Orient Express - Cheap Chinese Rims / Wheels / Forks / Frames / Cranks / Etc

True! Just feels like once a seatpost is fitted and seems to be working, it's less liable to get bashed into things, suffer if you crash and so forth, as bars are.

Carbon bars don't seem to offer much advantage over significantly cheaper alu bars, but potentially introduce some risks.

Anyone got any leads for a moody Dolan Seta?

I dunno if you've bought some already but Decathlon sell nice n wide carbon low risers for 30 quid. I've put mine through some shit and they're still great

They're only 31.8 from what I can see. Finding 25.4 carbon risers seems a fair bit rarer. They look a decent deal though

ah sorry didn't realise you needed some in 25.4! glw searching

Any source for cheap plastic toe clips?

Aren't they only a few quid on eBay/any bike shop? Hardly seems worth a 6 week wait.

The shops around town only seem to have them in hot pink or neon green in stock. Not exactly what I'm looking for ;)

You're not after neon green ones?

Do you mean these, or am I just being really stupid?

If so, http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xplastic+toe+clip.TRS0&_nkw=plastic+toe+clips&_sacat=0

Trying to keep it monochrome ;)

I rather meant clips like these

Any Chomsons Elite Layback in 31.6, that someone can link me to.

super happy with how my light-bicycle rims came out. (laced to tune hubs)

32h King and Kong hubs? Which type of LB are those? Looks good - I'm planning something similar for my gravel bike.

yep exactly that.

32h, UD gloss, disc specific, clincher. although it seems they have added a 36mm deep 28mm wide rim to their roster now too - that wasnt available when I ordered before christmas, might have gone for that one if it was available.. unsure how necessary it is to go that wide ha

apologies for the spam, but I've a set of USE Atom riser bars I was going to use on my Brompton but I've just sold it - any good to you?

Oooh possibly. Not actually got round to ordering the bars I linked yet. What price and diameter?

25.4, dunno - £30? I'll take some photos and measure the width if that matters to you?

just heads up, Aliexpress 7th anniversary sales starts in 5 days

With all that carbon on AliX I'm surprised there's no-one doing reasonably priced bike boxes.
Or am I missing something?

There's a few out there but not exactly much of a saving over a RRP here.
I did, however, just find these.

Has anyone tried the 1" Hylix carbon fork on ebay? Almost seem too cheap ..

Not really sure why they come with half a headset unless it's an integrated crown race.
