  • Forget the aero levers! Missed the picture.

  • Looks like you need long drop on the calipers yes?

    good point !

    whats the distance between brake mount hole and rim that would warrant long reach ?

  • http://www.lfgss.com/thread79607.html got a fairly long reach weinmann here, albeit for rear;£5 posted

  • Got some brakes, possibly a tange fork and other gubbins taking up space at home. Drop me a pm too remind me and I'll check what I've got tonight.

  • Oh, and pedals

  • pm'd

  • Still need:

    1" threaded forks, drilled for brakes (with at least 210mm of steerer)
    a retainer with bearings for a headset
    grips / bartape

    total spend so far: £37

  • I've got a headset bearing retainer you can have however you don't actually need the retainer you can just use loose bearings..
    What kind of grips do you want? I've got some firm rubber types with little knobbles on them
    If you want them plus the ratainers bung us £3 to cover the postage and half a coke and they're yours
    The retainer i'll send for nowt by the way

  • pm'd

  • looks like 1" threaded forks, drilled for brakes (with at least 210mm of steerer) is all I need.

  • I've got some steel forks off an old hybrid. Have v-brake / canti bosses. Very cheap if you want em.
