Hi mate is it still available?

If so I'll dibs it...

Thanks, should have investigated further but based retail price on what I paid for them.

Prices updated!

Hi all,

Selling a few bits and bobs - available for collection Central during the week/days or East (Dalston/Homerton) on evenings and weekends.

Can post if P&P covered by buyer and transaction made via Paypal for protection.

Prices are, I believe, fair, but always open to offers.

Cheers

Having recently got 3 wheels stolen while moving house (1 on my gravel bike and 2 on the bike below), I have no choice but to part with what is left of the mountain bike so can fund some new wheels for my gravel bike...

Sooo... ideally to sell this as it is rather than splitting for parts. All it needs is 2x 26" wheels with a 9-speed cassette and discs - and will be good to hit the trails and/or roads!

When it had wheels, it was an awesome bike to ride. Well fun and felt super sturdy. Hasn't been used as much as it should have, and primarily on road. Rode occasionally on light trails in Epping, never crashed nor jumped with it.

Fork is well plush and responsive, the frame appears bombproof. I gave it a full service (including the fork) last September and swapped/upgraded most of the parts. Full list below.

Users' reviews of the bike can be found here, all raving: https://www.mtbr.com/product/bikes/xc-hardtail/gt/avalanche-0-5.html

SOLD which I believe is a more than fair price considering the quality/condition of the upgraded parts + the fact that you get a great frame and fork combo for a few tenners more.

If any questions or offers, give a shout below or hit my inbox.

• GT Avalanche 0.5 Large size frame - structurally intact, just a few scratches and marks here and there. Excellent condition for a year 2006 bike
  
• Marzocchi EXR Dual Air fork 100mm travel - serviced a few months ago, stickers have scratches but structurally intact and working wonderfully
  
• Renthal Duo Stem 50mm offset / 10deg rise - Purchased for £75 last June. Mint condition, rode a handfull of times since. Could sell it on its own for close to the RRP but rather sell the lot at once. Unless someone is interested in the stem only, hit me up with an offer
  
• Crank Brothers Cobalt bottom bracket - excellent condition, rode just a couple of times (on road) so has most of its left - Purchased for £55 last December
  
• Sram X9 groupset (minus the cassette) - great condition. Front derailleur has been changed to a Deore when the bike was serviced, but work seamlessly
  
• Fabric Cell Radius saddle - great condition. Just a bit of discoloration, but awesome saddle. Really add 1 or 2cm of "suspension" for your bum. Purchased for £50 last year
  
• Truvativ Blaze cranks - good condition, few marks
  
• Shimano Hydraulics brakes - great condition. Have been serviced last June too.
  
• FSA Comet bars - good condition
  
• Lizard Skins Danny MacAskill grips - excellent condition, fitted last December so plenty of life left
  
• Stolen Thermalite Pedals - bearings are still smooth, pedals just a bit dirty as you can expect.
  
  

The price of the Renthal stem and Crank Brothers BB come up to £120 so add a few tenners and you get a nearly complete quality MTB :)

official dibs on the GT

Hi mate, I might be interested in the GT!
Will PM you in a sec

The bike is now sold! Thanks all for the interest and James, pleasure meeting you! Happy riding

Thanks for the interest guys - I've replied to all PMs received.

I've now updated the listing with exact frame measurements. Let me know if you need more specific ones.

Will try to upload the new pictures by tomorrow.

No worries - although I can't do anything about the blue rims (although Armourtex could), I'll have all the missing info and pics posted tonight in case you change your mind.

Sorry for the delay in getting back/updating the pictures and sizing - all will be done today.

The_Kindness_of_Trees, I agree that the blue rims can seem out of place on this bike (this was the exact same thought I had when I first saw the picture from my friend), but the pics really don't do it any justice... the blue blends relatively well with the celeste while the pearlescent paint really steals the show here.

Frame itself is very well preserved. Structurally it's flawless, cosmetically only has minor marks and a couple paint chips on the top tube. Happy to arrange a meeting on evenings or this weekend if you'd like to have a proper look at it to get a better opinion?

It is with great sadness that I’m putting my beloved Bianchi up for sale after months of indecision. To cut a long story short, I can’t justify keeping it due to lack of space and the little use I gave her since last year due to several injuries.
I’ve been riding it for the past year and a half, mainly for 5-10 miles commutes and the occasional cleared sky weekend rides – bought from a bike-collecting friend who had to start clear out his collection. He built it back in 1995 and has taken great care of it since, I am the second owner and kept equally good care.

Overall condition is, conservatively, 7 out of 10 (more details by component below). Few paint chips here and there, small bits of decals are stained but no dents nor dings at all – only cosmetic marks, nothing structural. The bike has been kept indoors and rarely ridden in wet conditions. No crashes to report.

