Wanted: Stem, Bars and Headset

Posted on
  • Hi chaps,

    I'm after a quill stem, 42cm bars and 1" headset of some description. Thanks!

  • obviously i will pay for such things.

  • I have a zenith quill stem and some of those ergo bars, they dont really go with any of my (70's) frames so they're yours for £25 posted together or £13 separate if you like

  • Got an 80mm stem going for £15. PM if interested

  • I've got these that match your description.
    42cm bars/quill stem/grips/non-aero brake levers and a bell ->£20
    As for the headset, eBay/Ribble/Wiggle do them for around £10


  • Wow Vince those look crazy. I kinda like them though. Do the levers even detach or are they in some mad all-in-one plastic/grip ensemble?

    What did they come off out of interest? And what's the deal with the pressed metal tag on the stem bolt?

    These came off a 1977 Motobecane bike that I 'upgraded' for a colleague at work. He wanted aero levers with brake cables under the bar tape.

    You can unbolt the levers and slide off the soft rubber grips (although I don't think that will be an easy job, as I always find it hard to remove long grips off bars).

    The bars are AVA, the stem has no markings, the pressed metal tag is the name & address of the previous owner (old school datatag...) which you can easily remove.

    More rubbery grip action here if that's your thing:

    Here is the Motobecane bike with the bars on:
