What a fantastic event that was!

I'll offer £200 delivered, however I'm wondering if you have any sales feedback on ebay or another forum to make me feel a bit happier before I make a transfer?

Equally I could travel down this Saturday and pick the bike up for £170 cash? Or £190 if you can bring it up to London?

I can strongly vouch for Loctez

dibs, pm on its way

Sorry obvious thing for me to miss out.

Fixed please - though screw on freewheel is ok if the price is right as I'm running a front brake so can suicide hub the rear

Looking for something cheap, cheerful, true and smooth for my rat bike
I am located in Portsmouth so postage would be great or I can collect when I have a day off.

Thanks!

£7.50 and bits box build

Looking for cheap parts for a rat bike/beater.
Frame was for 27 wheels and I am now using 700c, so long drop old calipers that look like this : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/Bicycle_brakes_-_animated.gif/300px-Bicycle_brakes_-_animated.gif are perfect.

For the wheelset I am hoping to go fixed, but any 700c or 27inch wheels are great if they have a screw on hub.

I am located in Portsmouth which means I'm happy to fork out extra for postage - I also realise this inconvenience puts me out of the market with most people.

Thanks for reading!

I just need the round part... or even better just a couple of nuts that fit (they need to be able to fit flush with the mount before the bracket slides on

rack and panniers seems the soundest solution. I was also thinking along the lines of a basket I can just throw my bag into then bunjees over the top to secure it - would make things simple - but I guess the cost outlay just isn't worth it.

I sweat more than a pope in a playground - not a fan of sweaty back when I only have a flannel to wash down with at work

Looking for a way to carry a rucksack (with laptop inside so needs to be of adequate width) on the bike - I guess front or rear basket but not sure of the pros and cons of each as a front basket might screw with handling? Also don't want anything too wide so that the bike can be stored effectively. On a student budget as well so looking to spend as little as poss

Thinking of using an old road frame that takes 27" wheels with 700c wheels and these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390638553536 - think this could work for a budget sscx frame and forks? Rear brake clearance shouldn't be an issue - already checked... but the bottom bracket will be fairly low down compared to a true cx bike

Thanks ordered from ebay!

Personally I am all sorted now thanks to people on here - Cheers all

as per title - whatever colour though black is preferred.
Postage to Fareham would be needed.

... or even the top half of the headset would be fine

Hit me up with your prices!

thanks anyway!

Thanks for the help!

nope!

Usually cable guides on the bottom bracket screw in - however this frame I am building up has no threaded hole to screw it in, so where would I find a suitable cable guide?

Stunning looking carbon forks, aluminium steerer 1 1/8th - loads of steerer left (had this on a 60cm bike with a tall headtube). Never crashed, great condition

£65 + postage (from portsmouth) ono

I also have a carbon frame that has been repaired to match these forks, £120 60cm, more details to be added later

Just had a thought - I might be able to just buy a shim for a current quill stem converter I have that turned out to be for 1" stems, so I think I will be ok on the quill converter

I'll get back to you shortly regarding the cable stops!

I've got a couple of quill converters. What's the exact internal diameter of the fork steerer? I also have a Shimano external bb lh crank but in mtb flavour. It is high end though as it's hollow rather than concave.

I'm pretty sure the internal diameter is 22.2. How much would you be willing to let the converter (if it fits). I might be keen on the crank, depending on how odd it would look with the road setup, any idea on what you would want to sell that for as well? Cheers!

If anybody could help me out before I pay wiggle prices that would be great, I am looking for a build I am looking to get done in the next few days:

• A quill to ahead stem converter, for a threaded 1 inch to unthreaded 1 1/8th
  
• Downtube cable stops (go where the downtube shifters would go)
  
• An silver shimano 175mm external left hand crank
  
  
  

I live near Portsmouth.

Many thanks!!

the friction works apart from clicks 3-4, but you can move it as a friction lever into place
