Hopefully out west London so that it's an easy pickup since postage will probably offset any sweet deals in terms of price.

Okay, everyone who knows the Tour knows this is the stage

So, following an inspired enquiry from our own Steve (adoubletap) to the boss of South Beers Coach & Horses, Steve (adoubletup), I have gone ahead and booked their function room, with fully functioning room for functioning TV coverage of this functionally functional epic stage.

The afternoon of Saturday 25 July at the Coach & Horses, Acre Lane (Clapham/Brixton). Space is big but will be arranged/limited according to numbers so need to have a list ls & gs.

ps - sorry for the separate thread but need to make sure this doesn't get lost with aussie, lance, france, etc bashing rhetoric

I really want to get my own fixed bike, but I can't decide whether to get an OTP bike or build my own. I've been reading this forum a lot, but I still don't think I have enough knowledge to build my own, yet I don't want to get an OTP because I would like to be original...
so would really like some help in deciding! pros/cons of either, except building my own bike would be awesome, and a good learning experience, just I don't think I'm qualified enough!

It had three chrome coil springs, which I took off, because they wert fair old heavy. I have a fair bit of experience in leatherwork, and just about managed to re-mould and restore the leather (cracked and horribly out of shape - 30yrs in a barn without being used), but some clever bugger stripped the threads on the tensioning nut, meaning it is quiate floppy, and the leather sits on the rails when pressure is applied by one's rectum.
any ideas?

This time I really mean it: 'tis necessary to finance the building of a silly bike.





Seat tube: 62 c-t, 61 c-c.
Top tube: 58 c-c.
531 pipes; BCM stamped lugs.
Drilled at the front.

Shimano 107 BB and Stronglight headset included; I serviced the latter with Phil grease today.

The paintwork has some chips, but is in overall good condition.
The frame is dead straight with no dents.

Geometry is tight but not a fagpaper job: no toe overlap. Overall it's a lovely ride.

£250; no dibs.

It's in Holloway Cycles at the mo; come down anytime. We can chuck some wheels on it if you want to check standover/geo.
