Posted on
  • Bit more than I could chew when I acquired titanium.

    Before I splash cash I want to ask here for some parts.
    I need these:

    [strike]1. Thomson Elite stem - black, oversized, 10 or more degree (can swap for o deg0)[/strike]

    [strike]2. Thomson Elite layback seatpost - black, 27.7mm[/strike]

    [strike]3. Bushnell Eccentric bottom bracket or similar (ca. 54-55mm shell)[/strike]

    [strike]4. Rear rack[/strike]

    [strike]5. SKS mudguards - black (for 26", I pressume)[/strike]

    1. Shimano Alfine rear hub - 8 or 11 speed

    2. Shimano dynamo hub or similar

    3. Or wheelset with IHG (Shimano, Rohloff - 26")

    [strike]9. Right now, for a temporary ss Rigida wheelset, 26" tyres in 28mm (what's that? like 1.12 inch?) - preferable Gatorskins or other thin ones.[/strike]

    1. Brake levers for drops or Versa STI shifters for Shimano 8 or 11 speed

    [strike]11. Chris King Devolution Sotto Voce headset - 1 1/4" > 1 1/8" - preferable in black (can find any in the shops)[/strike]

    [strike]12. Cantilever cable hangers - front and rear (matching colour, as it's a big pain to find the same); preferably fork mounted[/strike]

    [strike]13. Triple MTB chainset - either Shimano SLX or FSA Afterburner (not the BB30 version)[/strike]

    1. Front rack / lowrider - black

    Only nice parts, please - not any old tat.

  • 26" Arrospokz welcome.

  • length stem? I haz 25.4.

  • I gots 31.8mm bars already. Drats!

  • if you can wait till I get back to london, I have a layback Thomson, and I don't like it.

    (I'll check if its alright first- came with a bike, and haven't removed it yet.)

  • I'll wait. Thanks, Henners. Get in touch when you're ready and we'll talk money.

  • you wanting to sell your thomson stem? is it 110, oversized, 0* and black?

      **


    purely because such a stem would suit me great....

  • 110mm c-c, 0 deg.

    I need it right now, just to put all the bits together once the forks arrive. I need to see if I'm doing it right or not.
    I definitely need one with a 10 or more degree rise.

  • yeah there is no rush at my end, just give me a heads up when you're sorted if this is still going? Thanks

  • Send me a PM later on, so I remember.

  • Incase the soperRiva option doesn't work out, I have a Layback post thats just been swapped out and up for grabs.

    Also, might have an Old Man Mountain Rear Sherpa Rack going.

  • Good to know. I'll be in touch.

  • My stem sold to Malaysian.

  • I've got a 110m Elite X4 but its only 5degrees, if your interested.

  • I'd prefer something more drastic (tourer). I've made an offer on 17deg Thomson x2 one. If the seller turns it down, I will get in touch with you.

  • Not sure if these are still available- bit of a tasty wheel set:

  • Great, I'd need to sell my Simoncini as well to afford them.

  • Don't worry about the crankset.
    I've managed to bag Truativ Stylo for £76 from Merlin Cycles (with a VIP discount) - that's £50 off compared with Chainreactions!
