Biggest thing I miss about London is all the bike perving. Crazy mix of bikes and riders and plenty of old bikes, some still very much original, but sadly most had been murdered, sorry modernised by wannabe hipsters… Sorry for the massive thread derail! 😬🤯

GOG: A person from North Wales. It's a shortened form of "gogledd" (north) or "gogleddwr" (northerner). HWNTW: A person from South Wales, used by those from North Wales. It comes from the Welsh word "hwnt," meaning "yonder" or "over there". Us Welsh are very odd! Amazing MTBing around...

Love the great North, South divide of London Town! 🤪 Lived SE, SW and then West London. Ealing was north of the river, but clearly not North London. Can't believe it's approaching 2 years since I left London and my life is more chaotic than ever! Still getting used to being back in Wales...

Well maybe one day a rendezvous will take place! The hardest decision will be what bike to bring with you!

@PhillB and @ibbz you two need to meet up!!! I know you're at opposite sides of London which means you might as well live in different countries... ;) So close yet so far!

I saw these earlier and thought that's a great deal and should have just said I'd buy them at the time, but got distracted by work... you work, you lose!

It's the MBUK test of the Campagnolo Centaur equipped Swallow convinced me to move away from Shimano... for a short time because my bike got stolen as I was slowly upgrading my components...

I think it would fit me OK. I'm only 5' 7" and a 80s 19" would be spot-on and the tall headtube would make it super comfy. A far cry from the 90s machines I raced on!

100%. This is a great buy. Love 6 speed XT too. Would be a shame to ever respray an original paint job, but this would be brought to life with new paint. I live inbetween the two collection points. I think he may have sold other bikes in the past as the x2 locations sound familiar, unless this...

Very, very cool. Geometry and tall headtube looks like it would suit us oldies very well! Looks pretty dull/boring as mentioned, but would clean up easily and with a bit of a polish and some decals it would come to life in an understated way. Good price too for this handmade beauty.

@PhillB trust me, that still would have weighed a ton. MBK had a knack of building heavy bikes from early on! Very, very cool though.

Glad both parties are happy. That is ONE nice early Christmas present!!! 😍😍😍

Sorry just realised I posted an integrated headset. But same principle applies, just missing the cups in the middle between top and bottom bearing...

I reckon @benjabbi is right. That's no crown race. Looks like a compression ring from the top of the headset. Should be flipped the otherway around...

POPE FORKS! Can't get more Italian than that! ⛪;)

100% agree. When something is more expensive and less good than BBB, you know you’re taking the p1ss! I forgot about his website. 😍😍😍 Better get my HGV licence and then meet up with that De Rosa seller and pay @rubon87 a visit! 🤣 I’m joking by the way @rubon87 in case my comments get lost in...

Ah the Brick Lane Bikes one. Remember seeing that for sale online.

The bikes @rubon87 owns are truly insane! 😎😍👌He has x2 of those blue De Rosa’s. One with double U and the other with cantilevers… 😍😍😍 Still waiting for him to give me his address so I can drop by with an empty van! 😉

The opposite of a bike aficionado!

I can’t see it selling at that price at all. x3 lazy photos, average description at best with no real detail and complete avoidance of naming the groupset as Campagnolo??? 🤷‍♂️
