Potential bargain if you are nearby. On mobile, so can't work out if those are braze-ons on the seatstay. If so, then you've got the beginnings of a rad 26er insta-gumwall-monstour-circlejerk machine.

MX Leader frameset in pretty decent nick. 56 square. Postage is pretty steep, for some reason, so that's the catch unless you live in the west of Wales, or maybe Dublin (!)

More graphs plz ;)

Thanks - not easily, but I can temporarily cannibalise one off the MTB and give it a go I guess!

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a Colossi-made frame. Decent enough - I have a virtually identical lugged Zona frame which rides nicely and is pretty stiff, as steel goes. Not a big fan of the fork though.

Well played.

I've always wondered about this. Do they perhaps get a notification from Amazon and fail to realise that they don't have to respond to it?

Yeah, I couldn't unsee that either...

Does anyone have any experience of Miche Evo Max cranks/bottom brackets?

Essentially I'm wondering whether one of these**(that I already have, sans BB) will strictly need an Evo Max BB, or will be compatible with, say, a Hollowtech II BB. I'm seeing conflicting reports online...

** I have no idea what a 'Game of Arms' is either, but I wish they would hurry up and air the next series.

This will surely jump up a lot in price before it ends, but there's an awful lot of bike here. Badly listed.

Poor guy. Well, I don't want you to get cancelled 👍

Yeah, that was my thinking too. More one to keep an eye on and make a cheeky offer

Shame it's a bit scruffy, but not beyond the realms of rescue. The radness factor is very high

Also this, if you're quick:

That's a really good idea. I'll give it a go. Also, thanks for the LBS suggestions; that'll be Plan B. Not entirely sure on 'good terms', as I think I usually offend them with my 'functional' offerings!

Cheers, SJS was the first place I looked but I missed the last one -that could be useful!

Seems like a good place to ask: can I buy something like an extender/dropper bracket to lower the mudguard bridge, as I have a hefty gap between fork crown and wheel? Or would this require some fettling?

Apologies if this is a stupid question. I'm not having much luck with searches.

Lovely bike, GLWS

I've very reluctantly decided it might be time to sell my Olmo, as I'm a bit skint and have far too many bikes. What do we think it's worth?

The frame is not SL, but Aelle. Despite that there's a decent smattering of chrome and panto on the fork crown and lugs. There's some superficial pitting on the DT and other wear as seen in the photo.

Nuovo Record mechs, calipers and chainset.
Not in photo, but will be with a relatively pristine Regina Oro 13-18 block.
Simplex retrofriction shifters.
Levers are less flashy Modolo Corsa with original hoods, albeit probably on the way out.
Ofmega (not Campy) headset.
Fluted seatpost is not Record - probably Suntour or similar.
3t bars and stem
Yellow Rolls saddle, which I believe are rarer, but has rip / wear as seen in photo. NDS intact.
Wheels are Record to Mavic Open 4 CD. Rims have seen a bit of wear but still serviceable.

Everything is mechanically in good order (cables might need replacing but ho-hum). Downsides are pretty much just on the cosmetic side.

Edit: period Mavic pedals and Christophe clips would be re-united with the bike, not the blasphemous SPDs on there currently (!)

Che bel mezzo! GLWS

Ooh, thanks for the tip. Will have a look. Cheers :)

It's great. I would say it's less good in wet conditions though, as it's pretty light.

If you can manage to get the spray version easily over here then I'd recommend that (ideally alongside the conventional bottle) as otherwise it can be a bit fiddly/drippy to apply .

That's rad. GLWS

P.S. You can't bump without lowering the price - see https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/143848/#6571218 ;)

I'm sure you're joking, but that will never*, ever happen

*NEVERRRRRRRR x3

Dibs pending price. Is that £5 for the delivery or for the chainring? Cheers

Edit: reasonable to presume the former - what's the item price?
