Spotted @countryboj 's old Look with a new owner at Waterloo station. I want that frame so much.

Nice club to be in, still got (remains of) another Rourke here. Need to do something about sorting it.

Letting it go was a sad moment for me, but I guess you're right, I'll find something else one day. Maybe will be rich enough to buy this back.

Bars were 42 ctc when I got them, feels to wide?

Enjoy it, and be careful, please.

Ha, he's at it again. There's a reason he's been on ignore for over a year.

Yes, it's sold to @bodieanddoyle , and is being replaced with ESB for now, but I loved my Gangsta. It never failed at anything I wanted it to do, anything from muddy fun to 100 miles ride.
People who hate them expect magic, it's just a bike, give it a break.

Very personal opinion. I enjoyed mine a lot.

Nice to bump into @vunugu this afternoon in Greenwich tunnel, it's been a while.
Also got a requested skid not to far from Greenwich from @AE86 (?) and another rider on shiny Aventon.
Hello!

42 cm ctc and 26.0 clamp.

Try searching Bontrager ssr vr-c.

If you mean picture I've posted, as it's the only with Grammo, those are sptr bars.
Got a spare them spare if you want them.

As Andy mentioned, my build was more than twice the price he is asking, so it's a bargain, out of question.

With few little adjustments it's a fantastic bike for someone. Some front mechs could be modified to fit braze on, as mine was a band on in a previous life.
I did over 2000 km on it last year and was very happy all round. Only sold as got a Rourke in same size.

Nice to see forum bargain being passed on.

Here is a little taster how it used to be build up:

Provisionaly sold, will update soon.

Yep, i'll be there soonish.

I have a feeling most of Suomi Gangsta owners had at least a go on that, and probably got one too.

No problem.

Stop buying coffee and let me know then you need it, I still want your opinion on mine.

Forks are now sold, sorry.

No worries. To me personally it was a selling point as I got functionality without the flashiness , but we're all different.

Hey there,

Got few bits and pieces I need to sell to raise funds for a frame repair after my crash.
I keep finding things in my cupboard so it's likely to be updated with more items.

First up is 1" carbon fork with 255mm of non threaded steerer, that appears to be carbon too.
It looks like it had fair amount of use, but still got plenty of life in it. Some chips and a wheel rub shown in the pictures, but please get in touch if you got any more questions.
I thought it was a bargain when bought it, but it's never been used by me and I would like my money back.
Was £50
Now SOLD

shit picture next to another forum members Mizuno forks, every curve and detail are same:

MORE HERE

1" Chris King GripNut is next. Silver. It had logos polished off as it was fitted on old classic frame, so needed that extra classy look.
Bearings are still smooth and will last long years.
Was saving it for my fixed Rourke, but need money to fix my road Rourke, so it has to go.

£45
NOW SOLD!

Also things available soon:
Bontrager SSR VR-C aka spotter bars that had a tough going with the stem, so pretty scratched, but most will be covered when taped.
Black Sugino 75's, 170mm, well used.
Mack HF track hubs laced to Velocity A23, all black.
Cinelli Mash stem, 100mm, 31.8, black.

I'm pretty sure there'll be more on the list later.

Collection in Angel N1/ Manor House N4 is a preference but postage is possible.

Any questions, get in touch!

Cheers,
Pepe

I thought the same of Talbot and Oak, I think they may be too busy to do it. I heard good feedback about Vaz repairs before. Cheers for heads up.

Vaz seems to be doing some magic fades recently, maybe that's the way to go for the roadie Rourke.

I used Oak before to do some minor adjustments on a Dave Russell that ended up with you. Gazelle fork came from him.

Wasn't sure how busy he is at the moment.

Thanks for reply!

Any recommendations on local builders in London to replace down tube and top tube?
I'm having troubles getting any sort of reply from Rourkes about fixing mine, so trying to figure out my other options.

Got a DAS on saturday evening just off City road from a chap walking along the street with Ortlieb backpack. Hello!
Also nice to meet a fellow Gangsta rider yesterday at Chiswick Farmers Market, hi @M80 !
