Freecycle: BLB la piovra crashed frameset, seatpost, pedals, gloves, brake, tyre, light...

hi,

before i throw those things away, have a look if they could be of any use...

**everything is free, all the bike bits come in the bag so you take them all! you can have the frame/tyre separately if you like
**

collection in hackney or hoxton sq

• gloves are size XL/UK9/EU11
  
• pads to put inside your helmet ***** GONE *****
  
• seatpost's i don't know size sorry (it was on a raleigh milk race if that helps) ***** GONE *****
  
• something to attach your u-lock to your frame! ***** GONE *****
  
• cateye front light that needs new batteries (with no mount)
  
• some raleigh pedals that spin ***** GONE *****
  

• some raleigh brakes that are old ***** GONE *****

• a bontrager 700c tyre with some life left in it ***** GONE *****

• my old favourite frame. broken top and down tubes, the fork doesn't spin freely. ***** GONE *****
  you could use the Tange headset and Tange(?) bottom bracket (dunno specs sorry), or use it to make a nice red stool. i really loved this frame, if someone could use it for something, that would be a nice second life...

thanks!

Dibs on frame please, intention being to try to fix it and if unsuccessful, would put it back in freecycle if someone wants to make a stool with it, does that sound fair? Is it a large frame or optical illusion?

Sure, it's yours and I hope you can fix it! It's a 59 seat tube and the top tube has an effective length of 56cm if i remember well... made to go with a 650C front wheel. Was my perfect size and I usually ride 56 square frames.

**update: **

the frame found a nice new home and i hope some magic can bring it to life...

the rest is still available, until it goes in the bin on thursday!

Damn it's a shame about the frame. Looks awesome.

Yes, R.I.P!

**update: **everything is now gone except:

• Gore black gloves UK9
  
• cateye front light (dead batteries)
  
  

thank you!

dibs gloves please

Hi all,

I took that frame from Opack a couple of weeks ago and I have been cycling with it on my back a bit since! Checking if I could get it fixed, and talking to "senior" knowledgeable forum peoples about it, etc...

It appears that it could be fixed, but the following should be replaced apparently:
-top tube (the hardest to source due to its shape)
-down tube
-top headtube lug
-possibly the headtube itself

It's a job for someone like Argos, which is more than I can afford for a project like this, I have already plenty of bikes to ride!

I contacted JC first as he did a massive dibbs on it earlier on this thread, but he is not sure he wants it anymore so BUMP, for whoever wants a go at it, or, as Opack suggested, for a nice stool project!

I have removed the headset as I might need it soon on another bike, I took out the BB too, but will let it with the frame if required as it seems to be italian threaded...

nice one veLLo, thanks for the update!
