Pair of Mavic GP4 (Red Label) 36h Tubular Rims - Dark anodising - 70's / 80's - Only used on track - FORUM DONATION

Hi all,

I have this spare set of Mavic GP4 tubular rims.

These were considered as "high end" back in the 1970's - Early 1980's.

36 holes, eyelets, so they are very strong and durable.

They have only been used on the track so no wear to the braking surface, but some glue residue and light scuffing linked to storage / usage. So not NOS unfortunately but a presentable set of rims.

They also bear "HAND BUILT IN DERBY BY MERCIAN" stickers so could be used for a Mercian project.

Yours for a forum donation of your choice.

Pick up only from New Cross.

I would take these if you would post ?

Nice trolling

Pick up only from New Cross.

👍 kinda why I said if you would !!

Sounds like a good man @Vince go for it

Ah, you're not trolling.

I am giving them away for free effectively, I am not wanting to post them.

Here is a mild rant, if I could be bothered posting:

Those rims are worth around £20 per rim on eBay in decent used condition.
Depending on time of year / demand / international postage options, it is realistic to achieve £50 for the pair of rims on eBay as they have no wear to the braking surface and would make a lovely, period correct wheelset.
I would charge around £20 for packing & postage (and recouping some of the fees) on eBay as it would need to be insured and MyHermes would 100% damage them.
Total would come to £70, minus 10% eBay fees, minus 5% PayPal fees = £59.50 after fees.
Minus £12 of true postage costs = £47.50 net money in my pocket.

Ok , so take it postage isn’t a option and it wasn’t an in tension to troll at all . Was just a lovely set of rims that I would of loved to have built to one of my projects . Someone will have a great set of rims there . Thanks anyway and I’m sure there make someone happy

Please let me know if you change your mind on posting them.

Sorry if I came across arsy.

No postage.

But by all means, if you know someone local who is willing to pick up, I would be happy to give them them rims.

In order to save on postage, I could cut the rims into 4 equal sections so the box would be smaller.

You would then need to weld them back together - quite an easy task.

;-)

No worries vince no offence taken at all . It’s a pain in the arse to post I accept that . Just they are a set of lovely rims. Anyhow stay safe through this virus and cheers . Regards ashley

Tell us the truth Vince, you are only doing this to show us your lovely ex gym flooring :) On a serious note dibs these, sending someone to pick up, how urgent is it for you?

Ah! I have a spare 6sqm of flooring if you are interested in that ;-)

They are hooked in the attic so no rush.

Keep in touch!
