weekend's perfect, how far are you willing to transport the bike for me to pick it up? it's a bit annoying that the East London Line is closed.

It's a perfect sized bike for my 5'4 girlfriend, my plan is to respray it and built it up again.

having said that, I'll come back here and post stuff that I took off the bike and give it away, the reason why I'm giving it away is because I already buying it off MJC, and it would be a bit wrong of me to try and sell every single part off the bike and make even more profit than MJC, thus everything will be free.

well, probably either a pastel pink (with either white V or green V), metallic black (with pink deep V) or summat else, it's really suppose to be a surprise of how it'll turn out.

I'm already interested in the handlebars if they're no good to you..

Once the bike is yours Ed, feel free to sell/trade/give/freecycle the various unwanted parts however your needs dictate or your heart desires.

if you don't want the bars I can change for scruffy drops that need a good clean.

my old bike was 22", it's quite small for my height (6'1) and it seemed a reasonable size for her, so one size down is probably ok.

I've just arrived back in Wimbledon.

the bike's a decent project, what really fucking annoying is that after 2 minutes of riding down old kent road, the front tyres burst! I managed to cycle all the way from New Cross Gate to South Wimbledon on the rims with the tyres protecting it a bit.

I can only apologise. I did give it a quick once over, but has been stored for a fair old while. If you'd given me a bell could have sorted you out.

oh it alright to be honest, I'm going to scrap the wheels for a decent hubs and white velocity deep V, so it's not exactly essential.

The handlebar are gonna stay despite not feeling anything on my hand after cycling 9 miles on a flat front tyres (thought managed 1 hour exactly from New Cross to South Wimbledon, so that's pretty good on a flat tyre).

I polished the handlebar up heavily, it look brand sparking new.



Gonna take it to Armourtex to get it sandblasted and powercoated.
