FS: Tough rear wheel – Mavic 321CD (now 729) on gold hope xc hub

  By

Going for a lighter wheel as I am changing bike to be a bit more xc friendly. I have a really tough rear wheel in excellent condition to part with – built by the legend, Big Al at wheelcraft and has been true ever since it was built. Rim is the Mavic 321CD (now called 729), the ‘CD’ coating is dark grey and very resistant to scrapes. Built with 36 plain gauge spokes, brass nipples of course and uses a Hope XC hub in bling gold colour. The hub has had some fresh bearings last year by alpine and not used much since then. Freehub has been oiled and cleaned regularly. If you are tough on wheels, then this is all you need – it is the strongest rim you can get built up and is in great condition, its heavy compared to a 717 for instance, but will last a downhill course or big jumps. Cost me about £180 or so a while ago, would accept £60 or £65 with 8 speed cassette included (still loads of life left).

Hoorah!…..we now have club tops!

  By ,

Hi all,

Finally I am now in possession of our club clothing order. 

The easiest way to collect & pay for your top(s) would be to attend next Tuesday nights ride which I should be attending or at the AGM next Wednesday, which you should all be attending (signed permission slips are needed otherwise). 

I’ve ordered a number of tops for stock which are available for any sizing issues and they’re also available to purchase at cost, these will be displayed at the AGM.  (Cost is what we are all paying – £30 for s/sleeve, £32 for l/sleeve).

I am also attending the Mabie w/end trip (this w/end), so if you’re also coming along, let me know & I’ll bring yer top.

The 25th Anniversary Top is still in its early stages, further details of this will become available in the new year.

Regards

Barry

Aldi 2 bike stand for sale

  By

Bought in error as it is not what I though, this is more of a storage stand that can also be used to work on bikes, but needs fixed to wall so rules it out of the spare room. Ideal for a garage or a room that has not just been decorated. It is unused, just built and then taken apart. Cost £30 but would take £20 if anyone wants it – they sold out really fast last month.

Check http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/special_buys3_20816.htm

Here is the stand - bikes not included!

For Sale: Thule 970 Xpress (2 Bike) Tow Ball Mounted Carrier

  By

Hi. For Sale. Unused & still in packaging. Good reviews on internet – only drawback (from reviews) is that some posts state that some frames (< 16″ or sloping top tubes like on female specific) are difficult to fit. Need cash for a repair. Price on internet >£40+ excl P&P, so does £30 sound ok? Happy to drop off Milngavie / Glasgow area. Keith 07855 808 964.

For Sale: Singlespeed Road Bike – upgraded Specialized Langster

  By ,

I have a Specialized Langster singlespeed road bike that I hardly ever use that I’m selling.  I had bought it for commuting but I only used it infrequently and since we moved offices in March I don’t have a nice secure basement to lock it in anymore and it’s too bling to lock outside my new office.  I’m also moving house so it will be one less thing to move!

It’s a 2007 56cm but a lot of the parts have been upgraded (lovely set of wheels, quality transmission, Ultegra brakes, seatpin etc.).  Full spec is:

  • Specialized A1 Premium Aluminium frame, fully manipulated tubing, compact design, integrated headset;
  • Specialized carbon fork, carbon fibre legs, aluminium steerer;
  • Specialized Mindset, 1 1/8″ integrated threadless, sealed bearings, alloy 20mm cone w/ one 10mm and two 5mm alloy spacers;
  • Specialized Sport, 3D forged alloy stem, 31.8mm split clamp, 7 degree;
  • Specialized Comp, 6061 alloy, short-reach drop handlebars, 31.8mm;
  • Cinelli Carbon Fibre effect ribbon w/ 2.5mm gel padding
  • Shimano 6500 Ultegra 175mm cranks and Octalink BB;
  • TA Specialities 48T Track chainring;
  • White Industries Eno (the best) 18T freewheel;
  • Izumi 1/8″ track chain;
  • Ft wheel: Hope Ti Fatso 32H QR hub with DRC ST17 rim, stainless DB spokes and X-Lite skewer;
  • Rr wheel: Goldtec 36H allen bolt mounted hub with DRC ST17 rim and stainless spokes;
  • Specialized Mondo, 700x23C, wire bead tyres;
  • Carbon Seat post (not the aluminium sleeved original);
  • SpecializedComp Roadsaddle;
  • Specialized CNC, alloy seat binder;
  • Shimano BR-R600 (Ultegra standard) brakes;
  • Cane Creek SCR-5 Silver brake levers;
  • Specialized alloy bottle cage.

Geometry is of the sloping top-tube compact style and is as follows:

Size

56
Seat Tube Length, Centre to Top

520mm
Seat Tube Length, Centre to Centre

470mm
Top Tube Length (Horizontal)

565mm
Bottom Bracket Drop

69mm
Chainstay Length

405mm
Seat Tube Angle

73.25°
Head Tube Angle

73°
Rake

43mm
Trail

59mm
Front Centre

595mm
Wheel Base

991mm
Standover Height

786mm
Head Tube Length

180mm
Handlebar Width

400mm
Stem Length

100mm
Crank Length

175mm

Would probably suit someone a few inches either side of 6ft in height.

Other than a couple of stone chips, the bike is in absolute mint condition.  Would make an excellent training or winter bike.

Looking for £350 for it.  If anyone’s interested let me know before it goes on the classifieds…

Interim Club Top Clothing Order (Not Anniversary Top!)

  By ,

Hello all,

Due to interest from various members, I have contacted thecyclejersey.com about replicating the order from last year and using the same design.  There are two types of tops available, along with a Wind Cheeta jacket (looks similar to a Gore Phantom type jacklet without zip off sleeves).  

Once we’ve placed the order, the turnaround is 3 to 4 weeks.  The cost varies depending on the size of order and we get a special rate from them.  Basically, if the order is for 20 or more tops the following prices apply:

XC Short Sleeve £30, XC Long Sleeve £32.40, Freeride Short Sleeve £30, Freeride Long Sleeve £32.40 & Wind Cheeta Jacket £55.20.

The XC top is basically a roadie style top with 3 pockets at the rear.  This is a tighter fitting top, I have a Large, and I’m only a 36 inch chest.   The Freeride top is similar to what the downhillers wear and is more of a relaxed fit.  I’m sure it’s a v-neck too.  I can not comment on the Wind Cheeta – never seen one.

To gauge sizes, I recommend checking out their website at http://www.thecyclejersey.com/tcj-custom-jerseys.htm or asking fellow members nicely if you could try on one of their tops. 

So, it’s down to you!  We need an idea of numbers to proceed.  So, please let me know your name, top choice (your can order as many as you want) and size.  If the order falls under 20, the price takes a sharp increase starting at £38.  I’ll be buying another xc top, so only 19 to go an we get the cheaper rates.

Please let me know asap.

Cheers

Barry

T in the Park Tickets available

  By ,

Hello peeps,

I have two tickets in-hand for the Sunday 10th July available.

I’m looking for cost price only if anyone is interested?  I paid £180 for them.

I’m meant to be attending the Saturday gig,  but to be honest I might flog that too, but that’d be a single ticket.

Please get in touch if you or any of your friends are interested.

Many thanks
