Repost?

Thanks to those who have PM'd me. Still searching...

^^
Absolutely not.

After winning a nice Serotta Atlanta on eBay and having the sale fall through, I am back in the market for a nice 90s/00s road bike frame.

It needs to be between 58-60cm square or thereabouts, either BB threading, without fork or threadless is preferable but will definitely consider threaded F&F too.

I'm after high grade steel or titanium. Budget around the £500 mark, less is obviously better but I'm looking for something special.

This is the first piece of a complete new bike I'm building so if you have modern groupsets/parts to go with frames please let me know.

Thanks!

Now sorted. Thanks to everyone who PM'd me and I'm sorry if there was anybody I didn't get back to.

PM'd

Cheers eyebrows. I've just asked him to have a look at FedEx too. That's more like what I was expecting to pay.

Thanks Midi. I think it's USPS that this guy is trying to use, he keeps coming back to me with quotes of between $900-1100 AKA tripping out. I'll email him about the company in 134 and see what happens. Doesn't seem like it should be so hard for him to work out but you can't overestimate some people's potential. Thanks again.

Yes size and price please.

Paints lasted better than I expected, has it been 2 years?!

Two years coming up this autumn, I think. I've been pleasantly surprised too, considering it took 20 mins and I did no prep. Halfords, recommended to all.

Did you used to live/do your shopping in Wimbledon? I used to see this locked up while going to and from school when I was younger and became fascinated with it

Anyways lovely bike

Ha! I haven't lived there but have shopped occasionally and have lots of friends round there so that's why. That is a pretty cool story bro, for me anyway. Thanks.

Yes, it do.

I know that saddle is stock but it's the only thing I'd change. Dope as fuck.

I've won a complete bike on eBay which is in Colorado. I emailed the guy prior to bidding and he said he hadn't shipped a bike before but was happy to arrange it if I won. However, now he's said he isn't able to post the bike because it won't fit into a box which is smaller than 46" and USPS won't take anything over 42". Apparently he got a bike shop to pack it up for him but I'm struggling to work out how it's oversize if he's taken it apart properly. Anyway, I've suggested a few blindingly obvious ideas like putting the frame in a separate box or asking the bike shop how they ship their orders abroad which he said he'll do. I wanted to know if anyone has any up-to-date info on shipping bikes across from America? Does anybody have a company they recommend or have recent experience with packing and shipping across the pond?

tl;dr: Best way to post bike from Colorado -> London?

... because inverse shims don't exist.

Troll.

Well Fuck.
Still, its only a saving of £50 over the one that is currently inbound from the USA, but this would've been a lot less hassle.

This is the worst thing about the time between ordering something and it arriving.

Dibs on the whole double strap combo. I'll confirm with you tomorrow.

That looks very smart.

Who's out there with a teddy tied to their fork? North Hyde Park yesterday at 7ish.

Thanks jsabine! Very helpful.

Bikeman.com seems to have some in stock so I'll find out how much they charge for the postage.

This frame's been around on here forever, so nice.

The dust cap on one of my pedals fell off months ago. Didn't seem to make a difference so I didn't do anything about it. Now the pedal has developed side-to-side play and the chap in the bike shop says it's unfixable.

So does anybody know if there are replacement parts available, or does anybody have a pair (or ideally one) for sale?

Thanks!

¡Yo!

I have for sale a 1" threaded carbon fork which came on my '98 GT frame. It's the fork which came stock on all the older GT frames. I've held on to it for all this time because I thought at some point I may want to reunite the frame and fork to sell. This will never happen so I don't need the fork.

The steerer is steel, nice and long at 205mm. It doesn't have a crown race on it or anything else annoying.

The frame was pretty much spotless when I got it so I assume this fork hasn't been ridden very much. It does have one or two little chips to the finish but nothing serious.

Weight is 577g.

Looking for £45. Collection from Barnes Bridge. Thanks W**l.

Are these for sells?
