Record 12 speed group set for under £1000 with choice of chainrings.

Thanks! I tend to 'struggle along' on the inside ring :)
Yeah, these are 25's and actually feel fine on this bike, it seems to handle the bumps well. I've got a Reynolds 753 steel bike that feels harder on the knocks, could be bars and wheels though (or my imagination).

The time of year will play a big part I imagine.
The frameset photographed nicely with the stem/seatpost could fetch good money, but it's hassle to do.
This is my lower-model VX Edge to contribute to the buyer appeal maybe.

Royce chainset 170mm, 42/51.
£150 so not a bargain with mismatched coloured chainrings, but very nice

I'd like this for the Sram red AXS rim brake levers (I sold a pair on here for £200 last year and wish I hadn't).
Currently under £300 but the buyer said he'd take £1000. A shorter stem won't be cheap though.
Look 795 Light with Sram Red, carbon wheels and look aero chainset - XL

Thanks 🙏 I suppose that's why it's cheap.

'Norfolk cycle Workshop' has a titanium road bike for sale for £220 with a carbon fork. It's a 52cm I think. Find him online and send a message if that suits 👍

Yeah, I suppose so. It seems a few of those chainset are being sold off at the moment, maybe there was stock or a special offer at the distributor. I messaged to ask but assume I won't get a response until Monday.

They have the AXS red chainset for £199 but no details on chainrings or arm length

I saw the XT trekking brake set for £100 on tredz I think.
Edit, oh yeah, I saw them on merlin 😂 sorry

This early Giant TCR is nice

Thanks for the information. I did some more reading too and it seems the 'Edge ' is the 'cheaper' model isn't it.
There's an interesting article for the new buyer about the differences between Vectran fibres and Kevlar here: https://osnf.com/vectran-vs-kevlar/
There's a great video on youtube of somebody analysis a TIME frame that is cut in half, it's good.

Hope it sells quickly.

Really nice to have one so original.
I've got a VX edge, it's one I'll always keep. To me it feels like the perfect balance in a bike. And the tubes have a decent wall thickness so feel very durable without being heavy.
I'm using 25c but I think 28c will work.
How is the edge different to the VXS if you don't mind me asking?

oh yeah, thanks. Corrected.

Corima Winium tubular wheels, tyres and dura ace cassette for £195 cash collected Crowborough
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335291284302

Does anybody know of inner tube recycling place where I can post a box?
Happy to contribute some costs. There must be 40-50 tubes collected over a few years.
Any pointers much appreciated.

Yeah, the nuances of behaviour on a forum and classifieds is always tricky to get right too, isn't it. What is a good price, what is an offensive price that deserves criticism... or innocent naivety or somebody hard-up needing every penny etc.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but we can let them be defensive, it's such a small misstep and maybe they've just worked a 15h shift in a care home and didn't stop to think. Or they work for HSBC and love money....either way alot of people will get defensive if they're shamed on a public forum.
If they regularly take advantage of friendly prices to turn a profit on ebay, ban them.

Maybe there is a place to report it privately with links and the admin can send a gentle pre-written 'nudge' to that person in a PM that if they get a good price for something, it would be nicer for the forum if they resold it on the forum at a similarly good price - Gives somebody the benefit of the doubt before they are publicly criticised and it becomes heated.

I imagine the rear triangle, modifications and refurb/paint cost a more than the asking price. I almost went for it and would be tempted if it needed shifting again.

I think the arms are only 400g and with chainrings they not much over 520g.
