Had no idea this thread existed, but adding Thrust for a remarkably easy transaction, despite my split payment and him being in Sweden. Canelli frame perfectly packaged and received in Norwich within a week. Plenty of pictures provided, condition precisely as described, and all conducted with a friendly disposition and great communication. Would certainly buy from/sell to in the future if needed, and would definitely recommend.

Was going to tell you earlier Jules, but sounded like you were having a torrid time with your new PC!

I'll just leave these here...

Did it sell mate?

Tom got held up, so rearranged for Wednesday. Will keep you in the loop.

Cool, cool, I'll let you know how the test ride goes later this eve.

I am, but TomVanHalen is pretty much confirmed to be having it. He's coming to test ride it later, but in case he doens't want it are you interested?

Ah I see. Well I'll hold off for a bit, just in case anyone wants to buy them, but if they're still around when my new frame gets here then yeah, we'll do a swap.

Ah nice work JJ, saves me schlepping it up all those bloody levels!

Is the rear unmachined sam? And i feel like I keep forcing the issue, but would you swap for my Aksiums? No worries if you need the cash, but the offer's there.

Very true, more than likely I've just forgotten.

Really? I don't recognise it at all!

Sounds pretty ideal for the summer, not sure I'd trust one in the midst of a wet winter, but i suppose it won't get ridden then if you've got other bikes. And 44x16 can get plenty fast enough, albeit a bit spinny, although I guess you can freewheel on descents anyway... I'm almost starting to come around to the idea now!

How well does that work at high speeds, out of interest? I've only ever used coasters on silly cruiser bikes. And would you not still want foot retention to help with the back pressure/the complete the forumenger aesthetic?

how do you stop?

Probably with the help of the angle provided by that dipped saddle!

I've cracked your code Sam, will grab ti after work, which is conventienly round the corner!

Ah too wide in that case then, so undibs, GLWS.

Not there I'm afraid, that one's pretty much built now.

Great news re postage, but sorry to be picky - is that 42cm centre to centre, or is it the Deda outside to outside measurement? Only asking as the latter would be ideal - tiny shoulders over here! Will probably take them either way, would just be good to know.

What width are the Piegas, and would you be willing to post?

Anyone got a black 26.4 seatpost before I order one online?

Something witty about us all being one big family

Are you thinking of doing what I think you're thinking of doing Rikki....

After getting the answers I needed from the ever helpful Thrust, I'll claim first dibs on the Canelli, just so the thread makes sense.

PM'd you about the Dolan btw Tom, just to inundate you with more questions.

Piega troll is obvious. Hopefully. Otherwise read the rest of the thread.
