Dear LFGSS.

I'm after a 5 speed rear wheel (700c) - its for an old Raleigh so it needs to be in workable condition but doesn't need to be perfect - as long as its true and runs ok. The rear spacing on the bike is 120mm.

If anyone has one they would like to get rid of at a sensible price give me a shout.

Thanks.

Dibs on the whole bike subject to a couple of questions which I've just PM'd you...

Dibs on Mavic bars please.

Thanks for merging - didn't spot this thread

There now - I just got a talking to for riding brakeless (they seem to have cottoned on...)

PM'd

Ideally (and this is a long shot) Ofmega Super Competizione - if they were available I would consider buying the whole crankset.

But I really just need any half decent one to get my bike back
on the road.

Cheers!

Been running restraps for a couple of days - def impressed, though not used JOL/holdfast so can't compare. Better than powergrips.

I use straps for general riding round town and prefer them to my SPDs for brakeless riding as never feel 100% confident my feet won't release if I need to stop super quick - (keep the SPDs for my Bob Jackson which has a front brake). But I've heard ATACs have the edge on SPDs in that department.

Provisional dibs - PM'd

I assume its ok to order more than one...

Are you doing big bags at the moment? In the market for a decent messenger bag...

To echo sentiments already uttered from rosie owners - this thing is great... Picked it up from scott saturday lunchtime at BLB- then had to come down to winchester in the afternoon for some filming till tomorrow but I brought my bike and have been riding round the country lanes at night with the high beams on and rosie on my back - it's spot on - feels like no weight at all but carries everything you'd need.

well done sir :)

I bought mine in the batches from a couple of months back...got to say been rocking it non-stop, extremely well made and versatile. Fantastic hip bag.

Broakland, 3Rensho to name a couple.

The Goff looks cool - love the triple triangle.

Needs drops though!

Wools this morning across holborn circus and chancery lane - nice to chat fella.

yay... not sure about what length stem to go with but this it currently,

need to get my decals sorted next !

Really liking this Taylor. Not too sure about the black drops and forks but thats a personal choice. Are you putting Taylor decals on? In some ways I think it looks better plain stripped like it is.

Anyway really nice.

Dibs. PM on way

it's an american made taylor.. i wish he had a better website!

it's got a beautiful teardrop downtube, cant wait to give it a spin!

it's same height as my old green condor but longer, worried my saddle to bar drop might be uncomfortable but wont know till i try it, plonked on some risers last night and it looks beefy
:)

That looks very nice. Assuming you picked it up second hand rather than having it made?

Great ride, thanks again Peter.

Sorry again for the minor pile up mishap.

Comedian Tony Hawks in Condor early afternoon...not sure what he was buying but he was after something.

Just to confirm I will be attending on Sat.

Headz roll!

Liking your Metalheadz slipmats.

Haha big up.

Hi all.

Update on the Bob Jackson I was doing up (which was in pretty good nick to start with anyway).

http://www.londonfgss.com/post854915-14038.html

Its finished now, more or less, though it does need a new saddle (probably dark brown, maybe Brooks). I'm a little unsure about the fizik grip tape but until I see some grips I really like I am going to stick with it.

The frame is Reynolds 753 track tubing, Dura-Ace hubs laced to Mavic Open 4CD rims which I got off the original bike, Ofmega Super Competition cranks and 48t road chainwheel and a 19t rear sprocket which gives about 68 gi, and nice new Nitto quill stem and flat bar.

I also put some Shimano 600 pedals and original 105 cages on but as nice as they look they don't give me the confidence I need riding fixed on the roads so planning to swtich to SPDs.

Thanks for comments I had earlier on here especially the ones pleading with me not to mess with the colour scheme - I had planned to re spray it but I doubt I could ever get anything that would have the same vibe as this and gradually came round to that point of view.

Sorry for the rubbish phone camera photos.

I thought St Pauls was free - well it is if you go in for evensong (5 every day). Worth doing.
