Tis gone!

Sorry dude, someone is coming to see it today so was waiting until they came to reply. Should be able to let you know in a couple of hours if it's still available.

That just made my night. I can go to bed now.

I am biased, but Rapha bibs all the way. Also you can go and try them on at the shop in Soho to make sure you get the right fit and if you get the women's classic bibs then under the classics guarantee you can return them within 30 days if they don't fit or you don't like them even if you've worn them a lot. So you can test them on a few long rides to make sure you get on with them.

That was absolutely heartbreaking...

Spam alert...selling a BNIB Lomography Diana Mini camera for £20 here: http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/271383/

Small road frame, perfect for a conversion. This was my first ever single speed bike which I then turned fixed. Bought from this very forum in 2009: http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/157666/ and rode it daily until around 2011 when I upgraded but kept the frame on standby in case my current bike got damaged or nicked. Now that I have a road bike I don't really need an emergency frame so am putting it back to whence it came.

It's no longer in great condition.
– The paintwork is chipped and scratched to hell pretty much everywhere
– there's rust on the seat clamps and chainstays
– there's residue of various stickers and tape (the infamous CUNT stickers)
– the headset is well stiff
– I think there's a spider living inside it.

BUT IT WILL RIDE! AND IT LOOKS COOL!

Perfect for your shorter lady, I'm 5'3 and it fit like a dream.

Seat tube 48cm ctc
Top tube 50cm ctc

Due to it's frankly appalling state I'm going to let it go for £50 + £15 postage or collection from Stoke Newington

The box is slightly battered but it's never been opened and all the contents are untouched.

It was a present and though I really like the idea of it, I barely even use my digital camera at the moment and I could do with the cash for bike parts instead.

£20 collected from Stoke Newington/Kings Cross/LMNH

Last year I got a bargain on this frame direct from the Planet X website, however I never built it up because I was lacking the £££ for all the fancy crabon parts I wanted, and when I put some wheels on it recently when thinking about riding it at the Red Hook Crit I realised that it's actually slightly too big for me. So this is a brand new frame literally never built up or ridden. It also comes with an aero seatpost (pictured).

Sizing according to the website is 5′2″ to 5′6″ (157cm-167cm) however I am 5'3 and I couldn't quite stand flat-footed over it so I'd say it's for 5'4 to 5'6 height people. The seat tube is 52cm ctt, 50cm ctc, effective head tube 51.7cm (more specs on the link below).

FORKS/HEADSET NOT INCLUDED. These were given to me by @HoKe to try out and buy if I liked them but since it was never built I owe him these back so are for illustrative purposes only, this sale is for the frame and seatpost only.

£190 + £15 postage or collection from Stoke Newington
Currently £549.99 on the Planet X website you can see the full specs for the frame on this page too

Speaking of which did anyone see Cav giving Porte a big push to help propel him along the outside of the peloton back to the front with some water bottles? It was the cutest thing ever! No longer team mates but still buddies.

Someone on a red low pro throwing devil horns at @Sumo and I earlier today at the junction between Balls Pond Road and Essex Road. Was too tired to recognise or wave back, could only manage a weak grin. Who you?

Don't look at how many followers @IR has though :(

I've reached 1000 followers. I feel like I've won at Instagram.

@funky_d Yes indeed, I was going to watch @Sumo race at Lee Valley Velopark. I need to find a better route there than Morning Lane and Homerton High St, it seems to be a perpetual traffic jam.

I'm having quite a week!

I'm savouring it for all its worth because I know I'll be just another fixie skidder again next week.

Wow, I've made it!

Oh hai!

I spent at least 5 minutes making my head turn back and forth on the website today and laughing hysterically.

I put some wheels on it and turns out it's actually too big for me :(

Fucking hell, so fast.

That girl in white at the front absolutely buried herself during the final race, she spent about 5 laps on the front of our chasing group totally going for it and trying to break away before blowing up a couple of laps from the finish and got left for dead I think. She was very strong to have kept it up for so long but that was a bad move tactically.

I second this. I particularly need a better track frame and wheels and some sunglasses to stop my eyeliner from running in the wind.

Yeah that's me! Great shot, thanks.

Thanks so much to everyone who cheered me on during the women's final race. It was fucking incredible to be racing and have my name being screamed at me on nearly every corner. I felt like a celebrity and it really helped me keep pushing on (and more people were shouting my name than Juliet Elliott who was also in my group which made me feel pretty smug, ha).

It was an amazing race and I'm really chuffed to have placed 19th out of 39, especially since I only started training properly a month ago.
