All yours - DM me to arrange pickup.

** EDIT - all moved to eBay **

... continued ...

-6. unused Stronglight 24 tooth chainring; BCD 74; this is also very, very ancient but is still in the original pack ... apparently it was on sale ...

-7. pump holder frame clip; needs small zip ties to attach to frame; about 9cm long; holds a pump round 23-26mm in diameter

-8. used Shimano 7-speed HG-41 cassette; 11-28; have given it a bit of a clean and it appears in reasonable nick; includes spacer and lockring

-9. used Shimano 9-speed HG cassette; 11-28; also had a bit of a clean and seems not too bad; also includes lockring

** EDIT - all moved to eBay **

Having a bit of a clear out, have the following bits and bobs, all free if you can collect from Barnes or reasonably nearby:

1. Fairly crap plastic platform pedals, though they do have reflectors! Cannot imagine where they came from - a kids bike maybe?

2. GONE pair of black, foam grips, clamp on; approx 132mm in length; outer diameter approx. 32mm; again provenance unknown - GONE

3. GONE pair of purple X-Lite bar ends; approx 110mm centre to bend; then 55mm bend to end; you will not be surprised to learn they came off my 90s Dave Yates MTB. They are purple! - GONE

4. BTR top tube bag; about 20cm x 10cm x 7cm; good condition, only used a couple of times; has LOTS of straps

5. expandable Blackburn saddle bag; older than Noah; still in decent nick; approx 20cm x 13cm at widest

Just received a bar bag from Dan (pretty sure the black with red one in the pic above) - it’s absolutely superb; exactly what I asked for.

That looks stunning. Would like something like that in (mainly) black with some red - would that be possible?

Interested in more info on the Arkose. I’d like to size up my current Boardman and wondering how much of my group set etc. would be reusable? E.g. I have QR Aksium disc wheels, and cable brakes and shifters.

Reduced to £45 OBRO

Available again - turns out they are the wrong size for the provisional buyer.

I was about to say the same - have just had a set of wheels from them and very pleased with them I am. /yoda

These are provisionally sold.

Now for sale elsewhere.

Hmm, not for me, especially like that the contrasting numbers just grate.

A good example is the Glashutte Original Sport Evo Pano Date, where the original version had a contrasting big date window, but later versions had a matching black date, the later one is far nicer (and then one I had!)

I think quite a few of these pilot-style chronos have the same roots in the WW2 issued watches with a nod to the post-war French Aeronavale Type 20 specification, including of course the Breguet Type XX; the Zenith Tipo CP2; the issued Lemanias and so on.

LoL … other date implementations are available … or indeed no date at all …

It’s a Class Sport. Diameter is about 40mm excl. crown.

I agree it does seem a bit of a weird variation for an El Primero. Its this one. An earlier version of which I noticed in a read back through the thread got a kicking a few pages ago ... LoL. I love it, probably my favourite watch and definitely would be the last to go.

Best not get started on date windows ... I don't mind a date but I absolutely detest contrasting date wheels, especially in an otherwise single colour dial. If its a panda dial or similar I can sort of understand it, but a black dial with a white date wheel just grates.

Zenith and JLC also make some lovely slim watches. I have a Zenith El Primero chrono that's only 10mm thick - pretty svelte for a chrono (though it is hand wind).

Looks like a slightly photoshopped Lamborghini Urraco - the wheels don’t look right (too big)

(And I see I was too late …)

Full Campag Chorus, including seatpost, pedals, cables, from the mid 90s I think ... on a Paganini TSX (long since sold sadly):

Thanks, I sure will. However, I have had it so long I’d find it quite hard to let it go. I also suspect that whatever I could sell it for would in no way match what I think it “ought” to be worth!

Signed up here just because of this thread, in order to share this my 1990s Dave Yates Diablo. Originally sold as a Pearson, I bought it secondhand in 1995 or thereabouts. Since then the frame has been back to Dave twice for some mods and repainting; last time I had him convert the Pace RC30 forks to Aheadset fitting. Little remains of the original I bought beyond the frame and forks, think the XT cranks are as I bought it, but now runs V-brakes with XTR RapidFire+, XT rear mech; LX front; pretty sure this is the third set of wheels I have had - on the last set the flange came off the front Hope hub on the steep downhill in Richmond Park.
Sadly sees little use these days but has done a fair few long distance rides like C2C and Way of the Roses.
