Leather saddle - I don't know what the hell this is. I bought it from ebay, sold as a Brooks for £60. It does have Brooks logos and maybe it really is, but I can't find a Brooks model like it. It also has a small Taj Mahal logo stamped into the top. It doesn't have a tensioning bolt, just relying on the springs. There is a layer of thick card stuff under the saddle which has a tear in it. I can't see how the card would be structural, but the seat was quite infirm. It's been laced to address this, but could do with lacing a little further back for my tastes. Either way, it's a pretty unique looking seat and everyone that's seen it on my porteur build has been wowed by it. £45
Stem - 3TTT, 80mm, paint a bit shabby around logos. £6
Chrome dual pivot brake calipers - unbranded, came from the Roll above. £15
Diadora SPD shoes - size 47 - Brand new and unworn (though they have some 'blotches' from the factory). Bit of a mess here. I bought these to use with some SPD-R cleats with adaptor plates, but in oder to get the cleats and plate to fit, I had to cut away some of the tread blocks near the cleats. I got the plates/cleats on and it was obvious the adaptor solution wasn't going to work. Would be perfectly fine with SPDs. £20
Wellgo R2 cleats - After failing with the adaptor plates, I ordered these. i thought they were SPD-R clreats that had an SPD fitting. That that seems to be half true. They have the right front and back to clip in, but my pedals don't have a large enough hole in the middle for the 'body' of the cleat. I have no idea what kind of pedals these are for. Brand new, never clipped in. £8

What size is the clamp on the black 3TTT?

The frame has been dibsed by PM, awaiting payment. I tried twisting it out with a saddle attached, but no joy. I haven't done anything beyond that though, but I can't see it being stuck too badly. The frame is only 10 months old and the seat has been in position for maybe the last 8 months.
VN saddle sold.
The 3TTT stem is a 25.4mm clamp.

Cheesecake has dibs, but I'm still waiting for payment. If he doesn't go through with the sale, then they're yours. You do know that it's a 700c rear and a 650c front wheel, right? The size of your frame isn't going to matter, but they'd be a little strange if the frame/fork isn't designed for a 650 front wheel.

Easton wheels and leather saddle now gone too.

The 'Brooks' saddle is an indian copy, you can tell by the stamp on the leather..it's a pretty thing and prolly came of a rickshaw?
With a build quality like that and the stamp in the seat it's a definite that is never left the birmingham quality control with those defects...it would also explain the taj mahal!!
It's a nice saddle though it's not brooks.

where about are you based mate? Very interested in the globe frame/forks etc.

Sorry, the frame has gone. I thought I'd posted, but it seems I didn't.
All that's left are the stems, shoes, cleats, lo-pro wheels (dibsed, but nothing since), pedals and brakes (dibsed, but nothing since).
Lots a stuff to move on here. I'm not in London, so all prices include postage.
Globe Roll 2 frame/forks/headset - 59cm ctc, 63cm ctt, 61cm tt.
The seat post is currently stuck, so I'm not sure how much interest this is likely to get. I've had a go yanking on it with a seat attached, but haven't tried hammering or ammonia yet. I'll be doing this in the next few days. £140
