Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have a few bits and bobs that need shifting and I have to look as if I'm making the effort to clear some of the stuff I have laying around. Mrs b&d won't allow anything else into our rather small flat unless she sees that this, like Elvis, has left the building.
1) Cinelli "Campione Del Mondo" bars. These look like they've had an apocalyptic encounter. In actual fact, some bright spark decided to try and encourage them into a smaller stem opening. There are no marks to denote exactly what size they are, so I'd hazard a guess a 26.4 or larger. They also appear to have had a less than professional attempt at shortening. My only suggestion would be to either completely cover them in tape or convert them to a pair of beater-tastic bullhorns. Yours for five english pounds.
2) ITM stem. This was bought along several (thousand) other parts whilst Mrs b&d was deciding exactly what she liked for her bike. She didn't like this, so out it goes. The clamp area appears to be 25.4 and the reach is 50mm long. Probably suited once again to the realms of the beater or ratbike, this is will set back the lucky new owner five english pounds.
3) Nitto B2520 alloy bars. These are virtually unmolested, other than a few small marks near the centre. They measure asn unchopped 52cm in length and the clamp size is 26.0. Yet another thing that she didn't like, so they're out too. Yours (in their non-narrowed hipster-converted state) for twenty english pounds.
4) Kashimax Fivegold four star NJS approved saddle. I traded this for a small hand pump wit the good Mr Skully. Hang on, that doesn't read well at all. Still, nevermind. It's in a well loved state and would suit a seatpost with rails of the narrow type. Presumably for the narrow butts of keirin riders, as opposed to the portly european counterparts. A little scuffed, this will set you back ten english pounds. DIBBSED - ANDYPANCAKE
5) Dura Ace Chainset for octalink bottom bracket. SOLD TO DPP
6) 16t Condor track sprocket. SOLD TO HARRONG
7) Push Seatpost in 26.8 x 330mm long. Originally planned for use in Mrs b&d's dutch bike and currently used as an anti-jehovah's witness device by the front door. In new and unused condition, I'd like five english pounds for it.
8) Dia Compe retro brake levers. SOLD TO LESTER good to meet you today, cheers.
9) Black Oury Grips - one's a bit torn (don't ask!) so they'll cost a cupcake. DIBBSED - ADSCAN
10) Blackspire Stem. For 31.8 oversize handlebars, this 50mm length badboy was the result of inebriated ebaying. Christ knows how much I shelled out, but it's yours for fifteen english pounds.
11) Kashimax RainTail. Tried to fit it and it didn't fit. And she laughed her head off, saying I'd still complain about getting a wet hoop. Yours for fifteen english pounds. DIBBSED - ANDYPANCAKE
12) Campagnolo C-Record fluted seatpost SOLD TO LOAFHEADS
13) Archies Rosie pouch. SOLD TO DPP
Photo's are coming...... I'm more than happy to meet in the centre of town, but would rather not have the hassle of having to wrap things and do the geriatric congo at the Post Office. However, if you're in the back of beyond then I will post at a cost. Sheckles on the hip are preferred, but paypal works too. I have the day off on Monday, so can meet at specified times and places. I'll be a Look Mum No Hands on Monday too, probably around lunchtime if dudes/dudettes want to meet there.
