Post office and royal mail are not the same business. Why should the post office do a job for royal mail for free? I know it sounds stupid, but, is this stupidity just a symptom of all "services" now 🤣

Finally a warm, blue sky day! So im out in some constable country...all those big skies again.....

£5 posted. Might help out on a budget build. PayPal friends and family please, UK mainland postage only. Cheers

These.. https://www.sq-lab.com/en/area-of-use/city-comfort/sqlab-grip-702.html

They are actually only on there as they are easy to remove. They will be swapped out with some racers edge extra chunky (big hands), but they are a devil to get off/ on without splitting them. However, i use those ergons on my touring bike and they are very good. Has anybody tried the sqlab...

A warm day...with a blue sky and far far less bugs than last week. Last week was disgusting....bugs in hair, nose, eyes, clothes.....urrrrgh. Also, a good day for my first proper off road sojourn. Blimey I've missed Tange Prestige. Last 2 years (other than the odd retro blast on 89) have...

I had a phillips "premier" (Raleigh equipe) my road bike in the mid 80s. Happy memories...

So what's going on now then? Just asking, as im hoping it hasn't died after just one hop of the parcel!

Excellent. I will drop you a pm.

Bikes kitted out like that are now cheap. £150 would buy you a good bike..... I know everybody wants xtr or xt, but tbh....there's very little in it for us mere mortals.🤣

As for bits.....deore or lx with metal levers and cantilevers. Cheap as chips and plenty about, so if you total a bit they are less painful to replace. MT62 deore would be my first choice for a good usable retro. Tie that to some mavic m231 rims and off you go....retro heaven.

Great buy for £75....imho. Avocet and a set of mavics is a good start.

Go Steel frame....best ride, least hassle and cheapest smiles per mile. Steel is the real deal....

Parafin

Slackboy is exactly right. Originals were cut at the pinned joint, so are easy to tell. They are very very rare. Most are mistaken for cutdowns when they are just 26" mavic.

£9 POSTED!

🤣 well yes....i was thinking more £15 tbh! Like the last one... Cheers for thinking of me!

I would try £40 posted for the crank. Especially as its got worn/ non standard rings. Glws

I read the headline of that post completely wrong. I thought it said ......feck me im 50"...... I assumed the bundle no longer fitted you at an average of 36" 🤣 Glad to hear its a fashion choice rather than " pie assisted" necessity.

They are nice a big though....and you can wear boots with them.
