Thank you.. I will give that a go at the weekend. And go from there.

Very much appreciated

I will be all ears... Thank you..

Dammit dammit

Excellent advice.

I'll try and drop by. Hills and beer, what's not to like?

I am a bit stuck.

I bought a lovely, lovely Lynskey Sportive Disc at the beginning of the year. I was adamant that I wanted discs as I commute all year and loved the hydraulics on my old flat bar bike.

Unfortunately the cable discs on my Lynskey are not a patch on the hydraulics so I want to make a move. Shimano have helped by giving me choices.. One is to move to di2 and change everything. Lynskey say the frame can be drilled so that us an option, but a pricey one. There are also new mech changers with hydraulic brake levers, but only for 11 speed, so I guess I would need pretty much a full new groupset anyway to move away from my 10 speed 105 setup.

So all in all a bit lost with where to go at the moment.

Thank you for listening :-)

I ignored the fact that my suit no longer fitted when I came for interview for my current job and have heard since that I looked an utter state. Despite this I got the job, then sent me to Texas for a month, which made it fit again.

Just fought back down again. 17 stone 2 at my worst. 12 12 or so now and a good way to go. Every pound off makes me quicker up Archway Hill.

I am so tempted to spunk cash on a dexa scan for pure geek insets

Just watched the video and have decided that there is no way I am ever going for beers ever, it just looks too hard.

My ridgeback flat bar bike had hydraulic discs which were utterly fabulous. My lynskey has cable discs and they are very good but not as fabulous, mainly because they require much more maintenance.. Considering an upgrade, but then I also have to decide whether to go di2... Ho hum

Damn.. Think I missed this thread... Otters in Xl next time you get a chance...

Very pretty, like it a lot.

Not close to you, but full city on Leather Lane are superb for this sort of thing

That looks so lovely.

All done. collected by Johnny Earlier.. Thanks everyone

Really really pleased with mine, thank you..

For the benefit of the partially stupid, what is the pact deal?

Johnny, Excellent! PM me and let me know when you can collect

47257, Looks like Johnny may have beaten you to it :-) Not keen on posting really but at a push

Hambar, I am sure we can come to some sort of arrangement on the socks...

Free to good home (or bad home, I'm not really fussed)

49cm step through 531 frame.

Not pretty but far from terrible. Just never got round to building it up and came across it in the garage.

Collection from Barnet in North London. You might consider a donation to the forum if it is useful to you.

sacredheart,

Unlikely that I will be able to get to you with cash this week so t.o, probably all yours.

George

If this falls through I'll take em.

Bizarrely I have bought from both you and Dazaa in the last little while.

Hovis speaks for me.

Hi,

I might very well be interested but need to measure daughter's inside leg and obviously would like to look at photos.

Whereabouts in North London are you? We are in Barnet.

Many Thanks

I think they are Dolan built from memory.

I have one of these and it is frankly gorgeous, I love it.

Up fro grabs is my 853 tig welded road frame, forks and headset.

I got this a year ago from here http://www.lfgss.com/thread105476.html

It is a lovely bike. Branded as a Ribble but built by a respected framebuilder (whose name annoyingly I cannot remember right now)

I had the frame 'professionally' wrapped in a real tree camo similar to this to look after and protect from scratches

I will get photos of its current guise up asap however in the mean time here are some as it looked last summer when I rode it up and down some alps (it was fantastic).

There is a tiny ding in the top tube and an even smaller one in the incredibly beefy chainstay. Neither of which are any issue.

This hasnt been ridden too much as from Dec-May it was inside as I was out of the country. Also now including a headset.

*£230* Collected from North London or can meet. Would rather not post.

Any questions, shoot em over.

thanks.

I'd love this for my mum, but it's a bit big. Nice bike though. Glws

Offchance I know but...

I accidentally bought a bike box in Harrogate on eBay... If anyone happens to be up there for the tour and has room in their car/van for a box on the way down and the quiet vendor answers his email I would be delighted to pay fifty quid for someone to bring it down to London..

Out of interest, is the single speed wheel a lot lighter? I'm half wondering about doing this too.

[I][/I]

On a weight saving mission on the Brompton.
Swapped the 5 speed rear wheel for a single speed.
Got some Ti frame clamps on order (the ones that hold the clamp in position all the time).
Swapping the tyres for lightweight Kojaks.

Any other ideas without doing anything crazy? Can you get plastic mudguards?
