I have an unused pair of Deuter Uni panniers sitting in a cupboard. Like these: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/deuter-rack-pack-uni-panniers/.

I bought them last summer with dreams of touring, but now I've sold my tourer and can't see myself using these panniers in the near future.

£30?

How embarrassing - that I have to admit to having exactly the same reaction to that arch. My excuse is that I can't help seeing a bit of Grand Designs while trying to persuade the smallest Luddlet to switch the telly off and do some music practice... (victorian dad?)

Anyway, Bruce, did you test the strength of the arch by taking the lavender-scented bike up it?

I've just switched my pearson over to a square taper BB and so I have this basic silver chainset for sale. 170mm cranks, pretty sure it's 130mm BCD, and the ring is 48T and has light wear. There's some scuffing on the face of the crank arms and there's a bit of rough abrasion on the end of the left crank (see second pic). Comes with the ISIS standard crank bolts. It's branded FSA on the outer face of the cranks but RPM on the inside.

£15 collected in WC2 or I can deliver within reasonable distance of town or SE London. Could post for a couple of quid extra.

Hi, do you know what sort of chainline the Sunrace chainset gives? If it's 42mm and the BB is in good nick, I'm happy to buy!

A front spok and skate helmet combo turning left from the E&C bypass path onto the London Road this morning. On the off chance you're on here, pause a moment: I can see the temptation to do that turn (I've done it myself) but there's a good reason for it being prohibited, namely that there are peds crossing on the green man when you do it, and it was not surprising that the pedestrian you narrowly missed said something. I bet he learnt his lesson when, from fifty yards down the road, you turned and flipped the bird at him.

In other news, a truly gorgeous not quite baby blue (more kind of slatey neoclassical subdued Adam-style) Moulton being ridden up Waterloo Road by someone who looked like BMMF's younger brother. If I'd been able to keep pace, I'd have pointed out the bleedin' obvious and told you it's a nice bike.

Nice one. Wish I was not at work. Printer doesn't need a new toner cartridge.

Last night on the OKR, bearded green pompino rider. When you snuck through the red light a bit, and the ever so serious cyclist in front of me shouted "prick" at you, your friendly but quizzical smile over your shoulder must surely have melted her heart.

Actually having looked at where the temperance place was, I'll modify my "good work" comment to say "that's a pleasant little ride and I do hope you didn't drop any litter"

17 minutes and one second to get from the old tag to the new one? Good work!

Unhelpful non-clue: I was doored by an E-reg Toyota just along from there at about 9.45pm on 10 February 1995. The driver's insurance coughed up enough to pay off my remaining student debt.

I might have a look at the Kent II route at the weekend - it's in the area where I started getting back into the idea of cycling for fun after about 10 years of no cycling apart from the daily commuting grind. And it's a nice run back into Luddonia via Badgers Mount.

Could we devise a new route to take in Cliffe and the Boo Peninsula?

Tempting...

Oh woe is me. I was all lined up to do my fifth DD this year and now discover that the smallest Luddlet is performing in a concert I'm not allowed to miss.

I'd like the CD drive please - I assume it would just need some sort of USB cable, and I've got various spares kicking around.

I spied again a lovely TVM mondriaan-coloured Gazelle heading up past the IMAX this morning. I know Jeez has or had one of these, but this was not Jeez. I was not fast enough to compliment the bike.

I've managed to shift quite a few bits but there's a fair amount still to go. I can't really drop the prices on the free stuff but happy to entertain offers (of cash) for any of the priced stuff.

If any of the dibbers (pandah, saxby's, coventry eagle) don't want the parts any more, pls to be letting me know.

dibs the Zipp bottom bracket, subject to it being in good nick of course!

A brief chat with OSR on the way towards elephant ce soir. Nice to see the purple frame back in service.

Sorry not to be joining you guys today: the bike is now a few pounds lighter than it was for the Kent outing, but I've got stuff to do at the ranch and that's not going to get done if I'm rolling home from Chingford at late o'clock. Bring tnrc back south some time soon! Enjoy the evening sunshine.

The amazing Joff on his ordinary heading east at the Tower of London, then a spokked black Dolan outside the design museum with clingfilm over its drivetrain, saddle and stem! Lots of shiny happy fixers around Jamaica Road this afternoon.

Not quite as shocking as watching the TV* news one evening and seeing Terry Venables being interviewed standing in front of my bike.

*Olde worlde expression for the television, not short for Terry Venables. As far as I know he doesn't have his own channel. Yet.

cool story warning: I used to work on the Haymarket and often locked up on a parking meter outside macdonalds. One day after work I came out and it had gone - the parking meter had been moved about 20 yards down the road, and the workmen who'd done it had gone to the trouble of making sure my bike was still locked to it when they finished moving it.

not me, this one's from villa-ru!

I think I know this one as well, but I don't have the technology to hand to get it.

Edit: no, I was wrong about this one. Carry on.

Just a minor point, to avoid any unpleasantness between seller and buyer: I wonder whether Ricco has been less than open with you about whether s/he is male or female. To my untrained eye, I'd say Ricco was female.

I apologise if this seems to be treading on people's toes, or if my use of the past tense seems insensitive in the light of Ricco's current condition.
