2nd dibs on the peugeot would be happy to pick up next week!

@ghostface - thanks for the feedback, appreciated, was trying to guess based on what I paid years back minus some for condition but maybe I paid over the odds back then.

Any interest in this? I'm also happy to split if people would prefer.

Photos of damage below:

Hi all,

It is with regret that I’m selling my Basso Coral frame as I’m leaving the country in a month or so and simply can’t take it with me.

The paintwork has picked up a fair few scratches through general use and having stored it in amongst other bikes for the past two winters. I’ve also not been able to give it the time it needed in recent years. As such it’s definitely not quite the beauty it once was but with a bit of TLC it could be restored to its former glory easily enough.
That said, any damage is purely aesthetic, it’s not been in any collisions and when fully set up is light as anything and a pleasure to ride.

Also thrown in:
Aero bull horn bars (I think, from what I can remember)
Tektro Rx brake lever
46t Lasco crankset
SR 10cm stem
Standard MTB pedals with straps
Standard front calliper

I’ve no idea really what to ask for this - does £330 sound reasonable for everything above? Also open to offers if people think this is too steep. The majority of the damage has been pictured but feel free to stop by to take a look if you like. Located in either SE15 or N15.

Also featured in the picture is a Brooks Cambium c17 saddle and seat post, which is a little scuffed but in generally good condition that can be either included in the set for a little bit extra or sold separately at £60.

Thanks

Looking for a wheelset - nothing too fancy needed, doesn't need to have a SS option but might be nice to have the option. Need a brake surface at least on the front.

thanks!

pm'd about the campagnolo wheelset

Hi All,

I have a pretty much brand new Specialized Axis wheelset with a flip flop hub, ridden only a few times but I've stupidly managed to strip the thread off the fixed side... Other than that the wheels are in excellent condition and would be great for anyone looking for a cheapish single speed set.

Stripping the thread has meant my project has been left without a wheelset so I'd be open to swapping or part-swapping this wheelset for a half decent track wheelset if anyone's got one available? Otherwise I think about £50 would be reasonable for them.

I've also got a brand new Shimano 600 53/42 crankset that I could do with getting rid of - Also could be included in a swap/ £50 otherwise

Based in Peckham.

Hi All,

I've stupidly neglected my bike for the last year due to injury and some time spent outside the country. Having come back to it I've found it's in pretty poor nick. I'm going to spend some time over the next week restoring her back to her former beauty, trouble is I've no idea how best to match the colours when I come to touching up some of the spots she's managed to accumulate...

I really don't want it to look like a shoddy attempt with mismatched colour patches. Do you reckon it's possible match the colours by eye? I've also thought about trying to message Basso to see if they've got some sort of colour code that they could give me so that I know I'm getting the right colour.

have uploaded original image, but if you can't view it for any reason it's a basso coral, silver/violet edition.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

cheers

Thanks! managed to finally get it off but cheers for the info! it felt like it was pretty welded on so just used a mallet and chisel to bump it out of the hooks on the frame, not the prettiest method but it worked ok!

Hi guys,

looking for some advice, I've not touched my bike in about a year, I've spent a while injured, and a fair amount of time out of the country. I decided yesterday it's time to take a look at my bike I found a fair bit of rust and so decided I'd take it all apart in order to restore it. Unfortunately it appears the nuts for the rear wheel are completely rusted shut.

I spent a good deal of time yesterday oiling it and doing my best with a ratchet, I only managed to round off the nut... Today I've tried some other methods I've tried blow-torching the bolt to try and get it to expand, no luck there, and then I decided to file it down to a size 14 spanner but that just started to round it off again.

I'm abit stuck, anyone got any ideas? I've been thinking about trying to cut the nut off although not sure how best to do that without damaging the rear wheel or the frame

thanks!

I've got a set of bullhorns and would really like a cane creek style brake lever that fits in the end, I'd just need the one so don't want to buy a set, thought someone else might be in a similar positon

It'd probably need to be posted as i'm up in leeds but I'm happy to pay a tenner for it plus postage

If anyone could help me out that'd be sweet!
