As per title - very little use so VGC - comes with requisite QR skewer and a cycleops turbo tyre. Doesn't include a riser block - v cheap on ebay.
Not a smart trainer obv, but a v good one nonetheless. See https://road.cc/content/review/47632-cycleops-fluid-2-indoor-trainer
Cost around £250 - RRP today around £175 - selling this one nearly new for £50 > now £45.
Collection only (it's fairly heavy) from SE13 (Hither Green)

Right - the chap at the front of the queue has said others can go first. @cryptthing this is yours if you want it - pm me. If it helps on sizing I’m 6ft and ride it as pictured - will work for people a bit shorter I reckon!

OK - I've only just finished refurbishing / building this - it was a really fun project and rides pretty well - but I've just bought another bike (unexpected purchase) and need the space so sadly this has to go...
Hopefully this dropbox link works (shout if not): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zywuj9efgxdtw37/AAAOR75Ev-QiC3Z_0UHKbo7Ta?dl=0
[Would like to embed photos but this no longer works for some reason (I'm posting from a macbook - answers on a postcard!)...]
Details:
Reynolds 531 frame 56cm - metallic sparkly purple
Tange headset (new)
BLB Bronson bars (new)
Ritchey Logic brake levers (lovely)
Sunrace RH shifter (new)
3T grips
Wald basket (new - 2 x bungees included)
Tiagra 4400 chainset (very little use)
105 5700 rear mech (new)
SRAM chain (nearly new)
Campag Mirage calipers (new)
Turbo saddle nubuck brown (nearly new)
seatpost is an ebay special (26.8)
stem is basic but aesthetically pleasing
Wellgo pedals (new)
Wheels - 8 speed, decent condition, but mismatched (front is a CFX)
Michelin dynamic classic 25s (both new)
jagwire cables (ti braded outers)
Mudguards (chromoplastic rear, raceblade long front as minimal clearance)
Bottle cage and bell included...Background - I found a 531 frame on e bay, had paint fully stripped by Mario Vaz, and did a very careful rattle can paint job (primer, purple, laquer) - I found a "531 renovated" decal which has gone on under the lacquer. It has been treated with frame saver inside. In the sun it really looks smart.
Pics aren't the best - was in a bit of a rush and sun was going down (the specks on the wheel are a bit of dirt not rust!) I'll edit with some better pics when the sun next comes out.
Will be sold with a LHS sunrace shifter (new), and the other chainring (and bolts) for the chainset in case anyone wants to convert it back to 2x. I have a (used) Sora front mech I can throw in too.
The bad - a very small ding on the top tube and a slight scratch to the paint on top tube (see pics).
Really finding it hard to price this one tbh - clearly won't be worth anywhere near as much as it cost to build and I don't have the time / heart to split - so I'll say £sold and see what the interest is...

I got a pair of these for Xmas. Just what I wanted but the medium came up a bit small. Was going to exchange for large but Galibier have sold out of most sizes and don’t seem to be getting in any new stock until next autumn... (interesting sales strategy just as we enter the coldest part of winter...). Anyway I can send them back for a refund but before I do thought I would offer on here as generally regarded as a v v good glove and you can’t get them on the website any more. I will however be selling for full rrp of £24.85 and postage will be on top of this. Will keep them on here until end of the weekend.

Got new wheels / tyres on the winter bike and I think they allow more volume in the tyre so now I've spent a couple of hours trying to fettle my SKS chromoplastics so they have enough clearance around the rear caliper (they were a tight but solid clearance with the old wheelset). After failing at the nth attempt then swearing and storming off I thought I would seek views...
So my question is this - are PDW guards better for tighter clearances than SKS? They seem to have less side coverage which might create a bit more wriggle room maybe - and stiffer so might need less faffing with curvature... anyone with any experience of both who could help?
(700c wheels and 25mm tyres)

I have an out front mount for my garmin on a Canyon (H36 integrated handlebar stem thing) and I'd like to mount a cam using a gopro style fixing. Can I mod the existing mount with an adapter or am I doomed to buying an entirely new out front mount?
Sorry if this has been asked before - I'm not terribly competent at searching (I did try).
EDIT - I just found this but someone here might have another option https://www.shapeways.com/product/UEKUY2HWK/canyon-aerocockpit-gopro-mount?optionId=91750004
