Actually, yes, I should revise my earlier statement. There is not a hope in hell that it will sell at that price.

The Tange BB on the bike with the SR Apex cranks was 125mm long, so yes, it looks like you'll need something much longer than 113. Not that that's conclusive, and I may have just muddied the waters even more!

Sure - I've actually recently taken some SR Apex cranks off a BB, so I'll just check what the BB length was on that bike...

I have an unused 113mm threadless BB somewhere if you're interested for £10 posted? It's one of these M-wave ones. It's pretty heavy, but seems fairly well made.

It’s obviously a rare find, but I’m not sure it’s both rare and particularly desirable, at least not to the point of being worth over £850. I very much doubt it’ll attract any bids, though it’ll be interesting to see one way or another. Also, what’s going on with that bar tape?

Now on eBay at a starting price of £30. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/336159346454

I was once at a birthday party where Phil Oakey was in attendance, as his girlfriend was a friend of someone I knew. He’s quite a shy bloke by all accounts. Maybe that’s why he went for a haircut that covered half his face - or maybe it’s just because it was the 80s 🤔.

I'll PM you – I'm sure we can work something out.

Looking at the head tube it doesn’t look as big as a 22”/56cm frame to me. I’m in Sheffield so I can potentially collect this and drop it off at the train station @Stormylolol

Now £40 collected or £55 posted. Cheapest it’ll go before it goes on eBay.

Here are three final churches from the Isle of Wight. I’m sort of spoilt for choice here so I've only chosen a few of the possible ones I've come across on my rides. St Blasius Church, Shanklin. The most notable feature is probably the lychgate which was built in 1894 and is I would think...

Here is a trio of Isle of Wight churches, starting with what apparently might be the smallest church to have been built as a parish church in England – the Old Church of St. Lawrence, in St. Lawrence (12th century). It's no longer the parish church, as a larger one was built to replace it in the...

Back on the Isle of Wight for a week, and I had a chance to go up this excellently named road. It's not actually that steep, but it does live up to the name. It's in Ventnor, which was near the beginning of a 35 mile there-and-back route along the southern coast of the island, which has some of...

The owner was just going into a shop, so hopefully it wasn’t too risky. Although it’s true I’d be nervous locking that anywhere myself.

That gate is really quite something. I mean, I suppose it should be called a gate, but that doesn’t really do it justice.
