• Hi there,
    Apparently stealing handlebars is a thing in Hackney. Well, it happened to me. In case anyone’s switched out a cockpit or can help piece together one for a 2017 Croix de Fer that is currently very difficult to ride.
    Need: bars, stem, brifters.
    They were all original but could be easily persuaded to upgrade the Sora shifters / mix and match.
    If anyone has things knocking about let me know - thanks!

  • Would these bars work for you?

  • I've got a 100mm FSA stem and FSA Omega compact bars for a tenner each in N16, if they are any use?

  • I've got a set of the old 10-speed 105 brifters (ST 5700). Ideally, would like to flog them with an old 11-36 cassette and chain, plus a non-series 10 speed mech (RD-R350-10-SS). £50 the lot?

  • I might also have a spare 110 stem - both handlebars and stem £free

  • Thanks @BartS @dinosaur - going to do some measuring / drop you a DM. Very kind. Sorry slow reply. @Bearlegged - thank you. Will DM. This could work.

  • Sorry to hear this, it's so annoying, happened to me by London Fields a couple of years ago. I've since swapped out some of the stem bar cap and stem steerer clamp bolts for pin torx ones (can buy easily enough Clerkenwell Screws and maybe the special bit too). I might have one or two spare if you'll be parking up again in Hackney. Also have a ton of new (but basic) brake outer cable you're welcome to.

  • if camberwell is nearer to you i have an assortment of bars and some 120mm stems if you want? fiver each. if you want just bars/stem that’s fine too. Also a million top caps and bolts

  • I’ve got some tiagra shifters 3x10 can be set up 2x10 £20 pick up Haggerston I should have some bars and stem you can have free

  • Thanks all - piecing it together. The kindness on here is always very impressive.
    Good idea @adamdenw - do you have the specs? As they took the cap and bolt I'm not sure what this is / to ask for in CS (and much as I love that shop if you don't know exactly what you want it can get a bit tetchy)...thank you! Or could buy from you if you are Hackney way...

  • I needed M5*20 which they had. That's on the left in the photo and worked fine to replace the original to the right. I've got a few in different sizes so you're welcome to pop round once you've got a stem and you can see then what sizes you need. Yep, hackney E9, just message. Cheers

  • Hi again - now that Evri appear to have lost @Bearlegged 's great offer above of a 10-speed brifter / RD and cassette I'm back in the market for brifters (and any extra kit I'll need if upgrading from the Shimano 9 speed Sora that was on there) to get my bike back on the road. Waited too long for Evri...
    What have you got? Thanks all...

  • Hi there, I'm splitting the Giant in the photo. Like @Bearlegged the shifters are 105 10 speed, with Deda aero bars and Easton stem. I can take the whole cockpit off and send with cables for £75.

  • dm if interested

  • apologies for hijack, but interested if you still have this lot - ta!

  • Huge thanks for everyone who offered to help me sort this out! LFGSS great again. Now to put it together...
    Thanks @Bearlegged @adamdenw @BartS @dinosaur @tmevans @littleK @kotsm @roadwarrior

    And just FYI, persisting with Evri managed to change the status from 'lost' to 'we took a look for it and found it in the depot', so worth it (on this occasion)...
