As the title says... looking for an old Easton EC70 or EC90.
Needs to be one of these specific models as shown in the pictures.
I got an nice set of finishing kit from here a while back and refinished it to go with a Giant frame I picked up, also on here... that build is nearing completion...
I custom painted my stem and I've lost the hardware in a workshop move... might turn up one day... might be gone. C'est la vie.
Condition of the stem doesn't really matter... I'm looking to scavenge the plate, barrel nuts, bolts and faceplate to make my one whole.
I'd prefer the EC90 'cause the faceplate is black carbon but I'll live with an EC70 if someone has one they're able to sell.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I happened into ownership of this.
Pretty battered NJS frame.
Got a steer that it was potentially a Yamaguchi but the brand were unable to confirm or deny after I reached out. Painted it with 'Yamagucci' instead for the lolz... I kinda feel like bikes don't look complete if they don't have logos on.Before pics here for those who haven't seen them....

This one has been answered already but I wanna chime in with this from Runwell. Sprocket tool too. Very useful.

Hello, been trying to reach you on your number @EveryThingMustGo but getting no joy.
Your whatsapp mustn't be working either.
I'm hoping that this message might ping a notification email in your direction and get your attention on your computer.
In case you've perhaps lost your phone and can't get messages, I'll just remind you of the situation here. The Omnium cargo bike you sold has a seized seatpost and I'm looking to get a partial refund in order to cover the cost of it's safe removal and replacement. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask.
If you can't see fit to arrange that, then I will need to return the bike to you because of course its useless to me at the current saddle height.
Please respond as soon as you're able, I'd love to get this resolved promptly.
Gentle warning to anyone else looking to purchase from this user... be mindful, use Paypal G&S to protect yourself. I'm sure a former industry professional and bike shop owner wouldn't knowingly sell someone a bike with a seized post and then ignore all communications but without clarification otherwise, that's potentially the case.
Thanks.

It's a combination of standard metallics, candy products and 'candy basecoat' products.
Blacks and silvers are used first, then the candy and candy basecoats are layered over the top.
The candy and candy basecoats have some translucency so they present their own hue and act as a coloured lens to view the colour beneath. These product choices make blending and layering add up to a wider range of colours than the number of products used... I hope that makes sense!
Its a great way of offering a dynamic design with a minimal amount of masking.
It relies heavily on the skill of the application and because of the freehand nature of the painting, each one is a little different.
Its quite impactful as far as paint goes and doesn't need any technical insight for a casual observer to appreciate it.
It has limitations but many paint finishes do for what it's worth.
I wouldn't wish to be disparaging with this comment but I wouldn't say it was unique in any real way. Fades are well established in refinishing, candy and candy basecoats are off-the-peg, and pairing black and silver with these types of product is how it's been done since the dawn of time. Then obviously it makes the cromovelato reference that many of us recognise.
Its a good effect and they use it well.
You can ask any refinisher to do tat sort of finish for you if you're keen.

Sorry to hear that.
Presuming the bike was locked properly, there are a few approaches to stealing a bike...
- Angle grinder a heavy duty d-lock style
- Bolt-Cutters on a cable, or braid, or chain style lock
- Force/pick a budget/older lock open
- Damage the thing the bike is lock to, and get the lock off later
If stealing bikes is how you make your living, you know which ones are vulnerable.
Good for them, not for us.Bike theft in East London is particularly common.
Tampering with the lock in some way is common.
Leaving the damaged lock behind is the default... you want the bike, not the lock.If it was a registered Kryptonite brand lock, you can potentially make a claim.
If you can give some more info about the lock, how it was locked, where it was locked, we can all potentially give tips on how to avoid it happening again.
Again, sorry to hear that.
Make sure you do report it as a crime and if its the case that it turns up, you might get it back.
It might seem futile but you will also be increasing the stats and might contribute to improving the police responses and such. - Angle grinder a heavy duty d-lock style

Systainers are made by TANOS and lots of brands use them, the only difference really is the colour scheme. You can buy pre-cut foam inserts in shadowfoam or pick n pluck etc...
All my tools are in them... decent sized form factor to just be manageable on the front of a bike if I need to transport. The stacking functionality makes storage of multiples easy.
You wanna try and get the modern T-loc ones rather than the four-clip style more commonly used by Makita with the name "mak-pac". the former fits together much quicker and easier.
If you have a mix of the old style and the new, the new ones have to go on top of a stack... might not mater to most but can be frustrating if you have a system of any kind.
The cheapest ones I've ever bought are black with the grey clip and say "Panasonic" on the side.
If you want a wheely base for them, the metabo/hitachi one is the cheapest I've found.
Any love for Runwell in here? I'm slowly ammasing the full range. They're a pleasure to use.
