No 'designs that shouldn't work but do' is complete without the magician Graham O'Bree 😉 Superman position

My local Decathlon has got a full wall of Park tools, and they know how to spanner 'em!

That Brooks Pro saddle so fits the design!

I think upthread got it right, the fees for sellers are getting out of hand and the only way to mitigate that is to ask more for the item and the postage. Its only ebay who wins in this scenario.

They took a properly stuck seat post out for me for 35 of your currency units, which was very decent as the lbs wanted 80... I've heard the local Decathlon is doing very comprehensive service for a very reasonable amount. I'm not doing down the lbs, but sometimes they can be a bit too greedy for...

Our local Halfords are actually pretty savvy: perhaps because the manager is a 100 mile a day guy at weekends! He's told me that at least one mechanic in the stores nationwide has been Shimano certified for disk brake maintenance and Di2 proficiency. That's a big step up from the Halfords of old...

Logos mostly intact, shifting good and solid, rubber hoods A-OK. £90 Reduced to £85 now 80

By bike shop, I mean a proper lbs, a guy with dirt under his fingernails and a permanent sarcastic expression!

I would say maybe it's a job for the bike shop though, easy to make a mess of the frame if inexperienced

Yes, thats a good point. Hiding the actual accepted offer keeps the pot on the boil and the sold price artificially high. Great for ebay revenue, not so much for everyone else

£300 to get it out the spare room! It's a Colnago!

Feck me that's 141mph...! Bonkers

This, believe it or not is a Diamond Back.!

Sironval recumbent France 1936

If you stick this on LFGSS forum it'll be gone in seconds. They snap up fixies like catnip 😉

Something for the weekend? Reduced to 320

That's a bargain. The track pedals, chainset and wheels are easy worth the asking price.

We had a tech salvage place near us for a while, I think it's gone now. People who worked there were mostly voluntary or on 'schemes', the stuff that passed through the place was incredible : Dell Servers stuffed full of Xeons and masses of ram, HP plotters and large format printers, top end...
