thanks! I was going for the trippy balls vibe

to be honest, this subsection on here for photography has been more inspirational than Flickr, 500px or anywhere else, for me at least. it got me back in to gear for using my camera again.

Flickr is big and easy though, still good.

No problem, thanks any way. Luckily for me, it fits rather well for a change

Some more pics

I personally like high end steel frames with a bit of wear to them, I would look for one like that over a pristine example any day.

yeah that's possible, the saddle wouldn't have been original either so that would figure a few upgrades may have happened

it is on the rear but not the front, it's only just started to go, from my experience it doesn't take much for it to wear. considering the tyres, I'm pretty sure are original and theres still the mould seam through the middle, it won't have had a lot of use. plus the front chain rings don't appear to have much wear, or the hoods.

hi, I dont but will take some tomorrow after work and put them up

Yep, 56cm/22". That from the centre of the head tube to centre of the seat tube.

And 23.5" for the seat tube. Centre of BB to top of the seat tube.

A.S Gillott road bike.

25" 653 Reynolds frame made by Mark Joynt who it turns out is Mark Reilly, for some reason he changed his name but is the same bloke from omega and enigma who has now set up as Reilly cycle works.

It has a complete Shimano 105 groupset fitted from around late 90s era. So hubs, pedals crankset, headset, gears and brakes are all matching 105. Stem and bars are Cinelli. Turbo saddle.

Wheels are Mavic ma40 with stainless spokes and 105 hubs.

All running really nicely and super smooth.

When I bought it it was in a bit of a state, the chrome chain stays we're rusty and when I tried to clean them up the chrome flaked off. So I have them as polished bare metal and have sealed it up with auto sol polish, which has kept any rust at bay. The drop outs are chrome still and the chrome forks are good too. Just for some reason the chain stays didn't last.

The red paint looks dirty up close, it appears to be stains. I think this bike was laid up for years unloved so has cosmetic marks as a result.

Lovely to ride now though!

Tyres are Hutchinsons, they're the old tyres, which are usable and I have been using for a while now. Really could do with replacing though.

£250

Frame is 25" seat tube and 23" top tube. So it's a biggun!

I am in Brighton, won't be dropping in London or posting but can bring to Brighton train station which is 50mins from London Victoria.

Fausto coppi Torino, aluminium frame steel forks, sora group set, rigida rims, itm stem, bars and seat post, sells itallia saddle.

Fairly basic but rides really nicely and pretty fast. Would make a good deliveroo or fast commuter bike. I just use it for blasting about on.

23" seat tube 22" top tube.

£220.

I'm in Brighton, can bring to Brighton train station which is 50 mins from London Victoria.

Koga Miyata Prologue. £200

It's from the mid 90s, Dutch import, one of those bikes that have spent about 10seconds on the road and the rest of the time in the shed.

It is pretty clean but does have marks associated with having been sat around for a long time unused such as small spots of rust around lugs and superficial scratches.

I don't think it has had much use as it looks like it's on the original tyres and there's hardly any wear to the anodised rims.

Has shimano 500ex groupset. Wolber tx profil rims and wolber tyres. San Marco rolls saddle. Koga fm1 frame tubing and hm2 forks.

23.5" seat tube, 22" top tube.

Rides nicely and is all ready to be used.

I am in Brighton, not in London, I'm not dropping it in London either but can bring to the train station here which is 50min from London Victoria.

same sized front and rear are effectively a neutral gear. thats how they work on electric bikes, they go in to that gear when you're not moving. neutral

I've got one of these, unfortunately it was painted black, still nice nonetheless

I have some, bought a bike from the guy and he gave me a couple of bottles free. good stuff, would buy more

I just edited the jpeg on this. can explain what was done if anyone's interested

those derailleurs often unwind when the chain is taken off. they appear to have no tension but just need to be wound once in the right direction. they don't have a tab holding them in the right place so just unwind and go floppy.

Steel is made to be bent. If there are no cracks then just enjoy your new found geometry.

If it's aluminium then bin it

I personally wouldn't worry about it if it looks sound. Just keep an eye on it

considered converting an old road bike? its an easy thing to do and the results can be pretty good if done tastefully

I heard there were a few b grades found in Nike outlets as well

Both Instax cameras are available still and most of the stuff on the previous page. Shoot me an offer I'm not looking for much, just clearing out
