bump

EDIT: Damn, I mixed up my dates. Unfortunately, I won't be around to collect in time before Monday. If I was first, please let the next person have them. :)

I happen to know that a 68-113 UN55 is 240g (that's on my scales), which is pretty light for £12. If that's not quite as light as you were hoping for, I'd recommend saving the weight somewhere else maybe. I found that BBs are not a cheap place to save weight off a bike. Next cheapest/lightest...

Re: New items: Karma, Marin, Zoom, Shark fin, Camelbak, Computer Added new items and added photos of Karma seatpost. :)

Re: Reduced: Marin Team stem, Marin handlebar, Ti skewers, Karma prices reduced a bit :)

WOW. Just sent them a message. lol Someone else should send them a message posing as an innocent, interested buyer who hasn't realised the forks are bent. Ask about the bike history etc. and see what they say :twisted:

Re: Reduced. Marin, kona, woodman several shimano brake levers, Tahoma seatpost and Marin bar ends now sold.

I agree with a lot of your post. There is definitely a lot of bike nonsense around :lol:. Sheldon is an amazing source of information because he always seemed to look at every bike subject with a scientific mind. Not accepting anything at face value and questioning everything, including all the...

Re: Marin, Kona, XT brake/shifters, Ultegra, KARMA, Woodman Prices reduced bump :). Gonna start selling these on ebay soon.

I would second hamsters comment about sloping tube bikes. The reduction in stiffness makes the bike all wobbly and more difficult to handle when loaded, but I can definitely understand it's more convenient for using in town. Also agree about changing out the stem to fit the bike. Makes a HUGE...

The trek 820 is a nice all around bike. I'd say though, that if you wait a bit longer, you might be able to find something lighter and with a higher grade of components (like deore lx or xt), for that price. Usually, with retro-bikes, you only need to pay a small amount more for a bike with...

I'm Normally over at the MTB section so hi everyone! I'm after a pair of 26" Continental Grand Prix tyres - the folding version. A bit of an irregular size, but I thought perhaps someone may have a pair. Would love to shave a bit more weight off my bike and these would be perfect - Would push...

Hey all. On the hunt for another pair of tyres. Looking for some of the folding version of Continental's Grand Prix slick tyres in 26" size. Preferably with not much use :). Please let me know if anyone has a pair. Thanks! Edit: sorted now

Re: Schwalbe Kojak's anyone - 26"x1.35" Thanks for the reply Stumpjumper, but all sorted now :). Got lucky and managed to find a pair locally today.

All your bikes are awesome. I think MTB's look cool with slick tyres. Like tough little racing bikes :P My Team Marin wearing Marathon Racer's. Pretty quick and lots of grip (on road) Coventry Eagle Ghost with Marathon Plus's. You can leave the puncture repair kit at home with these tyres...
