I’ve decided to post here as sometimes sellers of used parts put in a lot of effort behind the scenes and it goes unnoticed. In this case the seller went to lengths to explain the history, take additional photos as requested, found a convenient way to accept payment, packed the item to perfection, s...

I’ll take the ultegra triple cranks please. Will send you a pm now.

It isn't hard to recover a saddle . I use old leather jackets. One piece jobs are fine. I can't see how you can cover a saddle without there being some movement unless it is very well glued. Something like neoprene will change the shape anyway so will peobably be pointless. Much easier to just repl...

I fashioned a cover from an old pair of cycling shorts once as the saddle was eating my good bibs. It slipped around a little but actually worked well.

I can tell you that starting at more than your weight and now being ~4st less than you I have broken a lot of middle of the road bike components. Whatever you buy for your budget will requir...

What height are you?

622x 35 Schwalbe Marathon Supreme at ~80psi is very comfortable for me. I am about your weight. I have previously used 622x 35 up front and 622x 45 at the rear in Schwalbe Marathon Plus. (90psi front, 70psi rear). I run tyre clearances that others would not be comfortable with like 2mm each side of ...

Spotted a cheeky fox on Monday night. Right up beside the road.

XRF Analyser would settle it.

I was your weight and still am your height :D If you are in London you are welcome to bring my bike for a spin, I could pretty much guarantee it won’t buckle under you.
