Managed to find a decent Bontrager Race XXX Lite carbon front wheel via the forum recently, now on the lookout for a matching rear. These date from around 2010 or so.
The wheel I'm after is 24h, with 12 paired spoke holes on 25mm deep carbon rim, hub has 12 straight spokes on NDS and 12 j-bend spokes through six pairs of holes (so spoke holes are NOT 12 evenly spaced) on drive side. Hub is carbon-wrapped and should be Shimano-compatible (10s). Not bothered if it's tubular or clincher or whether there's rim wear.
If there's one of these in the back of your cupboard gathering dust, let me know!
Ta,
j.

If anyone has set up an SKS Shockblade or similar front mudguard that fits using an expander plug that sits in the bottom of the steerer tube, I am on the lookout for one of the two smallest bung sizes - have all the larger ones and they are all too big for the steerer.
If you have the right part sitting in a spares box, please let me know!
Many thanks! -

If you have Shimano 5800 or 6800 11s derailleurs - front (BO) or rear (not worried about jockey wheel wear or dirt as long as mechanically and cosmetically reasonable) - in good condition available at a reasonable price, then I would be interested. Ideally I would like to find at least one medium/long cage RD, that'll cope with a 32t large cassette sprocket
Thanks for looking!

Up for sale at £1,700 is a custom-built DeRosa Nick Carbon superlight racing bike, size: L (58cm), in Arctic White, with (mostly) SRAM Red groupset and American Classic Argent tubeless-compatible wheels. The bike has been professionally built by an expert mechanic.
You can find full details about the frame and geometry here:
https://www.wiggle.co.uk/de-rosa-nick-road-frame-2019
Size of the frame is L - I would say suitable for around 5’10” to 6’3”. Some measured dimensions from the actual bike are as follows:
Standover height 79cm
Head tube height 86cm
Virtual top tube 58cm
Head tube 18cm
Saddle tip to bar centre 54cm (11cm stem)The total bike weight (without pedals) is just under 7kg. This is pretty good for a large bike, particularly at this price!
Most significant other point is that there is a big paint chip just at the back of the head tube (frame has never been used or built up before this). If I can get pics up, will make sure this is shown, but I will get this touched up, so it’ll be much less easily noticeable (potentially not until someone interested has seen bike "in the flesh" before I do it).

Bottle & cage - Zefal Pulse L2 superlight x2 (new) - 2x bottles provided if desired (NB not shown in pictures)
Pedals - can supply pair of Look Keo Carbon at additional cost (around £50), includes new cleatsHappy to swap contact points as necessary - bars and stem to get a comfortable position and a good fit, saddle too, from a selection, if not suitable. Even have a silver alloy seatpost if that colour is preferable. Can also swap to a set of 175mm cranks for longer legs if desired.. Many options are equivalent price-wise, but I'll always be upfront about any additional costs.
The bike comes WITHOUT pedals, but I have several sets of Look Keo Blade carbon pedals in very good condition, with new cleats, at very reasonable prices (£50 per pair on top of bike price).
Can swap in wider tyres from an extensive selection of new, fast racing tyres at whatever the price difference is, provide a pair of latex tubes at cost - if you want to set the wheels up as tubeless, I can supply everything needed, but can’t guarantee that any particular tyre will work well enough with these rims to keep the cost/utility/value equation acceptable (this is a discussion to have closer to having a definite buyer for the bike, as it’s too complicated to fully go into here - so assume it’s regular tyres and tubes for now).
The bike is based in North London and I would much rather sell to a buyer in person, so I can check the fit and make sure the component choices are the best that I can offer. I can box the up for courier pick-up, but will do my best to avoid unless buyer convinces me that it's going to be right for them.
Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
