    Hi few bits for sale as I have no space for lots of lovely bike stuff anymore and the person who was storing my stuff is now moving house! :o(

    Unknown Raleigh 531 frame for sale. 21" rides nice and has a new bottom bracket.

    Dura ace 7400 cranks and a sugino ring which hasn't seen a whole lot of use.

    Plenty of room in the rear drop outs for singlespeed or fixed.

    Bad bits:

    Needs a new headset as the bearings have gone.
    Crack in the frame on one of the seat stays, although this was there when I bought the frame about 3 years ago and it hasn't given up the ghost yet :o) Could always get it welded when you get it resprayed though (this is what I had in mind originally but I never got round to it)

    £65 picked up from Manchester.

    Next up a Harry Hall track frame and forks 21"

    I'm not 100% on the years this was built but when I emailed the shop Graham Hall Harry's son sent this reply.

    "I'd say it's nearer 40 years old. And probably made by a polish frame builder who worked for my father called Roger Kowalski.
    He was an excellent craftsman as you'll notice if you check out the clean lines on the seat stay tops, very difficult to do.
    It may even have been built in the old prison building that used to be on Fennell street.
    Also the seat tube badge gives its age away, we've never used them since I've been here and I started in 1976.

    Its definitely a classic

    Look after it."

    And look after it I have... by doing absolutely nothing to it :o(

    It's got a Campagnolo record headset that has surface rust but feels a smooth as butter (good old campag) clean up and it would look lovely.
    The bottom bracket feels smooth and nice.
    The cranks should not, in my opinion, be on this beautiful old frame but whip 'em off and you can sell 'em on ebay or on here?

    There's surface rust on the frame but nothing serious.

    Now a nice half built road bike.

    Made by JF Wilson of Sheffield 531 - 21"

    Mismatch of bits on it, shimano 600 rear mech and brake levers, sakae cranks, weinnman brakes, no name fluted seat post and missing a front wheel as I pinched it for another bike.
    It needs a quick check over as I've not ridden it but the bb and the headset feel smooth.

    £160 posted £140 picked up from Mcr

    Something bit different now but thought it was worth sticking it on as I know some of you like a bit of mountain biking as well.

    Santa Cruz Juliana - M frame

    Bought this from STIF in leeds about 5 years ago and rode it a few times for a year before sticking to my hardtails and so it sat in the hallway looking sad.
    It's in good nick and the stanchions are clean.
    Spec is:
    Hope / santa cruz hubs on mavic 717 rims
    WTB momentum c headset
    Fox 100 RL forks 100mm
    Truvativ cranks
    Thomson stem
    Easton seatpost
    Sram X9

    Cost well over 2k new, I want £650 for it, posted.


    Pm for more info - cheers!

    p.s. I'll donate from the sale if anything goes through the forum, I'm advertising elsewhere but will update the thread as things get sold.

    Nitto bar and pearl stem for sale.

    Few scratches on the bars where I've fit grips and taken em off etc. Might polish out. Couple of marks on the top of the stem.

    Grips are some cut down yoshida champs so they're comfy.

    On one fleegle pro in black. 25.4mm / 660mm, not going to post this one as they're going so cheap from on one. £5 picked up from Mcr if anyone wants it.

    PM for them.
