    10.) 42-46t single speed chainset

    Show me what you've got!

    Edit: Thanks to Diamond Supercool I now have a few of the parts that I was after. But I have also discovered that I need a 25.4mm seatpost as well.

    I also have two seatposts for sale, which I stupidly bought without knowing the exact measurements I needed:

    1.) 27.2mm SR Sakae Laprade, short and fluted, £5
    2.) 27.0mm Tahoma, very long and very light, £5. SOLD

  • I've got a couple of 26.8 seatposts, a short scratched black one with Koga written on it, and an almost new silver Push one, very long.

    I've also got a single used Schwalbe Lugano tyre you could have for free.

    If you wanted one of the seatposts and the tyre, that could be a tenner?

    (if you're interested I can put up photos tomorrow evening, I'll be busy until then unfortunately)

  • What length stem do you need?

  • ^^I'd like a picture of the black one if that's alright. What colour is the tyre?

    ^Not hugely fussed because I'm not building it for me, so around 80mm I suppose.

  • Hey, did you get my PM re the freewheel and cranks? Cheers, Tom

  • tommmmmmm I've got a caliper (Condor) you can have for free. Only thing is that it's missing the press clamp bit for the cable..

  • ^^ Yeah thanks for that, I've replied at last.

    Apollo, I'll give you a text and hopefully come over this afternoon/evening.

  • ^^ Yeah thanks for that, I've replied at last.

    Apollo, I'll give you a text and hopefully come over this afternoon/evening.

  • I'm happy to trade either of the above seatposts for anything on the list by the way.

  • I have a 20t freewheel new and unused.

  • Nice one, I just PM'd you about the bars so I'll have a look at that at the same time.

  • I'd also be very happy with a 700c (or 27" for that matter) wheelset with a 5-speed freewheel block. I've been toying with the idea of making the 531 frame into a nice summery town bike.

  • mate on inspection the threads are fkd so I dont know if its worth it. welcome to have a go though

  • First seatpost on the left is 26.8 (but it's a suspension seatpost sadly). The third one from the left is 26.4. £5 for either.

    These are all standard 26mm quill stems. Different lengths £5 each.

    Top row, third from left is a Shimano dual pivot front brake with allen key fitting. Top row, far left is a pair of weinmann 50mm drop calipers. £12 for shimano. £7 for weinmanns.

    I've also got four or five sets of used tyres in varying widths between 23mm and 28mm and varying condition. Redwall, whitewall, amberwall. No photos yet - sorry. Also about five or six drop handlebars. Again, no photos yet - sorry.

    I'm in SW2 near Brockwell Park if you want to have a look at any of this stuff. Send me a PM if so. Cheers.

  • Still after a few parts if anyone can help me out.

  • Push Seatpost 26.8 £8
    Koga Seatpost 26.8 £8
    2 x Continental Grand Prix Tyres (£15 for pair) , 1 x Schwalbe Lugano (free)

    3TTT Stem £10ish (120mm long, not sure if 25.4 or 26 - maybe there is a way of finding out that I haven't thought about?)

    Interested in anything? Prices are pretty flexible as I don't know what would constitute a fair price and I'm more wanting to clear up some space than to make money.

  • I got a 26.8mm seatpost this afternoon only to find that the bike I thought needed one actually needed 26.4mm, and the bike I thought needed 26.4 needs 25.4. But thanks anyway!

    I'd be keen on the stem if you could determine the size, but the only way I could think of to do that would be to try it with 26mm bars and see if it would go. Where are you based? And thanks!

  • Based in Warwick Avenue, working in Farringdon.

    I know it fits on the bars on my bike, but I'm not sure what size they are either. I'll see if I can find out what size they are - I don't have a vernier caliper, so can't find out that way, but I might be able to find out from the model name + internet investigation.

  • Hmm, investigation is ambiguous, they are Italmanubri Mod. Europa Super Racing, which are claimed to be 25.4 here and 26 here. So I'm not sure.

  • Hilary Stone says that 3TTT stems are 26:

    Quill stems come with different clamp diameters and occasionally different quill diameters.

        Common clamp diameters are 26.4mm (most Cinelli  pre-1995), 26.0mm (3TTT, Mavic, some ITM, some Nitto) and 25.4mm (SR,  GB, some Nitto and ITM)

  • They do seem to do other sizes as well, 25.8mm too, but I suppose that would fit as well.

    Thinking about it, 120mm might be a bit long though. The bike it's going on already has a longer top tube than seat tube, with a long stem as well it's only going to be fit for someone with gibbon-like proportions. I might have to give it a miss I'm afraid, though I really do appreciate you going to the trouble of uploading all the pics and doing the research.

  • Although in typical Planet X style, the options at the bottom of the page actually say it's a 26.

    No problem, I'm going to make a sale thread some time anyway so needed to take photos etc. I found the stem too long as well which is why I swapped it out.

  • 2.) 27.0mm Tahoma, very long and very light, £5.

    I would like this. can you post?

  • Yep, PM'd

  • Right, I'm now almost finished with the first build, but I really need brake calipers.

    Dual pivot, nut fitting, c.50mm drop. Tektro R538/R539, something like that. Anyone got anything?
