Big ol' vintage MTB clearout XT Hope Suntour XC Pro Crank Brothers Avid Flite LX WTB etc some NOS 25/12/22 EXTRA PRICE DROPS

3/12/22 THREAD UPDATE: A good few new parts added, including a Ritchey Vantage Sport wheelset with classic XT M730/2 hubs. See end of the parts list. Will also add some DX pedals shortly.

7/12/22 THREAD UPDATE: DX PEDALS & SOME EXTRA LX M560 PARTS ADDED. THINK THAT'S IT NOW:)

20/12/22 UPDATE: PRICE DROPS, SEE BELOW. 25/12/22 AND AGAIN.

Various parts that don't look like they're going to get used, so I'm selling. Prices not including postage. Collection is welcome:) Dibs then PM please.

Paypal gift is my preferred payment type, all prices don't include postage. Royal Mail's standard 2nd class rate is £2.85, so this is what you'll be paying unless you ask for a different service. Possibly cheaper if it fits inside a letter envelope, ask for price. If you can collect then it will be from NW London.
Happy to send outside of the UK at cost, PayPal "friends" payment secures, cold hard cash only I'm afraid folks ;)
Forum donation will be made once a certain amount of stuff sells.

I'm also be adding a mini MT60 groupset, and an Avid brakeset, plus some more XT kit. Hopefully will have these on tomorrow.

Shimano XT FD-M735 front mech
Classic and rare mech with the endless band clamp to reduce weight and fit on certain frames properly. Also adds a classy look on the right frame IMO.
Very nice condition. Mechanically all's well, no play anywhere and all threads are good. Some tarnishing in the chain cage. There's a scuff to the right of the xt logo. Clamp size 28.6mm (but see above). Bottom pull.
£17> £15

Shimano XT BL-M732 canti brakes
A full set of these cantis. Has the original pads except for one of the brakes where I've replaced it with a similar looking Dia Compe pad. They work perfectly. All the hardwares there although some of the straddle cable bits aren't showing in the pics but I'll provide them for the buyer. The alloy bits look quite dirty but this is only tape residue from where the hardware has been taped onto the brakes whilst in storage. I'll clean this off before they're sold. The plastic backing bits aren't cracked. The pads show little wear.
£30> £27

Shimano XT RD-M739 rear mech
Very nice condition although there are slight scuffs along the parallelogram front. Jockeys do show wear but not too noticeable. Threads are all good with no seized bits and pivots have no play. Jockeys are original. For 8 speed setups.
£20> £18

Easton EC70 stem
Excellent condition, looks pretty much as new. Length 10cm. Clamp size 25.4mm, and fits 1 1/8" steerers. Threads and the loy allen bolt head are good.
£20> £17

Easton EA70 seatpost
Nice condition seatpost with lots of layback. Length is 400mm. Diameter 26.8mm. A few marks to the finish from seatpost clamp tightening. No zigzagging. All threads are good.
£15> £13

Control Tech System 3 ahead stem
Excellent condition, except for occasional light scuffs here and there. Plus the original Control Tech stickers on the sides have been replaced with Hope ones. At least I'm guessing they're not underneath the Hope ones. Length 15cm. Clamp size 25.4mm, and fits 1 1/8" steerers. Threads are good.
£20> £17

Shimano LX RD-M550 rear mech
Very nice condition although there are slight scuffs along the parallelogram front but apart from that very tidy looking. Jockeys are virtually new looking. Threads are all good with no seized bits and pivots have no play. For 7 speed setups.
£15> £13

Shimano XT Rapid Rise RD-M760 rear mech
Pretty nice condition although the XT writing on the front has been removed. Jockeys show minimal wear. Threads are all good with no seized bits and pivots have no play. For 9 speed setups. If interested in buying the same series XT kit below as a package with this derailleur, let me know and we can do a deal on the price.
£15> £12

Shimano XT M751 front mech
Pretty excellent condition. Mechanically all's well, no play anywhere and all threads are good. Clamp size 34.9mm. Top pull.

