Bianchi carbon chainset
This would be a fine chainset, barring an issue with the non driveside crank. This is due to the pedal thread insert giving some play. The previous owner contacted Bianchi to be advised that carbon resin bonding (I can see he's tried this) sometimes secures inserts that have taken a knock causing play, but there's still play:( As such, I'm selling the chainset as spares or repair, but this would make an excellent chainset if you can find a Bianchi non-ds crank, or want a super stiff/stylish/light carbon set of cranks, with the non-ds one being any spare 175mm carbon crank. And even if you only want them for the Campag chainrings, keeping the cranks as ornaments, you've a good buy:) Cranks and chainrings in very good cosmetic condition, and chainrings are starting to show wear but will still give many years usage. Threads all good. £12
Syncros track stem
This stem is 1" steerer fitting and for 25.4mm bars. Stem down sloping angle is a pretty severe, track type one, but I couldn't advise what degree it is. Condition pretty nice, bar the fact that logos on both sides have almost completely rubbed away. £8
MAXX BMX type seatpost clamp
From memory it's 25.4mm seatpost fitting, but I'll have to check on this. Looks pretty much new. £1
KMC BMX/freestyle chain
96 links left, so hardly cut down. Design described on the box as super fat:) 1/2" x 3/16". Chain almost new, fitted but not used. £5
M Brev grips
Not cut down, although there's a tear in the end of one from attaching a fitment to the bar end. Can't see any real wear. Very purple:) £2
Shimano Altus front mech
Down pull design. For double chainrings. Haven't got a clue what this fits onto:) Maybe some kind of MTB? Can't see any wear on it besides where it was fitted to the frame/whatever. £3
Shimano 100GS brake levers and shifter
IMO these have a real 80s retro look to them. They're low end, but if they look right with the kit on your frame... Only the front mech shifter's included, can't find the rear one. This shifter appears to be for double chainring shifting only. It's a little gunked up with old grease so I will flush it with WD40 before its sold. Levers and shifter are mechanically sound, with all parts included and adjusting bolts moving freely. All parts show scuffs here and there, and the right hand lever end has scraped a wall which removed the tip of the plastic coating. Shifter is for the front mech. £7
SDG Bel-Air ST I-beam saddle
This is in excellent condition, no signs of use visible besides a scrape on the back. I-beam seatposts can still be bought new for this design. £12
Look 80s clipless pedals
These are a pair of very early Look clipless pedals. Mechanically, these are fine and spin freely with no play and feel to the hand to have been regreased at some point not too long ago. But cosmetically, they're showing their age, with the paintwork showing a fair few scratches and chips. £7
