Thanks all for the interest in bits. Not wanting to cross post, but would like to give this a shot on Ebay before splitting. I've got messages from everyone interested in splits, but is it possible to remove the thread for me to do that? Thanks in advance for any tips!

Cheers, it may come to that!

I’m selling my Bob Jackson Vigorelli. This was a labour of love and it’s in immaculate condition, almost as new. Doesn’t get ridden nearly enough and Covid redundancy means I need to raise funds. The paint job was a custom one when I ordered it, a lovely royal blue with gold lettering, likely not many about like this. It’s a mixture of NJS parts and other high quality bits. This cost well over £1k to build, am looking for £900 ono.

Spec as follows:

Frame- 23ins
Phil Wood high flange hubs
Campagnolo Omega V rims - light brake wear
Sugino 75 cranks
Sugino Chainring - 51T - 19t at the back
Brooks Swift Saddle
Nitto 100 stem
Nitto handlebars - pretty sure B123AA
Brooks leather bar tape
Paul E Lever - brake
Dia Compe brake
Cambio Rino pedals and cages
Panaracer Tanwall tyres
Campagnolo BB

Any questions let me know!

For sale, size 9 brand new, rare, boxed and unused DVS Cinelli Black shoes. They're too small for me so have never been worn. They're really nice shoes, with suede toe caps, stiff soles and perforated leather around the rest of the shoe. They also feature a strap to cover the laces at the front. Looking for £50.

Two viewings have fallen through for this, so still available, and I think underpriced actually!

Very good condition Bagaboo Workhorse Medium bag for sale - £50, in dark grey, blue and orange.

It's a very well made bag and includes a laptop sleeve that velcros to the inside back side of the bag. The bag has one large shoulder strap and another smaller strap to secure heavier loads on your back. There's a reflective strip on the base of the bag too, and lots of handy pockets inside.

I had this made for me direct from Bagaboo, so the colours are unique.

Available for pickup from N7.

Moving house so clearing room. Looking for £50 and a good home for this. Frame is 56cm.

Velocity Deep V rims,
Sugino Messenger cranks and chain ring.
Diatech Gold Finger brake lever,
Decent pedals with good condition Restrap straps
3ttt stem and handlebar
Vetta TT saddle with a bit of a tear on one side.

It's a conversion from an Edison road bike frame, fun to ride and nice and stiff.

Back wheel needs some work and new tyres on each wheel., chain needed too.

Available for pickup from N7

Also have a very good condition Bagaboo Workhouse (Medium) bag that will be posting on another thread.

Did you ever find a home for the Kona?

Looking for a tandem for a friend of mine, something like a Dawes Super Galaxy would be great. Could require some work but nothing too drastic.

Anyone have one up for grabs?

Rescue complete! Had to call in the locksmith who tried to get the piece of key out, but it was too deep. Out came the angle grinder and the lock was history in about a minute. Going to contact Kryptonite to see what they have to say about it because neither lock not locksmith were cheap.

In case this happens to anyone else in Soho fire station jurisdiction, don't bother going down there - the normal firefighters were really keen to help and couldn't have been friendlier, but they had to check everything with their boss upstairs and he is completely unsympathetic and just wants to cover his arse. I understood why they couldn't help on a Saturday night, but first thing Sunday morning, they were all sitting around drinking tea, hardly dealing with any life or death situation.

Thanks for all your suggestions and helpful advice everyone, this is a great forum!

Thanks guys, have tried the tweezers and wire etc, soho fir station is a no go as the boss is a twat. Locksmith on the way, fingers crossed he can either get the broken bit of key out or chop it!

Yeah I spoke to the manager in John Lewis, where it's parked and he said there was no way he could let extension cord come out through front of his shop on a Sunday with the shoppers crowding in - health and safety etc etc. I'm banking on Fire Brigade first thing in the morning

Haha, nice! Yeah typical that these things happen at the worst times. Hopefully will get it off tomorrow morning.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated. Went down to see LFB on Shaftesbury Avenue - the guys on the floor were really keen to do it and couldn't have been more helpful, but the boss upstairs said it wasn't their remit and couldn't do it.

So best I can do is go back tomorrow morning and ask again when it's quieter. Police said they couldn't do anything about it either. Oh well, gonna start looking at insurance now!

The key just broke in my Kryptonite new York lock on Oxford street. Need bolt cutters to get it off asap as I don't want to leave it overnight- just got the bike this week and can't bear the thought of it getting stripped so soon! If you can help or know anyone who can, please call 07810 252387, thanks, dave

DIbs on the Brooks, will PM

Top tube has r.k knight labels on too and forks are ems, look like carbon

Just down at brick lane, aside from the usual hookie bikes for sale there is one that looks particularly suspicious- tiny titanium/brushed steel frame, black forks, red look pedals, green walled tyres and really immaculate shamal wheels. If it sounds familiar to anyone gimme on 07810 252387 and I can tell you where it is. Also came across a deskful of brooks in varying conditions

Just had my Brooks nicked and heading down to Brick Lane tomorrow to see if I have any joy recovering it. It had some distinguishing marks. Thieving pricks!

Just had my black, very nearly totally broken in Brooks Team Pro nicked on Silk Street opposite Barbican.

Aside from Brick Lane and London Fields are there any other hotspots I should check tomorrow on the off chance of finding it?

Ty, you guys just sent me another pair of these in size 9 - very generous, but I haven't paid for them and they're too small! Just dropped you a PM about returning them. Would have been lovely if they were 10s...!

Cool, do you want to pop round one evening this week to try them on?

Thanks Ty, I'm gutted I didn't work out they were too small until I'd worn them a bit

just to confirm, they're the black ones

Just bought a pair of these and worn them for literally half a day, unfortunately a short enough time to realise they are too small, but long enough that they can't really be returned.

They're great shoes, well made, with a nice stiff sole and some cool details, and I'll be buying a size 10 when I can sell these. Looking for £50

PMs please, they're available for pick up in Holloway, behind the tube.
