Bump for the evening crowd. Well, **crowd **may not be the right word judging by the previous number of replies ;)

Cheers, Gren

Assuming the weather is not too bad I'll be bringing along the following bits.

Unfinished project.
58cm c/t x 57cm c/c - Performance aero aluminium frame.
Steel forks (1"), semi-integrated headset.
Remember there are no tyres on the rims, so the clearances are actually quite tight.
27.2 seatpost and Specialzed BG Comp saddle 143.
Unbranded stem and Specialized o/s bars (incl used blue tape, but not in pics)
All threads good, some marks in paint and small dink in downtube, see detailed pic.
Wheels are ok, low-end stuff, but quite usable.
£80

The Dink:

And another project that never got rolling:
Frame, MBK 58x58mm, 125mm rear. Headset is okay and bars & stem included £35.
No wheels

Feel free to say Dibs if you are a SERIOUS buyer, and then let me have your mobile number so that I can contact the 2nd person in line on the morning in the event of a no show.

See you there (10-12am), Gren

Hi Bower,

I'll be bringing the brolly not the sunblock this time.

Gren

I've sent PMs to everyone. Dibs stand 'till 11:30 then the items go on open sale.

I can't bring the frame frame, sorry, but will have loads of items at £5 including bars, stems tyres etc, etc. "Roll up, roll up, get your bargains 'ere" ;)

I can highly recommed LMNH if you've not been before. Nice bikes in the window (that you can buy) great coffee and cakes, and usually some tasty totty at the tables - too young for me I'm afraid :(

Gren

I'm thinking of bringing these items along to the bike jumble on Sunday, but as it's a journey for me I'd like to see if there is interest before commiting myself.

All the wheels are perfectly true and have sealed bearings which are in great condition.

Charge Dish front, a lovely thing,
£30

Pair of 40mm deep rims with machined brakeing surface
120mm Sealed bearing Novatec style hubs
Rear machined for fixed and freewheel
Chrome axle fittings and nuts

Slight damage to top of fork stem (see pic) but it still clamps up fine.
£85 ono

I've got some 27.2mm Specialized carbon posts with "Zerts", some Shimano R600 brakes, stems and a load of other stuff that I'll bring too.

There were some other good items on tables there last time and some great folks to chat to; so come along have a laugh and grab a bargain.

If you dibs something please message me your mobile number, same for 2nd dids etc, then I can ensure that people don't miss out.

See you there, Gren

DMR do a nice rear hub with sealed bearings that is 135mm and has a 6 bolt disc mount on one side and is threaded for a freewheel on the other. I just happen to have a couple of brand new ones if you are interested ;)

Gren

hbwt - my first time as a seller too, and I should be there about the same time. I'll be the one lugging a pair of very blue wheels and a huge rucksack.

I'm trying to get rid of stuff, so please don't bring anything too tempting, anything Nuovo Record may test my resolve.

Manjana, Gren

Ok thanks for all the replies.

I'm going to be well loaded up, so could bring in the Charge wheel if anyone wants it, but can't manage the frame this week.

arebennian, ALL the wheels are in realy good condition, I've just given up hoarding stuff for a project that never gets started. The blue pair have fixed and freewheel machineing.

I'm thinking of bringing these items along to the bike jumble on Sunday, but as it's a journey for me I'd like to see if there is interest before commiting myself.

All the wheels below have sealed bearings which are in great condition and are perfectly true.

Charge Dish front, a lovely thing, £25

Pair of blue wheels £45.
These appear to have unbranded Novatec hubs - see pics.

Frame, MBK 58x58mm, 125mm rear. Headset is okay and bars & stem included £25.
Front and Rear silver wheels, pair £45 or.
Front has a Quando hub (cup/cone bearings) £20.
Rear has the same hub as the Charge £30

Please let me know if you are interested. Happy to accept dibs for collection by 11:30 on the day - is that fair ?

Cheers, Gren

I'd like the Avids please. PM on it's way.

Thanks, G

They are a good solid set of wheels, if a little weighty depending on your needs !?

Quando hubs appear to have nice alloy, but you can count on the bearings needing a proper clean and lube before use. The ones that I have played with (mostly by axle spinning in shops, but owned a couple of pairs too) have been very gritty inside.

If I were you I'd try for a set of wheels with sealed bearing hubs, which you could probably get for a few quid extra.

Car Hire excess.
You can buy hire car insurance that will cover your excess for about £40 a year.
Sorry this won't help you, but it may do others.

Lovely bike, good luck with the sale.

Def needs blue tyres... and chain..

Look I'm not a bleed'in Smurf you know ;-))

Maybe I could de-anodise the crankset - I believe oven cleaner will do it !?

This is work in progress and I need your advice. I think it's all getting a bit too blue, or is that OK.
The frame is a blue/white fade across each tube, so it's got more white than shows here.

Any other comments appreciated, well it may depend on what they are realy ;-)
Cheers,

I've built my own spreadsheet to do it and I get 277 as well, assuming 32 spokes !?

BUT if it's a disc hub, I can't see the flanges being evenly spaced from the centre which is what the table says for the HB-M756.

It's late, I could have messed up, will have another look manjana.

^ be reasonable; the world would have to be full of low-life/no-life, facebook/waste-of-space-book IDIOTS for that to work !
;-))

Who spits on a saddle ?

Female porn star with a bike fettish - if you'd got back earlier your luck may have been in ;-))

Nah, soz mate I know the rules ;)

Great name, rubbish frame, I think you realise that now ;-)

Everything has it's price, so why not pop it on eBay for a 99p start price and see how it goes ? You can get a box free from your local bike shop and a courier will deliver it for you for about £10 - "simples" !

If you buy bearings PLEASE make sure that they are good quality. Google ABEC and make sure that yours are grade 7 or above, this goes for wheel bearings too.

NIce BB and VFM at that price IMHO !

Please can you post a link to the item on eBay so that we can all learn from it.

You can go through the complaints procedure on eBay, "item not as described".

You can use PayPal to get a charge-back on the money you paid.

I had a similar prob buying a frame that had stripped BB threads; it all turned out ok (for me) in the end. You should be ok, but will have to pay the postage for sending the bike back, that's just how it is.

Good luck and "chin up old chap", Gren

It's actually in the lever system and the end of the inner cable goes through and it and the cable end pulls it.

Here is a link to what I've found, but I don't know if this is the correct name for the item.
http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/shimano-st-7800-7700-cable-hook-unit-prod5342/

Then I want to find them at the best price.

Thanks, Gren
