Miscellaneous & Meaningless: Gumtree/eBay Finds
Bottom of Page-
There's a lever and a button. The left shifter is: lever=up, button=down. The right shifter is lever=down, button=up. It's a fantastic way of shifting. When you need to respond to an attack (because we're all racers here) it's exceptionally easy to knock up the rear cassette a few gears.

Exactly...

Weird how they are reversed.
When you say button I guess you are meaning the sticky outy thing on the inside of the shifters hood?

yup

euan:Weird how they are reversed.
Pushing the lever always moves the chain on to a larger cog. Pushing the button always releases some cable, moving the chain to a smaller cog. These processes just have a different effect on the gearing.

Aye yeah. Didn't think about it that way did I?

yeh I would say thats about right

There's a review of Di2 in this weeks cycling weekly.
-
Do they say yay or nae?
-
It's a resounding yay. What's more, they say you should run out and buy the Focus Izalco DI2 because once you subtract the price of the groupset you're getting the rest of the bike for about £800.

Crazy stuff.

dolan for big lads. in liverpool tho -
JC could bring it home with him?
and another hardly ridden? 58cm. was someone on here not looking for a white alu frame a few weeks ago?
-
-
As they say in that London "slack chain".
-
He's even explained in the listing why the chain is slack. New wheels with no cog on the back yet.

Dura Ace cranks on there. Tasty. Look pedals too. Could go on the road bike.

Ah, I was just looking at the pictures.

I was thinking about buying it to part :S

euan:I was thinking about buying it to part :S
I'd take the wheels miby
-
I'd buy the pedals. They look like Kéo Easy.
-
I was after the wheels.
-
I guess I'm the only one the frame would fit. Dunno If i Could be bothered trying to sell the pista though
-
Could just sell off the frame. You'd probably get an alright amount of money for it. Maybe not as much as you'd want because of the cost of the Chris King headset.

It's the largest size they do, it's quite scratched up, the forks don't really match the frame. I could switch the headset out and sell the king seperately but to be honest I'm not sure it would be worth it. The frame is okish, Dunno if the dolan would be that much better

keep the frame and proper run it into the ground beater/polo bike.

You make a few good points. Maybe best just to hold on to the Bianchi and wait for a nice frame to turn up.

Hmm smallest cog is 13, though i guess i could work quite well seing as ive gone not gone for a compact this time round....

I thought was going to go cheap but i think it'll still go for a pretty normal price. They're about £35 new so there's not much saving to be made unless it stays under £20. I'd say just get a new one off eBay. A new cassette and chain are the least you can treat your geared bike to.
