Your bouldering vid is good though, well worth the wait and made me actual real LOL.
+1. Good work there.
-
Some silly sod had an accident, so I have to move out of the way? Are those the rules now?
-
Just reported some cunt in an ambulance for variously passing too close, getting behind me when riding in primary and beeping his horn, yelling at me out of his window at traffic lights and then punishing me with a close pass. Holloway Road this morning. If you see an ambulance with the license YX11 HVG then steer well clear. I saw him do similar to every cyclist from Upper Holloway to Liverpool Road. Total asshole.
Trying to figure out how to complain to the ambulance service itself, but am coming up blank for who to contact to complain if you're not an angry patient.
-
Yep. Cheers for the bits, Nick. Have a bump from me too...
-
Dibs bars/grips/stem if you split...
-
I'll take the cross top. Will PM later when I'm not at my stupid work...
-
Will take the dirty harry and the 11-25 105 cassette, will PM now...
-
Dibs on the nitto risers. PM on its way.
-
Oooh trial rides. Yeah. Get you now.
Yes. Fine to come round and have a spin. Just drop me a pm to arrange a time and day.
-
Cheers Vince - I've dropped Velocio a PM.
greatvalerio - based in North London - Archway ways. Not doing trial rides - just wanted something fast and fun to muck about on.

BACK UP FOR SALE
This needs to go - I don't ride it, it just sits there being beautiful. And now I'm moving house and space is at a premium. So beautiful objects can do one.
I've had almost bugger all time to ride it, so it's basically in the exact same condition as I bought it. I swapped out the yellow bar tape for black. I still have the yellow tape, so if you'd prefer that I can stick it back on for you. There's also some metal clips and black leather straps on the pedals now.

Given that it hasn't really gone anywhere in the meantime, I'd like to get back what I paid for it - a bargainous £̶2̶8̶0̶ SOLD£270SOLD.What it looked like when I bought it:
-
How has this not sold yet? I would've snapped this up if I weren't a shortarse...
-
Didn't Larry David invent this already?
-
It's beautiful and yellow. Want.

After months of lurking I decided I should probably say something.
How about: “enjoy the 2020 coronavirus pandemic everyone!”

London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of predominantly fixed gear and single-speed cyclists in and around London, UK.
This site is supported almost exclusively by donations. Please consider donating a small amount regularly.
Shifting a few things as have more need for money than for the things.
1 - Crank Bros Candy 3 pedals, in box (not BNIB), with cleats
Came off a bike I bought, but I ride SPDs and I can't be faffed with change. Guy said that he'd only ridden then about 50 miles. Bearings are fine, pedals have a couple of scrapes and marks from clipping in as you'd expect, but all in all they look damn good. Cleats are still sealed in bag and have never been used. £̶5̶5̶ £̶5̶0̶ £̶4̶5̶ £40
2 - Wellgo plastic pedals with plastic clips
These were brand new in their shrinkwrap - only took them out to take photos of them. Never even been near a bike. Dunno what size the toe-clips are, I suppose I could stick a shoe in there and hazard a guess if anyone's interested. SOLD£7SOLD.
3 - Profile Airwing, 42cm OS clamp
Have a bit of tape residue on them, and have a bit of scrawpage and scratching in the clamp area. SOLD£10SOLD.
4 - TA specialites chainring, 5 hole, 9/10 speed, 44 tooth, black, 130pcd
In packaging, never fitted. £̶1̶5̶ £̶1̶2̶ SOLD£10SOLD
5 - No name 1 1/8 stem, 110mm, black
Came off a Giant Bowery about 4 years ago, ridden about 50 miles and then sat in a drawer pretty much ever since. SOLD£5SOLD
Collection from Moorgate during the day or from Archway in the evenings. Can post for free if you don't mind it being completely untrackable (I'd throw it in my work's postbox and that would be the last I would know of it) or am willing to post at cost if you want a bit more security.
Apologies for the crappy photos. My camera is old and shit, and I am an idiot. It's a bad combination.
