London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of predominantly fixed gear and single-speed cyclists in and around London, UK.
This site is supported almost exclusively by donations. Please consider donating a small amount regularly.
Have a few random bits to clearout, so I'll use the opportunity to try to lure people to West's Christmas drinks , so the strong preference is for handover at the Grand Junction Arms, sometime 6:30-8.
Most will be free, some I wouldn't mind getting a swap for, so bring something else you have that is marginally useful to trade ;) Dibs is useful so I know what to bring, but I won't save things for after drinks, so whoever turns up there will have right of first refusal.
Free bits
Santa's Moustache (bars). I have a few of these - the scratched one can go free but I might want a trade for the nicer ones. They are quite narrow, and not like any other bars I've ridden with.
quill stem adapter for 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" - if you are wondering if this is the size you need, it probably isn't. I bought it by accident, and have never used it. Because it doesn't fit anything sensible you would want to use it for.
another seemingly useless item?! not sure I have seen any 1 1/8" threaded forks anytime in the last decade (maybe for MTB), but I've got 2 headsets for that inevitable crisis of finding such forks, so I reckon I can spare one!
random quill stem fits 1" forks and normal (not OS) bars. (Sierra Nevada not included)
old school pedals with reflectors - can't make out any details.
gel saddle-cover thing, supposedly for the laydeez - not sure why, as I am told it is about as comfortable as cycling on a waterbed.
Secret Santa Swap items
I am willing to trade most of these for items of similar value - I had in mind the £5 secret santa spending limit for those of us who work in that kind of dreary office environment ;)
Santa's little helper3TTT forgie stem, I can't remember exactly but I think it's 130mm. Never used or even fitted. Just didn't feel appropriate.BNIB Subrosa transparent charcoal grips (would happily trade for used track grips)
Lyotard pedals - one end cap missing
BNIB Bell ladies helmet
Selle San Marco ProVIP L? unused
rubbery saddle with 25.4 seatpost
Also have a couple of strange huge saddles, which I can't imagine being of use to anyone (except in a post-operative or therapeutic capacity?) but I would happily trade them:
As stated before, first refusal goes to those who will be at West beers tomorrow, but dibs if you want something in particular, so I am sure to bring it (may not bother with bars otherwise). Hoping this will drum up some interest in swapping bits (looking at you @hamrack @ChewyCheeks @fasih ).
