  rear wheel needs to be able to take a 9spd sprocket

  Yeah, shimano-compatible freehub, will take a 9-speed cassette

  The more the merrier ...

  Working tomorrow night and going to Birmingham on Tuesday night then to Edinburgh, so London collection or postage would either have to be arranged quickly (for Monday morning) or left till next week, but I could take them with me.

  Rim brakes, stainless spokes, QR.

  I'll dig them out and get a (crappy, probably) picture tomorrow, at which point I'll be able to say whether hubs and rims are black or silver.

  Aye, fixed or geared? If geared I've got an unused set, shimano-compatible with Rigida/Ryde rims. Project that never happened etc etc - I guess £45 collected from SE7, or could post

  Ad Astra last night. It could have been a really, really good 18 minute short.

  Where in London is it?

  I'm not sure, but something seems to tell me that there's a chance it might be in Sunbury-on-Thames ...

  If that^^ falls through I'd be happy to take them ...

• Home contents insurance advice

  I'd speak to Pedalcover - good, personal service at quotation and renewal, realistic approach to bikes and possessions outside the home, and £200 cheaper than our previous insurer. No claims experience, mind.

• Steel fork 1" - cheap/beater

  in Wanted Adverts • 3 months, 2 weeks

  

  Aye, steerer length would help. Have one in black (700c) that might suit providing you don't want it for too big a frame.

• Wheelbuilding jig to borrow

  in Wanted Adverts • 3 months, 2 weeks

  

  SE7 any use (it's quite a heavy one ...)?

  Might be better asking in the Open Toolbox thread in Mechanics and Fixing

• Wheelset for hybrid/town bike, 700c, rim brake, 7spd.

  in Wanted Adverts • 6 months, 3 weeks

  

  Mine take a cassette - think they're for 8/9 speed, so work fine with 7 speed, but you need a spacer. I'll need to fish them out of the cellar to take pics but as I say they're new and unused.

  Hubs are no-name and probably fairly basic, take a QR, and seem reasonable: as I say, rims are Rigida Flyer - some more details at https://www.freemanscycles.co.uk/ryde-ri­gida-flyer-racer-aluminium-700c-road-rim­.html. Can't remember whether they're black or silver until I dig them out ...
