After much consideration and numerous attempts at riding some sort of distance I think it's time to retire from cycling.
Without going into the gruesome details a couple of years ago I had to have an emergency op on my nether regions, ambulances the lot. This has left even wearing padded shorts uncomfortable let alone riding a bike.
so, my whole kit and bike is going. If anyone wants to make reasonable offers for the following..
Merlin Cordite Ultegra with Deda zero stem and s/post, Newton bars, Prologo saddle, Look pedals. Size 56cm.

Sorry to hear you have to give up cycling. I hope you find something else to fill the void.

Thanks very much. Guitars and mountains should keep me occupied.

Just got in to find our bikes have been stolen from our back garden. Spitting feathers. Both on bikeregister so hopefully we might see them again. Any tips on where to look if they're being sold on line.

Fucking shitbags. Try the local buy and sell Facebook sites, local boot fairs if there are any round your way on a Saturday morning, Gumtree and the local cash converters for starters. Unless they're high value and nicked to order, they'll generally be punted on for 50 quid to other local cum-rags by the local cum-rags who nicked them
Good luck finding them. Anyone nicked my bike I'd gladly do time for battering them to death
Was so annoyed about lee i went and bought a mountain bike on ebay.
Now i have lee, an angry gf, and a bloke on ebay wanting his money.
Top work,
When we got relegated from the Premier I went out supposedly to look at bathrooms and came back with a 911 (and no bathroom), the wife's just about forgiven me.

I decided to keep the peace at home and incur the wrath of ebay instead (it was a shop and an accepted offer through a message so I don't feel that bad)
Started cycling in May, just had a lovely three days cycling with 9 mates along the Loire from Orleans to Saumur. Wish I had started years ago
It's amazing how good it feels. Keeps you fit as well. Can't remember a ride where I've thought 'I don't like this' - even in horrendous weather I'd still rather be on my bike than doing anything else

The police just got in touch. They think they habe my bike!!!
Which is brilliant if true.
So I'm very pleased. Except that I've just spent £900 on a new bike.

Nothing wrong with that. Everyone knows that the optimum number of bikes you should own is one more than you have.

N+1 - the universal rule. That's great news @iainment
I didn't watch it personally but I've seen quite a backlash to a documentary on Channel 5 last night about cyclists being the scourge of our streets.
Actually just seems to have served to make it less safe for cyclists.
Again - not here please. There was a load of 'buzz' about this in the lead-up - discussing it here just gives it the oxygen of publicity it doesn't deserve

Does seem like the logical place to discuss it no?
I'm interested in the opinions of it from CL members, especially fellow cyclist.
As someone that both cycles and drives a van and a car I think that Dave Sherry fella is a dick and will no doubt have someone lay him out pretty soon.

I get that - but it will inevitably lead to the trolls popping along to give their tuppenorth, and ruining what has until now been a constructive thread. Maybe start a new thread to discuss?

Look forward to this.

I need to get better security for when they come back or get replacements.
