scratch on tube

Pompetamine, 54 top tube, I think it was the smallest in their range sorry can't remember exactly.

In 'good' condition, all threads fine and frame is straight no crashes, no dents etc but was used as my main bike for years so has some scrapes in the paint. I've highlighted the worst in the photos.

Steerer tube is uncut.

Incudes F+F and headset which is fine.

I'm based in E11 but can bring into the Central London near Liverpool if that helps.

you could try disconnecting the cable and see if you push the mech over to below the largest sprocket.

I ordered a small item, a BB tool, good automated emails and quick delivery so no complaints here. Item was also chepeast I could find on the web by quite a long way.

Never tried one but there's something called helicoil. It works by drilling out the damaged thread and then the insert is screwed in.You can buy kits on eBay and some bike shops stock them.
No idea what it costs so need to balance the cost against new/2nd hand cranks.

Good luck

2nd (or possibly 3rd) dibs on the Nitto rear rack.

In SE I guess Mario/Winston Vaz, can't remember which one is the builder/painter.
I've used BikeFix in Bloomsbury, they're quite good.

There's a couple of framebuilders on the forum as well, I spoke to @jimjamosullivan recently who might be able to advise and/or repair.

good luck

whereabouts in London roughly r u?

No probs and dont feel stupid, got to be a first time for everything!

Try with a knife first, theyre honestly really verry easy to take off and put on.

Its what is known as a split race, so thats the gap in it. Should come off very easily. Try with a small sharp knife, gently wotk it in and then move it around.

why dont you use the one thats on your old fork?

@fredtc, if you've already completed the disk wipe, maybe dban from here http://www.dban.org/
from memory it can boot a machine from CD/USB, so no messing around opeing it up etc, and will wipe to DDOS standards.

have sent PM

If you supply Mercian the frame number and £10 they'll supply any details they have on the frame/bike.
I did it recently but all that came back was "it's an off the shelf frame" however I think it can be very specific, incl colour, lugs, geometry and brazeons etc obviously depending on how specific original purchase was.
They quote a week but it can take longer.

GLWS

dibs the " Continental GP4000s ii" pls if ricky.w isn't taking them.
will PM

cheers @GreatSince78 that's a good shout. @Howard on the phone and they "sort of" implied there was some discretion. The problem for me is that it's not that close to me so major hassle carting frames/forks and therefore I probably wouldn't be in enough for them to get to get to know me but 100% agree beer does tend to loosen things up!
Cheers

mobile locksmith? If GF is there with proof of ID should be OK.

I did it DIY years ago. I popped into the local police station, where I'd left the bike, told them I was en route to recover my bike and they said "carry on" didn't take any details.

Can you register these locks? Maybe get a replacement from Kryptonite?
