We don't all get trade discounts :p

They seem to have gone all MASH on us

Pop around to my useless LBS (mostly bso mtb's, if you knew the area, you'd understand) with my raleigh to ask about getting a bb out - I didn't have the right tools. One of those adjustable jobby with pin wrench holes, lockring and flats on the fixed side.
'' Naa mate, we don't have those tools, if we did, it's probably seized, it'll cost £30 ''

Challenge accepted!

Hammer and punch to knock the lockring off, easy, fixed side came out nicely with my headset spanner - Fit perfectly, adjustable was seized, and I had no pin spanner, so I soaked it in a mixture of gt85 and motor oil - Then used sheldon's DIY bolt method for the fixed cup in reverse + Socket set and extension bar and some force. Sweet as.

Challenge complete

I've used those kalloy posts, they're ok but not quite as 'micro' adjustable as they say. No worse than old campag though – just worse looking.

I bought a cheapy raleigh 'micro-adjust' seatpost from ebay for my beater and the adjustment goes from too far forward to too far back - Theres no way to get it horizontal . /buy cheap buy twice

Got a 52cm for sale here - Might be a bit big. Lots of pics and details in link

Fun with a lady all night seems more fun :)

ah well,

GONE

Just took the trashed cup-cone kajita bb out of my road 'project,' suprised to find it had a dura-ace BB plastic sleeve in it, you know that thing that keeps the water out - Stamped Dura Ace, Shimano Industries. No photo because it's not worth the effort to break the camera out.

Anyone got a use for it?

£1.50 paypal gift to cover P+P (item in birmingham)

edit: title maybe a little misleading, this is not a whole bb - Just the plastic sleeve /disclaimer

I'll be there for the film definately - ride weather dependant

/cop out

@ neil - Unfortunately, pasipanopane is correct, wikipedia tells me they are now defunct - So i'd be unlikely to find cleats for them. Shame though they would have been great otherwise.

Anyone know where to get ones wide enough for brake cables?

Fixed? Road?

700? 26''? 27''?

^ gone

Very tidy! Can I haz a go plz..!

Were you interested in it? You can have a test spin this week if you want. Will need to bring some pedals though.

@ Neil - They sound perfect if you can dig them out

^ that. Could bodge for a try if it's gonna be a winter hack, but in the long run it would be worth getting it sorted properly - It's a really nice frame - Sure it's not a dawes (galaxy, super galaxy or horizon?) It's got a full complement of braze-ons would suggest proper tourer, and some dawes had internal cable routing

^ ahead convertor dibbed by jaz unfortunately

• potentially - What bcd are your cranks? I've got a 54 tooth in 144
  

no reflectoporn? son i am dissapoint

@ EMM - Sounds good! I don't mind recovering it if needs be - what do you want for it?
@ Sprintking - Might hold out for something a little cheaper first - Will consider it though

All paid for item's posted - Thread updated

yep di2 + the tt button shifters would look stealthy as f...

interested in just the front... would that go for £40?

Yep - Gonna wait a few days first to see if in anyone is interested in them as a set though

would you be willing to split the wheelset?

Would rather sell as a whole ideally, You interested in front or rear?
