also have a load of repairable inner tubes if they're of any use to anyone, https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/371394/

I bought this with the intention of hanging on to for years and keeping mint as it was the last Cinelli made mash. Hoped to sell to a Japanese investor for £1m in a few years but my girlfriend is not seeing the potential and not happy about bikes in the flat. So having to sell :(
Used a total of about 6 miles maybe?
It’s pretty much as it was from the shop.
Totally original and bought as the complete bike. Comes with the manual.
Can’t be many left like this.
I’m in Brighton, needs to be collect only and cash on collection when you have seen the bike and happy it’s all as expected.
£1250

But they have repairable punctures.
Almost all are 700c and have small punctures which could be repaired. I never repair them just replace the tube hence having so many.
£15 the lot plus postage or can do smaller amounts plus postage if preferred. Collect in Brighton area would be good too if you’re local.

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
£100 and can drop off locally if needed.

Some free junk if anyone wants it before it goes to the tip.
The drill and forks have been in a shed and the other stuff has been left on the balcony and got rained on. Giant Ai bars, syntace tri bars, couple of bottle cages. Although it’s grubby it’s still sound, just needs a clean. Drill works it’s just a basic old black and decker drill.
Tyres are 700c 35 and 38. Both Kenda I think.
All free as it’s so rubbish

You would be surprised it’s quite easy to introduce bubbles.
Another way you can do it is to pour it slowly from a height in to the mold, like a long thread, the idea is that it is so long and thin that it breaks any bubbles. Does away with the vacuum chamber too.
Also might be worth considering painting the first layer on, very thinly then pouring over that. The bubbles only matter on the face of the object so it doesn’t translate when you cast things.
What ever you choose to do, it’s worth thinking it through several times, it seems like an easy way to duplicate things but it’s easy to make a mistake or not anticipate how it will work out when you go to cast things. For instance, I made a cast from a human skull and it looks good, but the top of the mold is where the face and scalp is, so all the little bubbles show up in the face and top of the head, whereas the underside is perfect, and that bit doesn’t matter…
-
Yeah you mix up your pot of silicone and vacuum all the bubbles out, you would be surprised how much air is in the mix.
Once it’s all stopped bubbling up and gone flat you take it out and carefully pour in to the mold at a corner, allowing it to fill up and cover the object your making a mold of. There are lots of videos on YouTube

This is it, made from a dehumidifier for the vacuum pump and a co2 bottle for the chamber with a 10mm thick bit of polycarbonate on top as a window. Quite home brew but did the job for about 20ltr of silicone, 1ltr at a time. Was looking about £35 + post. It packs up quite neatly in to the bottle so doesn’t take up much space.
-
Made a pour mould a couple times, used a lot more silicone than anticipated and probably unnecessarily. Ended up being quite costly. Worth planning it out and really thinking about it.
I am selling my vacuum chamber I used to suck the bubbles out of the silicone if it’s of interest.
What are you making?

I started making these light fittings as a quick project a few years ago but it spiralled in to a big project that I over engineered and was going to do full time. But other things got in the way, it got over complicated, I got stressed out with it, lost my mojo and never came to fruition. But I will probably pick it up again in the future.
I designed some ceiling roses to go with these and that’s where it got complicated. I made the ceiling rose to be as minimal as possible and allow you to fit it with minimum effort, as the main shade is a bit tricky to fit as they’re all enclosed and fairly large.
The ceiling rose was very small, had everything inside and complied with regs, functioned in various ways but required so much work to make it look so minimal and retain function.
Having fitted a few without the ceiling rose it’s possible to do without it but the full set up looked better and had a suspension wire rather than relying on the power cable to hold it up.
I had a couple of prototype shades in a cupboard so made use of them and hung up in the communal hallway. Neighbour text me that evening saying he wants one for his flat so that was encouraging.
Anyway here’s some crappy phone pics

I have a 2017 mash parallax cyanotype, essentially brand new, complete bike. I bought as a speculative thing as its the last cinelli mash but my girlfriend is giving me a huge amount of grief over bikes in the flat. I don't personally see the issue and don't really want to sell it but this and other bikes are causing much friction.
anyone be interested before it goes on eBay, its the complete bike, as below, 54cm. its essentially new, only ridden it a tiny amount. I wont be splitting before anyone asks.

all different sizes, lengths of the valves vary and different width tubes. only constant is 700c.
