yeah fair enough i thought it might be ott. i probably have some rusty steel rim out on my balcony if thats any help, although that might be too far the other way.

it would have to be about £40 but i could drop it off to you potentially tomorrow after work, i have to nip to hove and then back through town so possible ill be passing by where ever you may be. thats if you want it of course.

^^^ i have a campag hub mavic box rim wheel with campag cassette, from late 80s and used about 100 miles if that, really nice condition if that suits?

i am after a pair of road calipers, just for a beater bike on an orbea aluminium frame, so modernish but dont need to be anything special, just usable

aye, not ideal, thanks for keeping them peeled.

My friend had her colleagues bike (2014 boardman comp cx in blue/black) stolen, she was borrowing it, i had told her to get rid of the rubbish lock as it will get stolen...

borrowed bike stolen, told about the crappy lock, old enough to know better, lots awkward silences at work today...

was taken from Sussex university campus (lent it out to her husband who had a job there so its even more awkward).

if anyone notices it, please could you drop me a line, it looks the same as the pic below, the only distinguishing features that i recall are wear marks around the seat tube/top tube/seat stays where the lock had been kept.

My friend had her bike (read that as colleagues bike which she was borrowing) stolen from Sussex University campus the other day. I wouldnt be surprised if it was stolen and taken up to London, i have heard a few times this is what happens around here.

its a boardman comp CX bike, similar to the one in the pic. the only identifying thing that i recall is that the lock was wrapped around the seatpost/top tube/seat stays, so there are some wear marks around there.

if it crops up please could you drop me a pm, would really appreciate it.

freedom bikes on George street are always good for getting odd parts off with no messing about, just go in and they usually will do it there and then. i dont often get stuck but when i do i see those guys. never costs more than £5 either, thats for getting off odd fitting cassettes and stuck in BB etc

got an old peugeot frame with headset, mafac brakes and BB, no forks though.

its sky blue with orange decals, only asking £15 for it. i think its 23"

yeah its too small for me as well unfortunately although i do ride it occasionally. always get a comment on it from random dog walkers too strangely

its got a 70s vibe to me but i am not that knowledgeable on the particulars of these bikes.

wouldnt have thought it is 50s tbh

still around though and would like to rehome this trusty old bike

forks unfortunately look bent to me.

wall art from this day forth

open to offers on this

you could use those old derailleur hangers with a newer derailleur easy enough, theyre just screwed in or held with a circlip.

i would put a big washer in between the faces just to help with the gaps in the different dropout shape etc

ebay them with the spokes, there will be someone out there with a good rim and missing the other bits

sold

its still here, waiting to be loved...

£350, would be nice to move it on

new tube i would say, 531 is hard as hell to weld, 531c would be harder, so i would rule out welding and go for the new choob.

nice one, never noticed that.

probably worth noting in that case that most of the 'flite' logo has worn off

used and wear marks as can be seen in the picture but no holes or tears.

I am in Brighton so can collect or i will post. £30 posted £25 collect.

if its just plastic couldnt you (carefully) melt it out with petrol or something else that will eat away at it?

dunno what model they are to be honest i just grabbed a pair and slung them on. its not worth thinking too much about. they stop punctures and grip well enough. i hammer the shit out of mine and theyve proven to be good all round tyres.

i would change the tyre because of the reason already stated... theyre white//

stick it on the back, all that will happen is the tyre will go flat and youre maybe a bit stranded and have to walk home.

i personally use gatorskins and slime tubes on my hack bike, as i ride on an undercliff a lot and theres flint everywhere. no flats yet. also use continental ultra sport tyres on another bike for the same run probably many hundreds of miles now and never got a flat yet with them either.

i would change the tyre but not because of that little split

i can do you a bulk amount of outer cable as i have a massive roll which i use. its got a teflon inner core and is unbranded but good stuff none the less.

can send you 20m for £15 if you like. should sort you out for quite a few bikes. can do more or less than that if needed

seriously, thats the edge of a weld. not a crack
