Will share mine too in its current state

Looking for a 110bcd Aarn, any colour considered. I have a 43t 144bcd Aarn in USA camo to trade/part ex potentially too.

Still got this hanging around, still willing to take £1050 for it :-)

Came up with this design for my flat, brief was wall mounting for 4/5 bikes, and be as compact as possible. I was mounting on plasterboard so had to make sure I was spreading the load correctly.

I ended up going for Topeak Swing-up hooks, a little pricey but the big plus is that they swing, which means I can fold the bikes to the left and right for easy access and also make them sit closer together.

The hooks are then mounted to 2 t-slot profiles, the slots mean that the hooks can be loosened and then slid along to another position, good for precisely positioning bikes to handlebars saddles nicely fit together.

Overall, really pleased. Super easy to get bikes in and out, doesn't intrude too much into the room. Hasn't fallen down yet!

There are some tools which made that process not too painful! I hope to update it soon with more metadata, I have all the data for the parts and components but the currently can’t display it yet

Collated the 2000 most favourited bikes from Pedalroom into a spatial archive, most of which are probably also in here. Maybe some of you might enjoy browsing :-)

Update on the Heathrow griiix deal, my friend just rocked up, all sold out :-(

Turns out I have a friend heading there tomorrow so asked him to check what’s up, have requested 2 (one for myself and one for my partner) so fingers crossed 🤞

I saw this too, very much want, such a bargain

Oops, probs shouldn’t be giving away where I live online, cropped

Cheers, the fork I imagine came with the original frame, unsure what it is. It’s made of carbon fiber.

From the top of me head think it’s a 55x55

Interesting, I was worried that having multiple in a row fairly compact might be an issue. Think I’d rather be safe than sorry so think having an additional base might be the way to go, kind of don’t want to be super careful every time I put a bike up or down. Good to know it doesn’t need to go into the struts.

Any thoughts on the thickness of ply to use as the base?

Looking for some tips on a DIY project I’m planning. Basically I want to put up 5 bike hooks on an internal plasterboard wall. I know I’ll need something to brace the wall sufficiently which is directly screwed into the studs. I’ve seen before people just attach horizontal strips of plywood across the wall and then attach the hooks to that. Think this might look a little ugly though.

I was perhaps thinking about covering the wall top to bottom with a plywood board instead, which I think could look good. I’m not quite sure how to deal with the intersection with the skirting board at the bottom though, as well as the right side of the wall is not a right angle so there won’t be a flush join.

Anyone got any smart ideas of going about this? Also worried that the screws I’d need to use to mount the hooks on the plywood would have to be quite short to not go through the back and through the plasterboard, or is that not an issue?

Photo attached, is the wall the bikes are leant against.

The sunny weather prompted me to do some tinkering, first time in a while.

Front rack is this: https://7rbags.com/product/front-rack/

This setup has been working pretty well for me, this was packing for a 3 day long weekend. Could easily pack a lot more on though which is nice for longer tours. Nice to have lots of extra space to strap on additional food and bits when needed.

Fairweather dry bag and holder on the front, and also matching frame bag. Rear panniers are custom made by Bigxtop using the same colour xpac.

Any front rack recommendations for a V1 with canti mounts?

Here is a folder of pics here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/1wgao69rx3ua5pxx1ih8r/h?rlkey=kogo06ww97gllkls731zwedwk&dl=0

Sorry I remembered that it’s currently stored in my studio, going to need to wait until Monday to get some pics when I’m next in.

Have an original OP1 I’m looking to sell. Didn’t end up getting on with the workflow so moving it on. Do love the synth engines though, just prefer step sequencers to the record to tape mechanic.

I bought it about a year ago from eBay. If I remember correctly, the previous guy had the power button repaired at some point. Everything is working as expected though, the on board speaker is not great but heard that it the case with all of them.

Comes with the original charging cable, as well as the teenage engineering carry case which I bought new around the same time I got it. Also have the original foam mould case it came with including the TE rubber bands that hold it together.

Looking for £600. Ideally collected from E5 but can post.

Folder of more detailed pics here.

Yep there is a pre set price on the options. Definitely the case that it won’t be setup in the most tax efficient way for us unfortunately. Guess it is what it is!

From what I read online there’ll be income and cap gains to pay, makes a case for exercising them early

Thanks for the detailed response. All quite complicated eh haha

So the company is not public, so far there has been no opportunities to sell shares and not sure there will be for a while. The company is still in the early days.

Tax sounds like it’s gunna be a pain so good to be aware of it. Thankful I have some good account so they should be able to walk me through things tax related when it’s needed.

Nice should on checking if I can file a W8-BEN, the options are on Carta.

Okay so to add a bit more detail to this, the company that I own is contracted by them, rather than me personally. However, the options that we have been awarded, are to both my business partner and I personally (due to some funny business where our company was not legible to accept them).

So I’m a contractor for a new US startup, as part of my payment we are awarded stock option grants on top of my monthly pay. There was an initial vesting period which has now past, and new options vest monthly.

Before hand I did a bit of reading about how these work, and the fact that I can choose to exercise them, but I have no clue about timings and when the right time to do that would be. For example is it best to hold off exercising them until it’s clearer that the company is going to succeed? Anyone been through a similar process and have any insight?
