Hey,

Helping a friend re-furb her bike and the most pressing issue would seem to be the fact that the left crank arm has sheared off the bb.

To be honest, the whole thing is a bit shonky so we're gonna strip off the gears and go for a bit of (ugly) kitten killing and convert to SS.

So - i'm after a relatively cheap crankset - 165 - 172.5mm ideally / ex road is fine. Does anyone have anything they want rid of?

Can pay in money (££), beer, food or favours.

Holla!

Tom

oh and the +bits is less important, but brake levers, long reacher caliper brakes, a nice pair of moustache bars... these would all be good!

Based in Greenwich.
The big ring is a 52, no idea about the granny.
I can dig it out this eve and let you know if you want

Ok cool - I can ride down and collect from you or meet in central.

If anyone has anything else I'd also be keen to see.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
