dan i would probably want to dibs the 18t. but I'm uneasy about dibsing on things with u after a convo i had with asim earlier

Eh? Did you dibs the Pompino at the pub?

Interested to see what this looks like!

Ammended.

yeah, but we've sorted it now. hes gunna have it.. but let me use it WHENEVER i like.

In fact Dan can I have the ratty freewheel since it's 18t also..

Certainly. Sorry, something rang a bell in my head, but I couldn't actually fully remember it. Too drunk. Will bring freewheel on Sunday.

hes gunna have it.. but let me use it WHENEVER i like.

hey matt wheres all this agression coming from man. no need for all the caps. As I said yesterday since you dibs the pompino you can have it, probobably suit you a lot better as my extreme weight would turn that crack into a crumple zone :).

anyway i am going back to bed, my cold combined with spicy south indian cuisine has sent my body into meltdown.

OK, my stem takes 1inch/25.4mm bars. Let me know what size the clamp area is later. Cheers

Hey Stu. Got the bars and levers with me. They're 25.4 clamp and approx 62 wide! Have a look later at beers and see what you think :)

Anyone building up a geared bike - Got some bits, also have a compatible wheelset if anyone's interested. Perfect for that 80's steed. I'd like £100 ONO for the groupset and can do the wheels for £50 aswell. Will get photos of the wheels later.

Brake levers are BL-1051 - The later aero ones (not 1050 as the rest of the group) Cranks are 170mm and include original dust caps, rings are in reasonable condition. The BB is not Shimano, it's a 113mm sealed rpm job with around 100miles on it, chain is KMC with the same mileage. Included are two Uniglide 6 speed cassettes, one is 13, 15, 17, 19, 21,24 in reasonable condition and the other one is 13-18 and fairly worn.

Anyone interested in this? It's just been sitting in my garage for the past couple of months so I thought I'd see if anyone local wants it.

-Raleigh 25 Inch Carbonite 18-23 Frame (England)
-Great Chrome Rims
-Genuine Raleigh White Seat
-Maillard Hubs (France)
-Chrome Seat Post
-Lightweight Crank (JUST REPLACED)
-Brand New KCM Chain
-Brand New Fixed Rear Cog
-Drop Bars
-Good Tyres
-Brand New Pedals with white leather straps
-Recently installed front brake (easily removable)

Only reason I'm selling it is it's a little too big for me, so I'd consider a trade or make a fair offer.

Anyone have a cheap 26.8mm seat post, or able to lend me one to check the sizing of a frame?

I've got a well used one you can have for free steve - After any other bits? i've got aload of freecycle stuff that i need to get rid of.

Cheers Tom :)

I think I'm going to need:

Pedals and cages
Straps (might shell out on some half decent double straps)
Saddle (looking for something like a used brooks)
Bars (considering bullhorns - profile air-wing style)
Maybe a new stem if the bars are anything other than 25.4mm
Front brake (don't know drop yet, forks in the post!)
Lever (depends on what bars I settle for).
track cog - about 16t or 17t.
Lock ring.

Not much then! I might need to try a few seat posts. I suspect the frame is 27.2 but the seat cluster has been over-tightened, so it needs some work (hence trying a smaller seat post and trying to figure it out).

I've got a 26.8 Micro adjust, a 26.8 old school seperate clamp job, and a 27.2 micro adjust That I sanded down so much it is now more like a 27.1 or 27.0 - Tried it in my dolan (27.2) and it was far too loose. You can take them all, feel free to chuck them away if they don't fit. I've got a couple of beater saddles - Stripped turbo (needs recovering ideally) and some awful skinny racer thing, and a 25.4 mm crosstop brake lever.

Im after a long 27.2 steel seat post if anybody has one ,condition doesnt matter

Steve, I've got a couple of brakes you can have, for a small price of course.
