Dibs white rolls. PM sent.

First seatpost on the left is 26.8 (but it's a suspension seatpost sadly). The third one from the left is 26.4. £5 for either.

These are all standard 26mm quill stems. Different lengths £5 each.

Top row, third from left is a Shimano dual pivot front brake with allen key fitting. Top row, far left is a pair of weinmann 50mm drop calipers. £12 for shimano. £7 for weinmanns.

I've also got four or five sets of used tyres in varying widths between 23mm and 28mm and varying condition. Redwall, whitewall, amberwall. No photos yet - sorry. Also about five or six drop handlebars. Again, no photos yet - sorry.

I'm in SW2 near Brockwell Park if you want to have a look at any of this stuff. Send me a PM if so. Cheers.

@onelove, my email address is written further up the page.

Peugeot sold. Dawes now sold. Both frames still available.

Ah well. I'll take the Gazelle bottle cages instead then. That'll make me - and my Gazelle - feel better about missing out on the white Rolls. PM sent.

I don't blame you. Sounded like a crap deal really, didn't it?

I've got a pretty worn out headset with some brinelling. Still works and it's nice and clean. Yours for £2 + postage or pick up from SW2. PM me if you're interested.

Second DIBs on..

1. White Rolls - scuff on corner, alright condition
   
   

...if the other sale falls through.

@lomax2020, Dawes still available as I've not heard back from alphabetikal. I can't PM you so we'll have to do business in public. Oo er. Alternatively send an email to jaibuzz AT hotmail DOT com and I'll try to respond quickly.

@fixC - Be tempted. Be very tempted. In fact, be so tempted that you send me a PM. You knows you wants a Bianchi. Everyone wants a Bianchi.

I'm around this weekend if anyone wants to come and view

Peugeot sold. Dawes still available. Alphabetikal, you have PM.

62cm Benotto now up for sale here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread81820.html

I'd like to have repainted it but I need to clear space so I'm selling as is. PM me if you're interested.

I've got a 60cm Bianchi for sale here; http://www.lfgss.com/thread81820.html

May be able to throw in a headset and BB. Put a dibs on the thread and PM me if you're interested.

Two frames and two bikes that I'm getting rid of to clear space in my flat. Dibs followed by PM for any of the following. I'm in SW2 near Brockwell Park and around in the afternoons or weekends. I'd really rather not post but could possibly be persuaded to do so at cost. Preference will be given to buyers who can pick up.

*Benotto - not sure if its a Modelo 800 or 1500 (62cm) - £120*

More photos here

Bought this to build up but discovered that it was too small. It's primed ready for painting. There are some marks from storage but no dents. Pretty rare to find a old Italian frame in this size. I wish I had time and space to give it a decent paintjob and new decals. I hope someone else does.

Top tube: 60cm centre-to-centre
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 700c with 50mm brake drop
Seatpost size: 26.4mm
Tubing:

*Bianchi Campione del Mondo (60cm) - SOLD*

More photos here

Lightweight steel frame with very tatty paint. Cable guides mounted on top of the BB shell and on top of the chainstay. Lovely beater material (see below) or another good candidate for a respray and renovation.

Top tube: 58cm centre-to-centre

*Build-a-beater singlespeed component set - £100*

Earmarked for the Bianchi but could obviously be used on any similar frame. I'm not willing to this split this set yet as items will be put up for sale as part of a seperate clearout thread if the set doesn't sell. PM me if you're interested in the set but want more details about any of the components.

What you'll get: non-matching 700c road wheels with spacer set, Armadillo tyres, choice of saddles, seatpost (27mm for the Bianchi or 26.4 for the Benotto), choice of Weinmann levers + hoods, choice of pedals, bars (drops or horns), Weinmann sidepull brakes + pads, 80mm or 100mm SR quill stem, mismatched Italian BB, unbranded headset, used but good condition 3/32 chain.

What you'd need: cranks and chainring, innertubes, cables, bartape.

Peugeot Etoile (56 cm) - SOLD

Smart mid-range late-80s Peugot with original components (hence the chainring guard and those GREAT reflectors). A few small marks in the paintjob, especially along the right chainstay but otherwise very good condition. All parts have been stripped, thoroughly cleaned and regreased. Cables, chain and bartape are all new and test ridden only. The original wheelset has been replaced with something lighter and stronger. The bike rides beautifully and shifts perfectly.

