Those sales I've seen recently seem to top out at £150-ish.

And Mike, I joined this forum because every Google on 'classic lightweights related questions' brought me here, trying to identify this past CP:

I'm thinking of changing the GB stem and bum fluff Concorde bars, if anyone's interested...

Thanks but black's out.
Shame as we're practically neighbours.

Anything really.
Scratched up Kalloy or an SR Laprade, that kind of thing.
Ta.

Ah, good to see the return of the Angel!
Boats?

Are these worth a tenner to anyone?

Moving this around the crapcave earlier, my hawk-like speccy 4eyes detected that especially voracious rust worms have attacked the drive side BB thread to the tune of half eliminating it. Buggers.

Thus this very unpopular frame and fork has been cheapened to just £35 before being thrown in the cellar.

Purchased recently from a cove that didn't mention the somewhat rare cog thickness. Nice clicks and thick.
£5.

I've got an ancient 1970s black plastic Bluemels you can have f.o.c.

Or chop up a broom handle and use coach screws.

I have loads of spare mechs from conversions. I'll pull out the best parts tomorrow.

Bad luck, what a rotter.
Would help to add the location, time, description of the miscreant, as his M.O. would suggest this is not a 'one-off' theft.

Quantifying both 'very cheap' and 'local' will help your quest significantly.

Have a bump. That's nice and very nearly what I'm after. Just not quite..

From Frank Bowen's auction up the road?

At last. Gone to a good home with Provenrad.

My Classic Bike. The pump came with the bike in 197? and still works.

Gotta 'Stanga' and you chose that user name?

Are you PoPo having fun or something??

I'm something.

I regularly come across these geezers. Can you I/D them from my 'fun' descriptions?

G.1
Rides South, Whitechapel Rd; has 2 silver bikes, 1 fixed shiney, 1 SS Specialised.
Has something of the 'Damon Hill' look about him, smart black messenger gear.
Full City flyer visible! Mumbles grumpily, I'd guess frequently.

G.2
Rides Parliament Sq, South on a visibly very bent white fixed Olmo track.
Black messenger attire, big black tats. Fast, in comparison.

Cooo-eee!

My size, that Hobbs but I've got a frame in the wings already.

I've also bumped you on this excellent Hobbs resto thread:

Looking forward to seeing this finshed.

There's a chap on this recent post with a Hobbs frame for sale:

Those rims are rubbish for winter braking (using some...) Are there better pads that 'work' on chrome in the wet?

Free drops, 25.4 mm.
Both 27" and 700C freewheel wheelsets, both very cheap.

The Coroner's Report is now out. She slams the use of blue paint false cycle lanes. They cause confusion, give cyclists a false sense of security, lead them to ride in the wrong position. Cyclists and drivers can't tell the difference between a real lane and false lane

It's a Reg 28, good.
A summary of all Reg 28 reports is published here:

slippery when wet paint too

Have been doing this bastard route for 10 years now.
I opt for the flyover, North-bound. Never nice - jumping the lights by the church is a pre-requisite for a safer passage.

Hitting Stratford by the Picture House is my current Bete Noir; that new-ish left feed off to Westfield is just insane road design!
Again, one has to jump the lights to the next set, 20 m away, set to avoid "left turning bell-end" wipe-out.
Happy to get done here...will refuse any fine and take further, speak out.
