Fixie miles from Bristol to Tewkesbury. It should’ve been Worcester but I ran out of daylight after having to detour around a road that had become a river.

Anyone got some for cheap to facilitate my deeper descent into madness? 26mm clamp.

I put plenty of miles on it over the summer and it became maybe my favourite bike so it’s extremely gutting what happened to it. I’ll be happy to see it go to a good home so if your friend wants it then they’re very welcome to it.

A lovely 55cm square race frame made in Deptford in 1969 that sadly had a head-on collision with a recklessly-driven taxi. The fork is toast, but the frame still seems solid and I can’t detect any rippling on the downtube or top tube. Headset cups fit very loosely, but I can’t remember if it was like that before anyway. I’ll happily hang it on my wall, but if anyone thinks they can extract more value from it, it’s free to collect in Bristol BS5.

Thomson inline. Slightly battered/scratched though and hard to photograph

Ignore the above. I’m now after a track frame, 55cm square or thereabouts. Preference for vintage steel but not totally opposed to alloy. Would consider an old road frame too as long as it’s got long dropouts and is 120mm spaced. Clearance for 25s. Doesn’t have to have a fork if it’s 1” threaded. I’ve got £200 to spend and I’m still in Bristol.

I’m after one of these for a stupid project. 20cm steerer ought to do it but I can get away with less. Will probably need posting (Bristol).

Also interested in 10/11 speed rim brake groupsets and nice alloy wheelsets.

£100 for this junk anyone? DM if you see any bits you want to split off it.

I’ve got a Hope minus a top cap if that’s of any interest. Wouldn’t be able to post until Wednesday though.

My winter bike that I haven’t yet summoned up the energy to winterise. Ten years old yet somehow feels incredibly primitive tech. Fun though.

Unrelatedly, what’s a ballpark price for a 2015 Supersix Evo (non hi-mod) F&F in 7/10 condition? Am I right in thinking these fit 25s only if you were lucky?

I think these have been available for a while but still a bunch of cheap Teravail tyres on Lyon Equipment. I’ve got a pair of the 700x30 Telegraph on my winter bike and I’m impressed with them. Easiest tubeless setup I’ve ever had as well. £50 for the pair.

This is a hodgepodge of retro parts with a modernish 1x drivetrain.

It’s a 19” Grisley frame (Columbus Aelle OR) with forks off a Gary Fisher (1 1/8” steerer, sealed bearing headset, Head Doctor). Condition is ratty but solid.

The wheels came off a Zaskar. They’re LX hubs, which are ok following a service if not exactly butter smooth. Dunno what the rims are but there’s life in them.

Brakes are Avid Single Digit Vs. There’s just clearance for these 26x2.1 knobblies. You might get a size bigger in with some Billy Bonkers or similar.

Drivetrain is mostly modernish Sunrace 1x stuff (clutched mech!) with the exception of the shifter which is Deore. 10 speed. 11-46 cassette with a 38 nw on the front so masses of range. The crank is an old Ultegra Octalink (165mm) which clears the chainstay by a Rizla.

Bars are off an old Marin, the stem is quite a nice cromo number. Grips are Deathgrips. I’m keeping the Turbo saddle and the inner bar ends. I can stick some flat pedals and a different saddle on if required.

I built this as a pub bike but it’s proved more capable than that and I’ve done a lot of gravel on it. I’ll be sad to say it go but something else has caught my eye and I’m now in one-in-one-out territory. For this I’d quite like £175, collected in Bristol, BS5.

Ugh. Buyer was begging for it in the thread presumably with every intention of immediately flipping it. Though I see it has at least acquired some wheels and a group…

Old: Argyle Place/Ambra Vale

Very nice! What’s the tyre clearance like? And is it drilled for an allen key brake?

I’m always on the lookout for a Dan Shotton frame. Apparently he made road and touring frames somewhere up Nine Tree Hill for a few years in the 80s. The handful I’ve seen come up for sale over the years have all been too big.

Is this still available?

Very nice but you’ll quite rightly want more for one of those than I have in the budget! I’m thinking something from the 80s/90s, steel, got £200ish to spend.

My intrusive thoughts have won and I quite fancy building something really stupid. I don’t quite understand how these are sized but something equivalent to an 55cm square frame would be about right. Anything out there?

I’ll be happy to stick this in the post for you.

Anyone got a spare they’d be willing to post?

I’ve got this that I’ve been hoarding for the Colnago I’m never going to build. Give me a shout if you think it’s the right one…

£10 Zefal HPX2 Frame pump. No longer made and seem impossible to find nowadays…

This is excellent. I'm looking for a similar sliding dropout frame to run fixed. I have notifications set up for Checkpoints and Crocketts. Not sure what else is out there...
