So the forks and the bars have gone. Just the hub left.
I've dropped the price, but make me an offer!
-
The front rack has gone, yay.
Also confirming that the forks have no rack eyelets - thought they do have mudguard ones. the steerer is 250mm long.

Pm's replied to. Looks like there are dibs on the rack and bars.

Having a clear out after a series of upgrades.
First of all is a set of P2 disc forks I had on my pompetamine. These were second hand when I bought but are tough steel and still do the job fine. The steerer is cut and is a little short for an xl pomp (will measure shortly ed 250mm ish). They have a crown race and gyro star nut and top cap which meanzzz bar spinnzzzz £10 SOLD SOLD SOLD
Next is a pair of nitro moustache bars which were the wrong shape for me, glad I tried them though. Have a few little scratches where I put brakes and a few old bit of tape which will clean off easy. £20 SOLD SOLD SOLD
Now a detachable frame mounting dutch style front rack. This thing is heavy and very strong, you and the bike and the road beneath you will fail before this thing. Totally overkill for what I need and thus for sellz still in great nick with no major scratches. £30 SOLD
Last is a sturmy archer XL-RD5(W) hub. This a new 5 speed hub with mahousive drum brake. The brake is properly awesome with loads of stopping power. The gears are currently less good and the hub needs stripping with some new grease. I unfortunately don't have the tool to do this so will sell it cheap. I comes with all the needed hardware except the anti twist washers which are cheap and available here
This is a really good hub with a very useable range of gears for a commuter.
£50 Price dropping.....

why has flickr made it hard to link photos? GrumpsAll prices are negotiable, if you're a nice and pleasant negotiator.
Pick up in peckham is preferred, though i often venture up town or ride to Reading.Will/Have donated to forum for all it's excellentness.

This looks really nice. The fork looks very similar to the thorn disc fork, though I guess it has more offset.
-
Yes it is 135mm, you're in luck!
-
Not a lot. That is a rare hub. Very expensive phil woods is the only option I think. Maybe a surly one, not sure if it is 135mm though.

he he what a fun thread. Lots of fail on the monty hall problem by the way. 1/2 never comes into it at all. But even Erdos got it wrong so don't worry. I've got quite a fun book that goes really deep into it if anyone wants to borrow it.
Great to see an off topic project. Really interesting.
