Banana Bars and Tropical Gels, there are about 15 bars and 20 gels. I'll be dropping them into 14Bike co tomorrow morning to be left on the table. The use by date is March 17th for the bars and march for the gels.

Fill your boots...

Bought for a 24hr trip I did to Salcombe but I did not need as many as I thought (got very bored of them).

Yeah sure....they are sitting in the garage so no rush on my side.

I work in Spitalfields if you are around. Any time this week

I have some Shimano SPD's (M520) you can have for £10

if you are going to split i'd be interested in the Saddle / Seatpost / Brakes + Levers....

Thanks..New Open pro was ordered on Saturday. Yes I have a few knocking around in the garage to keep me moving for the time being.

Thanks again....

Thanks Ivan...sorry I did this to your baby after a few weeks. 2 Years and nothing, 4 weeks with your bike then this !

I'll sort out another open pro and get in touch about your preferred brew....

Cool, Thanks....Only the front wheel is bust.

Can you re-use the spokes, nipples ?

Came over Tower Bridge turned left onto Queen Elizabeth Street, A van was parked up on the left with its lights on. Slightly dazzled I re-gained sight to swerve round a ped, was thinking how close was that to then hit that massive pot hole in the middle of the road. Queue me sprawled all over the road with a fooked front wheel and a smashed up hand. Not sure if I fell cause of the hole or i tried to bunny hop it and stacked it either way it hurts. £40 cab home later i have a gashed finger and a huge red lump over my left kidney / hip.

Front wheel will need to re-built and my pride is hurt, Any recommendations on where to get it re-built, 36h Open Pro on a Phil. This was Ivan's bike...

Still funny story from the cabbie on the way back home about how he sold up expecting to move to greece with his wife only for her to tell him she had been hiding £50k worth of debt....now he is back out in the cab !

I got my Wedding Suit from Chris Kerr....Good prices

Skully, nice talking to you over tower bridge...

Hmm the more I think about it for £25 and a short drive Ciclos Uno is looking like the better option.

Tried a variation but I cannot get enough purchase on the post as the clamp is now rotating at the top of the post

Dibs Seatpost if not already gone

Okay looks like cutting over anything liquid is a better option to preserve the paint work. Yeah saw that Cyclos Uno advert....might give them a call.

Will the Caustic Soda kill the paint though ? the comment "makes an effective paint stripper" fill me with horror.

So I have a stuck post.....Its a Dura Ace Easton post stuck in a Colnago Master frame. Tried WD40 soaking and reading through Sheldon my next stop is Ammonia. I was planning to hang it upside down and pour it through a bottle boss ? Should I really think about stripping the bike down and going in through the BB ? Also will this harm the paint work ? presently I cannot get enough purchase on the post as clamp is now rotating at the top of the post. Next steps ?

1) Drill a hole through the post and get a large screwdriver to give me more leverage ?
2) Cut it out, I can hacksaw down through the slot in the seat clamp

Which will be the best way to protect the frame ?

I suppose my only real question is the Ammonia / Paint one.....

Also in future which is better to protect the post, grease or copper grease ?

Thanks....I'll tie the wife's legs together and hope I can pick it up on Saturday.

I can be but I need to let Primitve Robot make an offer 1st mate he dibbed early.
If he doesn't take it I'll let you know ASAP.

Cheers,

Ivan

That's cool, If it fit's then i'll be all over it.

Been looking at this for days......Are you around tonight for a veiwing to check size ? About 6-630 ish ?

Thanks

Don't be silly.....that will melt the rubber outer cover

I take it this is the type of stuff :

So I leave my lock at work as its too heavy to cart around. Monday I get into to find it stuck solid, a cup of hot water later and all is well but is there anyway I can prevent this, at the moment its at home drying on a radiator. Will a dry lube stop this in the future ?

What do others do ?
