Electron wheels from the late 90's any good?

I'm really sorry guys. My housemate locked the bike up in his room (with good intentions) and I wasn't able to bring it down to Bristol. I'll be up again in 2/3 weeks and will definitely bring it back down with me. Will comment at a later date.
Sorry again for the tease

Bump. Price drop

interested in the front mech if you split

Can't PM you atm since you're new.
What's your email? I'll drop you a quick message.

Hi mate

That's perfect. I'll be working but will defs be available for sometime during those two days. I'll PM you!

It's been a long time guys!

Hoping for a quickish sale here. I've got a 52cm Supervitus (though, it's currently badged up as a Cougar) road bike, which I took to uni with me. It has been locked up inside for the whole year and only been used a handful of times, hence the sale. My accomodation is really central and I've had no need for it.

**Geometry: **
Seat tube - 52cm
More TBC
**
Condition: **
Frameset, components and wheelset are in good working order. Usual wear and tear, but in overall good condition. The wheels run true and smooth with plenty of life left in the braking strips.
There are two tiny dings on the top tube (check pics), but these are barely noticeable. Minor paint chips. There are also wall scuffs on the RHS of fork, this is probably the worst aesthetic damage, yet it doesn't detract from the look of the bike.

**Components: **
Frame- Steel. Brand unknown, could be Vitus? Tubing is SuperVitus but it has been badged up as a Cougar (any ideas peeps?). Chrome ends and chainstay. Internal brake cable. Very nice looking frame either way.lightweight and good quality.

Wheelset - Mavic MA2 box clincher rims laced to Shimano 105 - 1055 hubs.
7 speed. Tires a=have some wear and could probably do with replacing soon.

*Groupset - *Shimano 6400 set consisting of brake levers, brake calipers, crankset (52/42 - 172.5mm) rear & front mech, headset and downtube levers.
Cassette is 23/12.

Other components: Selle Italia Expedia saddle, black alloy seatpost (27.2), Italmanubri Quill stem (reach TBC) 3T Start handlebars 42cm (C-C)

I'm after £220. The bike is currently in Sheffield, but could potentially be moved down to Bristol over the Summer. Willing to post if nobody local wants it. £10 donation to the forum to be made after the sale. Postage would be £15.
Please ask any questions you may have.

Please check out pics:
(Can take loads more upon request)

Cheers mate!

20" Edison Cycles Reynolds 853 Frame - Built with Campagnolo Daytona 18-speed

Hiya guys

I'm off to Uni next Saturday so I'm unfortunately having to downgrade:(
The fear of taking this up with me and locking outside has forced me into buying a cheap beater. Sooooo I'm in need of someone taking this off me before next weekend. I'm in north-Bristol so if you want to view it drop me a line and we can arrange something.
I'd prefer cash on collection but am willing to order a courier to collect. If this is the case, the bike will be packaged with lots of protection and will arrive in the same condition as when it left me.

Background info:
I built this up at the start of the year didn't properly ride it until the summer. It's only been used for short rides, has done limited time on rollers and done some runs around town. It's a great little bike which looks nice and performs well. It could be used as a winter trainer or would be great for a beginner. It's built with Campagnolo Daytona (old-Centaur) 18 speed and Campagnolo Centaur hubs (2007) on Mavic open pro rims. ITM Millennium post, bars and stem with Selle Flite Titanium Saddle.

The frame was bought off a Chap up in Sheffield who said it was built with Reynolds 853 tubing , I was a bit dubious because there wasn't a sticker (this is due to being 're-proofed' and repainted back in 2008.) but it was confirmed to be 853 by Chris at Edison Cycles. I don't know if all the tubes are 853 but I'm guessing they are as it's a very lightweight frame set.
Being built with high quality steel tubing you can expect it to be stiff and responsive. I've found it to be a very nimble ride.

(Nowadays It's hard to come by an 853 lugged frame with nice skinny (non-OS) tubing. )

Frame details:

• The frame was built by Edison Cycles up in Clowne, Chesterfield.
  
• The custom built frame has Reynolds 853 tubing and Fancy Cinelli lugs (believed to be the same used on supercorsas)
  
• Unknown Bottom Bracket Shell (any idea people?)
  
