Was that the Hylex levers/SRAM shifter I posted in the montercross thread? How much did they go for? I'm thinking about attempting to bodge together some Hylex levers and retro MTB hydraulic rim brakes. Just curious what you ended up paying for them.
Edit: dug through my comment history; it was the same set that I posted (although you might have seen it elsewhere), went for £44. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRP-Hylex-hydraulic-brake-levers-SRAM-bar-end-shifter-10-Speed-/273051191900?_trksid=p2141725.m3662.l6403 - probably a bit much for what I had in mind but definitely a bargain for an actual nice bike. Especially since they seem to be one of only two (used) sets ever sold on eBay!
Looking forward to this anyway, I wanted to buy a Salsa Vaya

Like many of you, I thought disc brakes (and drop bars) were dead, but I have seen the light.
Or rather, I found a frame that might actually fit me and is fit for purpose.
Chris King! Noodles! A £150 Exzentriker bottom bracket I don't need! Bargainz
And double thanks to the good people of the eBay finds thread, because what kind of peasant uses cable discs?
Anyway, this project is a resurrection in more ways than one, because dear seller unfortunately ground the cable guides off.
So at some point, with the help of the Norwich Men's Shed (ugh) I will be learning to weld, fixing the unfortunate modification and then it's #sickfadez o'clock
