Shimano 9 speed isn't under bar tape shifter cable routing, only 10 speed and up bud.
The later Tiagra 4500 9 speed STIs are better shifting than the first production 105/Ultegra level shifters IME.

start with the grey (scotch brite) pad, finish with the maroon coloured one which is finer. You can even use some 'astonish' paste which is great for very fine rubbing.

Payment been sent on the ergos

Would you do £30 posted on the Ergos?

is the extended bit that goes inside the recess of the cable stop pip too big? if so you can simply file off around the edges until it does.

Bought these for a 7 speed set up that hasn't transpired.
Shimano 600 hubs (rear is HG/UG cassette hybrid) on an Open Pro front & Open SUP rear.
The front braking surface is totally unscathed and has very light use though a mis-aligned brake pad has marked the upper section of the rim below the braking surface itself. This replaced the original Open SUP at some point in its life. The hub runs fairly smoothly but not as silky smooth as I'd like, it probably needs a dollop of proper hub grease as opposed to the bog std stuff I've put in and a better hand, there's no pitting to the bearing faces or damage to the bearings. QR skewer is in very nice cond.

Rear Open Sup has had more use, there isn't much wear however there is a patch approx 3cm in length where the ceramic coating is worn away. There's no cracking or flaking of the ceramic coating around the patch & tbh I really didn't notice this when I got them nor when I fitted and did a test ride so functional wise it's not a big deal, obvs cosmetically you can't miss it. There's also some marks on the upper rim from a misaligned pad.
The hub rolls okay, it's a teeny tiny bit bitty, not grumbling or loose at the axle, i haven't gotten around to cleaning it out so a quick service is all it needs. OLN is 126mm.
Pair of useable but well used Michein Megamium 2 tyres+tubes
I'd accept £130 collected (Letchworth Garden City), £142 with insured courier...

I have a NOS Dura Ace 7800/DT Swiss R1.1 wheelset with new 12-27 10 speed cassette.
32 spoke/3 cross. These are the hubs with the slightly odd freehub that have taller splines so take only the matching Shimano cassettes unless you lathe off the excess. A few bike shops can do this for not much apparently.
They've sat in my spare room for a while now as I had some other wheels built for the bike they were intended for.
No tyres or QR skewers.
I'd accept £180 collected or £192 couriered, the rims alone were over a ton.

Quite rare the 13-18 as that's a straight through for a 6 speed, there's this in Sweden if you fancy trying to try to get the seller to let it go for £20 + post (it's gone unsold twice) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shimano-600-EX-5-speed-13-21-freewheel-NOS-in-box-/271967780727?hash=item3f528aff77

also an Atom 14-20, might need to check threading but it looks barely used.

I had a bunch of NOS 14-21 regina freewheels I gave away for peanuts 4-5 years back, now decent ones are really hard to come by unless you splash the cash.

Got an as new/unmarked carbon wrap off my sons specialized. There are no decals on it, rails are black too.
£20 posted
Or a cut down Campag record carbon with a bit of a squished/scraped bottom right at the base, not cracked and doesn't effect integrity nor whence fitted can you see it. Decals are a bit rubbed though. There's approx 19cm from where the new limit line would be to the rails.

I bought this model for mother at Christmas as a replacement for a bike I'd spent more time maintaining than I care to think about!
http://www.rutlandcycling.com/211955/products/mongoose-crossway-300-hybrid-bike.aspx
Though not female specific the XS is good for 5ft 4 easy, mater is 5ft 1 & still able to swing her leg over the top tube and there's loads of length in the seatpost. Continental tyres, rapid fire 3x8, rack and guards, tbh at the price you can't go wrong. You might want to get a female specific saddle but they aren't the worst saddles.
If you go through topcashback you should get another 3% kickback (I can PM you a cheeky link to sign up that gets me a small kickback too) as well as the £6 off voucher Rutland are offering at the moment.

I managed to find some of these NOS beauties that are on my late 50s Carlton, I love them.
luck hunting!

ignore, too late

Chainrings are not usually that fussed about how many sprockets you have to be honest. I use Stronglight rings from the 70s with 8, 9 and 10 speed set ups.
If you want some bombproof rings I do have a set of shiny Sugino chromed steel compact rings (from a Sugino GT) in 52/42 flavour that have pretty much zero wear. I've run a 6700 chain around them without any problems.
£18 posted the pair.
PM me if interested

Got some Dia Compe 'grande Compe' Hoods are a bit knacked but levers in nice order, top adjusters work spot on.

I've got Ultegra triple set up (STIs/cassette/FD/calipers) with 105 long cage, chainset is Miche Race EVO 50/39/30 with an additional 26 inner plus a new gold KMC X10L chain
Aside from the brake calipers which are in excellent condition everything is as new as it was fitted, set up and the chain has gone around a few times but not actually used on the road

When you say long reach do you mean 57mm, which is properly referred to as standard reach, or 64mm which IS long reach? Side pull or dual dual pivot, front or rear, AK or 10mm nut?
Aero or non aero lever?

Campagnolo never made 'long reach' brake calipers (long reach being around 64mm), standard reach which is 57mm max was available on Triomphe and a couple of other models from the 70s/early 80s but they aren't that common.

I've got one you can have FOC but it'd need posting, hasn't been mounted for years though so unless you're desperate probs not the best option.
just a thought

I've got a pair of mint condition hollowed out SRAM Rival carbon levers, effectively the S900 so there's literally no guts whatsoever, not even a return spring but work fine with any decent set of calipers.
Used sparingly for the last year with DT shifters on a weekend summer bike but have decided to go 1x11, light as anything but even in my gorilla hands offer subtle assured braking feel.

I've got some Mavic Module rims on Maillard helicomatic hubs. I bought these on the CTC forum last year on the premise they were a Sunday best pair that'd done barely 250 miles and had a 130mm OLN plus 8 speed screw on compatible.
Turned out they were none of those things and the skanky twat left me high and dry after I'd forked out almost a ton for what i thought were the perfect wheels for my Carlton.
Intrinsically there's nothing wrong with them but I wasn't after a helo hub and they don't fit the bike they were destined for anyway and have sat in the garage in the box they came in.
It's got a 6 speed freewheel on there, 126mm OLN, there's not that much wear on the rims but certainly a tad more than the minty uber low miles I was hooked in with.
I just want them out my hair so I can forget about the episode completely so would accept £45+ post which is going to be around a tenner or collect from Letchworth Garden City.
If they might be of interest forward an email via PM and I'll dip into the garage and grab some hi res pics and try not to let my thoughts get the better of me.
