Fair enough, thought I'd mention it. If you ever want to give it a go let me know, also sheldon has a decent introduction to tandem cycling http://sheldonbrown.com/tandem.html

No spare bike, but I have a tandem...? It works as a single speed, need to get a new wheel sorted that'd accept gears. Might take a little getting used to, give me a shout if you're interested? I'll only be back from college at 4 though, could be a little late.

Hey, selling my electric guitar for £70, nothing too special but decent for the price, had some work done on it so it is much better than something from a factory. Will throw in a bag and strap too, also some spare strings.

Selling my beater too, some good parts. Only issues are; pads are pretty worn, non-driveside crank has stripped threads, and the chainline isn't quite perfect (nothing too bad though). Also the front wheel isn't quite true. Even so I think it's worth a decent £200 as there are good parts on it, and it works nicely. Tell me if i'm being ridiculous.

looks good, found them for £40 on ebay BIN so i'm saving money all over the place... reckon I could put a tentative dibs whilst I work out my budget? I'm going to centre parcs this weekend so my funds are a bit low.

don't suppose you have or can suggest some black cranks I could put with that chainring? I'm in the market but I wouldn't want to buy the chainring until I had some cranks. Cheers mate

lucky 4th dibs on those cranks

Ok, building a new fixie to replace my beater, pretty much the last thing is some cranks as I changed my mind about some others. Looking for something black, 165mm (spintastic) and to fit a square taper bb (I think it's JIS). Budget wise, I'm a little pressed.... £50 absolute max, and they'd have to be well worth it. Including postage to cambs as well, sorry. Cheers xx

alu can just be left bare can't it? It would dull a little but essentially be fine (I think)

hmm I can't pm him, I'll see if he replies on that thread. In the meantime, I've found a decent front wheel in my garage. So I'm looking for a rear fixed wheel now, budget of say £70ish, black rim to match the front better. cheers

Anybody have an ahead stem for a 1 1/8 steerer and 25.4 clamp for sale? Cheers

I have some charge dish wheels as new but in white...

Hey, can't pm you but may be interested, got any pics? I also need postage to cambridge. Cheers

Sorry not sure how to sort this out into a decent hyperlink/pic. It is a 60cm carlton corsa, seems a decent deal to me.

Hi guys, looking for some 700c wheels in as good condition as possible. Preferably white rims, but black would work as well if they're particularly nice. My budget is around £100 give or take (including postage to cambridge). I do want braking surfaces. No gristly hubs please, I can't be bothered with the hassle. Thanks.

Need some 1 1/8" track forks (drilled for a brake) for a new build. I've never actually fitted forks myself (nooob)... I'm not too bothered whether they're threaded or threadless as I have no headset yet, but if threadless I may need some advice on steerer length and choosing a headset. Budget of £50ish posted. This is the info on the frame I was given: "Head tube size 11/8th Integral 36x45". Not too sure what the integral part means either tbh.
Cheers

+1 for photos of the wheels

I have a new sealed unit bottom bracket lying around (square taper). £13 posted?

not sure if you can see from this pic but it also has vertical dropouts, there is no chain tension at all. I'll see about a better pic but I don't see him that often, and I wouldn't want people to think I liked it. I told him to give the poor thing brakes and gears but he wont have any of it.

Mate of mine just built this.... He's pretty proud of it, I'm disgusted at what he's managed to do to a great frame.

FORT - £155 BIN - London

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fort-Steel-Vintage-Track-Singlespeed-Frameset-54cm-/280895142108?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item4166a7b8dc

Re this: messaged them and they say they'll accept £100... still a bit high?

With the right size stem, seatpost and amount of spacers you could fit on most spaller frames, and this one isnt all that small.

I dont think its worth £155+. Reynolds, BS. Cant even be 753 or 531 like he guesses, because it's welded. It might not even be a fort, although it does look like one. If it is a fort its likely just fairly standard Tange tubing.

Yeah true, thanks. Might see if I can find an aluminium one somewhere instead, or send him an offer for a bit less

Tempted by that Fort bike; could be a bit small though, reckon a 5'10'' bloke could squeeze onto that?
Toptube c to c 54cm
Seat tube c to top 55cm
Steerer 122mm

damn, that gazelle is just about what I'm looking for, pity my wallet can't see it happening

Dibs pending pics on the airwings and bar end levers; pm coming

ah mate thanks for the offer but I just bought some of those muddy fox ones; not sure what to do about cleats though, so if you could help with that that'd be grand. Otherwise I'm set as soon as pedals arrive in the post.

Don't suppose you have the top tube length? possibly interested, would need postage though
