What's sold, the Neutron rims or the Protons? Seen your ad for these on Retrobike so we can continue the conversation there.

Well these are still available after all that...let me know if you are still interested.

Yes still available but I've been slow replying to PMs. Someone expressed interest in buying them last week & I only replied today so would like to give them a chance to reply. If it's a no I'll let you know, is that ok?

Hi Halbert, sorry I must have notification by email turned off. It must have been a late 90s Veloce 9 speed hub. I'm pretty sure it was pre-10 speed but, as we know, 9 and 10 speed are interchangeable. Either way, it accepts a 10 speed cassette just fine. You may need to re-dish the rear wheel though. My LBS thought I needed a new axle at first as well but turned out not to be the case.

Mavic GP4 rims on Campag Chorus 10 speed cassette hubs, 32 spokes & campag skewers. - £65 ono please plus delivery (I'll be in London 6-8 December if you can wait for hand delivery) . Originally 8 speed hubs, cassette body swapped for a Veloce body so I could use it with a 10 speed bike. I still have the 8 speed body somewhere so if someone wants this too for an additional amount. I'd like £65 for the pair or a near offer. Wheels seem to have plenty of life left, little wear to the rims as they we my race wheels & hubs are smooth but not as new.

Hope you don't mind me piggybacking your thread but I have a pair of these to sell too if any takers and will be in London Wed/Thu 18/19/06 this week and Mon-Thu 23-26/06 week.

I need some forks for a Time VXS frame. This uses Time's Quickest headset system so standard threadless forks won't work. Frame is a 55cm one & headtube is about 16cm and 1 1/8". Any help finding suitable Time forks would be really appreciated.

Deda post received, great condition thanks.

Interested in the free rims if still available, where is collection from?

Sidi's received, great condition, thanks Homie!

You have PM re Sidis

Dibs please, will PM

Hi I'm very interested in these but in Cardiff. Would you post? Have family in Surbiton as an alternative.

Will move to correct forum

Here's my Roberts Audax in blue & silver. Do have the original forks too which are lovely & I really should refit them but my spares were for threadless & I got a deal on the carbon forks.

One great feature is Roberts spaced the brake bridges to the absolute bottom of the long reach calipers so it can take 32mm tyres & still squeeze in mudguards. It has had a rack & panniers but looks nicer without them.

Bought this from someone off eBay & picked it up from him at Waterloo Station, it currently resides in Cardiff but it's done the occasional cross-London trek from Paddington down to Kingston.

This is my 2nd 2nd-hand Roberts, first was a pink Columbus SLX I bought in 1988 (!) & actually did some races on it. Wish I'd kept it, C-Record Delta & all!

Love to be able to get a new one one day but this will do for now.

Well used Laprade seatpin, last one on the right in the photo: £10 plus post ono

Gebhardt black chainring 50 tooth, 135mm bcd (Campag) 1/8" I think. Indoor use only (Newport Velodrome), almost as new condition. £20 plus post.

I guess the front mech will work fine with double chainsets too? If so I'll take it please, paypal gift ok? I'm in Cardiff so if you let me know postage cost (whichever is cheapest please) I'll send you my details.

I do I do! I cycle up and down my road outside house doing it. Thought I had got it down but then I get distracted and it all goes out my head and my left foot starts flailing about like a twat.

In my defence it's been about a week since throwing away the clips and straps

Not that I threw them away. They are in the shed

Well it sounds like you've mastered avoiding the slow sideways fall of shame so you're nearly there.

When I first tried clips & straps in traffinc I ended up on the bonnet of a furious motorist's car at a red light on the Kings Road . All I remember is pushing myself back upright & pedalling off like a nutter through the red light as his curses faded away! I got used to them eventually.

My first clipless pedals were Time ones & ended up doing the slow "oh no I'm not going to hold it" sideways thing a few times before I got the hang of it, first time in front of a packed cafe at the top of Box Hill when I tried to pull away in too big a gear & then somewhere at traffic lights on Portsmouth Road somewhere near Tooting.

Just embrace it as a rite of passage!

Still getting used to the novelty of having more than one Brit rider to choose from in the peloton these days, Cav is best until Wiggins wins Le Tour. Even better that neither of them are dull, Cav is hilariously narky post race if it hasn't gone his way & Wiggo's Paul Weller obsession is good for a laugh too. His comeback ride in the Vuelta last year was great to watch. Full marks to Cav for getting through the whole Giro, is this long-term preparation to make sure he's in with a chance at the Olympics?

Levers look like very similar to C-Record ones that I used to have back in late 1980s, don't recognise brakes as never had that style. Not sure there was much to differentiate the levers in the different groupsets back then until they started putting the model name on them.

I have bags full of old cantis if anyone wants some. Not quite sure why got so many, most unbranded happy to give away if people cover post.

Do have a pair of black Control Tech cantis though to sell if anyone interested. Same as these (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NbIGWWUsrQs/R4V4rE-qQoI/AAAAAAAAAgY/_p9tLIZfdDw/s1600-h/Control+Tech+Cantis.jpg) mine are used but in good condition, weigh only 140 grams according to the label on the box

Huh, £50 for pitlocks! I got a pair Allen Key quick releases for about £10-£15 for security on a commuter but was able to use them to convert a front road tub wheel for track use no problem. Used it at Newport Velodrome, previously they made me tape up the road quick release as a temporary measure so I wouldn't have a wasted trip on my first session.