• No down tube braze-ons. Only STI compatible. Cable guides off head tube.
  
• Seat tube clamp-on di: 28.6mm for 27.2mm Seatpost.
  
• Tecnociclo Dropouts
  
  
  

*Geo: *

• Seat tube (centre to centre): 20"
  
• Seat tube (centre to top): 20.5"
  
• Top tube: 21"
  
• Head tube: 10 1/4"
  
• Wheelbase: 39.5"
  
• Fork rake: TBC
  
  
  

(I'm 170cm and it was perfect. I imagine there will be some leeway around this height. I'd give a conservative height range estimate of 5'6 - 5'8.)

*Specs: *

• Stem has a reach of 100mm
  
• Bars are 40cm wide (c-c)
  
• size
  
• Although the group is 18 speed, the rear mech is actually 10 speed and so is the front (which is Veloce)., but these are fine working in this set-up.
  
• Cassette is 13/27 and the chainring are the standard 39/53
  
• Cranks are 170mm
  
• 1" threaded fork with Ahead adapted
  
  
  

*Condition: *
The bike is in full working order. There are no dents to the frame set.
All the gears shift well and parts have loads of life left.
The frame has a fair amount of paint chips and scuffs. Some were 'touched up' by previous owner. Overall paint is reasonable.

Daytona gruppo is good: Shifters still work really well, cassette and chainrings' teeth are in good shape, Record C9 chain has around 250miles so in excellent shape, brake blocks have wear left in them, braking strips of rims are perfectly flat and have many miles left in them, wheels still run true and spin well.

A few points to note:
-The brake cabling has been done in the continental manner. I will provide some used (and still perfectly usable) campag cables and housing if you want to change to the traditional way.
-Bike was put together by an amateur (myself) I've found it fine but it might need some fine tuning.
-Recently whilst running on the upper chainring there's been a slight sound of rubbing which I think is down to the rear mech's alignment. This is an easy fix for someone good with bikes. I've tried myself but, without a stand to aid me, I didn't have the patience… It runs perfectly in lower ring, so I've only been using that since problem occurred.
-Oh and the pedals are not included.

**Sorry for all the blabbing^^
The asking price is NOW SOLD£370NOW SOLD (+ postage). I think this is a fair price but am open to offers. **

I've only got one pic for the moment but will be taking more (weather permitting) soon.
Update: Rain has been a bummer today. Will try and get some over the weekend.

(stand makes it look more back-breaking than it actually is...)

Sold (pending payment).

@Vince

I got it done in Bristol but I'm sure there are plenty of shops offering the same service in London. Always worth going somewhere reputable though.

This phone is actually unlocked as I took it to Bolivia with me. However, I've tried to put a voda sim in it since and all i get is 'no service'. Don't know why. any thoughts?

Anyway this is still for sale after the time wasters got their dibs in...

Any takers?

**Quick sale guys!

Up for grabs is my old 16gb Iphone 4S in great condition.**

I've used it since July 2012 through to about the same time this year. 12-13 months of use. All of the buttons are 100% responsive. Phone is in full working condition.
I am selling is because I wanted a 32gb for more music/photos. I found 16gb quite limiting.

One point I must make is that I recently smashed the screen and have had it replaced by a third party store for £50. The replacement looks and works like new.

Phone is sim-locked to O2.

It will come in it's original box (but no charger, USB or headphones).

£165 SOLD

I'm in Bristol if you want to come and check it out.
Willing to post at cost as well.

Please see pics:

Evening peepz!

This is the only remaining bit from my track/fixed build. It's a mint condition **Suntour NJS 17t Sprocket. 1-1/8th . **

Threads are fine. Teeth are perfect.

I'm asking £NOW SOLD(I'm in Bristol).
Postage on this will most likely be £1-2.

Check the pics.

Hi mate

Thanks for your interest.
I couldn't tempt you in to taking the SL42 as well, could I? As the hub and rim are both 24h it's quite hard to sell them individually, so would be asking £100 (+ postage) for hub alone.

Have a think about it.

F*** it!
£170 posted for all 3 items.
Surely a bargain!!!

The rims will cost £8.50 to post them.

However, I'd rather wait a week or so before splitting the SL42.

Hi mate

I'd be looking for £45.
