  • I've got some stuff I've wanted to get rid of for ages. Before I bin most of it just wanted to check if anyone here wants it. Ideally one person to take everything, tomorrow night, or saturday morning at 9am

    -3x mtb cranks (1 unused, none of them anything special), some 1 1/8" forks for 26", some weinmann levers, pair chrome mudguards, repairable chorus hub, 3 biopace MTB rings with a bit of life left in them, 2 girls saddles, a USA bmx bottom bracket, a pair of simplex shifter levers, slightly rusted but unused 19t cog, a pair of reflectors.

    -A matching set of sachs huret derailleur, front mech and levers from an 80's Raleigh wisp, also just remembered I'll be taking a triple (or double? dunno) SR crankset off the same bike so can chuck that in too if you want

    -peugeot frame, 58cm square, no braze ons and half the paint removed.
    Priority will go to someone who can take everything, tomorrow night or saturday morning, and it will come in an awesome wooden box.

    I will take a couple of pictures in a bit. Also I'm after a crappy 700c rear wheel (any era) to get my friend sorted with a SS for work, if you have one that would be nice :) if not, no worries, the important thing here is getting my cupbopard emptied!

    cheers

  • can i ask how big the box is? can i take it on the bus or tube? ideally i'd cycle away with it but sounds too much of a hassle. i only need the frame, and other bits, could take them all off u and then post here and store them at home till ppl can pick them up?
    provisional dibs pming

  • Non provisional Dibs in case srocha backs out? In fact the main thing i want is the box itself...

  • I could use the cranks + forks (possibly) for polo builds....

  • I was serious that I do mostly want the big box! But could use some cranks and the mudguards too. It seems we could prob split this lot between us and everyone get what they need - where is it located? Maybe if one of us takes it and then we split between ourselves?

  • Maybe if one of us takes it and then we split between ourselves?

    thats was my idea (i think) i pm'ed Plastic Pedals and offered to pick it up and store at home, posting the items i dont need back on here,
    @andyfallsoff - i need some mudguards depending what size they are... you free to have the cranks (do i sound like i own the stuff already?)

  • the box is a wooden wine box, a 12 bottle one, perfect for storing bike stuff in but you won't be riding anywhere with it unless you have a rack and some ratchet straps or something and put the frame round your shoulder

    the splitting it between you works best for me, I'm working silly hours at the minute so this would be a good way to distribute the stuff to all of you. I'm in SW6, just waiting for srocha to pm me back

    andyfalloff - I have another box you can have. If you both want to come down in one evening that's fine, as long as it all disappears I'm happy!

  • Srocha that sounds good - horatio wanted cranks too but sounds like there are a few. For mudguards the chrome ones listed sound good but aren't essential, I need 27" or 700c size for a ladies bike build.

    Mostly I just want the big box it all comes in, I have lots of stuff in my flat needs storing!

  • @plastic pedals - I think I posted that whilst you were typing too!

    If you have another box then I would happily take that too. I'm stupidly busy for the next week though (final law exam next monday), how soon do you need the box collecting?

  • you can have the box whenever, not desperate to get rid of it. I'll know in a couple of days what my hours are going to be next week and we can sort something out

  • I'd be interested in some cranks and the Weinmann levers (providing they're not the nasty suicide levers) if this does get split and there are any going.

  • Just have pm'd Plastic Pedals and i'll be collecting everything tomorrow evening
    I dibsed the frame and mudguards(maybe)
    i'm in nw5 for collection, but give me a good excuse to cycle and i'll deliver :)
    will keep the thread updated once i get the stuff
    @andyfallsoff - you have a pm (cranks and the mudguards)
    @horatio - cranks + forks
    @teetee - cranks and the Weinmann levers
    there are 3 cranks in the lot according to the op, not sure what they are but the pick will be in post order i guess...

  • 2nds on frame if this all falls through.... Cheers!

  • Can I grab the girls saddles? I'm having a nightmare getting one that fits for the missus, so a choice of a couple might show us what works and what doesn't. Anything unused would be straight back on here.

    If you want to deliver to Brixton, srocha, be my guest. As for an excuse, erm... I almost broke my toe yesterday and it's gone a lovely shade of purple. How's that?

  • How about a cup of tea and a biscuit?

    Can I also add provisional dibs on at least one of the chainrings, if the cranks don't have rings, if it fits one of the cranks, and if it's in a size I want.

  • Can I dibs the sachs mech and lever set? Cheeerrs!

  • @horatio
    id definitely be interested in some of the mtb cranks for my polo build.

  • i'd come round right this second and get that box..

  • can I have the 19t cog plz?

  • got all the stuff with me now, i'm in nw5 or sw1 during the day, pls pm what you want and i'll update whats taken tomorrow
    cheers
