For Sale: Beater/pub bike, Stronglight, saddle, cranks, GB stem, 16t cog, bars, some free

I've just bought a new frame from Whizzer, so figured it was about time to clear out some of the bits that I'm not (going to be) using.

Dibs and PMs, please. Collection is from Shadwell, E1 or for smaller bits from Imperial College, SW7.

Pub/beater bike: 22" Halfords Olympic

Halfords used to make their bikes in Birmingham. Judging by the couple of 1950s models I've seen, some of them were rather good. This is a late 1960s Halfords Olympic. It's nothing special, just a sturdy plain gauge lugged steel frame with relaxed geometry, but it's well-built and ready to ride. It has a rather nice Halfords riveted headbadge. Comes with GB alloy bars, ugly stem, new bar tape, Weinmann levers and calipers, newish brake cables, 48t ND cottered cranks, TDC bottom bracket, newish 16t Dicta freewheel, new chain, Kobe(??) saddle, union hubs on Rigida Superchromix steel 27x 1 1/4 rims. It used to have newish Michelin World Tours front and rear, but I pulled the wheel in when I changed the chain and found that the tyre rubbed so swapped it for a newer, narrower DSI tyre. I've got the chainlinks I took out and the other Michelin tyre, so I'll chuck them in too. The paintwork has definitely seen better days.

It'll get you to the pub and back.

Selle San Marco Corsaire 313 suede saddle
The suede is in excellent condition - no scrapes or tears, and still nice and soft - but one of the badges has come off. There are two little nicks on the inside, from where a seat post has rubbed, I think, but which aren't visible and don't affect the saddle structurally.

dibs bike, pmed

Yes, happy to post as long as you're prepared to cover it.

I'm tempted by those bars but they are too wide for me :(

dibs stem if can see how rusty bolts are!!! any chance of another pic?
cheers Carl

The front bolt isn't rusted at all - it's very shiny. The nut holding it behind, though, is, which is why it's dull grey/brown in the photo up there. The stem bolt has one small scuff on it, but is shiny.

Hang on, I'll try and get a photo.

2nd dibs on the bike if samharris changes mind*

Quick photo of the stem. The rust is on the nut, rather than the bolt itself.

Dibs dura ace cog please.

Third (unlikely) dibs on the bike.

I do want the bars but I can't get to that area of London easily and I can't online pay x(

I'll keep looking

^ PM me - if you'd like them we should be able to work something out.

Several dibs, but few confirmed sales. I've updated the list with what's dibbed and what's not.

payed in full :)

I've had a couple of people place dibs and then change their minds, so the Halfords beater bike is up for grabs again.

Since the photos were taken for the OP, I've replaced the ugly stem with a nicer SR one - it now has a half alloy SR stem, chrome bars, and pearl white tape.

I've updated the list with what's still available.

Hey is the stem still available? I'm getting a bit confused between 22mm and 22.2mm. I've got an old Dawes Londoner, think it needs a 22mm...
