Got one. Yours for a tenner posted.

NOW SOLD. This is the final part of my huge clearout.
I bought this as a very tatty, rim-braked frame and got a disc tab brazed on and a powder coat by Chickens Frame Emporium in Brighton.

This must be a very early IF. It rides like my old Fat Chance and has much more spring than other IFs i've owned. It has a 29.4mm seat tube and a pump peg so it's got a vintage vibe. Structurally in good shape and zero rust. The powder coat is a bit chipped and flaked and got a few stains from i'm not sure what but overall it looks good.

It's got a 15.5" seat tube c-c and 21.5" actual top tube, 90mm head tube 1 1/8" and 68mm BB.

It is a superfast singletrack bike and makes a nice gravel conversion.

Owes me quite a lot but after £300 posted. Includes 29.4mm Thomson post and original seat clamp. SOLD.

Thanks

Rich

I think it is just poor paint applied too thickly, so when the spokes move it just flakes off. Thanks for the bump.

Bump for £100 posted.

Bit of a reduction to £360 posted or £345 collected.

Some more pics

Another lurker from the loft. This was custom made for my friend Jon of Chickens Frame Emporium "fame". It sits quite low but is fairly long. Seat tube is 18.5" centre of bb to top and 17" c-c, top tube is 23" (58cm) c-c. The head tube is 98mm and 1 1/8". BSA BB, 27.2mm seatpost. The paintwork is tatty but not awful and the head badge is missing but all is structurally good and no rust.
The frame has got Jon's "quality" catchphrase on the top tube and TMS on the seatstay brace - a little framebuilding joke meaning twin monostay. Hilarious.
The frame will take 650b wheels. See pic of wheel without tyre.
Got the original IF paperwork too somewhere.
I've ridden this bike. I'm 5'8" and with a 50mm stem it was a ripper. Jon is 6' and rode it with 100mm stem. It would definitely make a nice gravel conversion for the taller sort.
After £325 posted in UK or £310 collected from BN7. SOLD.
Any questions just ask.

Thanks. I've never tried to profit from my bike habit - just recoup a bit here and there.

I work as a wheelbuilder and i have no will power. In an attempt to regain entry to my loft i'm having a clearout, starting with...
28h F/R Onyx Classic centrelock hubs laced 3x with sapim cx ray spokes/alloy doublesquare nipples to light (375g) alloy, welded tubeless rims. Rims are 24mm ext, 20mm int and 18mm deep. The hubs are shimano 11 speed and 100/142x12mm.
With silent coasting and instant engagement on the hubs and light rims this is a lively pair of wheels.
I haven't done a very good job of capturing the hub colour which is somewhere between baby and hot pink - brighter than my photos.
I got the hubs as a warranty return because the paint is chipped and flaking. They do look a bit scruffy but mechanically/structurally they're good and run smoothly. They have less than 1000kms on them. The rear rim has a small ding which i have tried to show.
NOW £300 posted in UK or £285 collected from BN7.

I have a good condition 170mm Sram Force bb30 chainset, no rings. Can take a picture in the morning. After £80 posted.

Rich

@Flandria sorry only just seen your post. I can't remember whether they got used on another wheelset. I will check later and get back to you.

I have a Pace RC31 that's 440mm a-c. Not sure if that's tall enough for you.

Got an excellent condition de-stickered Principia aero frame 54cm top tube. Made in Denmark, 27.2mm seatpost, bsa bb, 1 1/8" head tube. Builds into a nice aggressive ride. No mudguard mounts but plenty of room for 28mm tyres so should be room for mudguards if you wanted them.
After £85 for the frame. I have a nearly new Principia headset and Isaac carbon/alloy fork that you can have for and extra £40.
I have also got lots of really nice bits to build into a complete bike if you're interested.

Rich

An half-hearted bump for a reduction in price to £575 for the frame, fork and headset. If anyone wants the frameset, wheels (inc nearly new Vittoria Corsas), nearly new White Industries square taper chainset (170mm, 46t ring), Thomson elite seatpost, Campag super record brakes, Nitto quill stem adapter and a nice choice of stem (Thomson X2, Deda superzero, Easton ea70...) delivered to London for £825 then let me know. All the components are in very good/excellent condition, excluding the wheels - see comment below.

TWO THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW: the original stops for internal brake cable have been removed at some point so the cable runs through the frame in a complete length of outer and second is that there are two cracks on the rear driveside hub shell. At some point the rear wheel will need a new hub. The wheels are round and true and braking surfaces are good.

I have worked out that this frame will take 650b wheels as well, which opens up a lot of options for modern tubeless rims and tyres. I work as a wheelbuilder and was contemplating building a set with silver Velocity a23 rims, silver Bitex RAF/RAR12 hubs and Sapim CX ray spokes with some nice 25mm tubeless tyres. Anyway, something to keep in mind.

At present I need the room and the funds.

Thanks

I've removed a few carbon PT arms. I use an old draper bearing puller and an headset spanner behind the crank arm with a thin but of pulp type cardboard between spanner and crank arm. Seems to spread the load sufficiently to avoid damage.

My winter ugly...

I'm only 6 miles from newhaven. It's £46 return as a foot passenger to dieppe.😁

I have, but more by managing to get covid (finally), and subsequent laziness. I could definitely use the space and the money. Can i tempt you? I will definitely listen to reasonable offers for all or parts of the bike.

Admittedly, the Spooky is pretty much a cross bike. The Golden Wonder is a first gen IF deluxe that was super tatty so i had a disc tab added and a powder coat.

Got a lovely Principia 54cm tt.
Made in Denmark, takes standard 1 1/8" fork, bsa bb, 27.2mm seatpost and will easily take a 28mm tyre. Destickered but excellent condition. The frame is anodised black - very stealth.
I'm near brighton, but happy to post or meet you some of the way.
After £75 for frame or £100 with Isaac carbon/alloy fork plus postage (if needed).

Rich

No worries at all.

Hello
I've got a brand new pair of silver 28h rs4 hubs, but i'd like to sell them due to a change of plan. Currently fitted with qr end caps and a shimano freehub body. I have a nearly new pro 4 xd driver that i could swap over for the shimano one. You'd need to get the 12mm end caps.
I'm after £197 posted (insured).
Can take a picture tomorrow if it's of interest.

I really like the look of the Basso Palta and seriously considered buying one. It is a gravel bike but right at the road end of the spectrum. Not sure about mudguard fixings though.
I needed a stopgap between breaking my old Stoemper and the delivery of a new custom steel frame. I didn't want to spend too much and so bought the cheaper alu/carbon Basso Tera - although it's a very different bike to the Palta it's fun and rides well after a few mods.

I have a fairly new Hope one - found it a bit small for general use. £25 posted.
