Riding across a junction at which I had green and a cyclist decides to cross my path riding across the pedestrian crossing - he was still quite far ahead so not bothered. But then a sheep like pedestrian also wonders out into the middle of the road looking nowhere in particular and I shout 'look out'. Cyclist shouts 'you jumped the lights mate'. Er, no I didn't - it was green for me and you just rode across a pedestrian crossing.

SOLD

Here's another photo, not sure it's any clearer though.

Dolan FXE 58cm aluminium frame only (no fork). With seat tube collar. Will take full mudguards and rear rack.

Used as daily commuter but well looked after.

Details on these frames can be found here: http://www.dolan-bikes.com/dolan-fxe-aluminium-fixie-frameset.html

The geometry is quite aggressive and I now prefer a slightly more relaxed position when commuting.

Note there is some damage to the right chain stay due to chain coming off and becoming jammed. Photos of the damage. This happened at the end of last summer and the frame has been ridden as a commuter since then with no issues but I'm no expert so can't claim it's just cosmetic.

I noticed the extent when stripping it down.

£20. Collection - Wandsworth.

Good suggestions. Quite liking the smiths, the timekeepers and the steinhart. Not a big fan of the big swirly crown on the timekeepers though. I think I like a functional look.

Am thinking of treating myself to a new watch. I'm looking for a nice, classic looking automatic, pilot style - sort of the next level up from my Seiko5. I had thought Hamilton but they're not really doing it for me. Suggestions?

Any recommendations for a bag/s for 3 day mini tour (2 overnights in youth hostels)? Want to carry the bare minimum.

Price drop on wheels. Both items available still.

I had to take mine back for a refund, syncing and software issues rendered it useless, except as a speedo, and I wasted too much time trying to get it to do anything vaguely advanced like upload a route. Shame as it's a good concept, it's small and if it worked would do everything I basically need.

Happened to me whilst waiting (not track standing) in traffic near Oxford Circus. Black cab driver rolled on to my back wheel. Turned around and asked why he just shrugged his shoulders.

Ha, guess I walked into that. Just read back the post and see how it reads.

Basically, I've not bought any kind of hi fi system in decades and somehow imagined that by now they'd have come up with half decent sounding one piece systems of some kind or another. Admittedly I've not done any real research so was being lazy. Presumably that's not the case then.

I'm thinking of getting some kind of all in one system. Something with a hard drive for storing lossless files, streaming, CD player, digital radio. The Sony hap s1 looks good but only has a hd. Anything I should be looking at?

Both still available

I'll take this. Am about to send you a PM.

Moving flat so need to get rid of some stuff. Collection SW London/Wandsworth, or possibly White City.

DT Swiss Axis Wheelset
With Espoir 700x25mm tyres
No cassette
10 speed Shimano hub

Condition: Decent, used only a few times. Would be good for a commuter/winter bike. £45

Vittoria Randonneur Cross Pro 32mm Tyres (Pair) £10

Condition: Decent, used but still most of lifespan left.

Am looking at upgrading my system, as currently all I have is a laptop and a couple of budget/ reasonably OK sounding speakers. Looking at mini systems in the Denon range (and others). Budget up to around £500. Ideally would like CD and wireless and possibly DAB. I have no knowledge of what speakers would work with a mini system. Any recommendations on what gives best value (would consider 2nd hand)?

I have a lambskin leather jacket - any experts on leather able to advise on the best cleaning and conditioning products/methods?

It's this one:

The drift into the ASL is a typical passive aggressive London driver manoeuvre. When the Evening Standard reported the police were considering fining motorists for it suddenly there were no drivers drifting into ASLs for about a week. Likewise when the police set themselves up at junctions suddenly motorists are capable of hanging back behind the line. It's one of those things like drifting left or right to cut off space for filtering. It's not major road rage, but just the little acts of selfishness that make riding in London so tedious.

I changed my izumi track chain about five months ago and according to my chain wear tool it is now needing replacement. Seems very short lifespan for a chain, used on a commuter but not everyday and not huge distances- about 10 miles a day. Cog and chainring don't appear visibly warn. These are all 1\8 track components. After how many miles would you expect to change a track chain/cog/chainring?

My edge 25 won't sync with Garmin express either. Bluetooth to Garmin connect works. Anyone found a solution to the sync to express issue?

Thanks
I've sourced the canyon one, so went for that as it matches the bike.

Ideally a canyon s13 VCLS 15mm-35mm one. But would be interested in others. Need to test out moving seat further back.

OK, thanks. Looking at that forum apparently only FIT files work. Haven't tried actually following a course yet, so will see what happens then.

I'm trying to transfer a course onto the device so I can follow it/use it for navigation. Can I use manual upload for that?

Just bought an Edge 25. Having managed somehow to sync a couple of courses from my mobile via bluetooth to the device, I now can't sync any more either via Garmin Connect or via bluetooth. I used internet explorer and downloaded the latest communicator plugin and have garmin express.

The bluetooth is working as it's picking up my missed calls.

Completely new to all this so maybe there is something others have worked out that works?
