Didn't realise I'd been flamed over this so let me put my point across.
First of all - the prices included postage and packing as I don't have an agreement with Royal Mail like CRC etc. do so the GPX calipers were closer to £8 each.
1 - The Tektro calipers I had were matching pairs, not random rears which is all CRC had for sale. Ignoring their pricing, £13 + p&p for a pair was cheaper than eBay or any other online store. I only had 3 pairs to shift which I duly did on eBay. Yes, I wish I had put the GPX ones on there as well but I wanted all of my clutter gone so I tried a few forums.
2 - Re the GPX calipers - I had several of these well before the CRC stock appeared for under £3. I priced them at £8 each + p&p. I also offered to include a 35mm recessed nut which cost £1 so call that closer to £7. Somebody was selling them on here for £20 each (posted) so I thought £8 was more than reasonable for a NOS late 80's caliper when you consider how much NOS Dia Compe etc. can sell for.

If you must know, I paid a fiver each for them so I was lucky to 'profiteer' my way to a £2 gain on them. It hardly seems worth having negatives left against me for something so petty but that's the way it goes I guess.
None of them sold on here BTW.
There's not really much more to say on the subject and I don't want to argue the toss over two or three English pounds.

I bought this 1/8" 144bcd aluminium chainring in error. I was actually looking for a 48t 130bcd chainring which I have now sourced from elsewhere.
I do need a nice black 52t chainring to use on my double road cranks if anyone has one in comparable condition they'd like to swap.
The chainring is as-new as it was removed from a brand new bike.
Would sell for £12 inc post if anyone would like to buy it...

I have several available. Both rears but, as I've shown, one could be used as a front when used with a long recessed nut which I will include. The brake fits no problem on a "1 steel fork, should be OK on alloy 1 1/8". Would need to measure up for chunkier carbon jobbies.
£11 each or £20 for both including post.
These are lovely calipers which date from around 1999.
Excuse the naff pictures but the light in my man-cave isn't up to much. Both calipers are short reach, 39-49mm and are in perfect unused condition.
The hidden springs are a pretty cool feature of these brakes

I have 4 available. They are all rears which is a shame but, as I've shown, one could be used as a front when used with a long recessed nut which I will supply.
£12 each (posted) or £22 for a pair including post. I'm up North so collection isn't an option unless your in the Toon.

Here's one test-fitted to a 1" steel fork. It fits nice and snug.

First up is a new, unused medium reach tektro 57mm front caliper.
£12 posted.I also have a few pairs of new/unused Tektro calipers for £18.50 posted. These are short reach 39mm - 49mm calipers.
Standard 2nd class mail is £2.20 which is included in the price - please add 95p if you'd prefer them sent recorded.
PP gift or you take care of the fees. Bank transfer is also a possible payment method.
I'm up North so collection isn't really an option for London-based hipsters but anyone in The TOON can collect the front caliper for a tenner or a pair for £16.

I bought these a while back but I need 42cm bars so I'm putting this set up to part-fund buying the correct size.
The bars are still carded and haven't been touched. They still have the £34.99 price tag attached.

I have also a brand new 110mm reach, 26mm stem if you need one to go with the bars as well.

That is not a scratch BTW - it's a dog hair. )0:

I need to shift this wheelset to free up funds for something else I just bought. They are Mavic Mach 2 CD2 tubs with Ultegra tricolor hubs + skewers and a nice Shimano Hyperglide 8 spd cassette fitted.
Rear rim has some brake rub through normal usage, front has some rub but hasn't worn through the hard anodised coating. The wheels are nice and straight and the hubs spin nicely too.
Is £75 shipped in a wheelbox a decent price for them?

Firstly, I am up North so collection isn't an option unless you're near Newcastle. None of this dibbing and undibbing BS either thanks. Paypal is my ideal payment method.
Brand new Time Atac Alium clipless pedals. They didn't come with cleats but this wasn't a problem for me as they were going to be used on my spare bike. I never got around to using them so here they are.
Aliums are usually around £45 so these could be a nice buy for someone who already has the cleats. Cleats can be bought separately - they often pop up on the forums, usually for around £10.
£23 including postage.
Cane Creek TT levers. Fitted but not used as I bagged some Profile levers with internal routing not long after buying these. They are unmarked despite the crappy pictures suggesting otherwise...
£12.50 posted.Polished 110mm Bontrager Race Lite stem. 26.0mm
Up for grabs is a Polished Alloy 110mm Ahead Bontrager Race Lite 1 1/8"stem. The main body of the stem has been machine polished to a super shiny finish and would look great on your fixie or racing bike. The cap has had the Bontrager badge polished but I have left it black to create a contrast between the stem and a polished handlebar.
£14 shipped...
(I also have some 44cm wide, 26mm clamp, 3ttt ergo drop bars that have been machine polished and wrapped in black leatherette tapes. I didn't use them so they are in super condition. I'd need around £20 for them. Pics can be sorted if anyone is interested)
A lot of work was involved polishing this stem as it had a shot-peened finish which had to be smoothed out by hand before the actual polishing could begin. £14 shipped is the best I can do on this item. (other stems either sold or used elsewhere)
I have a really nice 170mm Exage chainset for sale. The cranks had the naff silver paint removed and were machine polished. They come with a polished Sturmey Archer 1/8" 48t chainring which was new prior to being stripped of a black anodised finish and polished
Threads and tapers are bang-on. Original crank caps included. A 118mm BB will give you a 42mm chainline.
The chainset hasn't been used since I polished it as I used a compact double on the bike the chainset was going to be used on...
The price is firm as this is what I have in them - £30 plus postage estimated at £5.
