Good commuter bike with 5-speed hub gears & mudgards. ?150

Good commuter/everyday bike, put together myself about three years ago, worth maybe ?600 new. Well-used, hence the price. It's a medium-size frame, suitable for riders about 5ft 8in to 6ft.


This is a bike I built myself for commuting. It's an On One Pompino alloy frame with 5-speed Sturmey-Archer hub gears, a nice Stronglight track chainset, lovely chrome riser handlebars, Shimano Deore V-brakes, full mudguards, and very puncture-resistant Schwalbe Marathon Plus types (which cost about ?60 per set alone).


It does come with flat pedals ? they're just not shown in the photo.


It was used almost daily for three-plus years, and has quite a few marks on the frame, It's also not been used for a few months and the chain is a bit slack, and probably needs to be replaced at some point.


In the longer term ? next year or so ? the rear wheel might need replacing. But the frame has horizontal dropouts with 120mm width, so easy to turn it into a single speed/fixie if you want.

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
    • Highly recommend landscape gardener Jasper Davis. Jasper designed and built me a bespoke summer house.  He also transformed my garden including natural paving/sleepers and planting. Can't recommend him enough.IMG_9568.HEIC Contact Jasper on 07966 251778
    • Is anyone  replacing their clip on buggy parasol?  Looking for a foster mum friend please
    • I don't think so, sadly. The Zenoria Street indoor market failed to take off and generally speaking traders at Christmas Fairs and Farmers Markets are reporting that it isn't worth their while now. If you go to North Cross Road, the vast majority of visitors are only buying the street food! It was the same when I went to the Horniman Sunday market and second hand market yesterday. With the lack of footfall I couldn't understand how any of the traders could be making any money.
