Price drop on the wheels and stem/bar

Pedals and cages have gone i'm afraid

Stem and aero bars possibly gone - price drop on the wheelset.

Updates and a wheelset!

@user58961 hey man - dropped you a PM

You can't I don't think - at least not when I asked.

I've got a 75-76 saddle height right now...so bang in the middle. I put my leg over a Small in a rapha and it feels like a teeny bike so my gut says stick with the medium.

Frankly I should just stump up for a bike fit...

Is the seat and head tube angle the same on both frames? What is the actual difference in stack and reach? How much saddle set back do you have? Will you have toe overlap on be smaller frame? Etc, etc, etc, etc.

I had a play around with the geometry on sketchup and with some nominal guess work around the centre of the bars they look pretty similar even without spacers. The smaller size has a longer stem to achieve an almost identical 58-59cm reach which is what I've always felt best with.

Having said all that - Canyon suggested a wait time 3-4 weeks for a small and the need to charge me again for the exchange and then retrospectively refund me for the medium once they're happy it is 'new' condition. Bit of a pain in the arse really...

Massive drop is good for instagram likes

Hold on, isn't this the main point?

Seriously though, I'm not racing, but just like to go for a few hours and test myself.

My feeling is I should drop down a size as with spacers and a longer stem I can have almost the same reach/drop - it just comes with the added flexibility of getting 'more pro' should I want to particularly as my flexibility should increase.

Canyon owners, I have a question. I've just purchased an ultimate disc in size a medium. It's arrived (not hassle free) and is built up with a 100mm stem/handlebar combo and looks darn-right snazzy.

I'm 178cm tall, with a roughly 86cm inseam (so roughly 76cm saddle to centre of the bb). To fit me and give me a decent position I've dropped the stem below all the spacers which gives me a c.10-11cm drop from saddle to bars and a relaxed reach.

Generally it all feels pretty comfy and racy enough for someone who is not very flexible but I have come off a steel frame with a c.15-16cm drop.

However, am I being dumb - should I exchange it for a small frame (plus longer stem) to allow me to increase the drop and therefore my position overtime? When standing over the frame I've not got a huge amount of room as these are surprisingly big frames.

Anyone with sizing experience would really help! Many thanks!

I've actually got two pairs! I'll try and send you a picture of the second.

Also - I've got a free keirin helment up for grabs. Just a novelty item - but apparently it's not appropriate to keep it any longer...

UPDATE Few bits left.

Collection from N5 near Highbury Fields or Warren Street - I can post if necessary.

Cinelli Criterium - £20 - NOW £10

Cinelli Stem (1A maybe), good drop probably c.115mm long - £25 - NOW £5 or £15 with the bar

Miche Primato Hubs laced to Mavic Rims, front wheel has a wee bit of brake rub, bearings are alright and they're pretty straight, tubs hold air, bit mucky and there is a cog on it - **£65 -
NOW £40 **

Free skis and boots. Head carver skis - 165cm tall in pretty good condition - head cyber x25
Boots are size 9.5

N5 collection - let me know i can just leave outside the house for someone to collect

A wee bit random - but does anyone have/know of some victorian shutter for sale? I've got a bit bay window which needs some - so on the off chance and at a non-extortionate/I saw you coming price?

Thanks in advance!

Hey chaps (or ladies)

Thanks for the messages, I'll pop some PMs your way.

Good point.

Any material, solid forks, any brakes and anywhere from 16-18in. Not too specific.

Essentially one of those basic, but light, 90s mtb frames if at all possible.

Someone must have one kicking about!

Hello everyone - I wondered if anyone happened to have an old light bike kicking around. Doesn't have to be in good nick - but as superlight as possible.

Many thanks in advance

Got this off someone else on the forum a few years ago as a novelty item.

Apparently i'm no longer of the age of having novelty items on shelves which i think are cool so free to a good home!

Collect from N5 or can bring to Euston during the week.

Are the nikes still available? - dropped you a PM

Thank you for the pm's so far.

Still after some tyres if anyone has a reasonable one (or two) sat around? Shoes as well

Thanks again

Hello all

Following a recent tyre implosion i'm in need of a new one, as well as an extended seatpost and if per chance, anyone has any aluminium 16in rims or wheels i'd be very interested.

I'm also looking to try out using clipless pedals (not on a brompton) - but before i splurge on a nice pair, i thought i'd get used to them/see if i like them by buying a used pair of someone else's. I'm a size 10 but can squeeze into 9s. So if anyone has any nackered ones kicking around - do let me know.

I'm willing to part with many moneys.

Many thanks in advance

Thanks Scilly - managed to find one locally though, but thank you again anyhow.

Hello

Has anyone per chance got a clip type thing as per this:

http://www.starcyclespares.co.uk/replacement-bike-saddle-clip-seat-post-clamp-bracket-silver-3121-p.asp

I need it for an old seat post - i'm in E1 and can come and collect nearby tonight! And pay a few beer tokens

Stellar chap - thanks @nohwolf

Ordered a couple - but was too stingy to pay for expedited postage and i'm not sure they'll arrive in time for a ride tomorrow.

Anyone got a spare tub sat around for sales? Ideally one that holds air!
