All,

I've got a spare 650c advertised here:
http://www.lfgss.com/thread73496.html

And since I've had ZERO interest, I thought swapping would be a good option...

The tyre is a (brand new with tag) 650 x 24mm Continental Grand Prix Road Tyre - Black (24-571) selling at £22 on Wiggle and I am looking for a new (or very lightly used) 700x23 tyre - clincher or tubular, in a similar price bracket.

Give me a shout if you fancy trading.

The tyre is at my work on Chancery Lane.

Cheers

M8! that looks well dodge, any one lost a fuji track bike?

Exactly my thoughts... Calling it single gear and spelling brakes 'breaks'...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170713480622&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

"Fuji track bike, 21inch frame,excellent bike, single gear, single front break in mint condition couple of slight scratches but nothing major at all rare and expensive bike "

How can you associate 'mint' and 'slight scratches'?
Rare & expensive bike?
I think not!

It can't be on eBay & on here at the same time.

Here are the rules:
http://www.lfgss.com/thread21978.html

Without rules, we'll be in France
With too many rules, we'll be in Germany

If you're not fast, you're last!
I'll give the tyres a miss for now.
Good luck with the rest of the sale!

Thanks for the wheel - great stuff at a great price!

I'm all over the
"Langster rear flip flop+18t freewheel.
Needs lots of love** £FREE**"
while I pick it up, I will also get:
2 of the "Various 700c tyres going for free will sort through them soon."

Will bring beers!

Cheers

My friend Eilidh had both wheels stolen yesterday from her Trek Soho.

I have sourced a complete rear wheel from Booba at a very decent price (£30):
http://www.lfgss.com/thread74069.html

I now need a cheap complete front wheel to get her bike back on the road...

700c with braking surface, true with decent bearings, ideally black with a tyre, ideally track so they aren't so easy to steal.

But beggars can't be choosers so QR skewers / crazy colours will do as long as it's cheap!

I work in Chancery Lane, live in Brixton so can pick up pronto.

Cheers

Dibs rear wheel - will PM

That's correct - PM me your details if you are interested!

Striking indeed sir. Right between the eyes.

Repped! Totally striking!

I had my very own crash on Thursday evening so I couldn't make it today. Sorry to hear about Glen - broken collarbone is pretty bad.

Got a love a midnight dibs!
Sure, I can fit a tubular at the back - cheapest tub is £15.49 on Wiggle, tub tape is £3.50 so it'll be ready to roll for an extra £19.

Bike Sold!

Size wise, it should fit someone between 4'11" and 5'6".

The bike has a 50cm seat tube, 50cm top tube centre to centre, italian forks with chrome ends, great lungs & Reynolds 531 tubing and those magic rear dropouts! Have a look at the picture galore below.

• Solida 50/42 chainset
  
• Simplex derailleur
  
• 700c quick release wheels with large flange Normandy hubs, front one is a clincher, rear on is tubular Mavic Special Sport
  
• Guid 40cm handlebars
  
• Weco pedals with Christophe chrome toeclips and leather straps
  
• Awesome Mafac Racer brakeset
  
• 90mm stem
  
• Sam Marco saddle with white leather strap for a spare tub
  
• Retro Marbel handlebar bag
  
  

The seatpost & handlebars move freely and so do all the cabling, I was going to give the bike a service: tightening everything, adjusting gears & brakes, regreasing the wheels bearings, fitting a rear tub and changing the front clincher & inner tube then polishing it to the max but this can now be your project!

**£SOLD!

Thanks for your PM & offer Buc - I won't let the wheel go for £100 since I just spent £40 on it.
I have not used the wheel since I serviced it so the parts are all brand new...
Wheel still available!

I've got an unbranded front 3 spoke clincher wheel for sale, I've just serviced it and it is good to go to a good home!

It is a 559mm 26" narrow rim (18mm inner/23mm outer) clincher, technically it is a MTB wheel but it's not far from a 650C wheel which would be 571mm - so it is a tad smaller (only 6mm in radius). I've put picture of the tri-spoke fitted to my 700c forks to give you an idea of the size. Spacing is standard 100mm front.

I have spent a few quid to service it (about £40) so it's ready to roll:

• New 6901-2RS wheel bearings (£6)
  
• New Continental Presta 60mm 650x18-25 Race 26 inner tube (£6.12)
  
• New White Halo Hex Skewer (£8.99)
  
• NOS Retro Specialized Turbo S 26x1.00 tyre with tan walls (£20, that was hard to find!) - that equates to a 25mm wide tyre.
  With all that kit fitted, the wheel with all the kit weights a mere 1250gr. It will also come with a spare used Continental Ultra Gatorskin tyre in 26x1 1/8 if you want to run some a tad wider (about 28mm).
  
  

I do not know the make of the wheel nor its age, it only has a '273' marking on it, that's it. It has braking surface which is practically unmarked, a couple of marks but nothing structural/major.

£SOLD takes it home

Pick up from Brixton please but can arrange to meet around Chancery Lane / somewhere central.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Vince

Price drop bump!

Steel? Nah!
Carbon...

All gone thanks

For sale due to an epic fail on my part, a (brand new with tag) 650 x 24mm Continental Grand Prix Road Tyre - Black (24-571)

I've got a 26" tri-spoke mountain bike wheel (559mm) and I thought i'd beat Sheldon Brown at his own game by guessing which tyre would fit it. Guess what? Sheldon was right - you can only fit a 26" MTB tyre on a 26" MTB wheel...

I didn't even try to fit it as it's clearly too big but it'll be a good addition to your 650 Lo-Pro wheels / Shamal Clincher / ladies racing bike.

The cheapest you can get them online is £22.42 on Wiggle so £SOLD for it sounds fair but let me know if I am out of line!
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/continental-grand-prix-road-tyre/

Pick up from Chancery Lane / Brixton.

PM'd!

And of course it's ok to jump into a classified thread.

Vince

All gone thanks

I've got 2 - a shorter one and a much longer one.

The kryptoflex is 120cm, the masterlock is around double that, circa 250cm.

The shorter one has only been used twice, the longer one was used to lock up my motorbike and has been used for a year - it is still in good condition.

I work on Chancery Lane if you can pick up, £6 for the short one, £8 for the long one...

All gone thanks

Ideally, you need cable clamps, just like the ones I happen to be selling:

http://www.lfgss.com/thread72022.html

Otherwise, you can just get cable ties from the pound shop, they won't be as pretty but they will certainly do the job.

Cheers
