Used/Spare Parts

Is there anywhere in London that just has boxes upon boxes of used parts? I am building a winter single speed because I don't want to ride my Ciocc in the rain all the time plus I am getting sick of people attempting to steal it. This bike just needs to work. No fancy parts, but is functional and can take a beating.

So if you know of anyone who has:
1" stem
Handlebars
27.2mm seat post
set of crank arms / chain ring
pedals
etc.

please let me know!

how about introducing yourself first, might get a better response????
;o)

Sure!

My name is Patrick Nagle, I just moved to London about 3 months ago for work.
I work at Framestore-CFC as a Digital Compositor.
When I was at Uni in the states I was working as a bike messenger and use to have a
schwinn paramount track bike, but that is dead now =(

I might have met some of you at the Bike Film Fest at some point...maybe?

I live in Hackney and currently I am riding a 1983/4 ciocc with campy/cinelli components.
Sorry to disapoint but this is a 7 speed, and its going to stay that way! But I am building
this single speed for winter...I knew I should have brought my fixie with me...but I sold it..

if you go into places like halfords they usually have stuff lying around make friends with the employees and they'll usually let you have a browse i got toe clips a new brake cable handle bars and brake levers from one down balham

Hi pnagle, any pics of the Ciocc? I could do with some pure old-school Italian porn today :0(

Hey Jos,

Patrick, I have a few 1" stems in various lengths - do you know Chris Furr, who also works at Framestore-cfc - I could drop one off with him and he could get it to you ?

Hey Tynan,

That would be great!

how much would you want for one?

pnagle Hey Tynan,

That would be great!

how much would you want for one?

For you ? - because I love you ? - not gay love or anything, but man-love ? = free.

I will try and sort it out tomorrow - you need to tell me what length you need.

Do you know Chris ?

Hey Tynan,

No I don't know Chris. He is in a different building than me. But
it would be easy enough to connect with him.

length? hhmmmm 90-110mm?

cheers,
Patrick
