OK, so the clearout is coming into its final straight. All the stuff that "I'm bound to use" is being cleared out, plus a few bits from a buddy that's also having a clear out.
Everything is collection at lunchtime (12-2) or pre/post office hours in Euston/West End, or other times in Putney. If that's a problem I can run stuff round to most of Zones 1 & 2 by arrangement or post if I have to (but I'd rather not). Postage is at cost rounded up to the nearest pound plus a bit extra to cover Paypal fees.
All prices are a bit below Ebay, so this should (in theory) be the cheapest you can find this stuff. Especially in this condition.
Selle San Marco Concor Supercorsa saddle (black suede) - £25
A classically elegant saddle from cycling's golden age. I won this in the Fixed Mag issue 4 alleycat, used it on my track bike for a bit and since changing my riding position have fallen out of love with it. I should probably change my seatpost for something with a bit more adjustment and fall in love with this again, but as I had a spare saddle lying around I decided to go for the cheaper option of sticking with my current seatpost, using something from the spares box and selling this.
Condition is decent as it's probably only done 500km - no wrips or bad scuffs, just a bit of a patina (but that just adds to the charm). The suede is coming unstuck underneath, but it's nothing that £2 of superglue won't sort out.
Catlike Mixino (Large 58/60cm) - £60
Selling for a friend and I'm pretty sure it's unused. Comes with its little bag.
As new, looks cool, would cost you £150 or so in a shop. I'm not sure what else there is to say.
Fizik R3 (size 45) + Speedplay Zeros - £75
Again, selling for a friend and again, I'm not sure if these have really been used. They sole is basically immaculate and I think that the marks on the shoes are a bit of grease from the pedals being in the same bag as them. I quick once over with a baby wipe and you've got a pair of new shoes.
Pedals actually show some wear, which means they must be about the only bit on my friends' bike that he didn't upgrade every six months. Even though these show some signs of use, they'll have had a charmed life so there is still a LOT of life left in them. Cleats are looking good too.
Kryptonite Fahgettaboutit mini U-lock - £40
The legend.
Very clean, a full compliment of keys plus the little bit of aluminium with the key re-order code on it. I don't think that there's much more to say frankly.
Cateye Opticube EL625RC - £20
Another one I'm selling for a friend.
Insanely bright (600 lumen!) USB rechargeable light. £80 new, barely used. Comes with a spare thing (although, to be honest, I'm not 100% sure it's meant for this light).
No risk of SMIDSY with this thing on your bars.
TMR imprint grips - £5
A nice idea, but these haven't made it onto a bike yet and I can't see it happening any time soon. Plus I appear to be accumulating grips at an alarming rate so I'm not going to stock pile the things.
