SRAM Force groupset and misc other stuff good home wanted

I was rummaging through my box of odd stuff for a valve core this morning when I realised I had too much odd stuff. So here it is where it could become something useful for you at a knock-down price - if you want anything then either respond on here or email me at phil.bixby@googlemail.com. Here we ...

CycleOps Mag Turbo Trainer

My CycleOps Mag trainer is up for grabs - *really* simple magnetic resistance which progressively increases with speed. No remote adjustments, no nothing - simply gets harder as you pedal harder, so you use your gears to ramp up the effort. Comes with a front wheel plastic levelling thing, and a ...

Re: Cervelo S5 for sale...

*Price drop!* - now reduced by £200 to £1950.

I took it in to Cycleworks to get the dimensions taken off it and they peered at it with big saucer eyes and said "are you sure you really want to sell it?" Yes I do - please take it off my hands and then get out there with a number on your back ...

Cervelo S5 for sale...

Having stopped racing a few years back I’m selling my S5 so it can be used for what it’s best at.

Built up myself with components I chose carefully, and in very good condition – only a couple of very superficial scuffs. 2013 model in 51cm size black / silver, with 3T Aeronova bars, 12cm 3T stem ...

Cervelo S5 coming up for sale, here and where else please?

Hi folks - this is a bit of advance notice plus a request for advice.

I'm going to be selling my Cervelo S5 soon - lovely and relatively comfy though it is, it's really a race bike and is set up for it with SRM powermeter and general attention to aero detail, and I'd rather it was being used by ...

Re: Thank you

Belatedly spotted this - I'm not here much either these days!

Really pleased to hear about your high-profile role in the sport - it really illustrates that cycling's big enough to offer all sorts of ways of getting in on the action alongside putting a number on your back. You were always a very ...

Cycling on film at the Everyman

Those of you with very long memories may recall back in 2014 we did an event at City Screen around the then-embryonic David Millar Project movie - a screening of raw film footage, the trailer, and a Q&A with director Finlay Pretsell. It's the nature of feature film-making that four years can pass ...

Re: Clifton Road Race Day Sunday 11 June 2017

Well, I'll have to claim 13th or thereabouts for getting my thanks in - a poor performance after some previous top placings but put it down to work overload!

Many, many thanks to marshals Dave C, Julia, Craig, Paul Drabble and Peter Hook who did a fine job with the Traffic Management crew, and ...

Re: Clifton Road Race Day Sunday 11 June 2017

I should point out, Ben, that this means you'll be finished driving duties at the same time Jamie Sharp finishes, namely around ten fifteen so you'll have lots of time to warm up for the afternoon race :roll:

One more bump.... :)

The morning vets race now has volunteer marshals to work with the traffic management staff on each of the junctions - many thanks to all of you, and hopefully you'll enjoy your morning in the sunshine. I've employed two additional traffic management operatives for flag-waving ...
