selling this, would take a lower offer if someone wanted it in brum.

In my old age I think I have posted this but can't find it again so:
Planet-x carbon seatpost. Fitted to my pompino for all of a month, but I'm a luddite and hold no truck with carbon fibre. I've downgraded to an alloy seatpost and am much happier with that.
They're £72 new + delivery, I'd be happy with a bit under half that, or a trade for a silver alloy seatpost in the genre of the planet x superlight (needs to be longer than 250 though).
27.2 in all cases. Link to planet x

hello fellow brummites
i'm on the look out for a singlespeed mtb frame.
cheers me dears

n3lson, does it have to be modern?

Im doing a bit of work at an old bike shop and theyve got loads of really old mtb frames, a few with semi-horizontal drops. They usually sell em for about £40 if its made of something decent like 531.

modern is not a priority, which bike shop you at?

Has anyone got a spare brake lever, crosstop or BMX style, standard clamp size? possibly the left of a set or something? Cheers!

I may also have a set of Sugino 75 cranks available soon if anyone would be interested. reasonably well used, with a little bit of the threading sheared on one side (not enough to cause problems getting 'em off..)

I might have a brake lever, and I may also be interested in those 75's dependent on length & price of course.

the cranks are 165. Would also have a campy BB for 45mm chainline and I'll check to see the condition of the 75 BB too if either of them could be useful. Just looked at the threads - it seems to be literally half a thread thats come off, I'll get some pictures up in a bit. Maybe about 80 ONO. Or something nice in JIS.

anyone got any shimano double cranks with or without chainrings, any old condition, square taper? cheers all.

I do actually, dura ace (though not carbon fibre), with chainrings

Anyone got a large chainring? For the smaller chain size.. Need to up my speed!

Thomas, you need to measure the bcd to find out what type of chainring you need or tell us the model of the cranks.

They're Campagnolo 'Centaur'. Says 172.5 on the chain ring arm.

They're Campagnolo 'Centaur'. Says 172.5 on the chain ring arm.

The bcd/pcd (bolt/pitch circle diameter) is the distance between the bolts - centre to centre - that hold the chainring.
172.5 is the arm length
135mm is your bcd i believe from having a quick search.

Would anyone happen to have a set of deep drop handlebars for sale? 40cm preferred. The bars i'm using at the moment are too shallow - so they're up for exchange if required.....

Not sure how deep but I have some Cinelli Criterium track(ish) bars... I swear by them and I reckon theyre badder and a nicer fit than any bars out there!

Holler if your interested.

ps. still got those Nitto joints?

gav does your mate in the shop still want the campy hub I showed him ages ago?

Ah Mr Aeronaught - I'm interested in your bars mate. Will text you for details later. As for the Nitto's - i sold 'em on here a few weeks ago to a geezer up in Glasgow. Sorry mate!

Just destroyed my old stronglight cranks and chainring in a jammed drivetrain incident, not sure how it happened but there are bits of chainring all over the road. Anyhow, I am not all over the road and in need of some preferably vintagey shimano cranks pref 39 or 42t any considered. Ben, can I have some pics of DA crank please. Do people think I'm better off buying newer and maybe stronger single cranks than using old road doubles?

Older road doubles would be better. I run shimano 600's for example which are excellent. You can buy bens DURA-ACE for just a few quid. To buy similar quality new in the form of a single, youd be looking at stuff like sugino 75's which would cost you a lot of dorrars.

Yep I'll take pics tomorrow, sorry I've just been busy.

cheers DFP, I have 600 on my geared bike and they seem solid n good.

ok here it is
