Went from London Heathrow to Sydney via Singapore. Flew with Singapore airlines.

Decided to take my least loved bike with (Charge Pluge) in case it all went wrong.
Bought a Pinnacle bike bag from Evans for 90 quid and asked if I could have the cardboard box it came in. Was a bitch to get it home but ripped the box to create some extra support. All in all it weighed in at about 16 kg's. Not too bad considering I had put some extra clothing in it as well.

Getting to the airport was shit but it suffered no damage on the way there. Used it to cycle around Sydney for 2 months, and when I got back to London one of the wheel bags had ripped so that the qr for the front wheel had bent. I signed a form on the way back, which meant that all liability was with myself ( I did not have to sign such a thing on the way there and on the way back I could not really fathom the thought of having to leave my bike behind or having it shipped so I did it anyway).

Took a hammer to the qr and it went back into place, it is not as good as it used to be but they aren't very expensive to replace so I am not too bothered.

All in all I was quite pleased, I am now considering taking my Cinelli with on the train to The Netherlands.

PS: This be the bag.

Late notice perhaps but I need a bike bag to borrow. Would buy one but 90 quid seems a bit steep for something I will use once.

Going to Aus on Monday and need my bike there. Will be gone for 6 weeks so back on the 15th of September. I will gladly pay a small fee for this favour.

I live in Hackney by the way.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Therese at Bike Yard East for being amazingly helpful over the last few months with my minor problems and helping me build up my Cinelli. Very fun to talk to as well and very helpful regarding openness and advice. Lovely.

Also a guy at CycleSurgery at Spitalfields who is very nice and also helpful, almost bought some white cycling shoes, before I changed my mind. Thank god. Nice chap though!

Yes that is the case. I need to buy a pedal wrench asap I guess. right o.

Bought a pair of Sidi Dominators of the bay for cheap. They were cheap because the owner clipped one of the shoes in to the pedal while I guess it was not on the bike. The cleat is quite loose so when I try to manually unclip the shoe it just slides the cleat a bit and it does not unclip.

This is obviously a huge problem as I was excited about riding clipless for the first time ever ( and falling over ).

Any advice/tips/tricks would be appreciated.

It has a single release mode.

Interested for a little less £. PM sent.

The one near Liverpool Street has 6 in stock. Excellent. Thanks a bunch guys, appreciate the quick reactions.

This is a very random thing to ask but I have been going round to all the usual places; Currys, PCworld and some little random shops but I seem to be unable to find a stereo audio adapter. See link below, would anyone know where I can get one.

Except on the internetings.

Would like to go but afraid I will buy too much and I wont be able to carry it all with me.

Amazing. Nice background too.

My old bike! It still lives.

Hmmm, I do hope this would fit my 6' 2.

Okidoki.

On a side note, how tall are you?

If you do not sell this on the bay I will buy it next week when I get my pay.

OT: The London Bicycle Repair Shop ey. Is that not part of that tour company?

Great evidence if it is false.

Spotted a ginger bearded oaf of a man on the phone going towards Parliament from Buckingham Palace today. Tribal tattoo on right upper arm.

Brand new. Returned them to Knog and bought new ones while they were away. Got new ones returned today so do not need them.

They retail for £35 at Evans.

Ideally looking for £30 ONO.

Pick up only in Hackney. (1 min from Broadway Market.)

Oh they are white as snow.

Cranks are quite handy though.

This should work.

I could have sworn I posted this earlier - I'm not sure whether it was submitted and deleted or whether I had a senior moment. If there's a problem with my advertising this, please let me know. I had not intended to infringe upon any of the rules.

On offer here is my 19" (54cm equivalent) medium-sized Pearson Hanzo with the following specification:

I'll take £250 from anyone who can collect from New Mills or central Manchester.
It will be £300 (including postage) for anyone who insists I post it. That bit extra reflects the time and trouble to lug a bike box home, as well as fully insured postage.

Miche track hubs on open pro rims
Front tektro dual pivot brake. (Rear brake is not fitted, can be supplied).
48t x 16t fixed gear
Mudguards (reflector snapped off the rear)
Butted chromoly 19" frame - this is the medium size, somewhere near 54cm equivalent.
ITM Racer handlebars
Kona 110 mm stem
Kona aluminium seatpost
Vittoria 700c x 23mm tyres of some description.

I was knocked off the bike late last year and although the bloke from the bike shop near work said he would still ride it, I would change the handlebars and the brake levers (one of them got mangled). Otherwise the bike is completely unscathed - my elbow broke it's fall!

The bike has the regular marks and scrapes from the rigours of commuting. It's still on it's original drive train which I can only guesstimate as covering 3-4k. *Complete with SPD pedals, I had it weighing in at approx 9.6kg.

I would rather not post. Can possibly deliver in the north west or take on a reasonably priced return train journey.
