They're perfect and I made the exchange good with the standard CCE token of two beers (Williams Brothers Seven Giraffes since you ask - high quality, easy drinking suits all tastes ale). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330981 Sat, 30 May 2020 07:01:51 +0000 gembo 330981@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@acsimpson, maybe, but that might be a bit like playing @baldycyclict’s wife’s sister’s husband’s father game (nice that he buys this person a birthday card though innit) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330977 Fri, 29 May 2020 23:36:02 +0000 acsimpson 330977@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They may value privacy, but I suspect of you have enough time to trawl CCE you could work out who it is. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330958 Fri, 29 May 2020 18:36:48 +0000 gembo 330958@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@greenroofer, your buyer does value their privacy </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330955 Fri, 29 May 2020 18:08:52 +0000 Greenroofer 330955@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Now handed over. Thank you for your interest. In the slightly incestuous world that is the shadowy Edinburgh Cycling Mafia, it was collected by someone on behalf of the original requestor who (a) lives a few doors down from me (b) has a daughter who was in the same class at school as micro-Greenroofer and (c) came out to my work to explore proposals for a closer working relationship between our BUG and his organisation. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330681 Tue, 26 May 2020 16:58:51 +0000 Greenroofer 330681@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks all - I think the order of the queue is:<br /> 1) The person who PM'd me straight away but hasn't made themselves known on this thread.<br /> 2) @urchaidh<br /> 3) @SRD<br /> 4) @acsimpson [although I do hope that who gets it does pass it on to @acsimpson in due course]</p> <p>To answer the acsimpson question, it's quite old. It's exactly the same model as the one in the Bike Radar review I posted a link to, and that dates from 2007... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330636 Tue, 26 May 2020 09:41:16 +0000 acsimpson 330636@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If others are interested then don't keep it for me. We already have a next bike space problem in our garage. Although if whoever gets it thinks of me when they get rid of it I'd be grateful. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330631 Tue, 26 May 2020 09:25:15 +0000 SRD 330631@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>likewise (but i think my youngest will probably go straight from his 24" to the well-ridden luath 700 small - also a hand-me-down from a CCE-er) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330622 Tue, 26 May 2020 08:05:52 +0000 urchaidh 330622@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd be very interested if @acsimpson passes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330618 Tue, 26 May 2020 01:46:32 +0000 acsimpson 330618@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How old is the bike? I may be interested but would need to work out how to store it for a while as he's a little short for now.</p> <p>Is the sizing the same as the current model? ie min height 138 rather than 148. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330614 Mon, 25 May 2020 21:53:05 +0000 Greenroofer 330614@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>P.S.In case you were wondering: <a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Beausage">definition of <em>beausage</em></a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20223#post-330613 Mon, 25 May 2020 21:50:12 +0000 Greenroofer 330613@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a well-used <a href="https://www.islabikes.co.uk/product/bikes/luath/">Islabikes Luath 26</a> for sale. This is their road/cross bike, with drop bars. Suit a child 9+. £50.</p> <p>It's an earlier model than on the Islabikes website. It's actually <a href="https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/bikes/kids-bikes/luath-26in-road-bike-review/">this one</a>: the frame is overall metallic gunmetal grey with blue cross bar and down tube. It's got full mudguards and Schwalbe Marathon tyres.</p> <p>Since I had it, I've replaced the bar tape, the cables and the brake blocks.</p> <p>They are £700 new, but this one is not a suspicious bargain for £50: it's a fair price for the condition. I have seen a picture of its previous owner riding it up Mt Ventoux and it has had <em>a lot</em> of miles in its life. The frame is straight and the wheels are true and everything works, but the paint shows the chips and scratches you'd expect. There is beausage wear on the saddle and on the frame from pedalling.</p> <p>If there is someone in your life "Approx min age 9+, approx min height 148 cm" who would like a drop-barred bike Islabike that you don't need to worry about, then this might be the one for you.</p> <p>Available for socially-distanced collection from Morningisde. PM me if you're interested. </p>
