Freecycle: Two frames, stems, seatpost

  • **ALL ITEMS NOW COLLECTED
    **
    2 frames with some work to do on them. Also a couple of bits - these may not be the last of the stuff I'm clearing out but I'll start another thread if I find any more.
    **
    Free to collect from hackney, first come first served, pm to arrange a time or can bring to east drinks this Wednesday.** Please only dib if you're serious, collection as soon as possible gets you the booty.

    Frame 1: Raleigh Gran Sport, c. 1982, 531c tubing, 23inches. This was second in the Raleigh range as far as I remember, beautiful bike built up with all Campagnolo Gran Sport. The drive side stay got damaged after a fall, resulting in paint scratching and the loss of the dropout. A damn shame, but easily rectifiable with someone local who does this (dropout is Vitus) - should be around the £30 mark. The rest of the frame is fine and even lovely, though the chroming on the forks is a bit scrappy. But this would be a great frame to get back up and running, it just had a bit of bad luck and would be a damn shame to have to trash it.Includes ropey headset. **FREE **

    Frame 2: unknown Raleigh frame, 23inches aka "The Clapham Slapper", certainly 531 or better as 27.0 seat tube, last year this took me to Cambridge with lfgss and took me all over London until one night the seat post binder bolt barrel snapped as I hit a pot hole.. I filed it down ready for repair as I loved riding it but since then the frame has been in a cupboard waiting - and now I have to admit I just haven't got the time or space anymore. Includes BB. FREE

    Bits: custom stem, painted blue for some ungodly reason, with bolt, all present and correct, easy job stripping paint off, 100mm FREE

    some other stem someone saw fit to paint blue, nice and interesting little curio but no bolts, 70mm,** FREE **

    itm stem, handlebar tightener bolt but no bottom section or top bolt, 90mm FREE

    3ttt seatpost, beautiful old school style, fluted, think it's 27.2, insertion marks galore FREE

    Incredible, stunning, luscious "Elite" bronze bottle cage, be the envy of simply everyone** FREE**

  • okay it's a clean fight so far - guys, I'll honour the dibs I got through pm and on thread at the moment but please do make it asap or the times you said as other people are interested - if things get delayed and others are waiting I'll let them know. If no-one else is waiting then we'll sort another time out but in any case I'd like to wave a tearful goodbye to these by Wednesday night...