The ride is fantastic, I’ve tried my share of steel road bikes and this ride outclassed most – if not all. Extremely responsive, light and stiff - yet provides a comfortable ride even on London’s streets (thanks to the Randonneur). I’ve also done a few 60+ miles ride in Surrey Hills or Norfolk without any discomfort. It’s more versatile that one would imagine it to be (me first).

-Bianchi Reparto Corsa frame with internal cable routings – Columbus TSX Ultra-Light tubing.

Seat tube - 57cm c2c, 58.5cm c2t
Top tube - 57cm c2c
Standover height - 84cm from floor to top of top tube

The frame is fully chromed under the beautiful celeste pearlescent paint. A few paint chips, nothing too bad and the chrome remained intact. Frame is straight and dent/ding free - overall good condition for a 20 years old bike.

-Tange Cr-Mo straight fork – unfortunately my friend decided replaced the fork for a straight chrome one and no longer holds the original (stolen with the bike he fitted it onto).

-Dura Ace 7410 groupset:

• Front and rear derailleurs – great condition, work perfectly and shift smoothly. Cables replaced last summer, gears might need a bit of adjustments to operate as well as they can get.
  
• Dura Ace inner chainring (toothing TBC) and Specialites TA outer chainring 52T (fitted last summer)
  
• STI shifting brake levels – a few cosmetic marks, work perfectly. Cables replaced last summer.
  
• Dual pivot brake calipers – great condition, pads still have some life in them
  
• Sunrace 8 speeds Shimano HyperGlide compatible rear cassette – fitted from new last summer, great condition and works a charm with the DA brifters.
  
  

-Wheelset - 36h front and rear:

• Dura Ace low flange hubs – great condition, they roll forever. Bearings have been replaced shortly before I bought the bike
  

• Mavic Open Pro blue anodized rim – good condition, decals are slowly starting to peel off. Nothing else to report, they feel bombproof.

• Condor 80mm quill stem - good condition

-3TTT Forma SL Ergopower handlebars (42cm) in gunmetal grey + dark grey Specialized bar tape

• Aluminium pedals with integrated toe cage
  
  

-SRAM PC 850 chain (fitted last summer)

-Generic steel seatpost – I’ll also throw a black one with the lot

-Selle Italia X2 white Saddle – used but still looks/feel good (happy to leave the Charge Spoon on it for an extra £10)

SOLD SOLD SOLD

NO SPLITTING at this stage, unless I can split and sell everything at once to multiple buyers.

The bike is located in N1 and ready to be viewed/inspected. Payment in cash preferably, possibly direct bank transfer if done and received when the bike is being picked up. No PayPal, sorry.
I’m happy to ship the bike but courier handling and cost will have to be handled by the buyer. For International/European shipping, please get in touch via PM.

Any other questions, give me a shout - thanks for looking

Nice looks. Here's a dibs.
Are you London based? Viewing possible?

overoptimistic 4th interest...PM sent

And here comes another one...

Got my recently re-built Raleigh Randonneur stolen from Boundary Street E1 last night around 10pm while at the restaurant.

Little fucker.

Gumnetal Grey / white headtube Raleigh Randonneur late 80s frame. Mavic SUP 2 wheels, Suntour chainset, Shimano rear and front mech, Cinelli black stem (logo gone ages ago), Cinelli World Champ drops with black/white logo Cinelli cloth tape, Shimano 105 brakes, Shimano 600 aero seatpost and Cinelli black Unicanitor Barry McGee saddle. Please see pics.

Not a stunning bike but very big sentimental value so prepare to do anything to recover it. Any help mucho appreciated, beers reward and eternal gratitude if anyone can help me find it.

Thanks a lot peeps.

Ooooh I'll get that Steely Dan - Aja off your hands! Dibs and will PM when I get home tonight... ta

still available? 2nd dibs just after shibbylibertine just in case...

What a beauty, I'm very tempted but afraid it might be too small....
Can I get the stand over height of the bike please?

Stll here for now - here is a link to some unprocessed JPEG samples taken with the camera.

Not the greatest shots but gives an idea of the low light/overall performances.

And here is for the final price drop: now £250!

HI lowpug, sorry for the late reply been away for the weekend.
The camera is ideal for some backpacking holidays, I used it in Mexico for a couple of months and it was perfect - small, easy to carry, solid and always producing high quality snaps (I'd say the results in RAW are closer to a DSLR than a compact camera).

Excellent for landscapes as the lens is a 28mm. Never felt a wider or narrower lens would be an improvement, great for all situation from landscapes to street photography, as well as some macro works too.

Let me know what you think, I can email you some landscapes or other samples images if that can maybe help?

hump day price drop bump - now £260 for the lot

Grab yourself a bargain on a truly fantastic and hard to find camera! Before I feed it to the wolves on eBay...