£30> £27> £25

Shimano XT BL-M760 V brakes
A single set of these V brakes. Not sure if these have the original pads. The brakes work perfectly. All the hardware's there although the noodle and rubber bellow can't be seen in the pics. The plastic backing bits aren't cracked. All threads are good and the pads show little wear.
£20> £17

Selle Italia Flite saddle
Classic saddle with ti rails, carbon base and leather cover. But the biggest plus is the superb comfort that many riders experience with this saddle:) In good condition with only a few scuffs and two cuts on either side of the red logo which can't be seen unless looking at the saddle from behind. The saddle hasn't had much usage and doesn't feel saggy when riding.
£35

Selle Italia Flite Genuine Gel saddle
Same as the above Flite but with the gel patches added to the cover. Condition is excellent for the leather cover, with no scuffs and stitched logos are fine. The ti saddle rails don't feel bendy to ride on, and the padding isnt compressed, so I'd guess the saddle's had an easy life.
£30> £27> £25

Selle Italia XO saddle
Pretty excellent condition besides faint fading of the printed Selle Italia logo. Alloy saddle rails. No scuffs and stitched logos are fine. Red colouring hasn''t faded.
£25> £22

Selle Italia Pro Link Genuine Gel saddle
Very good condition besides some removal of the yellow colouring on either side of the nose. No scuffs and stitched logos are fine. Yellow colouring hasn't faded.
£25> £22

WTB Speedy V saddle
Pretty excellent condition with a couple of minor scuffs. Still very comfy:)
£15> £12

Middleburn DH 38t chainring
Pretty minimal usage with little wear to the teeth.
£10> £8

Shimano XT/XTR M747 pedals
Very little use for these. These should last and last- I had a pair of them in the 90's used on all my bikes and hammered them with constant use and racing and they stood it all:)
Bearings buttery smooth and spring tension tight. Everything adjusts fine. Threads good. I'll include a set of new Shimano cleats with these- see pic below.
Price: only £25> £23

Shimano LX M569 chainset
A nice clean example of this chainset. Little wear from usage and the original chainrings are all there and have many more miles in them. The two inner rings show virtually no wear and the outer one isn't far behind. Rings are 42/32/22t. Crank length is 175mm. Threads and tapers are good and all the bolts can be removed and the central lockring isn't seized. If interested in buying the same series LX kit below as a package with the chainset, let me know and we can do a deal on the price.
Price: £15> £13

Shimano LX RD-M570 rear mech
Very nice condition although there are slight scuffs along the parallelogram front but apart from that very tidy looking. Jockeys have little wear although they need a clean up (will do this before giving to the new owner). Threads are all good with no seized bits and pivots have no play. For 9 speed setups.
£20> £17

Shimano LX FD-M570 front mech
Pretty excellent condition. Mechanically all's well, no play anywhere and all threads are good. Some tarnishing in the chain cage. This is an e-type mech suited to certain setups/chainset ratios. Clamp size 31.8mm. Top or bottom pull.
£10> £8

Shimano LX ST-M570 combi shifters/brake levers
These are classic 9 speed combi levers and have a lovely solid feeling shifting mechanism. Pretty excellent condition with just a few scuffs here and there. Mechanically all's well, all threads are good and there's no seized bits.
£30> £27> £25

Shimano LX RD-M565 rear mech
Very nice condition although there are slight scuffs along the parallelogram front but apart from that very tidy looking. Jockeys are virtually new looking. Threads are all good with no seized bits and pivots have no play. For 8 speed setups.
£15> £13

Shimano XT M560 front mech
Pretty excellent condition, although the paintwork has some scuffs. Mechanically all's well, no play anywhere and all threads are good. Clamp size 31.8mm. Bottom pull.
£10> £8

Suntour XC Pro Greasguard rear hub.
Classic hub in NOS condition, although unboxed. It's in mint condition with no giveaway spoke hole markings to indicate spokes were once fitted, but all the same I've checked the bearings to make sure there's no signs of usage and they're untouched. This is the Microdrive version of the hub so the freehub is compatible with Suntour's own classy cassettes. I did actually buy the hub with one of these cassettes but haven't included it here seeing as it has standard road bike ratios, but if it might still be of interest to someone then let me know and I'll provide details. OLN is 135mm. It takes a 6 speed cassette but I believe 7 speed ones can be used. 32 spoke holes.
£50> £45> £40

