As I said, I am talking about riding in London. The number of unlit roads I have used in London in the last 25 years is, er, er...

Well I do ride down one or two, and a few towpaths and across a few parks. And down some lit roads there are deep shadows and lurking potholes. I like to be able to see as well as be seen.

Thing I hate is when I can't ride, and I know what I am missing. Then I wish I had never started.

No. I said a light that is bright enough.
I use one of these

£15 or so. I also don't have problems with drivers acting as if I was not there.

That light is really piss poor if you have ever need something that actually lights up the road. I have one as a back up but I would recommend something with a more powerful beam if you ever have use unlit roads.

It isn't going to be very tight, you may be able to get it to turn with pointy thing, I used an old school compass to do this once, worth a try, it was surprisingly easy.

Yes, still available!

Thanks, shame. I want these for an old Klein but the BB is not easily replaceable, and is too short. thanks for finding out before I bought them.

Do you know what length BB these take if used with double chainrings?

This is very impressive:-

you have to stop 30 miles from home and beg food from a roadside burger van to keep the pedals turning

^^^ must actually be the puncture fairy

Happy to buy this, where are you? How can I pay for it?

This is back on the market.
However I will only send it overseas if you pay the price of carriage, whatever it is!
The cost to mainland europe is in the region of £80
I won't split it either, but I could swap out the rear wheel and put in a new Goldtec \ Open pro if the price as it stands is too high.

I think there might be demand for a local forum where I live, but when I followed the link to the guidance the page(s) are full of spam. I can't really send http://www.lfgss.com/thread43931.html out to prospective forumengers as it is if I want to be taken seriously.
As it is all old and irrelevant to the subject of setting up a local forum can it be cleared out? Or a new page created that does the job of the original?

OT, but earlier this week I saw one of Robs bikes in the flesh, his folding road bike. http://www.englishcycles.com/custombikes/folding-road-concept/
Amazingly beautifully made.

I will ride my daughters bike, she has packed up! Not as nice as this though!
and thanks for the bump!
It looks like it is sold now!

Don't apologize Mark, you simply made the reality behind a statistic tangible. Thanks!

That reduced me to tears. That cement mixer driver should be hauled out of his cab and made to read that.

I know, that is why I am selling it. Bought a frame advertised as needing 30.9, of course it needs a 31.6. Ordered the post before the frame arrived!

Unfortunately the right shoe has a bit of road rash, which has worn a hole the size of a pea through to the mesh liner
They have two sets of inserts and two sets of look delta cleats, both a bit worn, but will do for a while.
I would like £25 plus whatever it costs to post to wherever you are.

I should add that there is a small dent in the top tube, it is clear in this photo:-

And from that you might notice that the paintjob is a pearlescent finish, and apart from that ding and some marks on the rear dropouts is more or less perfect.
The photo wasn't high risk, it was propped up but almost blew over, the hands caught it before it landed!
