up for grabs is an original Archies Grobag circa 2008 i think, bought as a gift that never got used and so is perfect/as new condition, zero marks, grime, wear etc. comes with the cross body 4 point straps, the additional straps for large items and all the old features.
made to fit my wife who's like a size 6 so its XS to S.
Asking £150 (plus £10 postage unless you're near Sheffield and can collect)

if anyone is around 5' 3" or so check out this Neil Orrell triple triangle. its a beaut with a few paint chips but is super sound. with more great parts with the tasty little NJS stamp on them.
she has some nitto drops she might swap on there instead of the skinny risers if you get in touch via ebay. -

Oh noes!
I so nearly bought one of these purple frames when Tommy Quick's shop in Forest Hill had just closed down. Could conceivably be the very same frame - Alf Raper, then working at Swifts, offered to build it up for me with a Daytona groupset for only £410 but I was penniless at the time and missed the opportunity. I'd dearly love to bring this bike back to Forest Hill but I fear I'd have difficulty justifying the spending, as I've already got a steel road bike from this era.
Good luck, I hope it finds an appreciative home.
cheers ludd, i'm flexible on the price so here's hoping! :P

a'up,
i'm selling my ol' T. J. Quick.
This Reynolds 653 bike was hand built by Mr T. J. Quick (previously of Holdsworth; he made the Pro-team frames) in London in 1993. I’m the second owner and its been well loved over the years. Cinelli lugs, chrome and metalic purple paint make it an eye catcher. When parts have failed I’ve tried to use era-specific replacements.- Cinelli stem
- Ambrosio drop bars
- Campagnolo Chorus 8 speed ergo shifters (hoods in fair cond.)
- Campagnolo Record front mech
- Campagnolo Chorus rear mech
- Campagnolo Omega rims (rear is not holding true)
- Campagnolo Record hubs
- Campagnolo Chorus caliper brakes and blocks
- Campagnolo cables and outers
- Campagnolo Chorus Aero seat post
- Brooks B17 saddle
- Brooks leather bar tape (needs re-wrapping i reckon)
Measures 54cm centre to centre, tho i will double check this to be sure.
I'm 5'6" or so and its a good fit.There's been some debate in the past whether the groupset IS Chorus or some other obscure set from that era. eitherway its all in good condition and shifts snappy.
Due to the rear rim failing I’m including a whole extra amazing quality Campagnolo Record (?) & Omega Strada late ‘80’s wheelset. These are re-greased, true, great wheels ready to roll (just switch out the cassette). The Omega Strada rims are getting damned hard to find and damned pricey if you find 'em so this is a bargin.
A real beauty; a one-of-a-kind bike for the classic enthusiast or tweed-loving hipster. Its starting to show its age in the paint and needs more love than I have time for so please give it a good home.
currently in sheffield so collection ideal, but can box for courier if needed.
asking £450
ta,
matt
p.s - if i find the sprung drop-out adjusters i'll pop them on or post after.
p.p.s - not splitting.
