Yes I meant road drop outs.

Thanks for your suggestion. I am also aware of 2dehands/2ememain.

Please bare me in mind when you return to The Netherlands.

Thanks

I have a Concorde Squadra which I date to the mid 90s. My bicycle is identical to the one in this photograph from a retrobike thread except that my bike has horizontal drop outs. There are no stickers on the frame although I am fairly sure it is also Columbus genius.

I have never owned the original fork, it came with carbon ones.

I'm looking for a chrome fork with the engraved Concorde logo on the shoulders of the fork (see picture).

I would also be interested in any chromed forks which have no marque whatsoever.

Any other information you may have about these bikes would be greatly appreciated (I am aware of the Concorde owners thread).

Thanks

An update regarding the generic torque wrench planet X jobsworth / wiggle or chainreactions brand-x etc. These are not ISO certified.

I will buy the blue spot torque wrench which is, also the lifeline one and other similar generic torque wrenches are also certified.

I am sure then non-certified ones are fine but I just want to be sure.

I've had an acknowledgement and the respondent said they would get back to me tomorrow

Bluespot 1/4" torque wrench (same torque range) is ISO certified and is cheaper on eBay. It doesn't have the bits so this is a better deal if it is ISO certified.

Good to hear. I am waiting for a response from planetx support. I will update this thread when I have a response

I saw this on hotukdeals: https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/BNTORQUESTAND/jobsworth-torque-wrench-and-workstand-bundle

I am most interested in the jobsworth torque wrench which costs effectively only £20 with correct bits.

Has anyone got one of these?

If so, do you know if it is ISO certified or not?

Thanks

Sold. Thanks for your interest

I am not sure why it is doing that funky thing with the quoted code for listed items. I am going to leave it for the time being...

Niner RLT9 Steel 56cm:

https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/366142/#comment16105795

Collection from North Manchester

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the heads up!

Special price for LFGSS members

Niner RLT9 Steel frame and fork, 2019 model in 56cm size .

Excellent condition; used only on a couple of occasions. I cannot see any cosmetic damage. The fork steerer has not been cut very much. It is relatively clean although there is some dirt or sand trapped under the protective tape on the down tube near to the bottom bracket (Can be seen in the photographs)

Everything you need to know is below:

Here is a full spec list from the niner website (https://web.archive.org/web/20190911210622/https://ninerbikes.com/products/rlt-9-steel):

Frame summary: REYNOLDS 853 STEEL; EXTERNAL CABLE ROUTING; INTEGRATED BOTTLE, BAG, RACK AND FENDER MOUNTS; FLAT MOUNT; 12X142 THRU AXLE
Fork summary: NINER RDO FULL CARBON; INTEGRATED BOTTLE, BAG, RACK AND FENDER, external cable routing,FLAT MOUNT; 15X100 THRU AXLE
Frame mounts and fittings: 2 Inner Triangle Bottle Mounts, 1 Mount Under Down Tube, 1 on top tube, rack and fender mounts.
Fork mounts and fittings: rack mounts and fender mounts
Seat collar size: 29.6mm (This is non standard)
Maximum front rotor size: 160mm
Maximum rear rotor size: 160mm
Fork rake: 45mm
Seat post size: 27.2mm
Cable routing: Outer-cable external, electronic (Di2, etap) internal.
Headset size: 1.125" X 1.5" TAPERED ZERO STACK HEAD TUBE, 44MM UPPER, 56MM LOWER, CANE CREEK DESCRIPTION: ZS44/28.6 ZS56/40
Chainring compatability: 1x, 2x and 3x
Q-factor: 168mm
Bottom bracket type: PF30, 68mm wide (Sram pressfit).
Brake mount type: flat mount (30mm rear)
Rear wheel spacing: 12 x 142mm thru axle
Front wheel spacing: 15 x 100mm thru axle*
Max tyre clearance: 700x45c or 650B x 47c

The differences between this frameset and newer models is:

tyre clearance is (only) 45cm (instead of 50cm)
Front through-axle is 15x100 (mtb non-boost) instead of 12x100 (road).
A few less bosses and bolts for bag mounting

