Free job lots (Handlebars, Stems, Saddles, Derailleurs and gearing) // Thorn Frame // FW Evans Touring frame // Cheap track frame

Hi all,

Turns out I'll probably never need 7 derailleurs, 6 different types of handlebars, and probably any of the other things I've been hoarding, which has intensified in the past year as I've found myself with a cellar.

In a bid to make space and, more importantly, have less things, I'm offering a lot of things for free and cheap.

First up, 4 job lots - all free // no splits:

1.Handlebars - includes 40cm nitto randonneurs, ITM drops, ergo drops, deda chopped bullhorns, risers and swept back bars

2.Derailleurs brakes and gearing, including a complete headset - lots of mid- to low-end shimano derailleurs, as well as Avid shorty 6 cantilevers and tonnes of (mainly rear) caliper brakes

3.Stems - mix of ahead and quill, including some nice ITM quills, and a decent and useful high-rise black quill stem with cable routing

4.Saddles and a seatpost - 1 crappy old mtb saddle, 1 brown leather charge spoon, and a 27.2 seatpost

Please take these off my hands - they will be in a skip in a week.

Otherwise:

1. Cracked LOVELY Thorn frame Size = tiny
Has a cracked down tube and will need repairing. Gorgeous frame, insanely light, takes 26" wheels, plenty of mounts and eyelets. I think it's around 48/50 cm - very tiny. 531 too [FREE]
2. FW Evans frame Size = 55cm tt, 50cm st (I think, will confirm if there's interest)
Thoroughly nice and decent touring frame - apparently one of the first to come out of the factory, but if you were trying to make a sale, you would say that, wouldn't you?
Used for one mediocre and short tour and the occasional commute. Has a bit of interesting thing going on with the forks - it's a 1" threaded fork that has been fitted with a star nut and an 1" aheadset. The whole front end is a bit stiff and probably needs dismantling and probably a new headset fitted, though I'd just buy a cheap touring fork off of ebay and go back to threaded. Otherwise just rusty and beaten, but no dents. £30
3. Enrique Ali track frame Think its about 54cm square - will check if there's interest *
Nice track frame, fitted with Stronglight A9 headset which needs a grease and function bottom bracket. Belongs to a mate who stopped riding it because he thought it was cracked. It isn't and he's a numpty. Was then ridden by my Ex. Nice clearances, Argentinian made lugged frame. Decently light. VERY VERY RUSTY.
Will definitely need shot blasting. I think all the tubes will be fine, but comes with the guarantee that if after all the rust is removed, the frame is unusable due to rust, you can have all your money back. £60

I've got more things, but let's start with these.

I live in Leyton and work in Somerset House. Happy to bring this into central or meet along my commute - I go Olympic Park - Hackney Wick - Viccy Park - Whitechapel - the Moon - Somerset House

Please take these off my hands! I have pictures of these things, but had loads of issue with both imgur and forum hosting, so PM and I will send pictures along.

Will consider swaps for decent mtb flap-pedals

Job lots are gone, frames are still available

Nice to meet you @vilms5000, hope the bike works out for your partner! Thorn is still around if anyone fancies a project!

Hello : )
Thanks again for the frame. I’ve done a quick “throw parts at it” and I think we’re in business! It’s exactly what I was hoping for.

That Thorn meanwhile: Damn. If I had the skills and kit...
