Fabric still available? Any photos?

Yeh make sense. I’m sure most riders only use about 50% of their gears with a conventional setup anyway

I’d read that a clutch type rear derailleur is best for the 1x setup – not sure if that would help at the higher/lower ends

Yep, I like that take. Like the idea of experimenting with 1x but on another build

What crankset you rocking? Any pics?

Sounds good! Any pics?

Suppose depends on your rings, but potentially less range and bigger gaps between gears. But tend to agree with spinnout's take... maybe it's not an issue

Seeing a lot more people running a 1x setup on road builds, with big cassettes to compensate for the lack of range that 2 chain rings brings

Figure it might be a bit of a marmite topic as functionally it's pretty flawed for more hilly riding. But do like the simplicity and aesthetics

What do people think – love/hate? Any nice examples you've seen?

Late to the party – but my Stroma build

Loving it, but I fancy some summer upgrades... thinking maybe some Hunt carbon hoops, mainly just for the fun of it

Also seeing a lot of nice custom 1x road setups...

Ok, will take it if that falls through and you could post

Brooks saddle still available?

Will take the front derailleur if you’re willing to split.

I made a stupid mistake when bleeding my Shimano 105 disc brakes – used the disc spacer instead of a bleed block in the calliper when doing the bleed. So after pulling the brake lever to get the air out the system, the pistons have come out (presumably further than they should) and now I can’t get them back in far enough to refit the brake pads.

I’ve tried getting different tools in the calliper to push the pistons back, which helped a bit but not enough.

Has my stupid mistake resulted in unrepairable damage to the seals, meaning unfixable? Or does anyone have any advice for easing them back in?

I came across some stuff online that talks about cleaning the pistons with mineral oil, so will try that next. But they’re brand new callipers so dirt isn’t going to be an issue.

Thanks for any help!

Price drop to £425

Yeh, I believe drifter is right. I didn’t build it up myself though. Been to the bike shop recently where they fitted
a new heatset and refitted the bars

Updated with latest pics

Bought this a few years back on here and has served me well. Rode London to Paris and used it for weekend rides, but has been sitting in a garage for the past 2+ years, so ready to go.

Based in West Oxfordshire, so ideally pick up from here. May be able to deliver to London Paddington if you want to cover the train cost.

Looking for £450, but open to offers.

(May consider splitting if I had enough people interested in the bigger bits - Frameset, Wheelset, Groupset, Handlebars).

How much do you reckon this is worth? And best to sell as a full build, or split it up?

It's a little old, but has some nice components!

Looks like a decent deal, especially considering you can’t buy them new at the moment?

I’m after a groupset for a Brother Stroma build and I’m between this or a new 105 groupset.

Thoughts?

Cool, will send you a message

Still available?

Very interested, PM on the way.

Yes, potentially. I'll send you a message @BeniRavens

Sale fallen through. I can meet at London Euston station between 14:30 and 15:00 tomorrow so send me a PM and make an offer if you're interested.

Yes, this one caught my eye @Charlie33, thanks!
