This could be a bargain assuming the components aren't knackered.

Usual disclaimers (don't know the seller blah blah blah) apply.

Goo, cheers for posting that link to the Zipvit stuff. Been meaning to give one of those wee goody boxes a go for ages and just had not got around to doing so.

Just ordered one from yer link. Ta. :biggrin:

Just spoke to him, sounds positive but only the hubs and shifters are 105, the rest is 600 but he reckons it's worth every penny. He's done (or had work done) all of it himself from frame up, selling due to loss of job. It's a raleigh viking frame with the downtube shifters removed, all double butted. Serviced 3 months ago, new tyres. Do you reckon it's still worth it?

Soakey. Sounds more like a reasonable price rather than a bargain.

Just replied to your PM but I see you've already asked on the forum.:sad:

Decided against it; I have another year of pushing round my heavy hybrid before I can afford to get a road bike on C2W, should be worth the wait though, I'll end up with something more modern, with less wear and be able to pick the frame size to suit me.
 
Probikekit are doing craft socks, 3 for 2 for £6.11 so I got myself a few pairs.

Thanks for the heads up, I told my mum she could get one for my Christmas at £49.99. She just phoned to say its arrived.

Most good bargains are only limited sizes that one wasn't :biggrin:

You'll love the jacket HLaB, I've got 2 now. Still too warm to wear them, but will be great for autumn and winter.

this is such a bargain, I'm amazed all the sizes are still available - top notch garment and retailing for over £100 everywhere else. I would find it hard to pay £100 for a jacket, but at this price its a steal.

Sizing a bit snug - I usually wear a L but an XL here is a good fit, and as mentioned - recommended for colder temps, <10 degrees .
