Nice bike dude. I sometimes come back from Jodrell that way. Was jealous. I'd just returned from a 6hr motorway journey. Wish I'd been out on the bike instead.

Hairy geezer with a blue cap on a white fixed beginning with a C (possibly Carrera)
On the Altrincham M56 roundabout.

Baldy geezer on a dark red fixed with bright yellow drops near hough end in Chorlton.

2nd dibs on he shorts plz.

White Vittoria Randonneur 28c used but lots of life left. A bit grubby but will clean up with white spirit £10

Guy with a Genesis Madisons on Chorlton green by the graveyard entrance.
It was brand spanking. I stopped for a chat. It was a 50x15 stock model no front brake
Now maybe it's cos I'm an old b@st@rd but how does one stop with such a big gearing?
Tidy bike for an off the peg though.

Tell him to check out the Triban 3 road bike in Decathlon. £299, aluminium frame, carbon forks with a Shimano 2300 STI groupset. Chainset is a triple though. What sort of level does he ride at? I don't see the Triban being particularly limiting performance wise.

You will get more second hand, but it could save him the hassle of the search.

Sorry for butting in. I've always wondered why the triple chainring is seen as a negative? Just curious as I just ride fixed at the mo but am thinking of buying a road bike for longer hilly rides.

Yo Varno, I'm about to order a Miche/Pegasus rear wheel from your site. Can you include a 1/8" 18t sprocket with it :)
I'm going to have to order the front when I get more dough. Just out of interest is the dp18 silver front wheel on the other thread still knocking about?
Regards,
C.

Hi Varno, I've ordered at last! I've PM'd you too.
Cheers,

Hello All
Ive got a Neil Orrell track bike ..virtually unused (56.5cm square)triple triangle...its in a lovely Italian flamboyant blue with white lug lining. Nitto bars, dia compe clamp on front brake etc etc. I also have a brand new set of track wheels with brand new tubs glued on.(I was selling seperately)
Had it advertised on flea bay recently.. but just got inundated with silly questions from dreamers!!!!! Had it advertised for £550 (the frame cost nearly that!) ono..but didnt sell.
I desperately need the room in the garage as I cant use it (used probably for 20 miles on the road) due to injury.
If anyone in the Manchester fixed community was interested I could let it go for £500...and I would throw in the track wheelset gratis.
If you or anyone you know are interested please PM me with your number..I could give you the full spec and email some photos.
I need the room... its a beautiful bike..but I just cant use it :(
Cheers
Finchy

I love my Condor Pista but I'd sell it to get this.
Anyone fancy a Condor? £350 :)

I do fancy a tri-spoke. What are they going for these days ?

Ah bugger, false alarm. It turns out I have the RB002's (26.0 / 38mm) still up for offers if any of you are keen.

Sorry chaps!

I'm interested. How much did you want for them?

I have some BLB silver 38cm width, brand new unfitted £25 if you're interested.

Built this for Jess to relax on...

These are 40mm rear with machined 30mm front. on Miche.

This is the very set I want, but in silver, when I get some cash!
Is the rear hub fixed/fixed? I know you supply a 3/32 cog but could it be supplied with 1/8th?
Regards,
C

WANTED:

Cut down risers, or risers with short distance between rise so I can cut them down, with grips would be a bonus.

OR

Pursuit style bullhorns 40cm or narrower.

Aesthetic condition is completely unimportant, but must be structurally sound.

Also need a stem for 1 1/8 steerer 80-110mm, again, don't care what it looks like really as long as its sound.

PM'd

Interested in the clip on aero bars if you split. The Deda bits that is.

Still all the same spec?

The drummer's a mate of mine. Whoever buys the ticket be sure to shout out "The drummer's a c*nt" at the most inappropriate moment. I think he'd buzz off that

just explain the n + 1 rule...

are you in the Tri club, or just found route on their site?

Ha! I'll give it a try. I think buying a shed and a bike for her is the only way around it.
Not in the club but Dave Q invited me down for a couple of taster sessions at the Aquatics over the winter. I know him from swimming at dock 9. Hence I nose around on the forum sometimes.

The brickworks etc (Holy Trinity) are best done geared, or with a spinny gear and a large tub of HTFU.

Hmm I've been thinking about getting a nice classic road bike recently, something late 80's, none of this carbon nonsense. I fear another bike in the kitchen would set the misses off big time though.

My search for the perfect bullhorn continues!
As above. Brand new unfitted gold anodized b264aa for either rb001 or 2 or maybe the tokyo fixed version rb010. Preferably in chrome.
Oh, and the moon on a stick as well plz.
Thanks,
C.

did the second www.northerncoffeetour.co.UK ride today, great fun. more in future for sure...

Do you do this on a fixed?
I did the first bit, a route that I got off of the Man Tri forum.
Brickworks-Goyt valley- Cat and Fiddle-Bollington.
And it bloody killed me!

Although, I'll tell you what I want, what I REALLY really want. Some Nitto RB001/2 or even RB010. So would trade for any of those also. Thanks.

These are the cro mo version in excellent condition. I'm after 360mm ideally but 370/380 would be good. I'm in Manchester but come to London occasionally.

C.