Suntour XC Comp front hub.
Like the above hub this is also in NOS condition and is also unboxed. It's in mint condition with no giveaway spoke hole markings to indicate spokes were once fitted, but all the same I've checked the bearings to make sure there's no signs of usage and they're untouched. 32 spoke holes.
£20> £18

Shimano Deore DX FH-M650 rear hub with original skewer
Another hub in used condition. It's in virtually mint condition with almost no spoke hole markings to indicate spokes were once fitted. And I've checked the bearings and here too there's pretty much no signs of usage with cones and races only showing the faintest marks from bearing contact. 32 spoke holes. Nb if you'd be interested in a Deore MT60 front hub see further below.
£25> £23

Hope suspension front hub
Excellent sealed bearing hub with ti centre barrel. Aside from some cosmetic marks from use/lacing it is in excellent condition, no cracks, and bearings run super smooth. Also, the Hope logo has worn off and there's a scuff on the top of one of the flanges- see pic. 32 spoke holes.
£25> £22

Blackspire granny ring
In NOS condition. 24 teeth. 56mm bcd.
£10> £8

Specialites TA granny ring.
In good used condition, the teeth are showing wear but still many years of usage remaining. 26 teeth. 74mm bcd.

Salsa chainring bashguard
For 104bcd x 44t chainrings. In a nice matt purple colour. Little sign of use besides slight scuffing here and there.

First gen XT front mech. Excellent condition with no marks showing. No play in pivots and all threads are good. Virtually no wear in the chain cage. 28.6mm band and bottom pull.
£15> £13

Freebie innertubes
A selection of 26'' tubes going gratis, seeing as I have so many tubes they seem to be coming out of my ears. Free to all, although out of fairness to the forum I'd ask that peeps take one tube per purchase of anything else.

Shimano XT RD-M739 rear mech
This is the medium cage version of this mech. It's a nice alternative to the above m738 long cage version if you'd rather avoid an unnecessarily long cage for your gear setup. Low gear max tooth count is 32t (chain wrap 33t).
Very nice condition although there are slight scuffs along the parallelogram front. Jockeys do show wear but not too noticeable. Threads are all good with no seized bits and pivots have no play. Jockeys are original. For 8 speed setups.
£20> £18

Suntour XCD rear mech
Very good condition although there are noticeable scuffs along the parallelogram front. Jockeys do show wear but still years of life left. Threads are all good with no seized bits and pivots have no play. Jockeys are original. For 8 speed setups.
£12> £10

IMG-20221104-164545.jpg

£10> £8

Shimano SG-X outer chainring
104bcd and 48t. NOS condition but no packaging.
£15> £13

Shimano Deore and DX mixed groupset.
This is made up of Deore MT60 and MT62 with the rest being DX. This is nearly the complete groupset, only short of the headset, bottom bracket and seatpost (if one was ever produced).

Shimano Deore MT60 chainset
48/36/24t chainrings with 175mm cranks. In pretty excellent condition. Chainrings show minimal wear, with only the middle ring showing any visible wear. The Deore logos are starting to fade. Threads and tapers are good.
£30> £27> £25

Shimano Deore MT60 canti brakes
A full set of these cantis. Has a full replacement set of Aztec pads. The brakes work perfectly. All the hardware's there although one of the straddle cable bits isn't original. The plastic backing bits aren't cracked. The pads show little wear. The offset adjuster bolts aren't seized. One of the pad retaining widgets had gotten lost, so I replaced it with a Weinmann one that fits the Shimano design.
£30> £27> £25

Shimano Deore MT60 brake levers x2 pairs
Two sets of these brake levers, both in very nice condition. The pivots on all of them are not loose and the barrel adjusters aren't seized. All threads are good. There are no noticeable scuffs on them.

