Various parts of my bike got nicked... so need replacing

yeah that sounds wicked. Thanks very much. Let me know how you get on. And as you say, I'd be happy to donate to the forum...

I can sort you out with an ostentatious (but light) seat-seatpin combo, and I'm sure I have a spare rear wheel off a Giant OCR1 that has a 9 speed cassette.

The saddle's one of those cowprint ones that attach to the pin using a proprietary rail system. The pin's 27.2. Bought it by mistake on Wiggle a few years ago. Only tried it a few times, so it's as good as new.

I think a mate of mine has either the rear or the front wheel in his garage (I'll check which - the other's in my loft). If you're interested I can ping him a mail to see if he's around this w/e so I can pick it up.

Happy to let these go for a donation to the forum, if you think that's reasonable.
