Reader’s after a few adjustments.

Yikes that is cool!

£160 for a Pacer frameset seems like an alright deal.

I’ve got these ratty but solid 531 forks that came off the second nicest off-the-peg Raleigh you could get in the late 80s. Just over 20cm of steerer. Definitely room for a 28mm tyre, maybe 30mm. £20 posted if you’re interested.

I bought this on here not that long ago. It’s beautiful, made in Crewkerne Somerset in 1980 by one of the greatest British framebuilders, but I only have room for one fixie and I’m very upset to say that I’m keeping the practical one.

It’s 56cm square centre to centre and ding and dent free as far as I can tell. 531 Pro according to the Reynolds sticker, though it looks like this was put on after a respray so we must trust the integrity of the painter. The paint is ok but there is a fair bit of patina. Maybe another respray will be in order a few years down the line.

I’d like to sell it with the Dura Ace 7710 crankset (bit tatty, 105 BB I think, matching 50t chainring in vgc), wheelset/tyres (hard ano Open Pro CD on old style single fixed Primato hubs, excellent condition with only very light evidence of braking in the front from when I took it into the Mendips) and Tange headset. I can sell it as pictured here in skidder mode with or without a brake or just as a rolling chassis and drivetrain.

For this I’d like £440, collected in Bristol BS5. I don’t want to either split or post for now, but I will if I have to further down the line.

Very pleased with this one in either flavour!

This is a good shout and I don’t know why I didn’t think of it. Last time I was there they had a NOS full carbon Look 1” fork for £30!

Very much appreciate the offer but I don’t think it’ll work. The steerer measures a straight 28.6mm all the way down

Yeah, something to replace this one that doesn’t have a crown race seat.

dibs Rapha merino t-shirt please. PM coming

The inevitable spiralling costs of a project that should’ve been cheap has left me with the following shopping list if anyone can help.

Rigid v brake/canti fork, 1 1/8” threadless, at least 15cm of steerer, 400mm atc or thereabouts. The more mounts the better.

Rim brake rear wheel or wheelset. 8+ speed.l freehub.

Any ideas what’s going on here? 90s MTB fork steerer that’s 28.6mm the whole way down with no crown race seat.

Awesome bike!

Didn’t need this at all but it was cheap and I spied a Columbus sticker on one of the grainy listing photos. Stoked to spend 5 times as much as I paid for it on new parts.

Superstar make a nice one. Looking at it, they probably make them for Brother!

Columbus Minimal usually looks good on trad steel. Or a Wound Up if you can find one?

Sorry I failed to update you on the Kinesis fork. I reckon it’ll do 32mm. I don’t have a tyre to check but I found these pics with a 28mm gravelking that probably blows up bigger than that and there’s a fair bit of room. I’ll drop it out the frame this week if you’re interested. £40 posted btw.

Chinese carbon power saddle copy 155mm? Fiver collected in Bristol if interested.

I have a Kinesis DC07. It’s on the pictured bike at the moment but I actually have a bougie upgrade I haven’t bothered fitting yet. 28s and guards is doable with the right combination of tyre/rim/guards. Plenty of steerer left, I think. I can measure properly tomorrow and take some pics of the condition if you’re interested.

I prematurely closed the old thread for this so starting again. It turns out that this pump is not only too large for my frame, but also the frames of everyone who has expressed an interest in buying it! Silca say this will fit in a gap of 54cm-59cm, though 55cm to a bit more than 58cm is more like it IMO. The pump is in excellent used condition.

£75 posted, £70 collected in Bristol.

I'll second dibs the Trek please. Also in BS5.

I spied a drop bar, road fixed rider fast spinning back toward town on the railway path somewhere around Fishponds this afternoon. Looked a nice setup!
