Anybody interested in my Super Galaxy for £200? About 57cm seat tube I think. It needs a bit of tlc, I'd suggest a new front rim, full service and possibly a new paint job. It is however worth the money, campag wheelset, 105 transmission, 531 classic frame/forks, ultegra bar end shifters, sks mudguards etc. Cheers!

I have seen so many people almost claimed by that junction on my way to college each day. It's better than it was, but still not great

another reason is when considering them vs downtube friction shifters, but having them on the bars means you don't have to reach down so far and can keep control a little better when riding with a load.

4th dibs... lol

I am still selling my Red Holdsworth, 531 with mostly shimano 600 components. £150, which I reckon is fair!

I bought these forks off of here last summer for a project that never got off the ground. I just want what I paid for them back! I just got back from a tour of NZ and AUS and am low on funds.

The steerer is about 200mm. As shown in the pictures, it is drilled for a brake.
The only flaw I can think of is that the lacquer seems to have bubbles very slighty.

Pretty certain I know that, but I am in Malaysia... I get back tomorrow though, so we'll see

I'm going to be looking for a track frameset and a wheelset when I get back from my tour in NZ/AUS in about 10 days time, if anybody has anything I want to get a bike together asap! I want to ride a fixie again after riding my loaded surly LHT for 5 months. Looking for quality parts, hopefully weighing as little as possible without being absurdly expensive. I'm 5'10'', so a frame around 54cm/56cm?

I ought to have a stem and bars for sale, but as i'm out of the country i'd have to get my parents to let you into the garage for you to rummage around and see what you find... may or may not be worth the effort!

I am in Queenstown right now, got to say that despite the rain and sandflies the west coast was awesome.

I find that the drivers here are willing to give you as much space as possible, so long as it doesn't slow them down. If there is traffic on both sides of the road, then the drivers will not even brake as they pass you. If the other side of the road is empty, you'll have the whole lane to yourself.

Scared the shit out of me when an oil tanker gave me about 30cm at 100km/h, so I learned my lesson and I get out of the way if I hear something big.

bar end shifters are great, and i have never ever shifted mine with my knees.

I have a lezyne road drive. worked well for me so far!

yeah. I reckon I'll go without but if I find halfway through that I'd like one I'll get one. Can't wait!

I think I have some miche performance ones brand new lying around... £15 posted (saves £3 on wiggle's £18 which is what I paid).

Thanks! I'll do my best, I have heard mixed reviews on nz drivers but hopefully I'll be ok. I've never used a rear view on a bike, do they make a big difference? I could potentially buy one when I arrive, as there is a bike shop just down the road from where I am staying.
I'll be doing a blog too, some may find it interesting/useful as it develops: nicwardnz.tumblr.com

lol it does look a bit like it's dragging on the ground there. It's not that low! Now all i have to do is pack it into a box

So I am going to NZ for 5 months on tuesday. Here is a pic of my bike loaded up before I go!

I have some 105s you could have for about £30, and I think I may also have ultegras. If I do they would be £45 (both prices include postage and BB, although the brackets are quite used).

whoah, those are huge. Sorry!

Pedals on the super galaxy not included. Both are 531, and I can give you a run down of any components if you like. Test rides welcome too, would probably have to be in an evening.

i'll be selling my holdsworth for £150 now, and my super galaxy for £200. very good prices for what you get, but i am leaving the country for 5 months on the 19th nov.

On a side note, does anybody have some accurate scales for weighing my stuff before I leave on my tour?

I have a set of shimano 105 mechs, could do both for £20 posted

i'm verging on buying one brand new at £1100 but I'd rather not spend quite so much money! but i really would like a nice bike

couple more drops. come on folks, I only have a few more weeks before i leave!

Ok Still looking, just to recap some specifics:
I'd rather bar end shifters on drop handlebars
I have a saddle
I am 5'10''
I have a front rack, which i will want to install. It is one that clamps on though, so does not require a boss.
I will also need a granny gear, as I will be doing steep gradients fully loaded.
Bottle cages/attachment points are also a bonus.
I can also supply my own pedals so I am not so fussed about that.

Cheers!
