+1 For Faust.

Saw it last Friday having got tickets from the half price ticket booth on Leicester Square (good tip).

The way Gilliam managed to interleave so many eclectic elements of the background (German Romanticism, the Enlightenment, the rise of Hitler), without losing his thread, and while still managing to keep the message vivid was impressive. Also some fantastic performances from the cast, which you wouldn't necessarily back a film director to elicit.

Spectacular show, especially in contrast to the last thing I saw there (Lucrezia Borgia), which was terrible.

I don't know why I just keep looking at the list and don't sign up. Time to do something about that.

Now SOLD I'm afraid. Apologies, will mend OP

Thanks Ramaye. Unfortunately I'll be away then. Maybe I'll try the last minute rides thread for some company.

I'm really keen on an evening ride next week. Haven't done TNRC before (jealous lurker), so probably couldn't hack a deluxe, but have bike (geared), lights (are the Electron 16-LED TNRC-approved?) and enough mechanical nous to get home for if it goes bad. I won't set the world alight speed-wise, but not a numpty either.

2nd dibs Garmin please!

Dibs cranks if Fyodor doesn't go for the lot.

Also did the Little Lumpy 65-miler on Sunday. Also couldn't understand all the moaning about signage. I've virtually no experience of these things, hadn't really looked at the route beforehand, but found the directions pretty clear. Only nav fail for me was taking a right up Turkey Hill for a second time after the last feed stop. Could have done without that.

Otherwise, cakes excellent, good mechanical backup, good roads and a nicely varied route. Would definitely do it again.

Now listed elsewhere

Dibs silver Sugino with BB please. Can pick up on way home this evening. PM coming

I tried to do this job a couple of weeks ago. Be careful, as the discs holding the jockey wheels in place appear to be very soft metal. I ended up stripping one out with an Allen key, and not much force.

Dibs the Veloce mech please pending questions, PM coming.

Do you have the NDS from this crankset too?

Still for sale

Price drop £250. Will go to the 'bay in a couple of days.

Anyone keen for an early, long-ish ride on the 14th? Sundays are kind of out of order for one reason or another at the moment, but am busting to get in some miles one of these weekends.

Will include the extra tyre in the sale. Post edited. Any interest?

Imperial Petrel Tandem, 3-speed Sturmey Archer hub gearing, 1930s.

Classic 1930s British touring tandem. Deep, pearlescent blue-green colour. Good condition but with some superficial rust and nicks in the paintwork. No dents. Restored by previous owner and has seen limited riding since (too small for me and the wife).

Seat tube (captain): 52cm (c-t)
Seat tube (stoker): 51cm (c-t)
Top tube (captain): 58cm (c-c)
Top tube (stoker): 58cm (c-c)
NB: short/laid back stems mean top tube lengths will be longer than for conventional geometry. See pictures.

The bike is in good condition for its age, beautiful example of a touring tandem. I've included pictures of the worst nicks in the paintwork.

Gears: Sturmey Archer 3-speed internal hub gear

Wheels: Raleigh rims 26 x 1 3/8. Front has a Continental Cityride tyre, rear tyre branded "Leo". I still have the front "Leo", but the wall is fairly perished. Have a spare unused Cityride if you want a matching set, which I'll include.

Vintage pedals, cottered cranks with some rust on cotter pins.

Bantel "Pursuit" mudguards.

2 x Brooks saddles, front heavily cracked but ridable, rear in reasonable condition

Do I Make You Dizzy Baby?

Have got some Hutchinson Acrobats (so a little knobbly), one brand new, one used for maybe 100 miles

It depends on how you feel about work...
