Mixer and monitors

Decks

My wife has had this stuff for a long time, she has written the description below. We are sad to sell it but realistically none of it gets used any more, would be good to find it a new home.

Decks are both Technics SL - 1210MK2, with clear perspex covers, slip mats and Shure needles. I’ve owned these decks for 10 years and they have had really light home DJ use and never been moved, never used in a club etc. They are in great condition, but could do with a fresh calibration when you set them up as they haven’t been used for a few years (IVF followed by a baby!).
Weight 12.5kg
Depth 36.07cm
Height 16.26cm
Width 45.31cm

Mixer is Ecler Nuo 2.0, bought new from WestEnd DJ in 2013, very light home use, in great condition. Comes with power cable and phono connection cables for decks.
Dimensions: 370 x 165 x 80 mm
Weight: 3.0 kg

Monitors are 2 x KRK Rokit RP5 G4 White Noise Active Studio Monitors, bought in 2021 for £333 to update my DJ set up and never been used due to having a baby! They come with power cables and bright blue XLR connection cables and also includes BNIB vibration isolation foam pads. The are in brand new condition but have been unpacked, plugged in and tested although never properly used.

Decks SOLD
Mixer SOLD
KRK SOLD

Pictures to follow, I can take more pictures of anything if needed. Happy to consider offers, please do get in touch.

Collection in London NW3, but I could possibly deliver within reason - north of the river / inside the M25 maybe.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Dibs the surly fork please - exactly what I’ve been looking for. Will PM now!

Thanks for all the interest. Kask and Catlike sold.

Catlike and Carnac:

Kask:

I have struggled to find a helmet I am happy with so I have gone through a few different ones over the years. Having a clear out in the hope these might be useful to someone.

Kask Mojito X, medium 52-58cm, black. I really like these helmets, they fit really nicely, around the head rather than on top if that makes sense. I have another one the same, I bought this as a spare but never wore it.
£40

Catlike Whisper Plus, medium 56-58cm, black. A classic euro road helmet, very light, perfect to wear with a 1st generation carbon race bike! Hardly worn, never dropped or crashed. A couple of light marks on the inner shell from storage.
£20

Carnac Aero Road, small / medium 55-59cm, white. A nice early aero helmet, this is maybe 5 years old but has been in a cupboard for most of that time. Very cheap but excellent quality and amazing value. This has a couple of very light scratches on the shell, but has never been dropped or crashed.
£10 (or free with one of the other two)

Pictures to follow.

I am very conscious of the forum rules on selling helmets, so please let me know if there are any issues with this listing or if any more information is required. I am selling these only because they don’t suit me, there is nothing wrong with any of them. The Carnac and Catlike helmets have been used but genuinely only a handful of times each - they are in excellent condition. The Kask has never been worn and is still in original packaging with tags etc.

Happy to consider offers and can negotiate a bundle price if you need more than one of these - get in touch!

Collection in London NW3, but I could meet more central or possibly deliver within reason - north of the river / inside the M25. I would prefer collection if possible, but might consider posting within the UK at additional cost.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Lunar cycles in Kentish Town is very good, not too far from Tufnell Park!

Bars and stem now sold. Seatpost, brake levers and tyre are still available and still free as a job lot otherwise £5 each (except tyre)!

Edit: all sold now!

Thanks very much for checking, I don’t think that will work for me. GLWS.

Hi, I don’t suppose any of those flat bar / MTB shifters are right hand (ie. Rear derailleur) 8 speed?

This is really cool, I want it but sadly have no need, space or money. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks! I used Nitromors again, like I did for the Klein. This time with a brass wire brush drill attachment to get into the awkward spots, which made it much quicker and easier. Still needed a few coats. I am sure there are better paint strippers, but Nitromors is really easy to find, not too horribly toxic, and definitely good enough for a job like this!

This is the bike I built for commuting this winter, to save my Samson from the worst of the weather.

It’s a Specialized Langster - shown before and after. It was very cheap but a bit of a drive to collect it. I stripped the paint and clear coated the frame - I like how it mirrors the Klein with the bare frame and black fork.

The build is fairly unexciting with a new pair of wheels (Halo hubs / Mavic rims) and boring sensible tyres. The thing under the saddle is a mount for a Tacx clip on mudguard, a bit like a more rigid and durable Ass Saver. The old Sugino 75 chainset is a concession to my inner bike snob, and the snazzy bar tape brightens it up a bit!

I am very pleased with it, it’s really light and pretty fast, but looks quite unassuming - which is the whole point!

Yes, still available, I’ve replied to your PM!

Edit: now sold!

The black finish on Deda Piegas isn’t great, but they are very easy to sand and polish if needed - I have done it a couple of times!

I had forgotten about this bike i built for my wife - she wasn’t riding her road bike much so we sold it and did this for short local rides, shopping etc.

The frame is a very small aluminium Orange from from around 2000 I think - my wife is 5ft0. It’s quite a good one, some nice details and really light. The rest of the build is quite cheap but fun. Sorry about the pictures - I will take better ones but you get the idea. Have put on a front rack more recently, works great.

For old MTB rebuilds I am big fan of very wide, very swept klunker-ish bars without the forward bend of a lot of moustache type ones. I find they make steering very slow but really relaxed and cruisy. The dad bike, which I am just finishing today, has the same bars, as did the previous iteration of the Klein.

Thanks! No i haven’t sold the Panasonic, but I did take it apart and the frame is in storage.

I have been riding the Samson most days, but sometimes my steel road bike too. I found myself wanting a less special bike to ride to work in winter. although I do look after the steel bikes quite well, I would prefer not to ride them when it’s often very wet or the roads are salted. I finished the winter bike a few weeks ago but haven’t taken pictures of it yet - will do soon!

I haven’t updated here recently, but have been working on a few bike projects, much hindered by my baby daughter (but she is a great excuse for more bikes, of which more later).

I think my old Klein has evolved to its final form as shown here. Chunky tyres, some nice Salsa flared drop bars and v brake drop bar levers from the forum and a Microshift bar end shifter. Finished it just before it snowed a few weeks ago, I had to ride to work that night with a lot of ice and snow on the road and this worked really well - my skinny tyre bikes would not have been safe. So this is now officially my snow bike, and will also be good for leisurely off road adventures - it’s a bit slow but comfortable and very sure footed.

Other recent projects include aluminium fixie for winter, to avoid completely ruining my Samson, and steel MTB dad bike with child seat - pictures coming soon!

Dibs please, I will PM

I would really like to move this stuff on. If anyone is able to take everything that’s left all together - levers, stem, bars, seatpost and tyre - you can have it all for free.

Otherwise, price drop on individual items. £5 each except tyre which is still free!
