Beater frame (PRICE DROP - £7), MASSIVE SPEAKERS handle bars, shifters, front mesh, bikes...
Hi all,
I have some stuff in my shed that I don't and will not use, so it's for sale.
I'm London based, and don't want to post (sorry, too lazy), so collection / delivery / meeting at drinks, can be arranged.
At the end of this, if I sell anything or all, I will give 10% of it to the forum.
Dibbs and PM as usual, sorry if I am slow answering during WE...
1/ 3TTT pista handle bars, £25: [sold]
2/Beater frame, £10 ---- PRICE DROP £7 SOLD PENDING PICK-UP because I had to use the seat post on another bike-----:
It's an old Dawes mountain bike frame (reynolds 500 cro-mo, lugged) that I found and converted to a fixed gear beater (using 700c). I do not use it anymore...
It comes with a headset that needs replacement because is has a tight spot (you can not cycle with no hands because of that) unless, like I did, you consider that it doesn't matter as it is only a beater.
BB could do with a servicing as well, but once again, for a beater, it was fine to my standards.
It also comes with a mis-matching crankset: Shimano Exage on the drive side, that you can not remove unless you attack it with an angle grinder because the thread is f**ked and no crank remover can get it out, and a basic Stronglight left arm.
Finaly, it has vertical drop out, so you would need to use magic gear... I used 42X16 with a half link and chain tension was perfect.
The bottom picture shows how it looks like once built... All braze-on bits (cable stops, cantilever support on seat stays, etc...) on the frame (not the fork though) have been carefully and nicely shaved / removed and properly filed / sanded, then clear lacquered so it does not rust... Size: Center of BB to top of seat post tube = 55cm (but as you can see the top tube is lower so I suppose you can take off 2cm from that...
Center of seat tube to center of head tube (top tube lenght I mean) = 56cm http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/4628/dawesbeaterfr.jpg
6/ 3TTT stem and Cinelli Giro Del Italia combo £10 [sold]: 7/ 3ttt Stem £15 [sold]: 8/ Shimano parts, brakes, downtube shifters £10 each, front mech £5 : [see below what is still available]
9/ Short aluminium mudgards (£free) and Brompton seat post (£5); [all 3 short mudgard pair available again - see post 44 - collection at South and South East Drinks ONLY]
3 pair of short mudgards available.
I believe there is 3 types of seat post with Brompton, the standard, the longer one, and the telescopic one. I am 80/100 sure this one is the longer one, was not long enough for me so I had to get the telescopic one. Ask me for dimension if interested... http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/408/miscmudbrompton.jpg
10/ Friends are selling their bikes... I am helping them:
Well ugly Carrera mountain bike, needs a good clean, but I believe he did not put many miles on it... He wants £100 o.n.o. for it... I know this is not the right place for it, but I said I would help... http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/3400/mtgecarrera.jpg
Another friend is leaving London, she wants to sell her bike, touring like, blue raleigh from early 80s I think, mixte frame, decent condition, budget parts, she wants £50 for it... She said she would take picture this week end, I will remind her if there is any interest...
