Hey, need a few bits for the girlfriend's build.
Nothing too expensive, as im not sure how she'll get on with the bike yet.

-Silver Brake calipers - 60mm drop on the front , 50-55mm drop on the back. side pull or dual pivot preferably. And recessed nut fitting would be nice. What have you got?

-Seat post - Even with calipers i'm having trouble finding out the exact size. Seems to be 25.8mm, but could be 25.6mm, so am probably gonna have to buy both and try. Silver only please.

-Ladies saddle. I don't even know what saddles are good for a female ass? White would be nice, nothing too sporty.

-Silver 130bcd chainring 42teeth (or near). 3/32nd width preferably.

-White brake cable outer - has anyone got any going cheap?

re seatpost, bring the frame to a bike shop and ask for a fitting post.

The shop told me that once, I said nah it'll be fine, and now I got 2 spare scratched seatposts...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
