Interest in the carradice / bagman, ritchey 27.2, and topeak pocket rocket masterblaster - pending pics

You thinking of selling the seatpost too?

This might float someone’s boat - look 675 with di2 and zipp 302 for £1,250

I had a silca seat pack with a boa that broke - to their credit they sent me out a replacement boa free of charge which sorted it out. More than that they sent me a bunch of them - so if anyone needs a boa to replace one that isn’t happy let me know.

PM re cassette (plus shims, brake blocks, CAAD10 bearings)

What size wheels in that saeco??

ok thanks for checking tho - appreciate it

Just discovered this thread and enjoying it immensely - terrific bikes

Another couple of pics (I also need some black cable ties…)

Nearly there - needs brake cables and bar tape and hoods

Brakes, mechs, and chainset on

Internal cabling done

Shifter mended…

Nice build - i had some of those wheels at one point - they were amazing and seemed to have zero friction in the hubs - on downhills if I freewheeled I just kept getting faster and faster...

I would have thought so - on the basis a 12spd cassette fits on the same freehub as 11spd.

Check out bomber bikeworks - they machined my 11spd cassette to fit 10spd freehub - v quick and friendly and reliable.

thanks both!

Anyone got any going spare? I need between 1-3 before I can start my new build which has rather thrown my weekend plans... sniff

:(

(these are the 0.25mm thick ones for under the dust cap of an integrated headset, not the taller spacers above headset).

Paint job was Mario vaz who lives around the corner from me - a single colour so not an expensive custom paint job partic(!) The decals were a tenner online.

Just waiting for a new upper headset bearing to arrive and then I think I can get going with the build.

First job is to finish fixing one of the di2 shifters where the buttons won’t return without pushing them back - so will dump the whole cassette with one press. Have a donor shifter from a crash wreck I’m going to pinch the buttons from.

Cracking bike this

60cm Mercian in v good nick - £375 [https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295937449337]

£399 for the top one isn't partic amazing value tbh but the saeco team branded models are more popular and the more modern dura ace brakes and wheels are worth perhaps £250 on their own depending on condition

Stars and stripes Saeco - Leeds - ding in seatstay - but £169...

Continuing the CAAD theme - CAAD3 Saeco - as you'd expect spec wise but has dura ace (9000 perhaps?) calipers and dura ace 1380 wheels - £399 with ability to make an offer - croydon

Thought I'd start a little thread for this one...

Picked up a CAAD10 with issues via this forum for not a lot with a plan to bring it back to life.

Looks decent enough in the pic below but had mismatched forks, bubbling paint on the frame (quite bad around bottle bosses), seized bolts that required drilling out, completely shot headset bearings, perishing shifter hoods and tape, a delaminated 6800 chainset, and mismatched wheels one of which had issues with hub bearings and so on.

But underneath it was still a CAAD10 - and best of all it had a decent functioning 6870 Di2 groupset - which combined with a few wheelsets and spare parts I have to hand (and a well timed shimano recall on delaminated chainsets...) means I could bring this back to life for not a lot of extra outlay.

Below is an as bought shot, then a sneaky peak of how it currently looks - more posts to come as I build it up...
