• Having a pre-Christmas clear out. All stuff available for pick up from Canary Wharf or Newington Green, I can also bring smaller things to South East drinks on Tuesday at the Roebuck in Borough. No posting unless it's easy to do, you ask nicely, and you pay for it ;)

    Late 60s 22" Halfords Olympic '22' - made in Birmingham

    Nothing special, just a sturdy plain gauge lugged steel frame with relaxed geometry, but well-built and ready to ride. It has a rather nice Halfords riveted headbadge. Comes with GB alloy bars, SR stem, silver bar tape, Weinmann levers and calipers, newish brake cables, 48t ND cottered cranks, TDC bottom bracket, newish 16t Dicta freewheel, newish chain, Kobe(??) saddle, union hubs on Rigida Superchromix steel 27x 1 1/4 rims and a pair of almost brand new Schwalbe puncture proof gumwalls (which cost me £20).

    The paintwork is pretty rusty/flakey in places, but I think that makes it a better beater as people will want to pinch it less! It's definitely not structural.

    Seat tube c-c: 56cm
    Top tube c-c: 58cm
    BB to top tube: 53cm

    £65~~ SOLD to Fat Joe.

    Dura Ace 7400 chain rings

    These are the 'B' set, with 39 and 53 teeth. Not perfect but as you can see from the photo in good nick with plenty of wear left on the teeth.

    **£20 £17 £15 SOLD** to onyerbike

    ~~Blue Open Pro rim

    36h. This used to be attached to a rear hub, so while it's never been braked on and is in excellent condition (just the odd small scratch), it has gone a fair way, hence price.

    £20~~ SOLD to Markist_fixie

    Selle Italia Flite Titanium saddle

  • Nice beater!

  • Heh, thanks! You did a good job on it, it's done me well but I basically have another bike I use as a beater, so it never gets used any more. I'm just trying to work out if this is really the wrong time to be selling it (before Christmas) or if I need to drop the price a bit...

  • Provisional Dibs on the beater please.

  • Second dibs on the beater!

  • 3rd dibs on the beater for a friend!

  • Dibs noted! Fat Joe has asked if he can have a fitting, I'm waiting for him to get back to me.

    It would earn me brownie points if this was out of the house by Christmas, so I hope this will happen.

  • ill put a dibs down on the beater.
    just in case.

    Wow. I guess that means there's always a market for a decent beater. Hope it goes to another good home.

  • The beater has found a good home. The buyer even got a free pump!

    Price drops on everything else - what's that, a Flite for £12? Gosh.

  • That flite is nice!

    Can I meet you in N16 sometime soon?

  • If you send me your paypal address we can change the status from provisional to paid...i ain't sold much but sold enough to be able to pay you.

  • Was just about to mention the flite. If spoons doesn't take it, I will.

    Don't worry, it is sold in my head, I just need to find a suitable box and weigh it. I know how much the rim weighs (430g) because I'm a bit of a weight weenie but I have no idea about cardboard boxes. Or bubble wrap. Will go on the hunt tomorrow morning.

    Yup, will PM you.

    I'm not worried but want you to have your money...only fair....If you use cardboard...get a box and then cut it up and use thick parcel tape to make a small box or use lots of bubble wrap and cover the bubblewrap in loads of parcel tape.....the royal mail postage includes insurance up to £46!

  • 2nd dibs on that Flite.

  • New Year price drops on all remaining stuff - these are now serious bargains!

  • If that Flite is still going I'll have it. PMd.

  • Sram cassette please, pm,d
