Ben doesnt want the 6800, so 'happy' to sell as whole bike if anyone is interested.....

Would also consider swapping for a large hardtail

These are 50mm right? Basalt brake track or normal 'hold on to your butts' carbon brake track? How much are you thinking? This is quite speculative for my bike but will be useful information in general.

Aaah Mr Rubb

• 50mm
  
• Track is good, but not an igneous rock
  
• 10s atm, but can come with an 11speed hub and three, yes, three sets of spokes.
  
  

£250

my back is now in acceptable condition

Would a bouncy bike not help to prevent this happening again? It is rather bumpy where you live

Neil might have one for sale soon...

Yes it would, I'm looking at bouncy bikes.

Which one of Neils, I have lost track....

Which one of Neils

The expensive one that he asked 1,000,000 questions about

The expensive one

Unless that middle word changes I doubt it will be in my budget!!

I'm going to break the Lairy Rourke down as I need to raise funds

I will consider selling the frame

@hp93

Ok

Reluctant, but 'necessary' sale! I really like this bike but cant justify keeping it when, its a tiny bit to small and I have the Talbot Spacebiek on the way up here from London's famous London

I would like to split it, as I'm greedy

Frame - 653, Washo built with lairy paint in decent condition with a few marks and chips, but as its been well used by the OG owner since '93, its really very good. I have also given it some love with the magic eraser. The frame comes with

• Matching frame pump with sun/time fade. I serviced the pump and it works well
  
• A red bottle cage and also a neon matching cage, which has a small crack in the plastic mount but could be fixed very easily
  
• 3TT Stem, Zoom Seat post and 3TTT bars. The stem was stuck when I got the frame but it does move now and I haven't paid it any attention because it was just about the right length for me.
  
  

I'd like £450 ono, which might be punchy, but if I sell everything else and I'm about £400ish off the MTB price, I can live with that and hang it on the wall

(exact size to follow, but its 58/58 CTT approx)

Wheels - 50mm deep sections. Halo hubs to (what look like) no name carbon rims that have not seen a lot of use, light wear on brake tracks. Sapim spokes 24/24. The rear hub is currently 10s, but I will throw in a nearly new 11s Bitex hub and three, yes three sets of spokes. I was going to rebuild the rear as 11s, but not to be. The rear could do with a quick true, but nothing major. Wheels come with rim tape, but not tyres, tubes, SQRs or the cassette. I would like £250 ono for these.

6800 Groupset - Bought on here, bit tired but does the job. I've added a new chain into the mix since. Comes as complete set so Shifters, chainset, chain, cassette, FD, RD, brakes & BB (68mm British). I can also lob in the month old Jagwire cables as well. No pedals I would like £200 ono

Will leave it here for a few days before moving it to classifieds

I also have a shitload of vintage Campag stuff to offload, that I really should start to get out of the loft. NR mainly, so message if you are after something in the meantime.

Its in Edinburgh, but happy to post and I may be coming down again in Sept, so might be able to work out a classic KGX handover.

cheers

Rob

These wheels.
How scary are they to brake on?

quite a lot of dew at dad o clock

Tell us more about the MTB plan.

I'm not a dad o clock rider really. I can't handle it.
Actually. Does a bike need 50mm deep carbon for Zwift?

Fine

I'm 16st and stopped everytime without using bushes, walls or cars

Top of the list atm is a YT Izzo

But cons are that, its not an Isen and it wont come until Nov. So if I do pump for it, I will need to find/borrow something to practice on

YT Izzo

shit thats good! I always wondered why you werent into MTB living in Scotland but Ben told me your strathpuffer story :(

Strathpuffer is enough to put anyone off MTBing

I'm not a dad o clock rider really. I can't handle it.

Can confirm. 8 am is too early for post ride beers too.

I live in such an odd space.
Too tired to train at 5 am. Too sensible to drink at 8 am.

Christ I wish I was taller with a bigger house, oh and more money - that's lush.

But cons are that, its not an Isen

They do sell those sticker kits

Puffer is fine, I mean its awful but I enjoy it, even if I did have an icey sleep that onetime

MTB'ing is great and when I lived near Pitlochry I learnt A LOT, quickly, often OTB.

But then I got knocked off twice in two days in London, smashed my back up and have spent 12months getting it back in some kind of shape. The advice was not to MTB, so i sold the Tarn so as not to be tempted :)

very true

Rourke frame plus extras £250 for today
