recycling boxes, the type you put glass in are perfect size for records (our local ones are at least). I know someone who has thousands of records and had to move house, he just bundled them in to a pile of about 100 or so, wrapped them in a bin liner and parcel tape.

brillo pad, the wire wool with soap will clean that up in no time. looks like its only on the surface so shouldn't be any real issue with the integrity of the spoke

anyone want these before they go in the bin? can be had free if you can collect or can post. will be going to the dump tomorrow with loads of other junk and handle bars etc. pm me if you would like

Anyone want this Tiagra lever for a fiver/free/karma? https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/373178/

Probably good for a beater, it is just floating about in my spares box and I’ll never use it. Front is scuffed and the inner lever doesn’t spring back. Although if you have a gear cable in there the gears appear to click through ok.

I have not used this but it appears to be working in terms of shifting gear and obviously be alright for braking. So I can’t guarantee it but it appears to be functioning. Comes with box and cables.

£10 posted sound fair?

I had a desede sofa up until recently which was low back but was very comfy. That sucker was good money but saw it more as an investment, therefore justified. In the same way that more bikes are justified in one way or another

there seems to be a trade off with seating, the better they look the more expensive they are and equally increase in discomfort.

we have two low back sofas, they look great but only comfortable if laying down, sitting does nothing much for comfort

we have a small electrical business on our road, which for some reason just have bought 3 of these ford rangers as company cars. can see why now if theres a tax break. there is one currently double parked blocking in 3 cars.

if it has a kink or a crack then it is too far gone but if not it can be trued. I've trued up wheels that were like Pringles back in the day when doing trails riding and they were fine.

if you have ever built a wheel you will find it will start out massively out of true, just a matter of getting it all inline. you may only have a couple of loose spokes causing it to be 2cm out.

For Pearl you want a white base, Pearl coat (this bit is the hard part to get even so I’m told) then lacquer.

I would fit forks that are made specifically to take a motor of some kind. Those forks look cosmetically suitable but no more.

If the forks go you are liable to getting the worst kind of injuries. You really want to get it right.

Ideally you would want something like this in the rear wheel I would have thought. Power goes to the rear of a motorbike for example so I would want to replicate that.

Something you may want to look at is a thing called a cycle master. Which is an old fashioned version of this with an engine in the wheel that would be retrofitted. There may be recommendations floating around to make the bike stronger or what is actually needed to stop the frame from failing when fitting a motorised wheel.

I’m just thinking aloud here but to be honest these switch bike things look like a death trap on the front wheel, I can’t believe they sell them in this way to be honest. Selling them for bikes specifically not made to have a motor seems crazy to be.

I’ve never got less than £500 for even the crappiest full carbon bikes, you could get at least £600+ I would have thought

theres a bloke on retro rides ripping you off mate, pinching your photos and everything, go sort him out!

its just a spring, if it fits it will do the job

this happened a few years ago, https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/sep/18/cyclist-charlie-alliston-jailed-for-18-months-over-death-of-pedestrian

.

very nice, out of interest, where did you get the toe strap buckles from? I couldnt find a supplier after months of searching when I wanted them.

did you ever chop up the Ali express seat post and test it? that would make for interesting reading (for me at least)

Yeah just double checked and it is jis

Didn’t realise sorry!

Yeah I expect so, it’s for a bmx and they’re typically 1.75” which is approx 45mm so should easily clear it

Yeah it is, I bought it like this and never got round to putting it round the right way

Got these bits I need to sell if anyone is interested. if you think my prices are off and want to buy just drop an offer. can post or collect in Brighton

Campagnolo 42t chain ring with little wear £10
Old bmx brake with Kool stop pads £10

My old Saracen race elite with raised chain stays, not used in years and just been sat under the stairs.

Needs a clean, headset ideally needs strip and clean as it’s a bit stiffer than ideal. Wire brush and some oil on the chain as it has surface rust. One flat tyre.

Other than that it’s pretty good. This was my main bike for years before I got in to road bikes. All original except for DMR v8 pedals and early morevelo sticker, Shimano Altus gears and brakes, Mavic black anodised rims.

Only selling like this as I’m slim on time and clearing loads of stuff out. Could sort it out and make 100% usable and clean for £30 or so but it’s easy work for anyone to do in an afternoon at the most.

Off the top of my head it’s a 19” frame
