Hey Prince! Yes tis I :)
Good to see you're still on here going strong
Dropped out of the game after I closed the shop and stopped doing repairs from home but then after watching Fast & Loud I was re-inspired to dabble again just as a hobby and life is good this way. Have a strong ebay presence but perhaps should start trading on here again and save myself a fortune in fees!!
So this bike hasn't sparked the reaction I was hoping for, obviously I'm very out of touch and probably too attached to this bike. I'll give it a week or so but can see myself making my dad an offer and keeping it myself....

So this is my dads custom built Giant Bowery from back when I had my shop (about 7 years ago now I guess (!)).
The bike was resprayed by Colour Tech in Dartford in this stunning blue colour, there are no graphics on the frame "Giant" is actually painted, it's a beautiful job well done. The small insignia on the fork which looks a little amateurish is actually a doodle my dad did asking them to paint it on the fork thinking that they would create a symmetrical version of it but they used his actual image :) To me that is a really personal touch but I do have some emotional attachment to the bike and I'm not sure how others will interpret that. There is not a mark on the paint that I can see.
Every component was carefully selected for its aesthetic appeal and includes; DP18 style deep rims on large flange Quando hubs, Miche Seatpost, Salsa silver seatpost clamp, Campagnolo Athena Skeleton brakes, Genetic handlebars and stem, Condor (?) cross top levers, matching Genetic saddle and tape (both white with blue visible through the perferations), a shimano chain with strange links which looks pretty cool and finally a polished and engraved custom Campagnolo chainset.
He seems to have managed to slip a Royce bottom bracket in there too, I don't recall authorising that reckon he grabbed it when my back was turned, lolHe's selling it because it hardly gets used, he said his used it once so far this year and probably about five times a year since it was built.
I took it out for a spin earlier and I'd say the chainline is slightly off, so I'd probably just move the chainwheel to the outer position and the freewheel is a little noisy (fixed one side freewheel the other)
As I mentioned earlier I do have an emotional attachment, as does he, so I'm struggling to price this appropriately. To me £500 seems right but appreciate I could be way off with this as I'm unsure of the fixie market and not sure that despite it's condition and spec it may still not warrant such a price tag, but for me it does ;) My point being I'm open to negotiation.
Collection from Kent ME11 or I'll post for £35

I'm selling this very nice Duell SLX. I sold it about 8 years ago to a friend after a full strip and rebuild, he hardly used it and it's now found its way back to me. I absolutely love this bike, the fish scale airbrushing and red fade paint job is one of my favourite paint jobs to pass through my hands but it's just sitting redundant in the shed so I may as well sell it on.
The Shimano 600 8 Speed STI groupset is in really nice condition for it's age, the only exceptions to the groupset are the 105sc hubs which are on Mavic CXP 12 rims. It also has a Dura Ace seatpin, Flite saddle, Modolo bars and Zenith stem (I think thats the make, it is designed to allow removal of the bars without un-taping etc).
Forks are not original.
Size is 57cm x 55cm and I think the stem is 100mm.
I'd like £370 for it plus £30 shipping or you're welcome to collect from Kent ME11

I'll have this, if you'll take £40 posted -
Marin Bear Valley, 1995ish
TT CTC 21.5"
ST CTT 19"
CW ritchey logic headset and Shimano sealed BB (I think this could do with being replaced as feels pretty grumbly - odd as I installed it only 2 years ago. I don't have a tool with enough purchase to get it out but I wouldn't consider it 'stuck')
Paintwork v good. Little bit of surface rust on chainstay; not noticeable in use.
£30 -
I have found 2 curtain poles on Gumtree but the seller is not willing to post them. I'm hoping that there is someone on here close to Baltic St, Montrose DD10 8EX that is willing to collect and wrap them for me in preparation for a courier to collect! Obviously I'll give you some money for your time and effort....
Fingers crossed!!!

Any interest in this Pinarello Prince with full Campagnolo Record carbon/ Titanium groupset before I split it?
Only thing letting the whole build down is the Pinarello writing has all but gone but the rest of the paint is in reasonably good condition.
Size is 55cm x 53cm (ct x cc)
Groupset is fantastic, gears are crisp and brakes work well. Everything is in very nice condition although obviously will have a few signs of age now. The only thing I noticed when taking the pics are a few scratches to the rear hub.
Has had a service fairly recently which included new chain, cassette, cables, bar tape and tyres.
Asking £600. Collection from Kent ME11 or posted for £35 (insured)
