Bump, £230 posted for the Mavic, £45 posted for the groupset

These have all now sold guys I'm afraid. Cheers for the heads up re. the links not working.

Hi all, few more bits and bobs to clear out, as follows:

1. Mixed Shimano Road Groupset. All the necessary components for a road build, including a pair of 165mm Falcon cranks (double). Shimano RS rear mech (used with 6-speed block) Shimano FE front and Shimano Tourney brakes, pads in great order. Mostly all in good shape, all worked well at the time of removal, so will just need a clean up. £50 posted.
   
   

1. An old pair of road pedals, 1980's, rusty and in need of some restoration, bearings turn well but have play so will need a service. £7 posted
   
   

1. Road saddle, pretty basic, good overall condition, one small tear in the left rear corner. A bitgrubby underneath but everything all works well. £7 posted
   
   

Thanks

Aye fair enough. I hate gloves personally and can't imagine building a wheel with them on. Too fiddly. Guess I'm lucky in the skin dept, have managed years of working at hairdressing and bike meching without needing them.

Workplace practice innit, one rash and that company's sued for £1Brazilian

...unless its the guy himself building the wheel, I don't know I really haven't paid any attention whatsoever embarrassed face

If that's true, and you really invest so much emotional energy in someone else's bike, then I think that says far more about you than it does about the bike.

This, entirely. Each to one's own and all that jazz...

Had a Cadex as my first road bike, lovely thing, aqua bluey-green.

Have a bump.

Hi all, attempting to clear out the parts bin for more needed things. Here we go:

   Used 175 Shimano Deore crank arms, decent condition, some pitting (second picture) and scuffs/scratching from use. Structurally sound, no cracks or dings. Pedal threads fine. No crank bolts.

   As with the Fuji chainring, bought brand new on the bike, but never used (replaced with an aero post). Barely any marking at all, not scratched, very nice condition.

"I mean the only thing that needs fixing is the bit were chain goes around and bit of frame needs bending a bit easy repair"

classic

The ''Verry Rair'' did it for me. Priceless.

would also be interested in a trade for an old s3 or s4? Need a new phone :/ lol

So you want to trade a wheel like this for an 'old' phone or scruffy aerospoke?

Did you create this thread in Grimsby, 'cos it smells a lil' fishy.

Heartwarming to see a bike inches from certain death, to looking great in new hands! Chapeau

That wheel/frame clearance

Um...I like it as it is.

...embarrassed face

bar angle looks fine. That purple 'njs' bike sums up bike porn, all the right proportions, colours and photography. purrrrrrrrfect

And a bike standing upright all on its own with no help from anyone/thing

I notice most fixed bike conversions seem to have old skool pedals too. Would it be a sin if I put spd pedals on it? Or is there a practical reasoning behind it?

I'd say it shouldn't matter, it's your project after all. Pedals really depend on what you're comfortable with anyway, if you always use and prefer clipless (I know I do...) then they'll be suited to you on the Le Juene. Older parts do look great with the older frames but, again, it would depend on if you were wanting to side with form over function.

The paint job on that Leader is amazing .. in the skill it took to get that look

That's actually paint? And not wrapped in some way?

That's a work of art if so.

Agreed but the Holdsworth belongs in the respray thread. Really nice job but it's hardly paint porn.

Just seen such thread, thanks.

^ A bit blustery tonight was it?

And every other night :(

^Seconded. Keep us updated for sure. Gotta love conversions, always handy for p^$£"ssing off the road/track bike purists ;)

What are your plans for the whole, are you building it up as it is, are you touching up the paint etc...?

In order:

Where I'm heading
How strong this f&%$£**($ing headwind is
How the f$^£k is this headwind blasting me in every single direction I face
How long it's taken me to get there due to f^&$$king headwind
How long it's going to take me to get back...in this f%^&$$king headwind
I'm home, where's the beer and biscuits

Touching a wheel in a crowded track race is always an ''Oh Shit'' moment, however, it's double this if you're carrying pace into the very top of one of Manchester's bankings, heading straight for a slowing rider peeling up right in front of you and pretty much ramming his rear Michelin

Heart fell through my arse.

This <3

@ FujiRacer: It looks like big and flat polar bear:-)

Haha!

Looks good. Cellulose?

Not cellulose, possibly some sort of acrylic-based paint. Ignorant paint noob right here.

Shameless posting of a self-respray. Ah well, I always was a rebel...
