Thanks for feedback all.

@wwform i'm after a 55cm, which i think roughly translates to a medium/my 54cm bike with a slightly higher head tube. Let me PM you.

@callumj @Lampman @wwform

Thanks all for the feedback! If i can get my hands on one i'll take the plunge i think. My current bike has a pretty low front end, so i'm looking forward to opening up my lower back a bit.

Clearance wise - is it tight for tires that measure 25mm? ie. blow up to 25mm, or just 25mm on the label? My bike has clearance for 28mm's, but the tires actually balloon up to 30mm. I'd be keen to get some wide rims/wide tyres on there if possible.

I'm thinking of picking up a Super Aciaio in the near future - can someone weight in on what they're like/how they ride? I've not found an enormous amount written about them outside of the usual review channels.
Mainly interested in:
1) handling characteristic - i'm not after anything that handles super aggressively/twitchy. More interested in something a bit smoother.
2) riding characteristic - does it feel heavy/stiff/comfortable?

Thanks in advance!

edit it's the rim version i'm after

Thanks folks! Any takers at £900?

Thanks mate, I'll give this one a pass then. Cheers

Hi All,

After lots of umming and ahhing i've decided to flog my Lynskey.

Bought directly from lynskey in the states, handmade etc., its been used by me only, and has a few blemishes associated with use but nothing major. I've owned it for about 3 years, but haven't ridden it properly since last May, looking to get rid of it and buy something else. Steerer tube has been cut - can provide exact length if necessary.

It's been well looked after - washed regularly, never left in the wet, and has spent almost all of it's life sitting in the living room when not being ridden.

Included:
Frame
Fork
Kcnc seat post
Cane creek headset with custom low stack headset cover
Sram dub bottom bracket
J&L lightweight thru axles
Aluminium hardware for the cable guides

The good:
Good condition except for a few minor points
28mm tyre spacing but can take tyres inflated to 30mm
Plenty stiff and comfortable
No propietry BS - threaded BB, 27.2 seatpost, 1/18 stem

The bad:
Very very tiny ding on the toptube (see pictures)
Some rubbing from mudguard on the back of the fork
I tied a spare spoke to the seat tube, which has rubbed ever so slightly (see pics)

Now on ebay.

Collection proferred from N. London, but can travel to meet you providing it's central. Happy to post at buyers expense, and if i can source a bike box.

Any q's please ask, have plenty more photos available as well.

Not sure if this is the right place - thinking of buying a new steel frame - the front derailleur bolt has been overtightened and resulted in a dent. Is this safe? easy fix/worth fixing?

Aesthetic blasphemy.

Admittedly, the handling is a bit too nervous for my liking, and i'm keen for a change.

Kills my lower back! I'd ploughed on with it for 2 years because I was too stubborn to admit i'd bought the wrong size bike. A tiny bit less reach and a few cm more stack and it'd be perfect.
Lusting after either a full blown aero bike, or a nice rim brake Condor Super Aciaio. We'll see how much this one sells for first.

Think it's time to sell my beloved Lynskey. Going to try and flog the frameset at some point this summer if possible. It's a lovely thing but never fit quite right.

Lusted after an OM4 ti immediately after buying my F3. Potentially also interested in your Nikon lenses if you decide to get rid of them.

Moving to ebay tonight - slight price drops on some items.

Hi folks, having a clear out.

Dibs then DM por favor, collection in N.London (Islington/Kings Cross), or can post at buyers expense.

If prices are off let me know! Any questions, or if you want more detailed pictures, let me know.

Torm Baselayer (m)
Sportswool, used maybe 10 times. The white bit of the fabric has started to bobble, it started after the 5th time in the washing machine. Not too sure why, my other Torm items have done the same!
ebay

Torm Cap (L)
Sportswool again, perfect condition, just don't use it anymore.
ebay

Craft Arm/Leg Warmers (M)
Older model, different material used for different sections. Proper warm these, used down to -4 when I was too tight to buy tights.
ebay

Provis Gloves (L)
Unused, super reflective, waterproof (according to the label), just don't fit.
ebay

Castelli nano-flex arm warmers (L)
Used, not-abused. The rubber around the edges is still in good nick, but the lettering has started to crack.
ebay

Assos T.campionissimo S7 Bib Shorts (M)
Top of the line jobby from Assos, granted an older season. I bought two pairs of these as Assos fit my keester really well. Didn't end up using either of them that much... so these really have been used sparingly. Cleaned after every ride with approriate detergent and air dryed. These were babied all of their life and are in good nick. No nasties on the chamois either.
ebay

Rapha essentials case (L)
Barely used, no scuffs/wear on it, looks great. Will fit a modern size phone.
SOLD

Cheers!

Sorry mate, didn't mean to miss this. They're suspension corrected for a 26" wheel, 100/110mm suspension fork. I think the logic is, when you're cycling on normally on a suspension fork, it's slightly compressed, so these carbon forks are the same length as a slightly compressed suspension fork. That's my understanding

Thanks mate, I think the forks are suspension corrected for 110mm sus forks.
They are about as long as my suspension forks are when I'm pedalling, ie. compressed slightly, and I haven't noticed any massive change in truth be told.

Ah bummer, sounds like they really are that popular then?

The schwalbe Billy bonkers look really nice, I'm just concerned they won't be quite as fast on the flats as they're not slicks.

After much umming and aaahing, pulled the trigger on some exotic carbon forks for the Rock Lobster, as it's mainyl used for commuting at the moment. I'm itching to continue the upgrades but unsure of what the best next step.

Tempted by some Vittora Booze Light 2.3 tyres, slightly lighter than the current DTH and i think also more supple. Either that or some Schwalbe Billy Bonkers.

Any going? Preferrably in black.

Classy, want, don't need. GLWS.

Will take frameset if you're willing to split.

We're with Avro - currently unable to access/view out statements on the website. Presumably because everyone is online trying to do the same thing? Anyone experiencing anything similar?

Interesting, how much are you after?

Hi,

My hope brakes have clapped out. After a cheap disc brake setup to see me through. Nothing fancy, just has to work.

Ribble Endurance Slr frameset, decent or just another rebranded open mould frame I can get cheaper elsewhere?

Amazing - thank you! I think i have your payment details to cover it/make a donation?
