  • Want me to keep an eye out? Or are you after relatively high end 1x7 parts? I have a couple 7-speed parts but planned to rebuild the Specialized with them to sell, over a week lots of bikes end up at the scrapyard so I can keep an eye out for useful 7S parts that I can hawk you for a low price. MTB or Road setup? Rapid fires, thumb shifters? Wheels are a pain to post.

  • If you’ve got a good steady supply of 7sp d appreciate an eye out!

    No need for high end, happy with lx-ish quality. Def rather do a mtb setup than road. Rapid fire ideally. Comfortable working on older shimano but never done a 1x setup before so unsure where to start with chainset/bb..

  • I’ll keep an eye out. If you’re in a rush don’t wait for me. It’s hit and miss what gets thrown away. A few weeks ago the pile was huge, this week so far only one and a half bikes.

  • Why not just get some used 10 speed stuff? 7 speed 1x may be a pita in terms of chain drop. are you planning on running a keeper of some sort? I ran 1 x 6, then 7 then 8 and finally 10. Even without a clutch mech, and using a badly worn NW, haven’t dropped the chain since building. Dropped chain regularly on the other setups. That and wider range of gears, better shift all adds up.
