Got an ancient Ortleib messenger in grey and black. 22l (i think).

Minimal usage, been in a cupboard for donkeys. Will dig out some pics if it sounds like the right thing, 20 quid?

No immediate pics but will get some up this arvo.

Having a general sort though of the house and have some sizeable bits to get rid of..

Sage Coffee grinder and machine. Recently upgraded both my machine and grinder, so these are no longer required. It's an excellent setup and yields great coffee, I've just got too deep into the coffee game and wanted more parameters to much about with.
Sage "the smart" grinder - had for a number of years. Never had issue with it. Solid working condition, will give burrs a clean up before it goes anywhere.
Sage Bambino espresso machine. Again, a solid entry level machine, good working order. Descaled regularly.
The above comes with a normcore bottomless portafilter, normcore tamp, some descaling agent, and all the usual bells and whistles that these bits come with. I unfortunately don't have the boxes anymore.
Looking to get £300 for the lot. The normcore upgrades on their own rrp for about 100. Could split it up if I find the ppl for it but would prefer to shift as a job lot.

Ikea Alex drawers:
I have 3 x Alex drawers in Blue
https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/alex-drawer-unit-grey-turquoise-30483799/

As well as a solid oak worktop around 2.4m long and 80cm wide. Originally this was all used to create a desk which ran the length of my study, but has since been replaced with a standing desk. The Alex drawers all have drill holes in the top, where I used furniture legs to raise the desk off the units for better height. See example here:
https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Frivjucmvuhw81.jpg&rdt=36519

I've since removed the furniture legs, but still do have them if anyone wanted to replicate this.

The oak worktop does have a bit of a stain on one small section where the missus spilt some cola on it and it sat under a monitor stand for a while. I'm sure you could sand and treat this though.

You'd 100% need a van for the worktop, it's massive and heavy as it's solid wood. The ikea drawers are also fairly bulky.

Looking to get £100 for the 3x drawers and worktop, as they're a pain in the ass to move.

Collection would be from Crofton Park (SE4 near the station)
Pics to follow later today. Cheers!

Story of my life brother.

Don't want to hijack here but also after a 137 in silver with all the gubbins!

Going to be splitting this up and reposting, with a bunch of other parts available. Cranks being used in a different project. Thanks.

Collection from Newburgh St W1F. Gonna go in the recycling at the end of the week.

Cheers.

Did you want a S75 Chainring? Or any decent 48t? Have a Zen 48t in great nick.

Any rise on that bar? Ta

I could well be! What you got sir?

Looking for some bits:

Thomson elite seatpost 31.6mm silver
X4 stem 80mm, could maybe do 10mm either side of that
Town-style bars, think gusset stash or similar
Brake Calipers, something understated / minimal / silver
Levers, same as above.

After anything in this sort of vein, so let me know what you have!
Based in Soho / SE4
Thanks,
Chris

Cool thanks, PMd!

Don't suppose the freewheel is still about? Thanks!

Just posting this here to get the feelers out on if this might be of interest to anyone..

This formerly belonged to @Velocio and was the infamous white and gold build until I snagged it and took away all the fun bling.

It was professionally repainted by the guys at @QuinntessentialColours and the photos of the finish don't do it justice. The decals on the seat and head tube are painted in a dark grey under the lacquer, and are nice and subtle.

Pics here are slightly different to the current specs. The cockpit and post/saddle setup is different, however I have plenty of bits that can be swapped in and out to suit. Will take more pics hopefully this weekend with a more up to date build.
Specs wise now it has the following:

Brother 60cm track frame in 725 Reynolds - Blurple Flip Paint Sparkle with Painted decals.
DT Swiss T1800 Wheels
Sugino SG75 Bottom Bracket
Sugino SG75 Silver Crankset (175mm)
Sugino SG75 Chainring (50t Black, can swap for alternatives here on request)
Izumi Standard Track Chain - Black
19t Cog (purple - not sure on the brand).
Nitto S92 Seatpost (black pictured but currently fitted with silver)
Fizik Aliante saddle (not pictured)
Shimano Dura-Ace Headset 7410
Nitto NTC Technomic Stem (silver, not pictured)
Nitto B809aa Risers (silver, not pictured)

Frame measurements:
Top tube 57cm
Seat tube 60cm
Reach 42cm
Wheelbase 98cm
Chainstay 39cm
Front centre 59cm
BB drop 5.5cm
BB height 29cm

Drilled for a front brake, not a rear. With a max clearance of 28mm.

Bike is beautiful, super light, and has been ridden less than 50 miles. I finished the project and immediately found a replacement track frame more suitably sized.

Built up by the guys are SeaBass, it's ready to go.

Looking to get £1000, but understand there's not many people this will fit, who will want something complete and to this spec. Let me know if I'm way off or if you have any questions, cheers.

Very lovely, do you know the weight as is per chance? Ta

Looking for the above. Let me know if you have one tucked away in a shed somewhere.

Cheers!

Hey mate, I have this that I picked up from the forum a couple years back. Original posting:
https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/374621/#comment16581619

It's never been built up or ridden. Bought and kept stored in the house for two years. Would happily take what I paid for it, if it's of interest. Cheers.

So have you been using this alongside some easy wheels? Or have you only replaced your wheel on the mudguard? Thanks

Yeah I feel like that's the vibe I'm after. Edging towards the Joseph Kuosac light versions.. Foolish question but if I invest in a rear rack do I need to double up on the amount of easy wheels? Thanks all

Also, apologies if this has been addressed in this thread multiple times but I couldn't find definitive results; are people down with eazy wheels? Or other alternatives? The stock ones are so bad and I'd like something with a smooth action. I've read about people using inline wheels but that its fiddly and you can get heel strike. Anyone have a killer recommendation for an alternative? Cheers

Ok cool, I'm gonna have a think about gearing. I think the electric front wheel is just lulling me into a false sense that the gearing is easy wheras I'm just getting carried by a battery!

It's an electric so that's probably why going down seems silly for me. Anyone got any reccos on alternative 54t 130bdc rings? Ta!

I'm pretty fresh to the brompton scene if I'm honest, so I'm not familiar with all the mods! I'm assuming the second hand one I grabbed is using the 2 x stock cogs on the rear, so yeah thinking the 54t is the shout for a bigger top end. Do you use the one you linked above or are you rolling with an official Brompton one? Cheers!

Yeah I was thinking moving up to 54 as I know there's also an official option for that! I just thought I might be missing something with people sizing down to 44, as I feel like the bottom 3 gears are so spinny with the 50t, I was surprised sizing down was the done thing. Surely the duo chainring is a bit unnecessary considering there's no front derailleur ? Thanks for the link at any rate I'll check out other options!

I've been looking at switching up gearing for a m6l.. and see a lot of mention of running a 44t chainring. Surely this gives barely any good top end? With the stock ring the highest gear doesn't feel that high? Unless something is not sitting right with the gearing of course! Any suggestions?
