Usual eBay hyperbole nonsense: "almost mint" and "barely used" etc.
"One half of the top cross strap clasp is missing" (No photo showing this, of course...)
Probably worth sending them an offer for £120 / £130.
I have two already so don't need another.

Looking for a front rack that’ll fit a Genesis Croix de Fer and some Ortlieb Sport Roller bags. Something like the attached photos (Nitto 34F) . I have zero experience with these types of front racks. Aside from this Nitto one, what are some other brands I should look at, please?
Also, are there any rear racks which offer greater heel clearance? I have giant feet.

Thanks for all the replies and info. Useful tips.
Also, a question about Bilt Hamber, either S50 or UB/UC:
Is it included in any long-term comparison tests vs other products? All I can find online is people in forums and on YouTube saying it works, but then ACF-50 has many people saying it works too, but performed poorly in the Bennetts test.So unless I can see some evidence that BH products are better than XCP Rust Blocker, I might go with that.

Does anyone have a code for Merlin, or know of any general / first order type codes they have? Want to buy a few tyres but would be nice to get them for a bit less than £80.

Have some 531, 653, and 725 frames that I would like to protect.
Has anyone tried this stuff in their frame and fork?
Watching some YouTube comparisons this seems to be one of the best:

https://www.silmid.com/coatings/corrosion-preventatives/Ardrox-AV8-Corrosion-Preventative-in-various-sizes/These also look interesting and seem to have excellent reviews. I guess the S50 or UB would be fine for inside a bike frame (UC is clear, but it's not going to be seen anyway, inside the frame):

https://bilthamber.com/product/dynax-uc/Also, sorry if this is stupid, but should I remove the headset and BB when applying something like this to the inside of the frame and fork, so it's the bare frame with nothing installed? Or just the BB? And if it is applied to the frame without anything installed, what do you need to do to the BB threads and headtube before greasing them, once the products above are applied? Just put the grease on top? I am guessing that won't work.

You mean another 35? Even with the current Kenda 35s and the SKS mudguards there’s still a bit of rubbing. It’s very tight. I’ll try the 38mm Vredestein Aventura (none of the reviews I read had anything bad to say about them), and then some new guards to fit them. Agree that it’ll be nice to see the difference with how they feel. I’ll try the Kendas until the Vredesteins arrive.

Oh yep. Didn’t see those before. Would be nice in a silver colour but black is ok too. I wonder if the section that goes between the chainstays will fit in my frame. If so then they could be a good option.
Looking for either, or both, of these:
Please message me if you have either, in good condition with no damage.
Not looking for anything similar, only these.
Thanks.
