@biarittz - thanks for that. I guess I bought them at the wrong time of the year! If there is no interest I may just keep them for when the weather turns.
Cheers

Pro Teams sold!

Cross still available

Price drops:

Pro teams - £100
Cross - £70

Hi Alan,
Yes, they size roughly the same. The Cross shoes were made by Giro for Rapha and size similar to Giro cycling shoes. The Pro teams are made by Rapha and size large so I went with the 42 which fit me fine. For comparison, I take a UK8 (Euro 42.5) in Nike trainers.

Cross

Pro Team

Hi all,
Selling a couple of pairs of Rapha shoes, both in excellent, hardly used, condition. Selling as I think I prefer my Sidis (Dragon and Kaos).

1. A pair of Rapha Pro Team shoes in the Hi-viz pink colourway (although it looks more purple to me!) in a size 42 (I usually take a 43 in cycling shoes e.g. Sidi, but Rapha's latest shoes tend to come up big - the Cross shoes I'm also selling are a 43 , but based on the Giro last). I used them for a handful (no more than 5) of rides, so the uppers are unmarked and the soles just have a few scuffs/scratches.
   These retail for £260 (ridiculous!), but would accept £120 on the forum (a nice discount as I can't find the box/bag etc).

2. A pair of Rapha Cross shoes that are in seemingly almost unused condition ( have used them)! I have been looking for a pair in my size for ages, but when I got them they seem a little clunky to me so I am going to stick with my Sidi Dragons. These retailed for £250 in 2014 (!) and are pretty rare now (took me an age to find them), but will take £80 (I have the bag, all three sizes of instep insert and the front studs & stud tool - unused).

These can be picked up from SW4 (evening & weekends) or WC1X (lunchtimes), or I can post well packed in shoes boxes (at buyer' cost). Dibs on here followed by immediate PM seems fairest. Any q's just let me know.

Cheers

Interested if still available - will PM

Sold!

Methinks I have slightly under priced this, judging by the instantaneous responses! Dibs/PM list looks something like this so far:

@Grifffff (pick up this evening !)

@sifriday - no I hadn't, but will keep in mind for future reference - thanks!

Very reluctant sale of my Cervelo Aspero (2020 model year) in what is officially known as Olive, but looks more gold to me! I bought this in November last year and only realised when I got it home (and went to upgrade to a carbon seatpost) that the seatpost was stuck (the guy I bought it from swears he didn't know?!). I then spent the next six months trying to make it fit! I did have a couple of goes to free the seatpost with WD40 and then freezing it, but didn't want to do anything too drastic and risk buggering up the frame.
As a result I have only used it for a few short commutes to work and a couple of longer rides. It is in really nice condition, which makes the stuck seatpost all the more annoying/puzzling. It originally had a full Apex 1 groupset, but I upgraded this to a carbon Force 1 crankset with an Absolute Black Oval 40t chainring (also have a spider with 44t chainring as well). Basic specs as follows:

FRAME: Cervélo All-Carbon
FORK: Cervélo All-Carbon, Tapered Áspero
FRONT BRAKE: SRAM Apex HRD, SRAM Centreline 160mm
REAR BRAKE: SRAM Apex HRD, SRAM Centreline 160mm
BRAKE LEVERS: SRAM Apex HRD
REAR DERAILLEUR: SRAM Apex 1
SHIFT LEVERS: SRAM Apex 1 HRD
CASSETTE: SRAM PG-1130, 11-42t
CRANKSET: SRAM Force 1
WHEELSET: Fulcrum Racing 800 DB (with Continental GP5000 25c tyres)

It is a size 56 (geometry available on the Cervelo website - https://www.cervelo.com/en/aspero) and I am 5'10 & 1/4" (with 32" ish inside leg). It is just a touch too big for me with the seatpost stuck where it is, so would probably suit 5'11" to 6' as it is and I can take any necessary measurements (or you could have a go at the seatpost with a little more vigour/ingenuity!).
Not sure what to ask really, but this retailed at £2,700 new and I would probably be asking for half of that if I was selling it without the seatpost issue. Would half again (i.e. 25% of the new price - £675) be reasonable or too much/not enough? If I can;t get that then perhaps I should split it and hang the frame on the wall (but would rather sell complete).
Pick up from Clapham (SW4 - near Clapham Common tube) evening and weekends). Any q's just let me know.

I'll take it - quite like the colour ;-)

Will PM

Interested - have PM'd!

Is the black suit still available?

I would be interested in this if @clockwork_killa doesn't take it!

Probably not the forum for this, but a cheeky little bump just to check (presumably I don't have to reduce the price as it's free - I'm not paying you to take it away.....yet!)

Photo of the cushion covers

Not sure if this is the right place, but thought I would give you all first go at this.

I have a really nice sofa that needs to be gone (it is currently in storage at Safestore Battersea and costing me £250 month!). It's too big to fit on either my ex-partner's or my flat and the charity won't take it as it isn't complete (the one issue with it is that it doesn't have the original cussions - they were washed and never dried out - still has the cushion covers!).

It is 210 cm long (so quite big!) and originally came from Loungin in Battersea (and cost the ex an arm and a leg!). Obviously for pick up only from Safestore Battersea and hopefully in the next couple of weeks ideally.

First one to arrange pick up (you'll need a van) gets it. Let me know if you need any more details.

Cheers

This is sold and picked up!
Sad to say goodbye, but hopefully the new owner will have many pleasurable miles.

Just over 5'10 and this is a good fit (with a bit of leeway either way)

@Silv1992 - sorry, not looking for swaps at the moment (need to pay for my new turntable!). Thanks

@troutledge - sure, just let me know (PM me to arrange)

@yeahdext - not sure how to cross post, but will give it a go!

Ah, silly me (I thought it was something to do with the top tube!).
I'm getting a new Technics SL-1500C (to replace an SL-7 that's getting a bit long in the tooth)

@D_Mars - not sure what you mean?
