Here are some bits and bobs that I have spare after upgrading during Lockdown. It turns out when you're not lamping £3.50 a day at coffee you have more money to spend on bike parts, so these are surplus to requirements. All prices are for collection in the West End, or I can post for £5 on top.
Brooks C13 Saddle (First run of 259 Limited Edition) - £65 - £60
I bought this in 2016, and whilst it's super comfortable on the road it was murder on the turbo. I've had one 'off' on it; I was trying to clip in in front of a mate that was new to cycling at the end of my road and scuffed the right side of it (and my dignity). You can see the slight fraying of the canvas in the photo.
Campagnolo Daytona Seatpost 27.2mm - £60
Much as I refuse to accept it there's a possibility my frame is a touch too small for me, hence why this seatpost has very little wear above the minimum insertion point. This post will take the carbon rails of the Brooks above, and if it wasn't for the fact I was able to go super-bling with a Record Titanium post I'd still be using it.
Campagnolo Chorus 8-Speed Ergo Levers - £45 - SOLD
I've put new hoods on these, so they don't have that slightly odd tacky feel that the older hoods do. I even put new rubber 'nubbins' on the rear of the brake lever so they don't clack against the shift paddle. The shifting action is nice and positive.
Campagnolo Chorus 102mm Bottom Bracket - £25 - £20
This has probably done about 2000km, though the bearings are nice and smooth.
New Campagnolo Athena 11 Speed Front Derailleur (Braze On) - £35 - £25
I ordered this from Condor as a backup to the used one below, but when I went to Potenza the FD's changed to be the new Super Record type with a longer arm. For some reason it didn't come with a mounting bolt I've got a mounting bolt so it's complete.
Campagnolo Athena 11 Speed Front Derailleur (Braze On) - £25 - £20
Probably done about 500km. I prefer this style of FD when compared to the newer ones as they're all silver and look sleeker, but the shifts down were just a little odd when using the Potenza shifters. On the Chorus shifters above they were spot on!
Let me know if you want any better/higher res images.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
