I'm having a bit of a clear-out. Parts are in Forest Hill but I can bring them into work (Holborn) on weekdays.
Black formula flip-flop hub on Sun MZ14 rim, complete with rim tape, tube and Armadillo tyre. This is the wheel that came on my Paddy Wagon and it's been a good and faithful servant over the years. I've replaced the bearings once, and it spins nicely and is completely true. There's some light brake wear on the rim but, as it's been used on the fixed side all the time I've had it, the wear is very light and it's not even concave to the touch. I've only changed it because I bought a new front wheel built with a dynohub and open pro rim, and then had a new rear built to match. Slightly grubby as you'd expect.
How does £40 sound? Too much, you cry. Is £30 more sensible? OK, £25 anyone? [SOLD to Majsterjanek]
The bars are fairly scruffy, the stem has not been used (just fitted until I decided it was too tall and went for a lovely NOS Italian stem in Columbus tubing from Planet-X). £15 for both - but would split.
Stem SOLD to Tellerbones
Bars going bck in shed unless anyone wants them.
Even the most conscientious mother would have difficulty loving this, but it's got character. I seem to remember that these were sold for about £30 in the olden days. It's got some bashing around the stem cap where I foolishly tapped an allen key with a hammer to loosen the expander bolt without having checked that there was enough room for the allen key to move down without hitting the stem. But the stem cap does a reasonable job of hiding that.
£5 anyone? [sold for a massive £3.50!]
I'll add the other bits shortly!