20 per set.> £18

Shimano DX RD-M650 long cage rear mech
Pretty excellent condition although there are slight scuffs along the parallelogram front. Jockeys show minimum wear. Threads are all good with no seized bits and pivots have no play. Jockeys are original. For 7 speed setups.

£20> £18

Shimano DX FD-M650 front mech
Very nice condition. Mechanically all's well, no play anywhere and all threads are good. Some tarnishing in the chain cage. There's a scuff to the right of the xt logo. Clamp size 28.6mm. Bottom pull.

£17> £15

Shimano Deore MT60 front hub with original skewer
Aside from some cosmetic marks from use/lacing it is in excellent condition, and bearings run smooth. Also, the centre barrel logo is starting to show some wear. I've just serviced the bearings and they're running fine.
£12> £10

Shimano LX RD-M550 rear mech
This is the medium cage version of this mech. It's a nice alternative to the above m550 long cage version if you'd rather avoid an unnecessarily long cage for your gear setup.
Very nice condition although there are a fair few scuffs along the parallelogram front. Jockeys show minimum wear. Threads are all good with no seized bits and pivots have no play. Jockeys are original. For 7 speed setups.
£16> £13

Avid Speed Dial 5/Single Digit 3 brakeset.
The brake levers are very adjustable, with the red knobs allowing the cable pull ratio to be fine tuned to suit. Condition is pretty excellent, only the logos on the l/h lever are starting to fade. Mechanically all's well, no slackness in the pivots and nothing's seized in place etc. The v brakes are good solid stoppers. All the hardware's included, although I've not shown the cable connecting gubbins in the pics. The black paintwork shows some scuffs here and there but is still presentable.
£25 complete, or will split.

Crank Brothers Egg Beater Chrome pedals with cleats and box and cleats etc
Not much use on these. These are really solid pedals, especially with these being the cro-moly axle version. They have some scrapes here and there. Spring action is still really tight. Cartridge bearings are smooth with no play. Everything adjusts fine. Threads good. The cleats seen in the box are unused. The fitting hardwear in there is only for the one cleat- I have a spare pair somewhere which I'll dig out for the new owner. One of the plastic end caps went missing but I've replaced it with another cap which fits perfectly and looks OK.
£25> £22

Mr Control seatpost
Carbon seatpost. No scratches to the carbon, although there's slight zigzagging lower down and the branding is pretty worn. There's also scuffs on either side of the cradle 27.2mm diameter. 280mm length from bottom of the cradle to the underside of the post.
£20> £17

Ritchey Vantage Sport 26" wheelset Shimano XT FH-M730/2 hubs
Vintage Ritchey Vantage Sport 26" wheelset. Ritchey rims laced to XT hubs. Front hub has it's original skewer, rear has one that looks similar but is actually a Suntour one.
For 7 speed cassettes, and fits Ultraglide or Hyperglide ones. Hubs spin well. Rims are true. Freewheel clicks loudly. One or two marks around the wheels, but pretty excellent otherwise. The rims show staining from the pads but virtually no actual wear (see closeup pics). I've serviced both the hubs and the front's bearings are perfect. The rear's left hand cone is perfect although the right is starting to show wear but is minimal and still spins sweetly. The rims have been destickered but I strongly believe they're Ritchey Vantage Sport due to the distinctive slightly v shaped profile and the fact that IMO it's unlikely xt hubs would have been built up into wheels where the rims aren't quality ones like the above.
Approximate Measurements:
135 mm - Rear Wheel Spacing
100 mm - Front Wheel Spacing
36h - Spoke Count

£60> £55> £50

Shimano XT FH-M730 front hub
Fitted with non original skewer but it's a Shimano one from the correct era. I've serviced the hub and the bearings are perfect. The hub has been used though and there's marks from the spokes pressing on the flanges. There's also slight alloy staining around the flanges. 36 spoke holes.
£20> £17

Shimano IG51 chain
8 speed NOS chain. 116 links. For Uniglide cassettes but also perfectly fine with the newer HG ones. Would be a useful buy if also buying the above wheelset, as the rear wheels takes the Uniglide cassettes.
£7> £6

