Front pitlock

Yeh they're new. I bought from Italy and they accidentally sent lots more than I needed. Not sure about links, but I can check.

Having a small clear out. I live 5mins from Dalston Junction.

Pitlock skewer £15

TRP housing kit £10

KMC 10 speed chains £10 each

Quick links and brake cable (free if you buy one of the above)

The rim is cracked, so selling for £5 as I don't want to take the wheel apart.

London, E8

I've been building up and modifying my Genesis Croix De Fer 10 for the past 6 years.

The Sora groupset is now getting a bit tired and the rims have cracked (for the second time). Already started building up a new set of Ryde Andras, but then thought it might be time to build up a new bike. The frame was always a little too small, plus I've not been convinced that disc brakes work well without a thru axel.

The Fratello thru axel seems like the obvious upgrade. Even if you enjoy bike builds, is it crazy not to let Condor build it up?

Has anyone had experience selling old bikes complete versus for parts? Whats the best deal? I could strip the wheels, rack, lights, dynamo onto the new bike, then sell the old frame, brakes, other parts and groupset (though surprised if I'd get anything for it).

All the tyres are now gone.

Price drop on the wheel to £10.

£35 ono @tuttonp

Have messaged you @matteroftaste.

@doubleodavey sorry should have been clearer, it's just one tyre (the other one fell apart in 2017 I think, after my back wheel started to break.)

Airport Express 2 £35

Moving house so getting rid of some stuff I've been hoarding. Kersley Road, N16.

Collect by Thursday ideally.

Front wheel off a Croix De Fer 2016, so 6 bolt hub, tubeless tape £20

Schwable marathon and delta cruiser both 700x32 £5 for pair

Clement x'plor usb 700x35 £free

Voyager hypers 700x32 £5 for pair

Schwable G-One speed TLE £free 700x30 (these are the only tyres where I had a spate of punctures with. The tread is OK so think they could be good if run tubeless with sealant)

Spent the day in the bike kitchen and, with the expert help of the mechanics there, it now fits (just about.)

Started off using some small washers on packing tape to imitate a rotor shim. 1mm pushed the rotor into the fork, 0.5mm was OK, but there was still some spoke chaffing.

Then tightened the spokes on the rotor side of the wheel, which 'dished' it a little.

Backed the TRP Spyre pistons all the way off and then tightened the non-wheel side piston so that the calliper now sits off-centre.

When I change my brake pads next, I might need to file off some of the pad on the wheel side. For the moment though, the dynamo lights work!

Next on the list is to find a neat way of running the cable up the fork, and then to the rear light. Thinking electric tape to stick it to the fork, then heat shrink tubing to route the cable alongside the rear brake cable. I've read you can drill a small hole in a Tubus rack, which would make for a neat routing. I also need to find a big washer for the front light, and a long M5 bolt.

That's an option, but I've read it will make the front wheel weaker and more likely to go out of true.

I went for new wheels in the end, built by 23mm using some of the Kinlin rims he sources, on a SP-PD8 (6 bolt rotor) on the front, and a Shimano Rs505 hub up front.

Pretty pleased, but as I built them up in the London Bike Kitchen, f0und that the TRP Spyre brake callipers were rubbing against the spokes. Didn't take a photo, but there wasn't much clearance on the fork side, to shim the rotor over. Tried a 180mm rotor and that chaffed against the fork, which gives you an idea of how close the rotor is to the fork (you can see where it's rubbed through the paintwork in the photo.)

So options now seem to be:

Shim the rotor and hope that the fork/wheel doesn't flex too much
Dish the wheel (any downsides?)
Find a calliper with a narrow profile (Avid BB7 look narrow but a downgrade ,TRP Hy-RD or Giant Conduct would be an upgrade and look slimmer)
Get a carbon fork with a slimmer profile (e.g. Kinesis Tripster)

Am going to fit the dynamo lights and new gear cables to get that sorted. It wouldn't be fun if it was easy!

I've been using my Croix de Fer as a daily commuter, and on weekends taking it along gravel paths to a sailing club in Enfield with a fair amount of weight on the rack. It's served me well, but mid-way through the Dunwich Dynamo last weekend, the rear wheel buckled. On closer inspection, the rim is split. The front hub clearly also needs a service.

I could splash on some new Hunt wheels, build up a more affordable set (below for around £300), or make the leap to a new bike on C2W, like the Cube Nuroad FE(thru axels, hydro brakes, and a dynamo/lights) and sell the CdF frame/rack.

Is it better to stick with the CdF or go for a new bike?

Front hub: SP Dynamo PD-8
Rear hub: Shimano Deore XT rear hub
Rims: DT Swiss R500 DB
Spokes: Sapim Race black

Just moved house and my gravity rack does not fit. Has held two bikes for the last three years or so. A decent option for storing bikes if you're a renter, or just want something temporary.

Thanks for the interest!

I'm moving to a smaller flat, so with a heavy heart I'm selling my Fuji Track commuter bike. I bought it in 2014 on LFGSS from @nz_lucas who had done a great job building it up. Link here.

I got the (now defunct) Tokyo Fixed Gear to add some Nitto Riser bars. I also hacked on some mudguards. The old bars are included in the sale along with a second set of Gatorskin Hardshell Tyres. Having been my commuter for 3 years, the paint has chipped and worn in some place, but overall the bike still looks and functions very well.

PalPay (buyer pays fees) or Cash, Pickup North London, near Canonbury Overground Station.

Dibs then PM please.

Location is Archway, London. @ghostface has it, if it's in the right place

This frame, wheels and a few other bits and pieces have been sitting around in my garden for a couple of years.

Seatpost is seized, the stem has a pulley to guide the brake cable which frays and lots of surface rust. Otherwise, a decent Reynolds steel frame with loads of braze on mounts and some nice lugs.

Everything on the frame is going, apart from the tyres.

The other photos are of some wheels that came off another bike that have campy hubs, along with some other components that you can also take.

Let me know if you want more photos.

Edinburgh Bicycle Coop fitted this rack (https://www.edinburghbicycle.com/mpart-front-low-rider-rack-with-mounting-brackets-and-hoop.html) to my bike as part of an offer they had on.

Doesn't fit my panniers so selling for just £5. Pickup from near Archway.

Picture below. Please note the rack does not come with the fork hoop attachments.

Thanks,

Just missed out on someone selling a Surly front rack. Now wondering if anyone else has one in London?
