Hi,

Would you post to Bristol? If so, how much?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm after the following bits:

Saddle - yellow Concor/Rolls/Supercorsa or similar, new preferably (yellow vintage style saddles seem to be sold out everywhere!)

Nitto b123 or similar track bars - new or decent condition £40 max budget

Based in bristol!

PM's preferred if anyone has something to offer me

I've just had success at removing rust with a dremel multi-tool style thing, see dodgy photo.

It has an attachment with a circular steel brush. I was aprehensive about using it so tested it on an area out of sight on the frame. It worked a treat though, removing the rust with little effort and taking hardly any of the paint (apart from the paint where rust had got underneath).

After getting rid of the rust I used a soft cloth attachment to buff the exposed metal to get rid of any dust or bits of wire from the brush.

Hamerite has gone on well, so hopefully that's a successful fix until I get the frame resprayed!

Varno's wheels look amazing on my fresh build! First ride (around the flat - no chain yet) and the spokes are making a few pinging noises, that's ok right? Heard that spokes can do that for the first few miles, but never had brand new wheels myself...

Anybody home? Would love to come and grab seatpost number 47 from wherever you are in Bristol please.

DIBS!

(47) KALLOY FLUTED SEATPOST 26.8mm 175mm rails to limit mark ** NEW AND UNUSED** £12

dibs (46) RITO AERO SEATPOST 26.8mm 170mm rails to limit mark virtually new £17, PM'd a few days ago but no reply. Where in Bristol are you? Can I come and collect please?

Cheers 36, some alright aheads on there. why oh why does the lovely nitto cost so much! better get saving...

that's not what I wanted to hear! Ahead stems are so ugly. Oh well, guess I'll have to find the least ugly one.

so I've just got the frame in the post. The fork steerer is really long, and sticks out of the head tube by a couple inches, perfect for an Ahead stem. What do I do about that if I want to fit a quill? A threaded headset would take up an inch maybe, but not a couple right? wrong?

Forgive me for being a noob!

thanks, i did think that initially but passed it off as me not knowing enough! will wait until I get the frame and read Sheldon in the mean time. thanks!

Hi

I'm awaiting delivery of a 2nd hand bob jackson vigorelli, 2 years old. The guy i got it off said he was using a 1 1/8th stem. I've been trying to find a nice 1 1/8th quill stem (old style, cinelli type) but can't seem to find anything other than really chunky MTB style things with industrial bolts everywhere. Am I being a complete noob or what?

The headset (shimano 1 inch, not sure what type yet) is a bit rough apparently so looking to replace that too, if that makes any difference.

Some tips on this would be appreciated by a novice like myself!

Anyone with a decent saddle can give me a shout too please!

dibs on the token pedals if you'll post to bristol...?

i'll take the brakes too

second dibs if the deal falls through!

sorry, meant the D-lock, will edit the post now!

I need a few bits to finish off a build:

Silver crank bolts to fit Sugino RD2 crankset

Cork bar plugs

Kryptonite mini d-lock Fahgettaboudit, any condition as long as it works and has original keys

Give me a shout if you can help!

Thanks

What do you mean by different spacers? I'm a bit of a build novice I'm afraid!

I had considered the out n about changing scenario. As long as I've got company to help it should be possible!

Hadn't considered the thieving little bastards scenario tho. Although I don't plan on leaving it locked up anywhere out of sight unless absolutely unavoidable. But then again, I bet we all say that don't we...

Dibs'd!
