I picked up a shiny 48t chainset from eBay - from an Australian seller. Still listed on there, as far as I can see. Think it was around £35 and turned up incredibly quickly. Would recommend.

Wheelset still available?

Excellent - I'll check what size BB when I'm home and get back to you tonight if that's okay? I'll definitely take the headset though.

Interested in threaded headset if it's still available, and also potentially BB too, need to check measurement.

Feels like there might be a crucial word missing there?

I'll take the seatpost if you're willing to post? Or wait until 16th August for me to collect? Can pay immediately if so.

Would be interested in the seatpost if you're selling it?

[QUOTE]...700c single speed rear wheel (+any tyre?)
Bar tape of any description/QUOTE]

I have a black 700c SS wheel and some used white Cinelli Gel Cork bar tape you can have for free.
Bought/salvaged wheel from the Popup honesty box, for a my beater, but never used it. Nasty single wall rim, nasty alloy spokes and a freewheel that previous owner has put on backwards (tool slots next to flange) so v. difficult to remove, but it spins, it coasts, and it's true enough. Bar tape was used, got a bit dirty, so I replaced, but machine washed it (!) for... A moment like this!
PM me if you're interested; I'm around most of the weekend to meet/deliver.

Oh man, that would be absolutely amazing. Will PM you now. Thanks.

Finally managed to find a beater to replace the 2nd bike my gf has had stolen in 3 months. On the look out for some cheap as possible bits if anyone has anything lying around?

700c single speed rear wheel (+any tyre?)
Bar tape of any description
Brake hoods (ideally for suicide levers but could fashion a hole if necessary)

Cheers!

Saw someone on a (pink, I think?) Mielec cycle past me on Deansgate behind Harvey Nicks yesterday evening. Anyone from here?

To fit 25.4mm stem clamp diameter.

Why am I finding it so difficult to find any? Can anyone help?

Apologies if this is in the wrong section, btw.

Does anyone have any silver cross-top levers for sale? 25.4mm ideally.

What size is the mixte please?

As above. 25.4mm OD or larger please.

Thanks.

Or if you know where I can buy some, a link to that would be great.

Are they physical tickets?

Would be interested in this if howett decides they don't want it.

Not too bad. Doable on 70GI if you don't mind some short stretches of tacking on the steeper ramps. That presumes you come up the B road out of Glossop. The Woodhead Road is easier on the gradient pretty busy most of the time. Challenging even for an experienced cyclist.

Ah, okay. Thanks. I'm currently running 52/17 so it might be a struggle. I may have a 42t chainring knocking about that would make things easier...

Sorry to bump this thread with some unrelated nonsense, but can anyone advise me what Manchester to Woodhead reservoir might be like on a SS or fixed?

Okay, probably not in a position to buy tonight - but would be good to check it out.

Cheers for the offer. Could I come and have a look tonight maybe? I'm off to Glastonbury tomorrow and not back till next week either.

There is a 3 speed raleigh in my basement, needs a tidy up and de-rust but was working OK last time it was out, that was over a year ago though. £50? I'm away for a week from tonight though so you'll probably need to pick it up later today.

Does anyone have a cheap/beater bike with a step-through frame for sale? My friend has just had her bike stolen and is distraught, and isn't particularly flush to spend a lot on a replacement.

Cheers.

I really want to do the DD, but I live in Manchester and the return coach to London has sold out. Does anyone know what other options there are for getting back?

2nd dibs?

Not to worry. Let me know if it falls through for any reason.

Ta.

Dibs pedals if you can post to Manchester...
