• THREAD UPDATE: price drops all round- £5 off everything costing £25+, a few £££ off everything cheaper than this, see each item for exact price.
    NEW UPDATE: for those buying multiple items, get a few £££ off the cheapest one, will advise of the exact discount once I know the particular item being bought.

    Since the New Year I’ve had a complete reassessment of my massive vintage MTB bikes/parts hoard after deciding that it’s got a bit out of control and most of it has to go😊 I’ve cleared a lot of the vintage stuff already, but now the modern kit of the collection is up for grabs here. The vintage stuff was listed in a separate thread to this- it’s still open, so if this is more your line then look here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/395390/
    Loads of nice freebies can be found too. Prices not including postage. Collection is welcome . Dibs then PM please. To make things easier (compared to the earlier thread) I’ve not included pics of everything alongside the items, but they can be found in this photo album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/mXVZBGDz87kxxWz8A
    This shows one or two pics per item but more will be added as I find the time.

    I’ve also only included basic spec info for everything, please ask for extra info if it’s needed (can also get extra pics sorted more quickly for individual items if you'd rather not wait for the full update). And for the most part, condition info hasn’t been mentioned, but please be reassured that everything has been checked over carefully and mechanically all parts are in good order (all pivoting bits on front/rear mechs, brake levers etc won’t have play, no bolts will be seized, threads will be good, hub bearings will be examined for wear and serviced, and nothing will be damaged/bent etc) besides cosmetic scrapes etc which will be shown in close-up pics.

    Paypal gift is my preferred payment type, all prices don't include postage. Royal Mail's standard 2nd class rate is £3.69, so this is what you'll be paying unless you ask for a different service. Possibly cheaper if it fits inside a letter envelope, ask for price. If you can collect then it will be from NW London. Happy to send outside of the UK at cost, PayPal "friends" (or you can choose the standard method, ask for it and I'll advise what is required for this) payment secures, cold hard cash only (so no trades or offers will be considered) I'm afraid folks. I’ll be making another forum donation once the new stuff starts to shift.
    NB PLEASE CHECK AT THE END OF MY SECOND POST IN THE THREAD FOR ALL ITEMS SOLD OR FREEBIES TAKEN. ITEMS DIBSED/PENDING SALES SHOULD BE CHECKED BY LOOKING AT THE THREAD REPLIES BELOW, PLS DON'T PM ME BEFORE CHECKING THIS

    REAR MECHS (SGS below equals a long cage design; GS equals medium cage)

    Shimano XT Shadow RD-M786 SGS rear mech. This is a clutched rear mech, allowing it to reduce chain bounce (between jockey wheels and chainrings) causing chain slap against your frame when riding over rough terrain. And also prevents it from falling off the chainrings. This function can be locked out when going back to normal terrain. 10 speed. £30
    Shimano XT Shadow Plus RD-M781 SGS rear mech. Non clutched variant of the above mech but still retaining many of it’s features. 10 speed. £30>>> £25
    Shimano XT Shadow RD-M772 SGS rear mech. 9 speed. £25>>> £20
    Shimano Deore RD-M510 rear mech. This is a long cage mech although appears more like a medium cage when compared to the more ‘serious’ MTB mechs above. 9 speed. See my other Deore kit below which makes up probably a complete Deore (same M510 series) groupset. £10>>> £8
    Shimano Alivio RD-MC20 rear mech. 8 speed. This is a long cage mech although appears more like a medium cage when compared to the more ‘serious’ MTB mechs above. See my other Alivio kit below which makes up probably a complete Alivio (same MC20/18 series). £10>>> £8
    Shimano SLX RD-M662 GS rear mech. 9 speed. Has been upgraded with alloy KCNC sealed bearing, 11 tooth jockey wheels. £15>>> £13
    SRAM X-4 rear mech. 8 speed. Long cage. If interested, I also have some 8 speed shifters (not listed below) I can sell to the new owner which would be compatible with the mech’s unusual 1:1 actuation ratio. £10>>> £8

    FRONT MECHS

    Shimano XT FD-M780A low slung front mech. Bottom or top pull. 34.9mm clamp, but includes shims for 31.8mm. Will obviously be a good match for the other XT M780 kit listed here. £15>>> £13
    Shimano Deore FD-M510 front mech. Bottom or top pull. 34.9mm clamp, but can include shims for 31.8mm. Will obviously be a good match for the other Deore kit listed here. £8>>> £6
