Cheers, must be wrong time of year

^ TBH I'd be more than happy to let it go for that price if anyones willing to come and collect - Saves me alot of hassle and I prefer to deal face to face, less problems that way. It didn't work out with Greeny anyway so no worries.

Brilliant price. Awesome bar tape. Win all around.

I'm trying to touch up my raleigh to see it through the winter before getting it professionally resprayed - But the paint is Pearlescent and I'm having a hard time matching it.

Checked Halfords for there stock - Nothing

I was thinking either Mixing up a little metallic gold hobby paint with gloss white to get a similar effect, or maybe having a look at nail varnish because it would probably have the right shimmer.

Don't want to spend much money on it.

Any ideas?

This may sound a bit odd for such a small detail - I think one of the reasons Campag looks better on older bikes because the cranksets still retain a traditional looking hole in the centre of the crank whereas shimano have that alien like one piece job which just looks a bit wrong. Campag's silver is a pretty traditional affair whilst the silver of Shimano components tend to be more of a blue/grey hue.

Also, the Campag ergo levers are a much more classic shape, whereas the Shimano one's are just fugly.

Heres a picture illustrating my points (though admittedly not a properly vintage frame)

^ Pm'd

Not sure yet - Will give it a couple more days to see if anyone wants to buy as a whole and then will put up a split list with prices.

Got to put an art degree to good use eh.... think i matched the blue just right

^ PM'd

Let me know, had no other interest in it - Cant bare to throw away anything dura ace

As my Carlton's not getting much love on the main forum if it hasnt sold in the next couple of days I'll split it, would any brumengers be interested in the parts below:

£140 Frame/Fork/nearly new Headset/bb (barry has first dibs if he still want's it)
£60 Wheels + nearly new tyres (Double fixed Maillard rear - Shimano Exage front, Both laced to Rigida rims. Bearings not super smooth, but reasonable)
£25 Silstar Crankset 165mm w/45t NOS chainring
£30 Dirty Harry/Ultegra Caliper/Swiss stop combo
£25 Brooks 67' Pro saddle brown (slight damage, can show pics etc)
£5 27.2 Seatpost Silver
£5 Plastic pedals with straps/cages.

I'd keep the bars and stem for my roadie.

Second the stretchy jeans - Last winter I wore a cheapy pair with long johns underneath - And some waterproofs in the bag incase it got really wet. Kept me warm enough 10 miles each way

if you split i dibs frame

I'm gonna give it a few days and see if anyones interested in the whole bike, if not I'll get a list up with the separate bit's and pieces.

Very nice and great price! Any pics of your Raleigh anywhere?

Yep got one below. Its a road frame, not track, haven't seen one this small so couldn't resist buying it. Paints pretty shabby, I'm touching up the worst of it and throwing on a cheap 80's 105 gruppo for the winter - Plan to get it re-sprayed properly and some nicer component's in the spring.

(This Raleigh is not for sale)

This rides beautifully even on longer ones - Would love to keep it as it's hard to find nice track frames in this size, but I've got a Raleigh Panasonic Team replica that needs expensive attention.

I'm asking** £325 Inc. Postage/Delivery** (bike located in Birmingham)

Any Questions Please ask!

Dibs stem and turbo if willing to post. PM sent

Granted the frames alot nicer, but they've cheaped out with the unbranded crankset

Just want to congratulate the cycling blog team - The last few weeks have produced a good variety of articles, and not at all london centric. The obree piece was particularly good. They need to try and get more coverage from the front page though

It's a shame the CIFers moan so much (read the discussion on the bike films piece) I've never seen so much hatred directed at fixed gears. Can't we just all get along? I actually quite enjoyed BIKEZOIMOND

No unfortunately - It's all off a 6 speed gruppo

Happy to meet/drop stuff off this weekend.

I had a great time, really enjoyed the film and strangely enjoyed the fact that I almost died on the bike ride but somehow survived intact.

What happened?

Fun night, The cynic in me wanted to hate the film after seeing the trailer but I thought it struck an incredibly joyful tone, and they look like they had a blast making it. Popcorn was excellent aswell!

We were wondering what the equivalent based in birmingham would look like?

The concave ones have a square cutout on the underside that will fit snuggly over the boss + base and match the tube. Just like the washers/spacer things you get with downtube shifters
