• Stronglight headset

Guys this bike is excellent. I'm the second owner, and the first seems not to have ridden it barely at all. The size (52 cm square) is pretty unusual, but great especially for ladies like me who have the short torso/long leg combination and often find that frames with the right height for them are always too long. Quit buying tiny bikes and jacking the seatpost up. Buy this bike instead.

It is in excellent condition, some cosmetic scratches to the paint that come with locking up in public but otherwise it is totally sound. The New Success groupset is really nice and in fantastic condition. I redid almost all the cabling when I bought it as well. It looks absolutely brilliant in all white kit – I ride it too often to have white bar tape, so I've done that in black, but I did the cabling in white in case I wanted to put on white tape.

It is pictured with Mavic MA40 rims laced to Campagnolo hubs (don't know which exactly, if you can identify them from photos feel free to chime in) and an unbranded cassette since that's what I use to ride it around, but I'm selling it with the original wheels to keep the groupset together. I don't have any tubular tyres though; the ones it came with when I bought it were knackered due to sitting in a shed for 20 years, and I wanted clinchers anyway. I will sell it with both sets of wheels for an extra £90. If you don't want the clinchers and want to ride it home, please have your own tubbies to put on.

Other things it's pictured with because that's what I use, that you can also buy if you want:

• Black and silver Ars Technica saddle which looks naff but hey it's comfy for me (£10)
  
• MKS Sylvan touring pedals with medium cages (£15)
  
  
  
  

I think I am reasonable in asking £350 ONO for this.

I'm selling it because I'm starting my dissertation fieldwork in Tanzania and will be gone for about 15 months. After that we don't know if we're coming back to the UK or home to Canada, it'll depend on work and visas. Therefore I'd also consider a sort of “foster” arrangement where we agree to probably sell it back to me for the same price if I return – although it needn't be a definite commitment on either side, maybe I come back but find a different bike, maybe you decide you can't possibly part with it, no problems. Let me know if you're interested in this.

Collection in Hackney or central London. I'm not posting it. I will be extremely reluctant to part it out. Dibs if you like, but the first person to put cash in my hand takes it.

Had a good transaction with NorthLondonLight - there was an initial mixup with the threading on a pair of pedals (thought they were French, they were English... understandable mistake when they're a French brand and one doesn't own calipers), but he was quite happy to swap them for another pair.

Looking for a cheap and cheerful 700c for my beater. Not precious about branding at all, as long as it rolls. Ideally true-ish but a decently true-able wheel is fine too. Even better if it's got a tyre and tube on it. No tubbies.

ooh, I need some French threaded flat pedals. Check your PMs!

Sorry for digging up an old thread - did you ever sell the 105 chainset? If not I'll likely take it.

Bummer :/

Yes, those - sorry :)

Did you ever find out if those pedals are English or French?

Cheers, I did some more investigation since and saw they looked pretty similar to some dia compes. They are aero levers though.

On a bike I bought at the weekend. They're attached to Galli caliper brakes, if that helps, but the levers have no markings on them as far as I can see. Somebody's bunged a pair of Shimano hoods on, 105 I think. And backwards at that. Anyway, I need new hoods but don't know what kind! Help?

I'll have the long-shot third dibs on the MKS pedals...

Hmm, thanks... it's definitely Guionnet though.

I don't know if it helps, but I took a few photos of the decals, on the downtube, headtube, seat tube, and seat stays respectively.

Are the Lyotard pedals English or French threaded?

Anyone had any experience with these? My husband has just purchased one, but I can't find any info beyond the fact that there's a shop with the same name in the south of France, near Toulouse. But I can't figure out whether it's a coincidence, or they were building and/or rebranding frames, or what.

I'm interested in the stem(s), what's the angle on the ITM? Or do you have a photo of it in profile?

Second dibs on the exage levers if Poodles backs out.
