• Looking to build up an old mountain frame to replace partner's stolen commuter (Boooooo!)

    Spacing on frame is 130 in steel, so 7 speed...? Also open to squeezing in something newer.
    Update: or 9 or 10 spd road?

    Looking for:

    • partial groupset (front, rear, shifters, cranks, bb). Maybe something like old XT?
    • wheels— rim brake, 26
    • flat pedals
    • fenders to fit 26's
    • a rear rack
    • big smooth tyres

    The cheaper the better, what've you got?
    Based in London.

  • Got a tubus fly rack you can have for £25. Silver.

  • I've got a rear wheel with cassette that suits.

    Edit: and pedals

  • Got a few things that you might want - selling as a lot though as I don't need the frameset!

    PM me if you're interested at all, willing to move on price to shift it all.

  • PM'd all, thanks!

    Keep em coming!

  • I have a pair of budget wheels. Black rims and spokes, black Shimano hubs, rear is spaced 130.

    These ones but no tyres or cassette:

    £25 collected? I'm out in the west 'burbs, could meet you at Staines or Teddington stations.

  • I have some plastic sks guards, 26", will fit over 2.1 tyres. A bit of a wobble on the back one but still functional, I just wanted an upgrade....

    Also have a rack suitable for a beater.

  • Also would be interested in 9 or 10-spd road group

  • Thanks for the offer, i'll keep looking for the moment

  • Have rival shifters, front mech and rear mech and Rotor cranks £200 the lot in Very Good Condition.

  • hmm, it's gonna be a flat bar, with rim brakes. What about front and rear mech and cranks?

  • Not sure if they're your thing but I have a couple of bits.

    I've got a Truvatic XO double 10 speed chainset. It's come off my CX bike but essentially it's an MTB chainset. Rings are 42/36 though I can't see it at the moment but I can confirm. I've also got a SRAM Rival front mech, also from the CX bike.

    Photos are available if required. I'd probably be looking for £20 for the chainset and £5 for the front mech.

    Thanks.

  • May be interested—what sort of bottom bracket is it? I've been trying to wrap my head around how to convert an old MTB to BB30 etc etc.

  • It's a standard GXP.

  • Hey, I've got SRAM 10s front and rear mechs, and some flat bar shifters if that's the kinda thing you're after?

    EDIT: I'm about 70% sure it's all Force

  • Anyone have a spare BSA to GXP bottom bracket they're tired of having around?
