Double black spok stealth bike walking across Islington High Street this afternoon.

Yep, drop me a PM re-postage/pickup, still around.

Not found any off the peg at that size. Competitive Cyclist calculator seems to think a 59cm ST and 55TT and 100mm stem is around right, and from my riding position currently on a 58cmTT with an 80mm stem, I'd say it's about right.

Yeah I know, that and back problems = shitty sizing. Running an 80mm stem at the moment but would be nice to have a properly proportioned stem for once.

Might give it a go, can probably go to 58cm but I run a front brake so if it was NJS vs custom, I'd rather go with a Rychtarski depending on price.

How much are Rychtarski charging for a track F+F? Very tempted as if I get a 55cm top tube and 60cm seat tube I can have a properly sized stem.....

Probably around £20 to post the frame, maybe £15 depending on the postage gods

Likely putting stuff on eBay very soon, some price drops for now

Got a frame on here that might do it - http://www.lfgss.com/thread129850.html

Probably, you can most likely keep next to the canal and avoid all hill climbing, pretty darned flat.

We stuck to the roads pretty much, they're totally rideable, lots of coaches but much better than the Inverness - John 'o Groats road.

We did it as part of LEJOG, did it on Specialised Sirrus, stayed at Loch Lomond and went up to Inverness IIRC.

The Glen itself isn't too hilly, undulating but it's along a canal which was pretty nice. Road has LOTS of coaches on it which is a bitch, bit of a climb up to the SAS? memorial but worth it for the view. Not a clue about the cycle path but you'd probably be able to do it fixed.

Edit 1 - Also, Loch Lomond youth hostel is REALLY lovely, huge manor house, massive kitchen, gorgeous. Bit of a climb up into the highlands from there. (I think I might have missed a day out somewhere though, we may have done Loch Lomond-Fort William-Inverness but not sure.)

Edit 2 - AH! That was it, we stayed at the Ben Nevis youth hostel after Loch Lomond! Was again lovely and a bit out of the way, very lovely place.

Fucking hell that's a lovely build! What're the bars on it?

Holy shit batman! Just realised I have to buy bedding shit for the apartment in London, so further price drops. Can bring all stuff down to London with me on the 4th also.

Touring wheelset prov sold pending delivery/payment.

Yep, 10 speed compatible. Rim width is 23mm and the braking surface is in fab condition, absolutely tons of life left, they've only really been ridden on LEJOG so as you can see from the picture, the wear indicator (the groove in the rim) is near enough untouched.

Just come back from holiday, now need to claw back some funds for London living for six weeks, so everything back up for sale with price drops.

Reading Charles Stross' new book, the Rhesus Chart.

Still as excellent as his other stuff already, apparently this one is about investigating occult lovecrafty shit in the banking world.

Road wheelset sold, off to the post office in about two hours or so, after that thread closed until three weeks later so if you really want anything get in touch asap.

Chrome shoes and Bullhorns sold, first post updated.

Don't think you're able to accept pm's, drop me an email at nabeshin773(at)Gmail(dot)com

STUFF CONSOLIDATED TO NEW THREAD.

Off on holiday on Tuesday evening, so from then the thread will be on a temporary hiatus and eBay'd/put back up when I'm back.

Click pictures for linkage to the albums with more pictures in.

Looking for superfast sales on this stuff, so no price dropping up to Tuesday, offers will be taken on items but just don't take the mickey. Dibs then PM, preference given to local pickup in Manchester and cash is always king. Prices don't include postage.

1. Torelli Bormio road wheelset - SOLD
   
   

Didn't manage to shift these on here, so they're back, tyres not included - 1620 grams per pair
430 gram rims, for low moment of inertia
Bladed aero Pillar Sandvik stainless steel spokes
Front 20 radial, 24 rear radial non-drive/2 cross drive side
Traditional "J" spoke for easy maintenance

No skewers, very low milage, braking surface is in incredibly good nick, both wheels are gritty due to riding in some grim weather but take sealed bearings so will be incredibly easy/cheap to service or get new bearings for at the worst.

1. Touring wheelset - £30 PROV SOLD
   
   

36 hole, wide rims, unknown hubs, good strong wheelset with tyres included. Mate did LEJOG on them and they were absolutely fab.

1. 58cm steel road frame - £30
   
   

Bit reluctant to part with this, first bike my old boss brazed up, not sure on the tubing, 58cm seat tube, powdercoated green, doesn't include forks. Takes either 27/27.2 seatpost, 1" steerer, 8cm headtube.

1. Pair Carradice Super C Rear Panniers - £70
   
   

Completely new, comes with all gubbins, awesome panniers - http://www.carradice.co.uk/index.php?page_id=product&under=range&url=supercrear

1. Oxford Rear Panniers - £20
   
   

Used them for half LEJOG, use saddlebags now, bit battered but working fine.

1. Airwing Bullhorns (40cm width, 26mm clamp) - SOLD
   
   

Clamp area scuffed but bars in good condition.

1. Chrome Kursk Pro SPD Black Size US12 - SOLD
   
   

Used a fair bit, see pictures for scuffing/wear, still riding absolutely fine, just got myself a pair of Shimano shoes which I'm using at the mo, so these are surplus to requirements.

Would you be willing to spit the seatpost? If so prov dibs pending pics/size.

I've got two of these for Birthday/Christmas from Magma in Manchester, absolutely sweet prints! Still need to find a frame for the Jersey print.

Gorgeous!

Fair enough, depends what you want really. If you fancy a faux low pro, then the MASH or LOW// are good ones to copy.

If you want horizontal/more traditional geo, then maybe copy dolan/track champ geo? If you want a horiztonal top tube, just find a geo online for a track bike that fits similar to how you'd want it to and get them to copy it. Dosnoventa would do, but from what I've seen on here, head tube angles seem to be a bit slack.

If you don't know what sort of sizes/top tubes you'd be looking for, this is a pretty good place to start to give you an idea in terms of sizing - Bike Fit
