This news is really miserable, but what stands out is that Velocio doesn't do this for a living and what a gesture that is. I'm not a huge contributor to this forum (I'm terrible at typing interesting content!) but really enjoy reading and chipping in where possible. I'll be gutted if the site closes as-is, but it's amazing it's here so I'll do my best to enjoy it while it lasts!

The rear tanwall being darker has my eye twitching but pleased to see Campagnolo back in the WorldTour. That bike is dreamy

Extra WTF north of the border for the name Jobby

Fuuuck, well and truly jumped the shark.

Had a quick nose, import duty appears to be 4% and VAT due at 20%, so looking at £312 to your door. Good price

Many thanks for clarifying - this had been pointed out in the Power Meter thread before but I was too lazy to confirm! Typically £370ish from UK stores

Also PM'd about the HED wheels, thanks

Moment of Truth by Gang Starr (stone cold classic to me) or All Amerikkkan Bada$$ by Joey Bada$$. I rarely listen to an album all the way through but that's a good un

Found this in my spares box. Wheels are long gone! Was on for around 1000km summer miles then swapped for Shimano. Yours for £20 posted

Sold

My wife got these for her birthday and isn't a 14-year old with a jump bike (fortunately, for numerous reasons) so they're for sale. Unopened, £11 on Chain Reaction

I thought that was £400 not £40, mad

Brown Honky Tonk in good nick, £40 starting bid, road trip to Wales:

First ride of my Joe Waugh with new wheels - H Plus Son TB14s on Bitex hubs. Black paint already going after one ride but hey ho! Tried carbon pads but grits gonna grit I guess

The build will probably be predictable and a swap of parts from the Merckx: 10 speed Record, 25mm LB tubs on shiny hubs and spokes, silver finishing kit etc

Plan of attack is to tidy up the frame over the winter: touching up the chips and scuffs, painting over the worn pantographing (gold Tamiya paint incoming) and generally helping it look its best before building up

So, updates and hopefully the start of a thread rather than bulletins. Sold the Cannondale as a complete build as it was one bike too many sadly. Merckx Strada lives at work for Friday lunchtime rides and has been used plenty.

Was perusing other threads and saw @retrodicorsa was selling a Colnago Tecnos which I'd liked the look of when it was up for sale first time, but slept on and was quite jealous of @getoutofbed's build. Has all the features I wanted: Art Decor paint with the cyclist on the top tube, in good nick but not mint, plenty of chrome

So did a buy

That's some petty footballer shit right there, wild

I stopped using ebay a while ago after an annoying misdelivery saga, where I had confirmation from Royal Mail the item wasn't delivered to my house but ebay wouldn't refund. Bloody love a bargain but they really seem to be swirling the drain now

Buy another frame or bike. Life too short.

Seconded! Particularly if you like horizontal TT, rim-brake bikes, should be plenty second hand to float your boat

Ooh er missus

Cheaper option engaged! Thanks for pointing out it's a total folly, thought as much. Will get the caliper aligned then leave it!
