Due to some unpayed student debts and the repairs needed to my current bike I am selling some of my shiny unused parts. All $$$ bling. Plus a trigger that needs a home. I am willing to sell all the Campagnolo parts as one for £150. Based in Camberwell but can move around to more convenient locations within reason. Will post at cost, signed delivery, if I can't find buyers close to. Shout out if you think the prices are wrong, I think they are fair looking at ebay right now.

New unused £10Campagnolo Record Crankset with all original bolts
Good condition £50Campagnolo Athena Brake leavers
Small brake in hood, excellent condition otherwise £50Campagnolo Record Brakes

I am having a consistent problem of grit inside my GXP bb. I have an Omnium Truvativ crankset which I love but the GXP bb seems to have road grit inside the bearings. I probable ridden 1500km or more since I have built the bike and have read online that these bbs don't have the longest lives. Whem trying to service it I can remove the cups, the rubber race and the metal spring but the bearings are sealed and impossible to remove. I have cleaned as best I can and regreased but this only seems to soften the problem for fewer than 100kms.
Has anyone else had these problems? I know that the crankset is pretty popular, it was recommended to me on this forum! Should I replace the bb with a hope bb and adaptor as I hear they last longer, this means shelling out another £80, or a new crankset entirely?
Thanks in advance for any advice, bike noise drives me nuts and and not have a buttery smooth motion is just the worst.

I am now forced to sell my beautiful Gazelle AA Special. I have installed a Campagnolo Record headset and bottom bracket and the quill and seatpost are entry level (free with bike but I can remove). There is a small but very sad ding in the top tube measuring less than a centimetre from an unlucky moment when to the bike was pushed over. Small scratches to paintwork but still all original decals and paintwork from the 80's. The bike is a lovely blue and is waiting to be either restored or made into a single speed. 58cm, comfortable for medium tall people.
In light of this I think £250 is a fair price.

Thanks guys! @MechaMorgan that would perhaps take the fun out of building it! I have bars, seat, seatpost which I can transfer from my current bike. I will put, dolan pre cursor , on the top of the list then. I've seen these wheels that are built for you @FredyCroy .
@TommyHorton i'll do a match up, see if there's money to get some moar flashy stuff.

A tale as old as time. Is the photo before or after the bus? Can't tell if this is discourage me, or just the the future speaking to me.
Luckily I also have a another job so perhaps I'll be ok. Still would like to build bike! What frame would you recommend? @conquistador

Now that university holidays are rolling into view I've decided that I should bite the bullet and work for deliveroo. I would like to put together a new quite durable not-so bling-it-gets-stolen-but-still-pretty-enough-to-get-sideways-glaces bike.
To fund this I'm going to tear up my current gazelle aa special ss and sell it to the good people of lfgss. I hope to get £400 alltogether so there's the money. I can probably contribute £50 more.
I want it to be fixed but with a front break incase of pesky red lights etc and fast as fuck. Currently riding 16/50 and will probably keep it in that region.
Been looking at aventon mataro frames on fixed frenzy. They have one on discount for £178 and sell aero spoke wheelsets for £200. But this is just from first glace.
Other than that it's just choosing flash bitZ. Wise sensei help me spend my money correctly please.

Someone shouted skid at me coming down Denmark road form the bridge. I was coming out of junction on a black Dolan Precursa, he was riding a beater with a basket. He did a little rain skid as I failed to comprehend. Twelve hours in a library does your brain no good. I'll do a sick one next time
