  • I have built a bike (for my new flatmate) around the frameset I was selling (I was after £40 for it). Managed to get rid of all my blue & yellow parts, and it doesn't look bad either!

    • Columbus Aelle frameset, 56cm. Fitted a Chorus threaded headset from the spare box.
    • New UN55 BB in 112mm (£7.99)
    • Sachs New Success chainset with single ring bolts (£4.99) and 46t TA Specialities chainring. No name pedals
    • KMC black n' yellow chain (£3.49) and Atom 16t freewheel (£5). Chain tensioner from from here (£15 with singlespeed kit I ended up not using)
    • Sachs New Success stem in 130mm, can of tonic water shims and new chilled steel bars from SJS (only £7.99). New levers (only £4.99 for the pair) with a parking brake button. New grips (only £0.99)
    • wheels are Sachs New Success hubs with sealed bearings on Ambrosio Excellence at the back and Rigida at the front. Flipped the rear axle and redished the rear wheel to optimise chainline. Tyres are colour code Michelin Lithion in 23mm
      -Seatpost is no name aero with a SDG saddle.

    All in, it comes to about £180 all in which is decent for a pub beater!

  • It is actually a UN26, good spot!

    I usually bulk buy in the CRC sale so always have spare BB / brake pads / bar tape / tyres / inner tubes / cables / grips / chains for future builds.
