Maybe someone sat on one and realised the comfort levels didn’t match the cost - it’s a pretty harsh ride. Will be swapped out in due course I think.

I switched these out from this bike https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/398115/ to make this bike https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/400867/#comment17584561
The rims look like they’ve barely touched a brake. They were glued with some tubs but otherwise in good condition. I’m sure a little polish would bring them up really nice. I’ve removed the hubs for another project but these are surplus to requirements.
They are 36 hole.
The bars are in good nick. A few marks. 42cm across.
£15 each seems fair. Collection from Tottenham. Not keen to post as expensive and I don’t have a box.

Picked this up from @PhiljimPott a while back from here (https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/398115/) Pretty sure it had never been ridden - rims were untouched, drive train and brakes untouched - just a whole lot of crud and some rust from sitting it’s whole life in a shed.
Swapped out the drops for something friendlier for the city, switched out the tubs for some clinchers in the parts bin and changed the seat post as wasn’t keen on the black campag one. All the previously rusty bits were soaked in evaporust which cleaned them up nicely and a bit of tin foil on the forks removed the rust. The frame rust wasn’t easy to shift so left it as is. It’s a runabout so don’t want anything pristine!
The grease in the headset and bottom bracket was as thick as treacle so they got serviced and now run like new.

Yes still looking for a shim that’ll fit these 23.8 bars without luck so far. May need to make my own
