• As some of you may well by aware I got stitched up with a dented Rock Lobster frame that although I have been assured is perfectly fine to ride I've fallen out with it and am offering it up here along with some other bits so I can fund my MTB project

    1) Rock Lobster Reynolds 853 MTB frame 19"
    Price SOLD

    Please note the dent in the top tube I have tried to show it as best as possible but you are more than welcome to come and take a look for yourselves The frame does have various other scratches on it and chips in the paint - it has obviously been well used in a past life!

    It has both disc and v brake mounts. I paid £100 for it before I knew it was dented. I'm putting it up here for £25 due to the dent in the top tube.

    2) Visp alloy frame and fork 56cm
    Price SOLD

    I bought this after I missed my old one, rode it around for a little while, the bottom bracket started to make a awful noise then picked up a Dolan Fxe instead. The cranks and bottom bracket are included but as mentioned I think the bottom bracket is toast. Also both of the extracting threads are stripped on the cranks so I can't get them off. Someone else might have more luck than me but I have given up on it myself.

    Also it is worth noting that the rear dropouts are quite thick so your rear axle needs to be quite long to be able to screw the bolts on to secure the rear. I know that ambrosio hubs are no good.

    3) Stronglight 170mm cranks 48t chainring 107mm BB
    SOLD

    These are in perfect working order. They were used for 20 miles then taken off and put back in the box.

    Collection from EC1 london near the three kings pub I can probably post the cranks but due to the price of the frames it's not worth posting either of them.. Cash is king no dibs

  • dibs cranks

  • pm'd

  • Cranks gone
    Visp frame should be collected this afternoon.

    Cheers

  • I vote for Superted to pull the dent, make some forks and change the Rock Lobster's dropouts to horizontal. I'll do it if no one else will.

  • Did you settle things with the seller edgar?

  • Nope, I never heard anything back from him in the end.

  • No way. I would raise it with Velocio and see if he can help out, before selling on at a loss.

  • What a jerk! hopefully it gets sorted somehow. Gl with the sale.

  • Next day posting business - much appreciated!

  • dibs the Lobster, PM coming

  • I'd buy the VIsp if you would ship.
