Yes, sorry, I think tyres and write wheels (twice here already).

yeah, I just got the Mistral ones for my Holdsworth Mistral (which was built for 27"), but looks like H LLoyd Cycles only has the one from the early models :/

Sorry Markgee I have to undibs from the group as I found a Golden Arrow for the bike.

But I'd still like to come collect the wheels.

Actually I'm in building 10 :)

Yes I do. I arrived this morning 8 (usually arrive 8-8.30am), I usually leave 5pm (at times earlier, at times later).

I am very flexible and can go about Chiswick anytime while at work.

You live or work in the area?

Tonight we're going for a drink at Moot downstairs (Chiswick Business Park) so I'll stay 'til 7pm before riding back home.

Cool thanks!

What happened to those forks? Are they meant to be like that?
And always wondered what's that 'think' connecting the saddle nose to the top tube.
a saddle lock?

The only abandoned bikes are the ones taken by the police/council and auctioned.
Everything else is not.
In my opinion.

Unless it's been CLEARLY abandoned, meaning NOT locked and rusting away on the side of the road. Stem was stuck, tyres flat, spokes broken.

I actually found one of these. Riding back home saw this bike all rusty and spidery webby lying on the side of the road clearly visible. Wasn't there in the morning, I would have noticed it.
There was one shop and private homes, asked at the shop and a rang the bells of few near-by houses.
No one ever saw that bike there before.

Left it there, maybe some one just left it there and went to take, dunno, a car or something.
Came back next morning, was still there (of course no thieves would take it).

So I took it.

That, again, in my opinion, is an abandoned bike (may be just because I took it? No idea, but to me that was as much as a properly abandoned bike as one can say)

Planning on cleaning, re-grease, true/fix spokes, new tubs/tyres and ride along that stretch of road, maybe the owner is still there and might want it back. It's an Elswick Hopper, no fancy tubing.

I prefer his Cazzo.

After a Pompino, now I'm done. This really is the bike porn thread, no matter what Jeez says about it (although he's some reason on his side)

Hi there, I work in Chiswick. We could meet so that I can have a look?

Look at this, I think it's the Chiltern there, right?

What was the rear spacing? And I assume the frame was originally build for 700C wheels as I see you've used medium reach brakes.

And one little thing I can't see from the pictures, the ELAN decal was only on the right hand side of the top tube or on both sides?

This project is on hold until I complete the Holdsworth.
After the Holdsworth I have a full Elswick Hopper bike to restore I found abandoned on the streets of Twickenham.
At least the EH will cost me nothing (except for new tyres, tubs and brake pads)

Then this :/

Too many!!!

Yes :p

Na, he said the buyer wouldn't come and pick it up:

All righty, I thought that HE was the buyer!
My mistake is in there I assume.

Apologies, I had a complete different film on my mind :)

That is quite classy bike.
Shame I've got no space either, but for £100 would have served well as spare bike for when you've got visitors to ride around or lovely pub bike.

The bike has gained £100 for moving 30 odd miles north? Oh no London tax. Thats right. Silly me.

Well, Rochester is in Kent and the OP stated he went there all the way from Edinburgh.

I can only assume he decided to drive south, pick the bike, drive to London to meet family, drop the bike to nephew, go back home.

Devil advocate here!!!

No, from what I've understood the chap here got the bile off ebay, but was collection only, so had to go pick it up and then someone else brought the bike down to London.

This added £100 which is, if you ask me, still on the fair side as one wants to recoup transport prices + time + gain.

Small price drop due to 'removed' parts from the bicycle (rack and mudguards).
As I am building the Holdsworth with different parts, I won't be dismantling this one (except for the mudguards and rack).
Thus, I have removed the frame only option from the sale.

Anyway, I will actually probably keep the whole bike.

So if you want to buy it, let me know asap before I actually decide to keep this thrubred bicycle for myself to complement my touring Holdsworth Mistral.

Final price, then, for the bike with no mudguards, no rack and Flux faux-leather saddle is *£360

PS: I know, I haven't removed the liveWRONG sticker yet!

There's a dibs on the Sora group.

Price dropped: £35

Thanks for the offer, but yesterday I decided to go for a Golden Arrow and got the pieces already.

Appreciated.

I'd also need a seatpost binder bolt for it if anyone has a spare, that'd be lovely.
