Probably the best off the peg touring bikes available

Think I have an unused still in box 12-21 somewhere. That's a bit smaller than what you specified but let me know if you want me to unearth it

You've really underpriced this. Personally, I'd pull the post and have a rethink

Psychological not physiological?

Mine too. But only the left one ??

Not surprised. You've really underpriced these and someone scored a winner

Keep it quiet, you may get jailed for being a spy

You could argue an older bike doesn't need support. Parts are fairly generic. Any basic shop or DIY enthusiast can repair it. What extra support is necessary? Joe Public isn't as special as us and doesn't need to know that the head angle on a 54 is 72° but on a 56 is 73°

That stem is set dangerously high

The catalogue shot says 531 butted frame tubes, so I would say 27.2mm. 531 plain gauge would be different (26.4??). What makes you doubt 27.2?

Happy to meet up in say Endcliffe park at some point if it suits. I'm in-between having sold my car and not yet having replaced it and don't fancy riding up to yours. We can work out the detail by PM, as you say

Stop confusing things 😉

Yes, it doesn't specify. I've no bars to test it and don't own any delicate measuring equipment

I've got a Cinelli XA in 120 in nice condition. But I can't tell if it's a 26.0 or 26.4 clamp. Online information suggests they were made in both.

Ok, it seems I wasn't clear. Advance apologies if I now sound patronising (i'm trying not to be, but want to be clear). Let's assume you currently have a 13-28 7 speed cassette and want to replicate this. Buy a 8 speed 12-28. Then discard the 12 sprocket and you now have 7 cogs 13-28 but...

Yes, you might have to pack it out with a washer. But the spline arrangement will fit. Spacers are minimal cost. I was trying to suggest a quick n easy fix

1. you can still fit a '8 speed' cassette on your wheels - but only use 7 of them. So, 7 cogs with 8 speed spacing. 2. shimano rear derailleurs were interchangeable. So, in theory you could use anything from the 5 - 10 speed eras and the indexing will work. As you work up to 9 and 10 speeds...

To a non cyclist they might find questions we feel important as being over-fussy and then see us as pedantic, awkward buyers. After all, to them, there are only 3 types of bike - child's bike, penny farthing and adult bike. Their view is - it's an adults bike, if the price/condition tradeoff is...
