Still looking. 700c wheel size please. About 49/50cm size frame.

Not quite what I'm after, but thanks. An old Dawes would be ideal.

After a nice 531 bike for a friend who is quite new to cycling. Must be in good condition and suitable for 5ft2 height. Sub-£200 please. Can collect in London or Oxford / surrounding area, or pay for courier costs from elsewhere. Rack mounts please, and 700c wheel size.

Please message me directly, with photos, if you have something suitable.

Thanks.

Brilliant, thanks. Was searching for a 7 for ages, and the 6 is much more widely available.

Updating the beater with some new old parts.

Q: I have a Shimano 600 hub with a 7-speed Shimano cassette on, the one where the small ring is the lock ring. Will the same hub also accept a 6 speed cassette? Will I need a spacer? Will it fit 8, or is that for 130mm-spaced frames?

Also, if I'm replacing the cassette, chain, and chainrings, should I also replace the rear mech's jockey wheels?

Glad they arrived safely and are being put to good use.

Any news on a Nikon D750 successor? Don't want to buy one if a newer version is coming soon.

Picked up a second-hand Canon S95 as iPhone ended up in the washing machine and rear camera is now all fuzzy. Liking it so far.

Cleats gone.

Not keen on tubeless and sealant business (happy with Open Pave CG and spare tubes), and no SO to take out to dinner, but thanks for the thought. Have language classes to pay for, so wheels will have to wait a bit longer still.

Those look good. I'm guessing they'll be an improvement over Aksium S? Wider and slightly taller. Wanted to save some weight at the same time is the only downside, but seem good for the price.

Just waiting to hear back from someone about the cleats. Socks sold.

Still looking.

I don't have any hooded ones myself, and the ones I have tried on always seem restrictive (too tight etc). You can just Google "hooded base layer", or try something with a high collar and then use your choice of Buff. It'll be better than a base layer with a hood. Synthetic moves moisture better but will smell after one use and need washing / merino is better for slower riding or multi-day trips or stop/start rides. Icebreaker stuff is a weird fit, so would avoid.

Wiggle have the front ones.

Merino, synthetic, or either? With built-in hood or not? Don't see the point personally. Buff would be fine too.

Craft and Arcteryx for synthetic. Helly Hansen's warmer ones are a merino / synthetic mix.

So hop in a time machine and go grab yourself one?

What's the forum feeling on the RS81 C35 at this price? About 150g heavier than the DA 9000 version.

Better than Zondas for £240?

Ah right, for Halloween. Bloody stump just out of shot. Makes sense now.

SuperSix Evo

Hand on saddle when bike is leaning on shutters is confusing.

How can I tell if that's a genuine Rock Lobster? It's designed as a CX bike, right? Just someone has fitted risers instead of drops?

Look on Wiggle. Sportful and Castelli both have solid options which are well-reviewed. Sportful especially.

You're talking about an older version of the 105 groupset though, right?
