Definitely gonna try and make it tonight, just chucked a pizza in and then it's a five mile ride so hopefully I won't be too late?

I bought a new bike so I'm done with my old one, hence this sale thread. PM me or reply if you're interested. The bike is located in Essex but I will happily post it for whatever a courier costs.

The bits I know about the bike:
Tensor cycles 'Panther' frame, 56cm - fairly good condition, there are quite a few small surface rust marks, stickers are peeling off slightly.
Cinelli bars and stem.
Raleigh seat.
Unbranded tyres.
Rigida rims/wheels - they have alot of surface rust which has been removed by me but is still noticeable. The front wheel is slightly buckled so it probably needs to be replaced. A spoke is missing on one of the wheels.
Not completely sure on pedal brand, olive green clips and brown leather straps.
The bike is brakeless at the moment.
I have no idea about the hubs (it's fixed though) and chain etc, all I know is I have ridden this bike for a while and they work fine. I know that doesn't really help.

£110 + courier costs if posted.

Any questions, just ask.

I'm down for Thursday too. I'm also a novice so I may have to borrow stuff but I'm more than happy just to watch for the first time.

I've just moved down to Brighton for university, I'd be interested in playing but I've never played before so if anything is going down, just let me know. The same goes for rides or beers.

I can do this frame for £150 which includes BB, headset and seatpost, pickup in London...

Sorry, I'm looking for a complete.

Cheesecake, that's a really nice offer, thanks! Luckily I'm taking my car to uni so I can get around, it's just going to be more expensive (especially with parking I hear) than riding! I'm guessing there are quite a few riders in Brighton, hit me up with some info if you all go riding once a week or something.

I've had so much trouble with my bike at the moment that it's come to the point where I give up with it. I'll more than likely split the decent parts and sell them on here at a later date. Anyway, I'm looking for a complete fixed gear with a 56-58cm frame. I can ideally pick up from anywhere in Essex or Brighton area (moving down there for Uni on Sunday), although London is possible and obviously posted would be cool too.

My budget is a maximum of £200-250.

Thanks.

Yep, I would like a brown seat, not bothered about the brand. If it can be under 20 pounds posted aswell, that would be awesome. PM me!

PM'd cipolinni. Anyone else got anything to offer?

Okay, it's probably more than a few bits but here is what I need to finish a cheap beater fixed for commuting at universtity, which I need to finish as soon as possible as I forgot I'm leaving in a few weeks. Obviously, this means I need to do this as cheap as possible, just like every other student thread but I would really appriciate it. Anyway:

• Fixed back wheel or wheelset (I have one but the surface rust is getting a bit too much).
  
• Pedals with straps and clips (large).
  
• A brown saddle (purely a cosmetic thing).
  
  

If anyone can sort me out with any of this for cheaps, I would be highly grateful.

Dibs (15), PM'D!

Thanks for posting that thread, I can't believe I didn't see it, I'm an idiot.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out on the previous thread! I would like to buy a Cinelli 1A stem, around the 110mm mark as I'm not too fussy on the length. Around or under £15 would be perfect, if not, hit me up anyway, thanks!

I'm guessing this is a quill stem then? I've attached some pictures below. Excuse the fact that it's a beater, I'm just building it cheaply to get some builiding experience and have some fun on a beater fixed gear.

The handlebars are some Cinelli drops I bought from here. I'll upload pictures in a minute.

I just bought some new handlebars and they don't fit my current stem. The problem is, I'm a complete bike n00b and I have no idea about stem sizes or measurements or anything like that. Basically, the new bars are the dimensions of 63/40. I've tried to measure my stem and it seems to be about 2.4cm/0.9 inches although it has some larger silver nuts underneath it that make the base of the stem where it meets the frame about 3.2cm/1.2 inches. If anyone can help me out with what I need to ask for, for the right stem that would be awesome and if anyone has the right stem to sell me, then let me know and I'll buy it off you! Sorry for the length!

PM'd.

change the pedals, get some foot retention.

Seeing as I am a real beginner when it comes to bikes, what pedals would you reccomend? And as stupid as it may seem, can you or anyone give me a brief description of what foot retention is?

First fixed gear project.

I kind of wished I'd read more into getting a bike and the parts etc but I rode a friend's fixed gear and I really enjoyed it so I rushed getting one. Got this off of Gumtree for £75 already fixed as a true beater/pub bike. All I've changed so far was the seat which was a wreck, swapped for a Viscount seat and I put new unbranded tires on it. Obviously this needs a lot of work and I'm steadily learning what needs to be done, the next new thing it definitely needs is some handlebars, I really don't like riding with these. All I know about the bike is that it's a Tensor Panther frame.

I'm a new member so I can't PM you but I'll take the Viscount saddle if it hasn't already gone. Can you send me the details to inthebalancezine (at) googlemail (dot) com, thanks!
