FS OT: clearout - minidiscs, rapha 3/4 casual shorts, tubular wheelset, barker tan leather shoes uk9.5

I have about 15-20 used minidiscs for sale. I'm thinking £1 each but open to offers. Can post at buyers expense.

And an old minidisc player (haven't yet checked if its in working order but can do if theres interest).

I might be interested in the player if it works... (and if it's cheap : )

What have you got? Also what minidiscic player is that? interested (if portable and .gaz. isn't interested [sorry can't @ you because of the '.' in your nickname])

Photo of player and used discs:

Can't @ Gaz either @anidel

Photos show make (sony) and model. I don't have the ability to test if the removable rechargeable battery works. The player powers up OK with the DC / AC adaptor shown in photo. The player looks like it works fine - playback and buttons work including the remote shown. But i know this stuff is old and unused for a while. so lets say £20, which i'll donate to the forum in a weeks time, or return if you aren't happy.

Because it is second hand electronics - Pick up preferred - N1.

Can post minidiscs. Theres 20. Havent tested them. I'd like £15 ono

Cheers!

Whoa. Throwback. I used to have one of these. Spent many a great night recording to it for the long commute to college. Very cool.

I have the same but lack charger. So I'll grab it if @.gaz. Don't take it of course.

I can take minidisc too and we might do a shipment of all? Or could pick up next week.

Cheers! i used to enjoy minidiscs - for a (short) time it felt like the future, then mp3 arrived in our lives. I began going digital with my music collection some time ago - this accelerated after a good friend left his entire CD collection in the back of a taxi after a long night DJing, and presumably drinking. He never saw that again, but he was thankful I'd already ripped most of them and added to my own collection.

That sounds good to me, if Gaz doesn't get back to us. Would prefer pick up so you know what you're getting, but no sweat if you want me to package up and post instead.

Some stuff added - see photos at link above

Rapha 3/4 shorts, navy, 32" waist. Used, some wear and scuffing but life in them yet. I swear I'm also a 32" but these are tight on me (WFH / beer?) and I've since moved into Swrve's shorts which i prefer and fit me better (probably because their sizing is more "generous"). £30 ono

Barker, tan leather shoes UK9.5 (width F, i think). I don't want to post - would prefer you to try on, have a look at condition, and make sure you're happy with them. Bought a while back along with some others - the others were incredibly comfy and saw a lot of use and were resoled twice before finalling giving up one wet night walking around the west end. These tan shoes, I just don't get on with the colour unfortunately. Original soles - some wear but not much use - come and have a look and try on. £80 ono

Old eroica jersey, not official, Large, i reckon 40" chest (a bit big for me at 38"). £5 ono which will go to forum

Weighing scales, made in west germany, £5 ono which will go to forum.

Duffel bag, green, exodos.co.uk branded. Put some weighing scales in photo for guide on size. I think about 40l. £5 which will go to forum.

Some old black leather shoes uk10, nothing special at all - will head to charity shop soon unless someone wants them. £Free / forum donation

Dibs followed by PM - cheers

Pick up from N1 - don't want to post, sorry.

And the wheels from this build here are for sale:
https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/338533/#comment14932309

Ambrosio Crono 32h tubular rims on Bitex hubs
FMB Service Course tubs – 25mm cotton

Love the bike, and swapped these out for a more touring / long distance wheelset. Can't see me racing on this or needing to go back to this wheelset.

I'm no expert on tubs, so please visit to check them over - Wharf Road off City Road, N1.

£100 ono

Can you post the wheels? If so, dibs.

Edit:undibs

I used to have a minidisc recorder, I used it for recording my DJ mixes in the days before I had a dedicated PC.

Nowadays I have no PC but loads of records and kids and zero chance to have a mix.

Have a MD bump for old time's sake. GLWS!

👍

for a (short) time it felt like the future

My favourite memory of Minidisc is the product placement in Last Action Hero

Any updates on the minidisc?

Dibs on wheels if still available; PM sent

No word from Gaz so lets crack on woth minidiscs and player if you want it. I'll PM you. Cheers

..the history of the minidisc could have be rewritten if they had opted for better placement in Jurassic Park or Groundhog Day

Added to this list is a vulpine jacket, medium, green. Suits 38"-40" chest. For fitting, i found the arms are a little short (or my arms are a little long).

Same make, colour, and looks about the same condition, as this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203232023800

Don't wear this anymore after getting myself a swrve milwaukee

£20 collection from N1

Can post or send photos. Dibs then PM

Is it waterproof?

Hey Chak, ah thats the age old question about jackets. Id call this water resistant. I'm wary of anyone selling a jacket second hand claiming its waterproof. Following the washing instructions or the nikwax treatment might make it even more water resistant.

If I want waterproof I generally only trust new jackets.. I bought a "peoples poncho" recently and that is waterproof.. great for downpours but not so great on rides faster than 12mph!

Feel free to come have a look

Interested in the wheels, got any more pictures of them? How worn are the rims?
Cheers,
Matt

I'm in N1 as well. Mind holding on to this for a couple of days? Unless you don't mind me appearing at 7pm. Alas, work and all.

Yeah no problem. DM me and we can catch up locally cheers!

I'll take a few photos and add them to the collection.. hopefully tomorrow. And will confirm wear, although feel free to come round and see for yourself. Cheers
