I moved out of London got a cellar and converted it into a workshop, and then things got out of hand. I started hoarding and it's now full and stressing me out, so I'll be listing loads of stuff in the next few weeks, full bikes, a frame and loads of parts.
First up (because I need to shift this first to get to the next one) I bought this as a pub bike a couple years ago and changed a few bits, I've actually ridden it loads and done some touring in Belgium and France and the various bits in the uk, including Peak District and the Cantii Way, it's a fun bike, but realistically I only need one 26'r in my life and I currently have three :/
It ticks all the biek wanker points swept back bars, billy bonkers, front rack, pink everything, I've also stuck tektro v brakes and a Microshift rear derailleur on it, it's a little rusty in places and shifts ok but not great, wheels are what you would expect on a bike of this quality, and again a bit rusty in places.
What's the white patina I hear you ask?
It's.......anti theft paste, it's previous life was spent in a garage getting peppered by birds, I've cleaned most of it back but its reacted with the alloy in places and leaves a rad finish.
It's got a bingo cards worth of forum stickers, it's 7 speed, has what (were when I put them on) NOS 1980's pink children's mudguards.
I'm not doing a great job selling this, so I'll stop now, only looking for £100.
I'm not in London, but work in Forest Hill 3 days a week and can take it there for collection.
