[strike]Hiya folks,
Found myself sitting on the following for a while, probably about time I pass them on. Cash on collection, pick up from Richmond/Kingston/Teddington any day of the week - would rather not post. Dibs and PMs please.
Close-ups of everything in this flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/86540061@N08/sets/72157631383295926/
1 - GB Handlebars, gold central sleeve, 26.4mm clamp - £8
They aren't great, pretty scratched up. Ideal for adding some bling to your beater I guess.
2- Sakae SR Road Champion Bars, 26.0mm clamp - £10
All right condition, pretty scratched but with a bit of elbow grease and steel wool should come out nicely. Yummy shape.
3 - Dura Ace (?) cable tensioners thingies - £10
Now, my bikes only have downtube shifters so I have no idea what these do - they came of a Koga-Miyata frame I bought. Someone told me they tension cables and that they're DA and that they should fetch a tenner. They look complete and are in great condition, I think... So there you go
[strike]4 - Weinmann brake levers with safety levers - £8
Pretty good condition, quite nice levers. Missing the tube thing that goes in the top and tightens the cable (what's it called? I've always wondered).[/strike]
5 - SR Royale chainset, driveside only, 170mm, 52-42 - £15
Lovely chainset in quite good condition. Inner chainring is pretty worn (not by me!). All threading okay (definitely usable). Treat your beater with a nice bit of kit!
[strike]**6 - Dia Compe 400 brake callipers, front and back, short-reach - £15 **
Great condition with all the parts and original brake pads. Brake drop of 3-5cm.[/strike]
**7 - Clamp-on Shimano 600 Arabesque shifters - £8 **
Great condition but not quite complete. in need of one outer plastic nut and one screw (the one with the handle).
**8 - Iscaselle suede saddle, brown - £3 **
Pretty scuffed up and has a rip on the nose. Quite comfy though and looks good. Yet another treat for the beater.
9 - Generic Shimano Freewheel, 14-24, brand new - £8
10 - Shimano 600 Bottom Bracket, 116mm, British threads - £12
Really lovely condition and a great BB. Still nice 'n shiny.
Front Wheel - Normandy hub on Fiame Yellow Label clinchers, 27" - £10
Really nice high flange wheel in terrible condition. Desperate need of a regrease and a polish. Rims are fairly pock-marked. A rebuild and some sand paper should leave you with a really lovely wheel though.
Exchange
I'm after some nice moustache handlebars with a 25.4clamp, a domed dust cap for an old Lyotard pedal, a decent 1/8 chain, a dynamo bottle charger (preferably Novilux) and a dark brown or black leather saddle so will definitely exchange/part exchange for any of the above.
Free(ish)cycle
[strike]Broken Brooks B5N - £ale or biscuits provisionally gone to RWGR
Leather is in good condition and it has most of the parts needed to repair it I think. Not really sure if this is of use to anyone but it would be a shame to throw it out - the rails and leather are certainly usable.[/strike]
4 pretty awful brake pads - free as a bird
Maillard 700 hub with nice suntour freewheel - £ale of biscuits
NOT SAFE FOR RIDING, cannot stress this enough. It doesn't show but the flanges are bent. The axle and cups can be reused though and the freewheel is a really lovely one if anyone has a way of getting it off (5 speed Suntour Perfect).
And that's your lot. Donation already made to forum in a premature celebration of this sale and the space it'll save me in my bedroom - hooray. Have a wonderful day. [/strike]