Dawes Galaxy (59cm) - SOLD

More photos here

Renovated late-70s or early-80s touring bike with a range of components. The paint has seen better days and the 'Galaxy' logo has been lost completely. All parts have been removed, cleaned, regreased and then ridden for perhaps 200 miles. Cables, bartape and chain are nearly new. The dual-position brake levers and stem-mounted gear shifters make it a good around-town machine. Gears and brakes working perfectly.

I've got four of these...

In varying conditions. PM me if interested.

I have plenty of pairs of weinmann sidepull calipers that I need to get rid of (see the pair on the left). If you're after longer reach, the calipers on the bottom right have a 79mm drop. I'm in SW2 for the next couple of hours or E1 later on this evening.

Potential dibs on BB pending more information. PM'd.

How did Campagnolo measure the lengths of their super-record and nuovo-record seatposts? The 1983 catalogue tells me that they come in 130mm or 180mm lengths. But where is that measurement taken from?

Usually the measurement would be rails to limit mark, right? But I have two nuovo record seatposts - both are different lengths but no part of either post seems to be 130mm or 180mm. Perhaps they've both been cut down?

Mobidog, I'll try and let you know when I put the Benotto up for sale, though that could take a while. It's been primed ready for painting so it's all grey at the moment. Not sure what the tubing is but it's not light, so I don't think it's anything too special.

I'm after a 64cm frame (or bigger), preferably Italian, preferably early 80s. Unsurprisingly this is proving very difficult to find.

Just bought a Benotto off ebay because it was stamped '64' on the BB. Turns out that Benotto measured their frames centre-to-top, so it's actually a 62. Bit pissed off. Will probably get it resprayed and stick it up for sale on here soon.

Dibs **

Super Record Hoods White, look unused but with light storage wear - £32**

Or if they've already gone, any of the other sets of super record hoods.

PM coming...

Blu-Tack did form a good enough seal so this post is now bathing in a 1:3 solution of caustic soda.

In fact, it's been filled with caustic for more than 72 hours now and at the last attempt I still couldn't get any movement in the post (I'm getting a good grip with a Mole wrench). I'm putting in a fresh tube full of caustic soda every day now and each time I flush out the old stuff it's full of gunk. Seems I'll just have to wait until I've completely melted the post. I wonder how long it will take? Cold weather outside definitely isn't helping to speed up the chemical reaction.

Oh, and I've managed to spill so much caustic that the paintwork on the seat-tube is now knackered. So it turns out that I might as well have used the blowtorch in the first place.

Thanks for advice. I'll try Blu-Tack this weekend and see how that goes. The main problem is that where the seat-tube meets the BB, the join hasn't been made very clean, making it difficult to get a watertight seal.

And yes, I'd like to be able to block the top of the seatpost but, as mentioned, I've put too many slits and holes in it - including one down between the lugs where the clamp bolt sits - to get any sort of seal at that end. Perhaps I'll try again armed with Blu-Tack though.

Burns unit, here I come...

I need to remove an alloy seatpost from a steel frame and after exhausting all the usual methods (including the hacksaw technique, which failed because I can't buy a hacksaw blade long enough to cut far enough down the post) I've resorted to caustic soda.

However, because I've wrecked the 10cm section of the post that's still sticking out of the frame, I can't block that end, so I need to plug the seat-tube at the BB end. Unfortunately, I can't use a cork or similar because one side of the bottom rim of the seat-tube has been bent inwards slightly in order to cram the tube into the BB shell, meaning that the bottom of the seat-tube is no longer round. I've tried using plasticine to create a seal, but - perhaps unsurprisingly - a children's plaything didn't stand up to caustic soda.

So I need a way of plugging the bottom of my misshapen seat-tube.

Ideas? Is there a type of expanding foam that will create a watertight (and burning chemical-tight) seal when sprayed into a tube? Has anyone had similar problems?

I'd resort to the blowtorch technique, but playing with dangerous chemicals is even more fun and this way I can minimise the damage done to the paintwork.

Still no sign of any postage and no contact with the seller. Has anyone else manged to get in touch with Pistoffski in the last couple of days?

PM sent regarding helmet over a week ago. Sale agreed. Payment for helmet, including postage, (amounting to £16) sent a week ago. Still waiting for delivery.
