keen! would be lovely to see you all. i sincerely hope this is more successful than my lacklustre attempt at organising it last time

Nic of Mands and Nic fame (forum name has momentarily escaped me) at Watford Junction this morning avec bike. I was bromptoning past you the other way in the station but only twigged when I was too far gone!

Thanks, I appreciate that, but I'm not Oli, and this isn't a game of how low can you go (it's a market). £255 plus twenty for the forum is the starting price. It will doubtless sell for less.

Noted! It's less than what I bought it for, brand new, but I didn't do any market research which is my bad. I'll update it now. Cheers

The best non-Brooklyn BMW money can buy. Ultra practical, fairly light, I've had two pompinos and loved them endlessly. Only selling as we need the space and I have a Surly so this doesn't get the love it used to.

The lacquer has peeled in some spots so there is some surface rust, but the bike is of course structurally sound. It's seen a lot of use but always been maintained and kept indoors almost all the time (it was in storage for about 8 months). A lovely beater and if you decided to re-do the paint and jazz it up, would also be superb. Has the capacity to fill any SS/fixed niche, braked or brakeless.

The handlebars are the only thing I'd replace, and that's purely aesthetic (apart from the lack of bar ends...!) - they were a cheap and cheerful stopgap. I have some GT flat bars i can throw in for free - think you might need a different stem though.

Currently on the SS freewheel but also has a fixed cog on the other side. Apologies for the blurriness of the pictures, my husband took them.

£275 and I'll donate £20 to the forum- either ride it away in Watford, or I can get the train to meet you in Euston. Bank transfer is king, cash prince regent. You can pay by paypal but only without fees.

SOLD thanks all

Sorry, but collection only! No posting overseas :(

This is on ebay now, so long and thanks for all the bumps

at the risk of triggering some PTSD, i have a kitchen recommendation to ask... i guess homebase will not make the cut! we've recently moved into a victorian end of terrace which had the same (now elderly) lady owner for 41 years. i'd be lying if i said i didn't feel a little overwhelmed but i'm going to take it one room at a time and keep the same style throughout. first up is the kitchen.

it's a bit of a crap space, sort of a galley but doors not in the centre of each end, slightly off to one side, so annoyingly difficult to have units which go right up to the wall. i don't know any tradespeople, i would like it to be inexpensive but i guess i have a budget of about 4-5k including fitting, i need floor to ceiling units rather than boxy standalone OTP ones, to make the most of the space. who would you recommend? i am aware there are sales on at Wickes etc until early Jan which has piqued my interest and i would be keen to take advantage of same

on a related note, @tbc i'm also just about to do this with my floors! very interested to see how yours turn out. are you having to seal any gaps and if so did you use wood slivers or the M shaped silicone filler?

oh sorry! and @musa - having never had any reason to frequent this part of the forum i didn't know there was a home diy thread separate to this one. thanks both!

also, that was a gigantic upgrade/investment - the first boat we owned was a far more modest trad narrowboat which we refloored and did up a bit. sometimes i miss it, mostly i'm glad to have wifi / water / electricity

terribly late on this, but i'm a right vacuum snob and recently got this Philips one, couldn't be happier with it. outrageously powerful, deceptively quiet, easy to manoeuvre.

i have multiple questions, having just moved from a boat to a house:

1. i need to re-do the kitchen. it's a crap space, sort of a galley but doors not in the centre of each end, slightly off to one side. i don't know any tradespeople, i would like it to be inexpensive, i need floor to ceiling units rather than boxy standalone OTP ones. who would you recommend? i am aware there are sales on at Wickes etc until early Jan which has piqued my interest and i would be keen to take advantage of same

2. would you recommend stripping and recoating victorian floorboards? i absolutely loathe the crummy red carpet we've been left with, but not sure whether to just put laminate in instead of the bare floorboards

3. where can i find the history of my house? my neighbour tells me that this particular end of terrace house is older than the surrounding houses (which is visible purely from the looks of it) and i'm the only one with a plaque/stone house name brick thing (i don't know what this is called, sorry). is it just land registry that would have this info?

4. does anyone want to buy this boat? (please.)

going on ebay this weekend if no one is interested

PRICE DROP again £400

nope! still available :)

PRICE DROP £410 (£20 will still go to the forum) please please buy this

they're strictly cornershop fare these days, but yes

It is indeed 1"!

No one seems interested which I'm frankly boggled at given the price so please do let me know!

Size wise it was perfect for me with long legs and a shortish body, but GT sizing does tend to be a little... proprietary

Bought this off the very lovely @±ln(x) and was dead chuffed because it's amazing. It hung around for ages while I debated over how to build it up, I then decided I'd never be able to afford the parts I'd want so I'm passing it on - building up a sub par Ti bike would not spark joy. It's a really special frame, but I'm not much for road riding anyway. My loss is your gain!

I think it's from ~1996 and as such it's in remarkably good condition - I dare say the stickers have a bit of wear but the frame itself has only the very faintest of buffs/marks. It's been kept indoors and I've cleaned it:

The sizing is 55cm seat tube CTC (58CTT) and 54cm top tube. Comes with the CK headset and Columbus forks. It looks like this when it's built up (not my build):

Pick up from Brixton and Paypal preferred. I got it for the unbelievably reasonable £400, so I'm asking for £420 and a packet of Frazzles, and the £20 will go to the forum. (The Frazzles will go to me.)

pretty much every station will have this, epping is on a big hill :)

haha! no worries i'm too old for fomo thankfully

will killingsworth is like the kurt ballou/godcity of screamo, i'm definitely guilty of giving things more of a chance if they back some connection with it.

i'm too sick to go to the touche amore/deafheaven/portrayal of guilt show now so if anyone wants the ticket, hmu! i cba to go to camden to stand around feeling awful just to watch PoG and go home again

final leg instalment by kola at the circle. starting the arm in december! going a bit more traditional.

when i moved i did a huge clearout of cds, tapes and vinyl - most of the cds went on ziffit, but there are lots of other similar services. failing that somewhere like flashback records might possibly take them?

@ltc the lineup this year was superb, who's your other band apart from cady? i think it's already sold out (again!) right?

i agree with both your points btw - PoG is super cleanly produced which always struck me as a bit weird, but it makes me smile nonetheless. i didn't know they had moved from holy roar to a much bigger label now until a couple days ago. i also didn't know what you mentioned about SYSC but i really can't say i'm surprised (why is anything to do with mosh almost always wrapped up in someone being an asshole?!) (apart from the blessed pat flynn)

never heard of gif from god, thanks for that! it's got a little bit of everything haha. the blindgirls record was mastered by will killingsworth - of course i love it! great shout.
