Investments - as in metal tubing I think) which owned Raleigh and many other businesses as well. I believe they also owned Reynolds - as in 531 etc.

I'm with you now - no I still have that and enjoy riding it regularly - that won't be sold; a lovely bike.

This one here is a frame I bought for a SS project that never happened.

Had a few rides, but it's number 2 Ti Raleigh and I need room for a beautiful Italian!

That would be great, thanks. I'm not at work on Friday, so if Waterloo is going to be tricky before then, maybe I could fit in a loop round to SW London - how far out are you?

Would you PM me?

I'd love that Bianchi saddle - any chance of collecting at Waterloo/South Bank some time in the next day or two?

I could get to Waterloo possibly later this week.

Nice frame, the spacing and whether the headset is included may be useful.

Spacing - front 100, rear 130 - as I say, BB and headset are included.

I'm never sure about used lightweight carbon bars, hence the price! No signs of problems though. At buyer's risk.
