Intereted in f+f+bb+headset - price?

Dibs shimano brakes. Pming shortly

Dibs 2. Shimano 1050 single pivot, no blocks please Tel - will pm

Awesome. My mum had one of these - in 1949! Rode all over England on it. I'd get it for her if she lived somewhere flatter.

I have one packed away somewhere - will find and take a pic later.

I have loads of power/usb/ethernet cables, cd drives, modems etc I want rid of - lemme know if you need anything further. Ditto if anyone else wants anything. Big box of stuff to rummage through....

Jark - Stronglight cranks have been dibsed via PM (gah!) sorry.
H+Son rim also dibsed via same method. What's with these upsets to the natural order of the universe?!
Items still undibsed/bought are:
Stem
Black risers
Skate shoes
Guitar pedal.

jaypark, fraid the pedals have been dibsed, but if that falls through, you're next in line

Fraid piccylawn has dibsed the raceblades - will let you know if it doesnt work out.

Jazzythumper has got 1st dibs on the clips but pedals are fine - and which riser?

Bunch of random things I have no justification for owning. Dibs then PM. Payment in cash or equivalent quantity of cans of German or Polish beer.
I’m in Stoke Newington and would rather have stuff picked up from here or nearby as I am off work for a week getting my shit together and plan to do as little leaving the house as possible - not really time for posting either. I can do anywhere between Stokey and Victoria as of next Weds though.

Campagnolo Nuovo Record Strada crankset and chainrings: crank length 170, chainrings 52, 42 - £35. There are quite a few scuff marks, so it's not for your sunday bike, but the set is sound. SOLD


Stronglight crankset, 170 crank length, 48t – bought off here for £5, installed but didn’t work out with the bb and frame set up, so passing on for £5. SOLD

H+Son rim, 32 hole - £20. I got this as part of a second hand wheelset – this rim was on the front and had been used with a brake, though it does not have a braking surface. I bought a rim with a proper braking surface as a result. This could be resprayed and used as a back wheel though (and I was thinking about it but can’t currently be arsed) – you can feel some wear to the surface, but I don’t think it is at all unsound. SOLD

Rear single speed MTB wheel with 18t sprocket – got on here recently for £10, not going to get round to using it due to “project reprioritisation”, so returning it to the forum for the same price.

Cinelli stem - £18. 140mm, 26.0 clamp. In very good condition bar the plastic cap covering the bolt, which has a crack, but it still stays on fine.

Park Tools BBT4 FAG Bottom Bracket Tool - unused - £5

Mavic pursuit bars – 42cm ctc width, 26mm clamp, internal cable routing holes. Bought on here, project spec changed, never fitted them, returning to forum. £15 SOLD to Piccylawn

Black risers - unused condition, 62cm width, 25.4 diameter - £7

Chopped risers – width 43cm, 25.4 diameter, scratched around clamp and brake lever fitting. - £4

Short shiny metal mudguards - £5 – in decent nick with a few scratches

SKS raceblades – free/can o lager - GONE to Piccylawn

Shiny metal mudguard – free. GONE to Piccylawn

Brooks toe clips - well used - free

MKS pedals, well used but sound - £5

OT stuff
Macbeth Eliot skate shoes, size, new with box, size 8 UK / 42 Europe, worn once, didn’t get on with them as not enough arch support for my liking – £20

Metalzone pedal – £15. This is a well used pedal with a loose connection on one of the controls that could do with resolving, so I wouldn’t use this for gigging, but would be fine for home or rehearsal room stuff.

Amazing! So tempting... Must resist....

Dibs no 1 please!

Nice one! I live in stoke newington and work in victoria so anywhere central or between those locations is cool. Where's good for you?

Anyone got a centre pull calliper cable - 11cm wide?

Is this one still available?
(25) RECORD 9.5cm 1960/70s 25.4mm clamp good/very good £14
Dibs if so.

This bike is still there, and it's getting the shit beaten out of it. I feel like going down there and removing and freecycling the remaining usable components - ethics of idea? I'd rather see them used than just destroyed... Btw the wheelset in the pic has gone as well. Some people will stoop so low.

That frame looks pretty much identical to mine - heart shaped lugs, right? Only thing that is different is the decals and headbadge. Maybe Mr Thornhill failed to involve branding consultants in his design....

Sorry Jambon, lost track of this thread! I got in contact with mercian with some pix of my frame and they said it certainly looked like it was made by them but there was no serial number that would corroborate this for certain. Does yours have a clear frame number?

Teee, if this doesn't fit my peculiar frame, I will let you know.

Dibs! What dropout width is this for?

I'm after a single-speed 26" mtb wheelset, nothing fancy, doesn't have to be in perfect nick as long as hubs are smooth and little or no truing required. Ideally, I'd like to get chromed rims eg an 80s mtb wheelset. Failing a wheelset, a front wheel would suffice for now!
I'm in stoke newington evenings and victoria daytimes so can easily pick up anywhere between or thereabouts.
Ta very much!

In my experience, Hilary is 100% solid when it comes to delivering stuff you buy from him, so I wouldn't call him a bad trader. However, he could perhaps manage the communication side of things a bit better so people know where they are with transactions, but perhaps with the volume of stuff he has on the go it is difficult to keep on top of it all. I guess you have to remember you get kickass stuff from him at a reasonable price, so can't complain too much.

I go past this every day and it makes me sad. I wish the owner would come and take it away and spend some time thinking about using his big ass lock more effectively in future...
