I have been tidying up the garage and have an assemblage of various pieces of surplus kit, tyres etc, which I’d be happy to move on , but too bulky or low value to post. I was wondering whether there are any such ‘car boot sales’ about, or whether we should have one ?
Cheers
I set this bike up for family rides but it really isn’t getting used enough to justify keeping it, plus I need space in the garage for a new road bike !
So it’s a 2010 Bad Boy Disc – 26 inch wheeled, rigid, size medium.
It’s similar to this :

It’s been ridden only around a dozen times, and this summer I upgraded a heap of stuff, as below :
Wheels – 2011 Shimano MT15
Chainset, BB and cassette – 2011 Deore
Brakes – 2011 SLX, with 160mm centrelock rotors
shifters and front mech – 2011 SLX
tyres – 2011 Schwalbe Landcruiser 1.90
since putting this stuff on it I’ve used it 4 times so it is in very close to new condition. Also comes with mudguards, and I’ll stick on the original flat pedals.
I reckon as a new build it would be between £1200 and £1300, so I’m looking for around £750 for it. If you are interested please mail me : iain.clow@gmail.com and I can get some pics to you, sort a test ride etc

Planning to be out sharp at 9, ice permitting. I only have a few hrs so aiming to be back at car park 1145. anyone fancy a wee blast ?
reading Graham’s report I’m undecided……
Having just looked at the forecast the prediction is that it is an improving picture late afternoon and a reasonable chance of dry (from above at least….) this evening for a few hrs.
Many of the favourite routes will be a mudfest and we should try and let them recover, but options could include Douglaston, Voodoo, Lennox ???? (Dumgoyne also a possibility although we are probabaly all sick riding that in the last few weeks).
Any takers ?
5 of us headed round for a somewhat soggy but very enjoyable loop. We had a bit of a ‘detour’ when we turned right in Killearn (my fault…) but it was a challenging 20 mins of mudfest in the forest before we popped back onto the landy track. The main ascent towards the saddle of Dumgoyne was brutal, with soggy sucky ground taking full advantage of the granny rings – apart from singlespeed Jack …hahahahaha – although his efforts put most of us to shame. Gavin must have been eating Viagra or something as he was unstoppable all day…. he dropped us all on the climb and had to come back to where we had decided to break for some well earned sandwiches :). I managed simultaneous punctures front and back, presumably on a bit of barbed wire, just before joining the water board track, but at least it gave a wee break. Tired legs took us back up into Mugdock and back to the crowds of grumpy dog walkers ! A great day and again, nice to be doing something a bit different to the norm – good on Grant for the suggestion.
Forecast is looking good and I haven’t done this one for a while.
For anyone who is interested, but not ridden it before, it’s a longish one, around 4 hrs, with a lot of fireroad and amazing views. There is a 3 ish mile section of singletrack which contains a very challenging climb and a real rollercoaster descent to LochGoilhead.
If there are a few up for it I’d be planning to be at Ardgartan Car Park ready to ride at 0930. Look for carpark signed for Forest Walks and with a wee wooden tearoom, off the left of the A83 just before the Rest and be Thankful (turning is a good bit past the campsite).
if not much interest then I’ll probs do a 9am Mugdock.
Cheers

Bought late 09. boxed with all accessories and charger and including a head harness which is unused. Helmet mount and cable also unused as I have always used it on the bars. Light unit is in perfect condition. battery case has a crack from where i dropped it on my garage floor when a few months old, which I sent back to Hope and they glued, and it’s been fine since.
Looking for around £150