Amoeba stem
Excellent condition 90's girder type stem. Quite a steep upwards angle. 90mm length. For 1 1/8'' steerers. Fit' s 26. 0mm bars. Virtually no marks around the stem. All threads are good.
£15> £13

Shimano PD-M323 pedals
One sided SPD pedals. These look to be the first version of the ever popular m324 pedals that are around today! Very nice pedals with solid build and smooth sealed bearings. They spin well with no play. Both end caps are present. Little wear on the pedals. The spd mechanism can be adjusted fine.
£20> £17

New parts added 7/12/22:

Shimano Deore DX PD-M650 pedals
Very good condition, all allen bolts intact, although one pedal has bolts taken from another pedal, but they fit and look similar to the originals. Cages in a good used condition with all teeth in place. The previous owner of the pedals decided the paintwork was looking worn so decided to strip and respray them with a tough hammerite type paint which looks like it will endure. The DX logos still show through but obvs now the white infill paint is gone. Bearings are smooth and both end caps in place. Standard 9/16" threading.

£30> £27

Shimano LX BL-M600 brake levers
Pretty excellent condition for these brake levers. The pivots on all of them are not loose and the barrel adjusters and other adjustable bits aren't seized. All threads are good. There are virtually no scuffs on them. See above LX m560 parts which belong to the same series/era (despite not having the m560 designation).

£20> £18

Shimano LX HB - M560 front hub with original skewer
Very good condition with just some spoke pressure marks showing on the flanges. I've checked and serviced the bearings and they're showing the first signs of wear with a few tiny spots on both of the races. Despite this they spin very smoothly. 32 spoke holes.
£15> £12

Shimano LX Parallax HB - M563 front hub
This is the oversized version of the above hub, and unless I'm mistaken could be a suspension hub, seeing as it doesn't just have an oversized hub shell but the cones are also oversized, so well suited to cope with the extra stresses/stop hub slop when cornering fast, caused by suspension forks. Very good condition with virtually none of the usual some spoke pressure marks showing on the flanges. I've checked and serviced the bearings and left side cone is perfect, whilst the right side is showing the first signs of wear with a few tiny spots showing. Still spins very smoothly. 32 spoke holes.

£15> £12

ODI grips
Used 80s grips but still look pretty new looking, there's a few scuffs but that's it. Theyre translucent/creamy coloured. Pretty rare ODI grips.

£10> £9

Shimano LX FD-M550 front mech
Pretty excellent condition. Mechanically all's well, no play anywhere and all threads are good. Some tarnishing in the chain cage. Clamp size 31.8mm. Bottom pull.
£12> £10

Some cool stuff. How much for the Odyssey Shark Bites (and are they 1/2” or 9/16” - assume 9/16”, as mtb thread) please?

Ta, glad you like the thread:) However, please note that only the items that are named and described are included. Unfortunately I've managed to include a few pics of parts sold elsewhere, just trying to organise all the info in the thread, and leaving pics to last, although I can see it can confuse peeps a little.

Hey, keen on the avid V brake set if you’ll post! Will DM

Hello there,

Unknown to lfgss forum etiquette.

But will you do £40 on the ti flite and the middleburn ring? Plus the £3.35 postage fee.

Thanks 🙏

Right, now I’ve clarified on RB do you have the yellow genuine gel saddle?

Thanks 🙏

Well, with very desirable stuff like Flite saddles I wouldn't really consider a discount being involved, but seeing as you're buying a second item (plus I note your helpful heads up from when I was selling the parts on another forum) so in this case it's OK. Just pm me. BTW I reckon forum etiquette here isn't opposed to peeps asking for discounts as, despite this bumping up the thread, the seller does the same thing anyway when he bumps the thread when giving price drops, albeit this is usually on multiple/all items.

And I'll also sell you the yellow saddle:)

Undibs on flite and middleburn ring😊

I've PMd about the Avid brakes, just checking you've seen it?

Yes you did, didn't you. Unfortunately I wasn't aware due to my message notification icon not changing colour to signify there's a new message. Must be an error with the forum. Anyhow, will reply soon.

Avid brakeset SOLD.
