I used to be an active member here in the late noughties, but then I moved out of London, had kids and got even fatter, so all my cycling now is geared and done very slowly. I still have a couple of fixed bikes, which I just look at.
Sadly I have to admit that I now won’t do another fixed build. Apologies that my first post here in years is a sale, but I thought I’d offer my parts box here first, as most of it was bought here. Those kids mean I don’t have time to dispatch all this stuff separately, so I’m offering it as a job lot for just £75. Yes, there's a frame and fork in here, but it's mostly parts.
Downside is you have to collect it yourself. We’re about 8 miles north of Brighton. Nearest station is Hassocks, although I’d be happy to deliver into Brighton, or meet you at Hassocks station if you’re brave enough to carry all this back to London on the chuffer.
Other downside is that you need to take ALL of it, and by the morning of Saturday 13. I need the space, I am intensely comfortable with a buyer selling on what he doesn’t need for a HUGE profit. There is most of a decent beater here, plus lots left over.

So:
Raleigh ‘lightweight division’ Delta 531 frame, 60cm, decent quality with Gipiemme dropouts but lots of surface rust from storage, most of which will clean up with some elbow grease, would make a decent beater/rat/polo bike, includes 105 headset and newish Shimano BB
Most of a vintage 105 aero blue-grey anodized groupset (late ‘80s? Came off the Delta). Aero levers, no hoods. Biopace chainset, 170mm cranks. Front and rear mechs. Index shifters, braze-on, but missing tensioner and screw on one side. Hubs in one of the wheelsest below. Well-used condition
2x Galli calipers, used but nice condition
1x Acor deep-drop (80mm) calliper, no pads
Alesa 700c wheelset on 105 hubs, cassette with spacer singlespeed adapter, virtually new Shimano 15T cog (tyres are shot)
Cheapo black rim wheelset with Assess 24h hubs, gold flip-flop rear with freewheel fitted, never used (by me, anyway, think I got them new in trade for something else)
Three seatposts, all 27.2, SR Sakae 150mm rails to insertion, Kona black 280mm, Kalloy 300mm
42cm cut-down riser bars (grips NOT included) some surface rust underneath, will polish off
90mm Biba stem
Pretty much new L+R Goldfinger levers, including shims
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
Evening all.
