Guy locking a black & white fixed with a front spok on highbury park road this afternoon

2nd dibs on Pedals, straps and clips of a Fuji Track

unfortunately I'm completely out of town till sunday. I can try to get to you before 4 on sunday though, but if someone wants them in the meantime then by all means let them take them, I'll keep an eye on the thread incase they go but if not I'll let you know on sunday morning if Im coming..that ok?

I'd like to take the drops but cant collect until sunday evening, Im guessing someone will have them off you by then though. Are you in a rush to get rid of this stuff?

price drop on pedals, tyre added. i think the brake/lever is still available as well..

Ive got a few bits for sale as i want to clear a bit of room in my cupboard, this stuff is in the way.

Reynold 531 forks
Nice circular blades, drilled, i think the dropouts are for an older style narrower axle as i had a front wheel which wouldn't fit can anyone correct me on this?

Steerer tube: 227mm
crown to dropout: 367mm
Threading: 29mm

BMX flat pedals with straps
basic pedals with straps bought from this very forum, these were on my winter bike last year and although the bearings don't feel perfect to hand, they felt fine on the bike

Brake and lever combo
Cheap lever and brake ready to go, allen key fit, worked great on my old beater

Schwalbe blizzard 700x23c tyre

Only used this for about 50 miles, never skidded. I guess theres someone out there who's nearly skidded through their rear and wants a replacement. A great tyre with kevlar protection. its still got the moulding join on the centre

Collect from around brick lane during the day, Highbury evenings.

Guy in angel earlier with a tri-spok, bullhorns and a bowler hat.. you either turned off or got caught up in traffic so i didn't get the chance to request a skid

I posted a wanted ad on here about a month ago when i was after a frame for myself and it worked out pretty good, now my house mate wants a beater to build up so here goes..

I'm looking for a 54-56 frame suitable to to set up fixed. It has to be structurally sound with no dings / dents or cracks, brand, colour and appearance doesn't matter.

British threaded bb and originally intended for 700c would be ideal.

It would be nice if it had a headset and or a seatpost already but not essential.

around the £50-60 region, what you got people?

anyone around N17/ Finsbury park that has a headset press. I lent my home made one out and haven't got it back.

Ive got a sheldon style home made one and im just down the road from Finsbury park if it helps..

This arrived at my office this morning courtesy of peter v so i popped it together this afternoon, should make a nice beater!

Id like a 26.8mm seat post fairly urgently, if anyone has one in North / east London i can collect it tonight or tomorrow. Preferably silver but not that fussed.

Yeah you guessed it on a budget so as low cost as possible would be great!

Cheers

Hopeful Second dibs

Cheers.. A small crack getting worse is what led to the death of my last frame though so id rather avoid anything with a crack if i can, is £50 too hopeful?

my old beater frame has finally died and I am after something low cost as a replacement so i thought i'd see if anyone here had anything.

It must have horizontal dropouts to run fixed and british BB threads, id like it if it had a useable seatpost / headset intact but its not essential, It would also be great if it was intended for 700c so i don't have to use a long drop brake.. don't mind brand, colour or paint work condition but it must be structurally sound.

hopefully sub £50 is enough budget..

Thanks

I'd come along, but cant do this weekend

Maybe this would be better in the spotted thread but I've noticed a few fixed/ss bikes parked up while their owners skate down Clissold park recently, anyone here?

yeah the one i have is that design, its way shinier than the one pictured apart from two 1-2 mm scratches near the top bolt.. its on a bike right now but i will take a picture tonight and measure it for you.. Ive been wanting to put a nitto jag and new tape on this particular bike for a while, so this may give me the kick up the arse i need to change it

I have a stem I could be tempted to part with but there is no stem in the picture so i dunno if its the one you're after, i could take a pic for you later if you still need one. Not sure how long it is off the top of my head either..

this morning spotted a coupe of guys one a gold holdsworth and another on a white carlton both heading for the city on drearham road.

My mate just told me he was knocked off on archway today and his helmet saved him, could be the same incident. He said hes OK and out of hospital now

Saw a fat bird walking down the street today. She had a T-shirt on saying I Love The HIP HOP. I think the letters C and S must have fallen off!

Just had a bit of a garage find. Its a kalkhoff frame(anyone know of them?), with campag hubs, simplex rear gears and sillstar chainset. I'm assuming the wheels are not original, as they seem higher spec than the rest of the bike. I think I'll just clean it up and get it rolling for my brother as its more his size than me and hes been hounding me for a run about bike. Only problem with is the front derailuer is missing.

I dont know a lot about maintenance of gears but I guess it shouldnt be too hard to pick up a front deraileur to work.

Dibs IRD cranks please!