Also included:

Fitted Hope PF30 bottom bracket
Fitted Cane Creek headset
Fitted protective frame tape: down tube,seat tube, top tube near bag mounts
Extra derailleur hanger
Custom made frame bag
Original headset
Some screws for mounts (Not photographed)
Head badge (has come loose from frame)
brake conversion mounts (from flat mount to post mount)
derailleur cable guide
Extra external cable guides for down tube
Plastic piece to accept 34.9mm clamp on front derailleurs
Compression plug and top cap

*I am also selling compatible wheels (DT swiss and Fulcrum hubs have replaceable end caps making them compatible with a 15mm axle)

In my opinion this is a very good offering for a gravel bike:

The geometry is a good balance between comfort, handling and practicality for multiple use case scenarios (Please see geometry chart: https://web.archive.org/web/20190911210624im_/https://media.pagefly.io/file/get/rlt9_steel_geo-1minjpg-1546549890838.jpg)
The tyre clearance is ample for wide tyres making for a comfortable ride (The frame material has no bearing on ride quality or comfort!)
The steel frame makes for a strong and dependable bicycle which will take good care of you if you take good care of it

I bought this at the end of last year with the intention of doing my own gravel bike build but I have decided to only focus on road bikes. That being said, I am in no hurry to sell...

I would much prefer it if you collect the bike frame however if it is necessary to ship it I will do it properly. The frame will be well packaged with pipe insulation protecting the frame tubes, it will come in an appropriately sized bicycle box with lots of packaging inside and will be shipped with parcelforce 48.

To buy the equivalent frame from new it would cost ~£1,400 (https://www.bikeinn.com/bike/niner-rlt-9-gravel-frame/137545944/p?id_producte=10645462&country=UK&belboon=2107152212206310910&campaign=) and I am including the hope BB (~£100: https://r2-bike.com/HOPE-Bottom-Bracket-PF30-PF46-73-mm-stainless-steel) , to potential cost to install the BB and cane creek (~£50: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/cane-creek-40-series-zs44-zerostack-headset/rp-prod115635) headset amongst other things so this is a considerable saving for a frame which is practically new.

£800 for collection from North Manchester + £25 shipped in the UK

WTD: Various parts to finish a winter bike build

1. Pair Shimano dual pivot calipers:
   
   • Preferably something non painted from the 90s so I can remove the logo
     
   • They don't even need to match
     
2. pair of 28c tyres
   
   • Preferably folding but I'll take what I can get
     
   • Just need to have some tread left for this winter
     
   • Again don't need to be matching
     
3. 8-10 speed Shimano rear hub with QR skewer
   
   • Can be either mtb or road
     
   • Any condition is fine
     

I am on the look out for a compact octalink crankset. I believe I am looking for octalink V1: it is to go with a DA BB7700 (Only 170g!)

I believe the FC-R345 is my only readily available option but I was wandering if somebody is aware of any others.

Here is a list of all the ones that were once in production (that I know of):

There was a Ritchey WCS crankset made for octalink (Somebody made a post about this a month ago but nobody responded)
They made the Sugino Alpina for Octalink at one point
Cannondale Coda Expert (Seems to be pretty rare; very light)
FSA Gossamer/SLK/carbon pro (most of these were ISIS drive but I think the made some with Octalink)
Maybe something else from Shimano; Sora or Claris (e.g. FC-2450 but it weighs 1kg)
Stronglight Pulsion (Very light)
Deda D-power (This might have been isis drive only)?
M.D. ST?
Look, Time, ITM, Deda possibly?

Please let me know if you are aware of any others.

Thanks

BB-5500 BSA: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133815382250

I also have a BB-5500 which is currently fitted to a bike with the 105 triple. Both are 109.5mm width and italian thread. I would like to at least hang on to the dura ace one try and make it work...

Ah I see. Please can you send a photo?

So this crank you have now is not compact and you are also looking for one?

I am trying to cast as wide a net as possible. Please let me know if you are aware of any others.
