Northwest Marketplace

if anyone else is looking for a 21"-ish (ctc seat tube) frame (no forks), and wants to trade it for another bike part (don't really care what), let me know.

I'll swap it for a plastic bar end cap - deal?

details pls...

haha... no.

nice gecco emboss.

sheldon brown has some stuff about elswick. sounds like they were reputable, but have a confusing history...

yeah but you got the frame for FREE. Why are you laughing at offers? being too picky in what you get since you dont want it any longer could make people think your a bit of a numpty and I expect that is someone doesnt have something to trade you will freecycle it again. its a battered old, heavy frame, most of us here have several hanging around.

Im actually intrested in a bar end, I lost one of mine outside a takeaway. trade yours for mine? mine is a bit scratched but still works and it has a spiral on it!

fair point. i was laughing because i was fairly sure it was a joke. I guess its hard to convey humour or tone inflection on teh webz.
I swapped a pair of handlebars for this, so it wasn't completely free. Anyways, its my prerogative to do what i like with the frame. don't get me wrong, i'm not gonna stick in on ebay, but just because i say 'don't really care what...' doesn't mean i have to give it to the first person who offers me something. this isn't FCFS.

I'm gonna trade this for something I actually need. I don't need bar ends. simple.

does anyone on here work for the Royal Mail....?

The Stockport Rd post office depot has a huge pile of the front & back wheels they use on there bikes (26" with some sort of internal geared hub on the rear) sat next to their bins in the courtyard with a couple of RM bike frames too... i asked what they were doing there and apparently they are waiting to be collected and sent to Africa to be re-used... They've been there for at least about the last 2 months now...

Not condoning theft... just sayin like...
Make good polo wheels...

I don't like Bud or Becks (and the fact they don't match). A couple of Theakstons Old Peculier though...

bud is gastly. becks is okay, OP is good for about a half before i remember why I don't it more often. Jennings Cumberland FTW or anything by Harviestoun.

Anyone got a spare rear fixed 700c wheel for a friend of mine? Don't have to be flash, but something fairly solid would be good.

Plus who has my polo bike at the moment?

pretty sure it's not as simple as getting 2 bottle caps, they're proper bar plugs:
