Bike or Frame & forks wanted

Hello all
has anyone is bristol got a complete bike or main components for sale in bristol?
cheers

Details? What size are you after? Any preference on clearance? Price range?

I might have a wheelset (on-one LF rear on a Mavic CXP-33 and 'matching' shimano deep profile rim 16 spoke front) , frame (22" Raleigh 531 with fresh red enamel respray), brakes, bars, stem, bmx lever, and some other odds and sods available in the next couple of weeks. Drop me a PM if you think any of it might be of interest.

surely not the raleigh. surely not. after yesterdays disaster and pain i might even be interested in that. obviously if rydon aint..

It's too small really.... and I could do with the cash to pay for the Bates restoration!

I have my Raleigh Record Sprint on e-bay (item number:32035917025) make me a decent offer and I can bring it up at the weekend of the 25th. I have loads more pics if needed.

G-bitch's red raleigh is lovely tho

after yesterdays disaster and pain...

have an off?

nah just a super uncomfortable bike. i didnt realise how badly it fitted me until i went on a my first long ride on it. its fine round town but otherwise, no fun.

Just got your message - rydon is now the (presumably proud!) owner of said Raleigh frame. I'll keep my eyes open for frames for you.

What type of thing are you looking for (ideally)? I'm back up in Brum a couple of times over the next week or so and was hoping to call in at my old LBS which always had a stock of reasonable quality (anything 531) frames that they'd get powder coated (can be a little rough!) and hang up to keep as replacements/upgrades to customers' knackered frames.
Seeing as Birmingham has no cycle culture to speak of nevermind fixed 'community', I've no doubt that they still have loads and could probably pick something up for about the £50 mark. I've lost your number so just PM me your mobile and if i find anything I'll give you a buzz.

yes im the proud owner, cant wait to get it built up!

I forgot to mention to you last night.... you can fit a freewheel to a fixed hub without any bother but not vice-versa if you wanted to give fixed a go - lots of benefits over freewheeling and it's really easy despite what some people seem to think!

ok cheers, ill probs stick with a free wheel untill i get used to the bike and then go fixed.
so with the wheel set im looking at (with the thread striped on the fixed side of the flip flop) could i run a freewheel then put a fixed cog on the same side when i want to go fixed?
do you understand that? its hard to put in words :P

yea thats possible, id recommend locktighting and and blasting up a few steep hills tho to get it super tight before skidding.

on the off chance you're reading this, any chance of getting some cheapish black forks? my spare bike is an old raleigh 531 that got damaged in a crash in Cheddar. i mean, i could get some new, expensive ones... but i'm skint.
