Getting hold of a second wheelset for some fixed gear TT action and don't want to have to reglue my track tubulars every time I get a puncture. Budget is probably up to around 400 for a decent set but depends on what you got. London based.

Time to recoup some of the costs of my recent extravagances... Exchange of goods will potentially have to wait until after lockdown unless it can be incorporated into my mandated hour a day but thought I'd start advertising now.

Hope RX4 Shimano Front Caliper - £50. Comes in box with all required hydraulic fittings, brake blocks and a set of used pads with life left. Beautiful part in excellent condition.

Pair of Shimano RS805 Calipers - SOLD. In great condition with some small scratches (see photos). Ridding for a year or so and work very well. Come with a set of used pads with life left and for an extra tenner will throw in a set of new spare pads.

Pair of original 35mm Schwalbe G Ones (non-tubeless) - SOLD. Not many miles on these, rear has a bit more wear than the front but loads of life left. See pics for tread details.~

52/36 Ultegra 6800 Crankset 175mm - SOLD. In very good condition with hardly any pedal rub and a few small scratches. Pretty much only ridden in the dry for a few thousand km.

What it says in the title, ideally in London.

Are the wheels clinchers and what hub spacing? Where's collection from?

https://henrycourse.com/2018/04/04/the-start-of-something-beautiful/ - SKS Chromeos on a 2012 cdf with pics if that's any use. Edit: Basically lightly bent the stays and used some spacers, works great front and rear.

As described, in good condition. Collection from SE5/Aldgate.

~£8~ - SOLD

They were a good find. They're planet x ones from a few years ago I think but don't have any of the branding on which is nice.

Yeah didn't realise how chonk they are. Wanted the C13 as I guess they're quite a bit lighter(?) but the credit card said pls no.

So I picked up what I think is a 2015 Condor Lavoro on ebay a few months ago and have been building it up in to a new track weapon, including refinishing all the paint and slowly accumulating second hand parts from across the internet.

I don't have a good before pic but when I took possession, the f&f were solid if quite scratched. I decided that I wanted to get the frame powdercoated and also that I was going to have a go at refinishing the fork. I went to Maldon powdercoating to get the work done and managed to turn it in to quite a nice morning out, at least once I was past Romford https://www.strava.com/activities/2706981244. They did a great job with the powder coat and the clear coat came out pretty well (I've had to cover some spots that were missed but the overall job was very good and probably would have been flawless if I'd not been difficult and asked for decals that can't be put under powder clear) and I would recommend them if you're London based and don't mind the journey.

The fork was rubbed down to remove scratches before being cleared with 1k spray can clear (painted out of an open window and left to dry in the bathroom, sorry flatmates), flatted, cleared again and polished. Given that I'm not a great sprayer, had quite limited materials and I was painting in very suboptimal conditions, I was really happy with the result. It's glassy and I managed to avoid getting any runs.

Having realised I was going to go seriously over budget anyway, now seemed like a good time to get hold of a Sugino Super Zen and by chance there was a 54T for sale in South London. Perfect in combination with some black omnis that I took off another bike and polished up (once you've bought some polish it's tricky avoiding the urge to polish everything in sight). I wanted clinchers but the wheels were an ebay bargain and seem super fast so I can't complain. I went for a Cambium C15 all weather which is heavy but actually really comfy on the track. The bars were the only component I bought new as I just couldn't find any secondhand in 38cm but they're cheap, stiff and are aesth.

Rode out for the first time a few weeks ago and it feels fast and looks pretty cool. I need to get a 10mm cone spacer for the headset to reduce the stack height but other than that I think it's gone pretty well.

oops, shameless x-post inbound. soz.

Latest build thanks for the chainring from @stickinsect

bangs table SOLD.

Price drop, 220

I have three (yep, always measure before you get rid of the old part 🙃 ) IS52 headset bearings that have been installed and removed but are otherwise brand new. Collection from SE5 or Aldgate.

MH-P16S 45x45 - £10
MH-P16H8 45x45 - £6
TH MR172 36x45 - £6

All quite a bit cheaper than you can get online and perfect if you need to service your headset.

Yes, PM for deets

Lovely frameset and just had some nearly new cranks installed. Wheels have seen a lot of use but all the bearings are good and could either be turned in to a great track bike or fixie commuter (fork takes a brake). Sadly too small for me. Asking 220 inc. saddle.

Collection from SE5.

@stickinsect all round good trade, thanks.

Sorry, missed this! They look identical to these except for 7x9. https://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;product=176434;menu=1000,4,9;page=28
