Used for one ride when I realised I'd bought and fitted a 12 speed chain and I run 11 speed, it was too tight on my narrow wide front chainring so couldn't be used. Still has the sticky grease from the packaging. Was £45 new. A little black ano wear on the inside links but front are like new. 126 links new but I've reduced it to 110, spares are included although in sections as I was experimenting with length before I realised my mistake.
£18 including tracked postage.

@joeae good info, cheers. Yes, it's certainly not high end but it's well made, the paint whilst a nice finish is masked a bit sloppily!

Absolutely faultless in operation, quiet and smooth fast shifts, great chainline on my bike with a wheels mfg bsa30 BB. Easily comparable in this respect to the Sram red 22 that it replaced. Seen a good few miles so far but still early days I guess.

Those Kore cantis are great 👍

Excellent.

Yes they are obviously Dirt Harry breaks.

What? Nobody has said 'breaks' yet?
Me, I'm happy to admit to going with form over function. I rarely use the coward levers anyway.

Agreed, that's why I sold up, released some much needed cash and bought some 22-year old bikes that give me just as much fun. Actually more fun.

The flatting of the seatstay to seatpost clamp area pre paintjob from memory was the worse, paint finsh was very average, a very underwhelming frame visually. A proper whippet to ride though, but absolutely not worth the money, I would have returned it if I could (long story).

I bought a new size L frameset direct about 3 years back. I nearly cried when I saw the quality of the finish when I unboxed it considering it was £2700. It still rode superbly though and at that price, it's a no brainer I'd say.
*ignore the bar angle, I'd just fitted that new Easton stem and was playing with the steerer height.

3 different purchases and 3 separate returns all processed and refunded as normal without any issues. Still not being nobs to me.

@kjlem @JamesQGM it's quite simple really, they are in a not so common 26mm clamp size, there's nothing wrong with them, I can't be arsed to change them when there's no reason to, they are (were) a top quality item back in the day, and well, I love them on my bike 👍

@Howard the black boot is original for the year and like new. I do have the original style clamps that are screwed up tight, yellow zip ties just a test at the moment. Jury's out.

@PhilDAS bars are era correct Ritchey WCS ergobars in 26mm flavour. They are staying for sure.

Finally, I don't feel that I can improve on this any more. It's done. It's perfect. It's just my opinion.

Squish is an excellent brand, easily as good as Islabikes and frog. My boys had a Squish 20 until recently. Decent spec and very light.

Sorted.

No.

That's my wife's. Nothing to do with me. I'm not allowed to touch it, apparently it cost a lot of money.

I've been a Cannondale fanboy for around 33 years now and for the last 23 I've been laughing at the fools riding these stupid forks. 2 months ago I was building up a £25 F2000 frame from stuff I had laying around, I didn't have forks though, but there were some lefties for sale locally for silly money. The rest, as they say is history. I'm sold. I love them.
*pic is genuinely from today's commute (the long way round).

My set up that I've had for years....
Rega planar 3 turntable that I bought from Mike Manning audio in Yeovil, Somerset in 1990.
The Marantz KI signature cd and amp I've had for around 20 years.
The lovely little AVI nuneutrons I've also had for a similar time.
Room design in our latest house dictates this less than ideal placement for now but I've tried to compensate with marble plinths on spikes.

That would be a problem between Evri and Wiggle ....

Well, from my recent experiences (I'm still happily using them issues free) and the replies on the wiggle thread, I can't see any problems yet. It's already in an Evri van on its way back.
