Same for the early 2000s Nikons (F80 etc) - light, basically infallible meter, and still so cheap you can chuck them into a bag/use as a holiday camera without worrying about them

I’ve had a set of these for about a year and they’ve been great - the rings mark quite easily but the cranks look slick and are a good match for silver Campy if you want a 52/36 or cba with ultratorque bearings

Showa gloves are getting a bit of a cult following in winter climbing as an alternative to mega expensive and not-very-durable goretex ones. I’ve also tried the Galibier ones above and found there was an awkward seam right over my ulnar nerve, but may not be an issue in bigger sizes

These are great - really regret selling my 645

Any recommendations for labs still doing individual b&w wet prints? Ideally at smaller sizes than Rapid Eye offer (they seem to start at 12x16)

Also keen to hear about experiences with the new mini, and options to hang it behind a monitor if that doesn’t impede cooling too much (presumably mounted with the fan facing out because of where the power switch is?)

Yes still have these, drop me a DM and we can sort collection

I’ve got a set of PDW ponchos (the plastic version of full metal guards) which are snug but a good fit over 25mm tyres. I’m in SE London

Aksiums sold, Mavic/Tiagra set still available. Also have a free set of Maxxis mud wrestler tyres, not tubeless, 33mm.

Thank you! Looking forward to seeing the finished build

These framesets were made by Dedacciai but stickered up by a few UK bike shops - this one is from Graham Weigh. It’s alloy with a very early-noughties carbon wishbone. Fork is generic carbon with alloy steerer. Geometry is quite aggressive, with a steep head tube angle and fairly short wheelbase making it feel a bit taller than usual for the size below (I ride 49/50cm frames at 5’5” and this always felt bigger than other bikes)

Details:

Seat tube 49cm ctc
Top tube 52cm ctc
67mm of steerer above headset- star nut is installed quite high so would need trimming and knocking down if you wanted to slam it.
BSA BB (shell recently refaced to get rid of slight BB creak), 27.2mm post, takes band-on 31.8mm front mech.
Token integrated headset and top cap included.
Will clear 25mm tyres - lots of space at the front but quite snug at the back due to the shape of the wishbone.
All external cables, but with nice Brian Rourke-style cable guides on head tube to avoid paint rub.

Orange paint still in pretty good shape, minus a couple of paint chips on the top tube, marks around the rear dropout, and marks from the FD clamp.

I may have, will have a look at the weekend

Wheelsets still available, minus cross XG tyres.

Additional items (photos to follow):

• Blackburn cargo cage with straps, v1 (this is the version for two-bolt mounts, not the later three-bolt one). Some wear to cage but straps unused. £sold
  
• Shimano R450 brake calipers, 47-57mm drop to clear mudguards on audax/winter road frames. No pads. sold
  
• Free bits: SRAM 11-36 10-speed cassette.
  

Are the Stans 650b wheels still available? Could you let me know spacing if they are? Thanks!

Bump for price drops, each pair now £35 (£50 with Cross XGs). Please help me clear out my messy lock up!

Potentially interested - presumably this is the earlier 27.5 version rather than 29er?

I’ve just rebuilt an old Kysrium rear hub on a tubular wheel set I’m planning to use for cross - it’s a pre-11 speed SL model with the SSC branding on. It’s got this rear axle which seems to have a narrow sleeve/dust seal inside that means I can’t get any standard (non Mavic) QR through it. They seem to thread into the middle but won’t pass all the way through. Am I missing something obvious, or was there some special QR to go with these?

A couple of pairs of wheels to shift, both Shimano 8/9/10 (not 11) speed:

1. Shimano Tiagra/Mavic Open Sport, 32/32. These were standard Madison catalogue touring wheels back in the day (and they've been the whole way across Europe so have stories to tell). Bearings replaced last winter, but rear could use a true. Matching Shimano skewers included. £40
   
2. Mavic Aksium Race. Fairly well used, including for cross. No matching skewers but I can find you a pair of generic ones. sold
   
   

Collection only from SE26

I’ve got a Graham Weigh that’s identical to this too, same wishbone, dropouts and tube shapes - only difference is those little brazed-on cable guides that Brian Rourke also uses. Sorry, this is in no way helpful but it’s a lovely frame - glws

It seems to play especially badly with the bright finish on campy chains and cassettes. I quickly gave up and switched to RocknRoll

I’ve got a Giant SCR 3.0 frameset if that’s any use to you? It’s an XS/S so should be a good fit with a shorter stem.

Sport Pursuit have the Sportful Giara short and long sleeve tees on sale - three good pockets that don’t sag and a really nice fabric. Sizing is a bit more relaxed that their road stuff but still very Italian

Thanks, have PMed

Did the beater Dynamo wheel set ever sell? If not, potentially interested
