    Updated list of what I've got left.

    Restrap Diagonal Straps - £10
    SKS Mudguards £8
    Odyssey Twisted Chameleon Purple Pedals £10
    Dia Compe Guideonnet Brake Levers £12
    Cane Creek 200TT £5
    Tange 1" Threaded chrome fork for 27" wheel £20

    Forgot to mention that the SKS mudguards are essentially brand new.
    Bought on the forum a while back, but were missing the bits that connect the "V-stays" to the mudguards themselves, and were sold as being new when I got them.
    Have just sat gathering dust as I forgot to source the bits needed.

    @arrrghsam - what width are the slice bars please?

    Just measured, they're around 440mm. To confirm, they've got a 25.4mm clamp size.
    I can take additional photos if you like? They're in reasonably good condition but have some scrapes around the clamp area and residue from bar tape.

    Pretty hopeless third dibs on the 700c wheels. I live on Rustat Road if that helps. Let me know if by some divine intervention they become available. Thanks.

    Just round the corner from me then!
    Will let you know if they become available.

    Thanks for getting back. Steerer too long for me though. Unless anybody knows where I can get cutting and threading done on the cheap.
    Thanks anyway.

    No problem!
    Haven't got a clue in terms of recutting/threading unfortunately, that was my issue with the forks too.
    To be fair I didn't really do any research into it and they've just sat in my cupboard for a year.

    PM re basket and clipsnpedals

    Just replied.

    Fork steerer length is 195mm, about 105mm of that is threaded.
    Unfortunately I've got no way of weighing it, to hold it's certainly not the heaviest I've felt, but it won't be winning any awards for being ultra lightweight!
    It isn't recessed for a brake nut, taken a photo to show, it's like that on both front and back.

    I'll take the Rolls - where you based for collection?

    I'm based near Rustat Road, so could meet on either Mill Rd or Hills Rd pretty easily.
    Will PM you now.

    damn i'll have second dibs on the wheel set

    Will let you know, have told Luca when I'm available and waiting to hear back from him.

    Have some bits I need get rid of, and I'd rather they went locally.
    Stopped riding quite a while ago and am unfortunately moving and need to downsize massively, so the bike bits are the first to go, especially as I'm now plunging all of my money into my MK2 Golf.

    Most of it's priced pretty cheaply I think, but if I've overpriced anything please let me know, or feel free to make me an offer.

    List is as follows, not necessarily in the order shown in the photos though:

    Cheap 700c wheel set (w/14t fixed cog and 18t ss) - £15
    New Continental Ultrasport £10
    Continental Gatorskin £free
    San Marco Rolls £15
    Wald 139 - £20
    Restrap Diagonal Straps - £10
    SKS Mudguards £8
    MKS LL toe clips, cheap leather straps and 'free' crappy Foffa pedals £5
    Charge Slice bars £5
    Odyssey Twisted Chameleon Purple Pedals £10
    Dia Compe Guideonnet Brake Levers £12
    Cane Creek 200TT £5
    Tange 1" Threaded chrome fork for 27" wheel £20

    Can of course take more photos as needed.

    Good idea, only really need the left side crank as it's cracked, will pop by there later this week.

    Anyone have a cottered crankset? Can't spend a huge amount but need to get my commuter back on the road, tired of walking everywhere!

    Very very nice, riding a blue 70's Elswick frame at the minute, if I had the space I'd love this, GLWS!
