... Is there a cheap groupset I could purchase? ...Don't wish to spend a lot of money on it.

If you can handle friction shift instead of indexed life gets a lot cheaper! An old 7 speed mech will shift across a 7/8/9 speed cassette ( match chain to cassette). Friction bar end shifters are cheap, too.

My mate has a orange c'dale CAD1 M300 rigid bike, all stock parts and been abandoned in a shed for 7 years.
Needs new headset, stem, twist shifters are deteriorated and unusable, front mech seized, lost its starfangled nut, spring broken on front brake and needs new tyres, has no seatpost or saddle.
Frame, forks and wheels are solid though and he's asking for a casually paid £50
Was thinking of turning the rear wheel ss and using it for tow path/frolicking in grassy fields/woodlands fun.
Is this another stupid project leading me to a path of regret?

First attempt of the year with mid day traffic hold ups and about 10kg heavier than I was last summer. Not done under the hour before so now a big target for this year.

Last min call out for tomorrow (wed) 10:30 - 16:00 ish from/to Kingston. Anyone heading down this way/out from here?

I'm trying to purchase a beaten 'dale mtb off its owner. If I succeed I'm in!

Ahhh Roydon, my home for 20+ years before growing up and moving out. Would really have liked to come along but nay chance of getting out of work.

Does anyone know if the Richmond Park TTs are running again this year?

The only mention I can find is on
http://www.kingstonwheelers.co.uk/timetrialing.shtml

June the 22nd. Not sure what district this falls under but can't find a mention if it on ctt website, London south event list, or London west website which still has a blank page titled "London West District Time Trial Programme for 2013" for events.

Name on the list!

Definitely interested in this... However, my shorts are not. Time to upgrade my 3 year old £5 sports direct attire.

Currently got 20 on front and 25 on back (a Dolan alu frame turn TT experiment) I used to run 28 back 25 front when commuting.

There are plenty of other shops in the area. I've been using cyclopedia (a little bit out from Kingston in that vague Surbiton/Tolworth limbo) Well priced services and go the extra mile.

Condolences to you, Fishyonion, and to the rest of your family. RIP

Just one complete bike at the moment and 75% of a bike to be built.

Awesome amp! Don't be put off by the small watts, these are loud!

Crispy fried egg sandwiches made with proper butter.
Followed by a huge piece of bread pudding!

6 months in you'll stop getting achievements for your commute and you'll have to find a new way home with different segments to feed the addiction

This, and you start paying a lot more attention to Carol in the morning regarding wind direction and air temp...

Then call her a liar after you've uploaded.

finishes pie and chips
... And finished reading two season's worth of posts...so a very late Well done, Hippy!
I think I know what I'm doing with my Dolan road now... Cheap ass tt bike and give it a try next season (definitely kidding myself when I think I might have time to do training for track in the next 5 years... It rains every Saturday I book off work for beginners at HH And no track bike). So need a ctt affiliated club, time to catch up on this lfgss cc proposal!

I like the maximuscle viper boost bar, and the banana soreen.

Exactly same issue here. I was going to try the 1 prong hook spanner or a flathead & hammer. Let me know if you find one as I'll be stripping my bike down end of the month.

PM'd

Are all UN55 JIS fit? what length is this one, I cant make it out?

Thanks

My fathers bike has just been stolen from a village not too far from Epping:
LOOK 60cm Alloy frame with carbon rear end
Blue which fades to black in the middle of the alloy tubes then back to blue with white LOOK decals. Rear triangle solid blue. Seat tube has 3 stripes (Pale yellow, silver and red) around the bottle cage mount.
8 speed 105 flightdeck groupset
ITM Stem, alloy drops, black tape, Toe Clips and alloy pedals (not in picture)
He had the Garmin mount on the bars (but not the garmin attatched, thankfully) and there was a saddle bag of tools/tube/levers attatched.

Thanks!

Sorry for the poor photo but its all I have at the mo.

sold. Thanks!
