oh, size please too

Hi, is this still available? Could I come and take a look tomorrow at some time?

Sorry, they went on ebay..

They're not going to revolutionise your bike, but perfect for a mid-range vintage build.

Maillard hubs (solid axles)
Weinmann rims
New (3 months old) Sunrace 5 speed screw-on freewheel
Schwalbe Marathon 32-630 tyres - bulletproof commuting fare

Both wheels have had hubs overhauled with new grease within the last six months and are true.

£50 for the pair, can deliver locally for free or will post for £10.

Hi,

Would love these - can collect tomorrow on my way to/from work.

PM'ed

Where are you? I have four wheels, or could you post?

wheels still available? Very interested, can collect tomorrow?

oh gawd, hadn't even noticed them! The bits are all from a genesis croix de fer (apart from saddle and pedals). I'm taking them off as we speak.

screw on hub? are they 700c? I could pick up this evening, potentially.

Weird build in what sense?

Just to let everyone know - the bike was built within the timescale and is fantastic!

Don't go internal cabling, especially with disc brakes, who know you want to run a full hydraulic disc in the near future.

Very good point, I hadn't thought of that. Also, with discs no need for a top tube cable run?

More like standard london conditions, perhaps! Who knows. I don't remember what happened with the first one because I woke up in an ambulance, but by all accounts it was a taxi driver stopping suddenly (on the zigzags of a zebra crossing) with an uncertain passenger, possibly with a bit of cycling too close thrown into the mix... The second one, well I've already explained!

Anyway, lessons learnt, teeth mended, etc.

Internal cabling seems a bit redundant on a touring bike, which will be covered in gubbins anyway and be a right ballache to work on if something needs replacing mid-tour.

This is true. Although it's main (ongoing) function is probably going to be less touring-y. And the france trip is more of a holiday than a serious trek!

We shall see... I have a friend who is adamant that I should have it...!

re. turnaround time, I'm going to see him in a couple of weeks to get measured up and I'm provisionally booked in for his July slot, he said it should be about three weeks or so..although I will absolutely confirm before anything happens!

A few months ago I got a new bike on the cycle to work scheme. I wanted a steel frame with disc brakes. I went for the Jamis Bosanova for it's combination of price and good (tiagra) components.

As luck would have it, a few weeks after I got it I was involved in a nasty accident and it was written off. Luckily I was insured, and the insurance company, in their infinite generosity, gave me a Genesis Croix de Fer as a replacement. A lovely bike, and an upgrade in terms of steel.

And then...a few weeks after receiving this, some asshole cut me up passing a stopped bus and then stopped in front of me to shout at me. Don't ask. And in bumping into the back of his car, I have damaged the frame of the Croix. I'm pursuing his insurance company and should be on track for a full payout.

Anyway, to cut to the chase, I'm now looking at using the payout from this to invest in a hand-built frame, and then use the components from the Croix to build it back up.

I'm (almost certainly) going with www.svencycles.com, as I like the look of their stuff and was impressed that they won 'best touring bike in show' at the recent bespoked event at the Velodrome.

Does anyone have any thoughts/advice? I'm thinking a lugged 725 frame with enough clearance for mudguards and all the requisite holes for rack etc., also going for internal cable routing to keep things sleek.

I'm going on a cycling holiday to France at the end of August, so that's my deadline.

Hi,

I've just bought a Suntour Cyclone groupset on the 'bay, and the rear derailleur is missing its cable clamp bolt.

http://www.disraeligears.co.uk/Site/SunTour_Cyclone_derailleur_%285902_2nd_style%29.html

Anyone got something suitable kicking around? The whole it sits in is round (not the 'chamfered' circle that some have) and about 4.5mm in diameter.

Any help much appreciated!

deda tape still available? - can pick up tomorrow pm in central if suits.

bump - price drop to £15 before I put them on ebay.

ha! likewise, thanks for the heads up. I got these on ebay, the only similar ones on ebay are from america and about £40 inc. shipping, hence the price.

Maybe I'll just try my luck there...! Read some very good things about these though, before deciding to also bin my mafacs (they were seized up anyway from an ebay rescue, not worth the effort...)

Brand new, for a project that didn't work out.

£25, now £15, free postage or collection.

Salmon - Our most famous Salmon compound is also one of our most aggressive compounds for extreme all weather conditions especially in the wet, but still superb in the dry.

These are excellent replacements for vintage Mafac brake shoe holders. Exact fit! No cutting needed

Campagnolo/Mafac/Weinmann
2 Pairs/4 Pads
4 bump style
Brand New, not old stock

Specifications:

Weight per pair: 15.2 grams

Collection from Homerton Road, E9, or Tufnell Park (outside station), or I can drop them off anywhere in between. Or I can post them.

Any chance any of the arabesque bits are still available?

Interested in the rear derailleur and the 27" wheel - is they still available?

After a dawes head badge, preferably the older 'flame' logo type - anyone got one lying around?

Thanks!
