So if the brakes themselves are also Ultegra 600 you won't be able to use current gen Shimano levers due to cable pull ratio differences. Well- you will be able to use them, and the will work, but braking performance would suffer somewhat

Maybe something like the Dia Compe BMX brake levers would suit

RE: down tube shifters- for a cheap-ish upgrade you can also get a thumb mount for the levers- so you can mount down tube shifters on the bar- though you'd also need new cables, making it less cheap ;-)

This will be an awesome bike BTW.

No reason MTB bars won't be fine. Or there are all manner of town bars available with varying degrees of sweep and rise. Some will fit quill stems too.

What brakes do you have? levers should match the cable pull ratio of the brakes

OT: Unto This last table and Wardrobe for sale in Levenshulme

Lovely things- but I have no space / need for these any more. Birch Ply finished in a very, very dark brown.

Table
width:60cm, length 120cm, height 75cm. Very Good condition barring a couple of small chips as pictured
cost around £250 new from memory, so looking for £80 or so

Wardrobe
height: 195cm, width:120cm, depth 50cm
Condition is OK, there's a crack to the top layer of laminate at the top on the curved side panel- but you can't really see it. Currently wrapped up in the shed- I can take some pics if there is any interest. Looking for around £100

Viewings also welcome

Will take the Valencias if the sale to Lucerne falls through for any reason

OK, cheers. Curious as the fittings look like they require less space than the majority of guards

What guards are those in the middle pic?

Seem to be a few of us on the forum in Levy

If you do split and HfH does not take the rest I'll buy the brakes from you

Wanted:

1. 27.2 carbon seatpost, needs to be reasonably long
   
2. Shimano Super SLR brakes- I'd like proper brake shoes please, so 105 5700, Ultegra 6700 etc. other brands with same cable pull ratio also considered
   
   

Based in Levenshulme and work near Victoria. Anyone have anything?

Thanks for the advice all

@M_V - Thanks for the tips on cleaning out the tubing. There's been no overtigthening, top of the ST is fine. I checked for burrs etc at the tube joints when I first noticed the issues, and all seems smooth.

In good light i can see the top layer of Alu has corroded a little further down the tube, and the tubing looks straight, so hopefully a small amount of corrosion is the only issue...

Almost all parts are now on their way. still searching for a decent-ish carbon post and a set of brakes- preferably Shimano with proper brake shoes.

Currently the entire build should come in a bit north of £250

Thanks, much appreciated- it is indeed an alu frame. Will try a wire brush in the next couple of days

Slow progress as I'm recovering from spinal surgery.

Getting a 27.2 seatpost in is tight as, to the point where I got in touch with Kinesis to make sue it was the right diameter- looks to be some paint or possible surface corrosion on the inside of the tube- What's the best method of removal?

Got second hand Carbon monkey lite bars, DT Swiss R1850 wheels, Zee mech and shifter. Have some Ultegra flat bar levers on the way.

Will buy a 4700 chain and wide range cassette from Ribble in the coming days

I still need brakes, pedals, grips and a 27.2 Carbon post (assuming I can get it in)

Anyone have one- I'm Manchester based, so postage will probably be required

Thanks for the offer- where abouts are you based? I'm in Manchester, so beers be be a challenge if you're down South...

I have 45mm PDWs on a more practical bike- great guards but ££. These will be for a slightly ratty build so unless I can find a 2nd hand pair I'll struggle to justify the cost

Looking for the following for a new build. I'm Manchester based, so postage will probably be required

1. 27.2mm carbon seatpost
   
2. 700c road wheels. shimano compatible, wide rims, relatively light preferred. Something like Fulcum 5 LG would be ideal,
   
3. long 25.4 clamp stem fo r1 1/8 steerer. light is good
   
4. shadow+ clutch rear mech and r/h shifter
   

i have a Kinesis RC i'd like to fit guards to with 25c tyres. Clearances pictured below with 23c on. no chance of getting full guards on. I was wondering wether i could squeeze a pair of race blade longs or preferably a pair of Giant guards if i can find a way to attach them. Any opinions?

Down tube seems a strange diameter 27.2 post is very very tight, but the tube looks straight. also wondering what size tyres I can fit with some kind of guards. 25mm may just about fit.... though attaching a rear guard will be a pain.

Pics are with 23mm tyres on

BB is finally out and the frame is dead...

Too much rust on the inside and the BB threads are corroded beyond repair.

So I took a punt on a Kinesis RC frameset to replace it. Plan is still a 1x drivetrain and risers

@Chak what frame are you using for your project?

So, BB is still stuck but I'm convinced it'll come out with enough leverage. The in-laws have a workshop that I'll take it to...

Once out, and assuming the frame is OK, it'll be built up with a 1x10 drivetrain. I have cranks already. I'm thinking of using a clutch mech and trigger shifter so I can avoid chain guards etc. Does anyone have a clutch mech/ trigger shifter to sell?

Also after risers (something like Easton Monkey Lites), wheels (SRAM/ Shimano compatible), short drop callipers and brake levers

How much are you looking for for it?

It's a square taper centaur bb, was using a park tools model, can't remember which. I'll get some pics in the morning

Yes, can you post some pics of them please? What prices are you looking for?

Thanks for the tips. Good to hear about people fixing up and using things rather than chucking them.

More penetrating oil in the bb this evening and a new tool in the post
