£110 picked up would be my offer to keep in mind.

Bought off Mihajaru last year but seems like its done the rounds on here. Just changed from the ventos to Ambrosio prismas with specialized turbo s tyres.

When I set up a front mech I always use this method;
Rear mech cable connected and tight-ish (this is just so you can shift onto the largest rear sprocket), front cable not connected at all so no tension on the front mech.
Shift rear gears onto the largest sprocket and adjust front mech inner limit screw so chain clears by a fraction.
Connect front cable to mech making sure the gear shifter is set fully over for the inner ring.
Tension front cable so you can pull it about 1-2cm at the midpoint of the downtube. Too much tension and you won't be able to shift the front mech all the way across.
Shift rear mech to a middle cog, then front mech onto outer. Now shift rear mech onto smallest.
Now your chain is as far out as it needs to be so adjust the front mech outer limit screw to bring the cage close to the chain without rubbing. Front mech cable should be pretty tight now too.
I then go on to finish off setting the rear mech up.I have had issues before when the limit screws seem to have no effect, it was usually when the cable tension wasn't set right so the shifter couldn't move the chain all the way across.

Aksium race in silver for shimano 9/10/11 speed. Mileage unknown but great condition, the braking surfaces are totally flat, they run true and are silky smooth. Come with almost new Giant P-R2 flat guard 700 x 23 tyres, tubes and skewers. I am in Birmingham so £100 including delivery and paypal fees. £10 less if you don't want tyres & tubes.

Thread is over 2 years old, I'd guess he's probably sorted by now.

Great buy that. I would love something similar in a 53 or 54.

GXP bottom bracket? Taking the cranks off the bike is a 2 minute job with this system.
-
Not mine but saw it on here, maybe a touch small.
