Having snapped the frame on my commuting bike, I've decided now is the time to move to something with discs and that means selling pretty much everything off the old bike. Pictures below, I'm sure you can work out what's what.
First off, the groupset. SRAM CX1/Force 1. 46T X-Sync front ring, 172.5mm cranks, 11-36T cassette, Uber components BB. Probably about a year's commuting (5,000 miles tops?). BB is new (it was installed the day the frame cracked), the chain is probably less than 1,000 miles old. The chainring is showing very little wear, the cassette still has a decent amount of life in it. There are some scuffs on the rear mech and brake levers from where I slid off on some ice in January, but you'd not notice them if you weren't looking.
Now keeping
The wheels: Chris King R45s (ceramic bearings!) on H Plus Son Archetypes. Still very smooth, but they're probably coming up to their service interval. The freehub has some marking, as is expected with an alloy freehub body, but it's nowhere near as bad as I've found the marking on Hopes to be, and the rims look to be no more than halfway through their usable life (front has one small flat spot from a pinch puncture on a pothole).
£450 ono
Ortlieb bags - pair of panniers in yellow tarp, and a matching yellow bar bag. Comes with the handlebar mount and a Tortec velocity rack with an LED light attached. Everything is minimal wear (apart from the rack).
£70 ono
Some Ritchey Evo curve pro bars - 440mm wide, lovely sweep to the tops. Rear ended a van riding them once, but they seem fine. Caveat Emptor though.
£10 ono
Shimano R650 brakes - deep drop (for use with mudguards, etc), dual pivot. Ultegra level but non-group. The best deep drop brakes I've tried - perfect for souping up that Steamroller or similar.
£35 ono
I'm based in Birmingham although I am in London intermittently (next time is probably 20/8). Collection is preferred as it gives you the chance to look things over before any money changes hands, although I can discuss posting at cost.
Dibs followed by a PM. Whoever I think got in first, is first, unless someone I know and like jumps the queue by messaging me on Facebook.
