I was watching these waiting for a bargain (around £100?) - the seller ended early to someone else for £65. (Facepalm)

So I kinda bought the deadly 38’s half out of frustration!

Edit. Sugino pista @ £60

Build update.

I had a seatpost and bottle cage kicking about despite annoyingly donating my parts box to a charity not long ago.

@Foreigner65 hooked me up with a saddle and some pedals which aren’t on yet as I have no cranks.

The full beater build kinda went out the window when I accidentally bought some Tokyo fixed carbon rimmed wheels - but they were really good value so I’m at peace with it.

Not sure if I’m gonna go modern/retro beater with the cockpit. Drops, risers or bullhorns I’m still unsure.

Looking for a tatty but good chainset. Hard when you can pick up sugino messengers for £70

Can’t decide on silver or black (or maybe silver with black chainring?)

Anyway. Here’s how it’s going.

Also beats by Dre wired headphones. Cosmetically not great - but dirty and leather is deteriorating but they work perfectly. Great for turbo sessions

Really I’m looking to trade. I’m I. Bristol so I’d cover postage your way, if you’ll do the same for me.

I’m after a quill stem - 100mm(ish) silver preferably but will consider black.

A saddle - inoffensive. Preferably black.

Pedals (anything you can attach cages and straps to)

Cages

Straps

I’m not fussed about looks - so long as they’re functional.

I have available to trade

• seatpost - unbranded, silver, 27.2
  
• Deda quill to ahead adapter
  
• Cheap alloy aero bars - slight flare, 41cm C-C @ the drops, 38cm at the hoods
  
• Black and white striped ‘neon’ foam bar tape (the white is glow in the dark.)
  

2 good books for geeking out.

I don’t (can’t) go fast enough to warrant holding onto these.

Yours for the cost of postage (£5?)

Are these still relevant or am I a dinosaur?

The hilarity of the alloy ‘Kabon’ bars did not escape me.

If anyone wants some aero alloy bars FOC then HMU

Okay. Long time forum member. Mainly a classifieds lurker (best to be honest.) Not even a Londoner any more. Never done a build thread.

I rescued this beauty from the tip yesterday.

It’s my size (55/55) it’s 2004, has brake mounts and mudguard eyelets so will make a fine winter hack. (Although in my head maybe one day it’ll get a full respray)

The seatpost actually came out with just a bit of muscle (and I don’t even really have muscles)

The bottom bracket was not giving an inch so I have taken it to Argos (now I’m back in Bristol.)

Needs the forks tracking, and they’ll get the BB out for me. Also supply a new seatclamp bolt.

Currently on about £100-£120 depending on how much of a pain the BB is to remove.

I’m back in london on a contract next year for a couple of days a week for a few months so will likely build it up ratty as I’ll be leaving it locked up for days on end.

Now for sale elsewhere. Please delete

Also a condor track bike - really decent price IMO but ending very soon…

Cannondale track badly listed.

Please someone else buy them

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at this and had to stop myself DMing you. Such lovely wheels

Bit of a fun wheelbag from the pimpest wheel brand.

Takes 2 of your finest wheels, with a separating partition in the middle.

Very good overall condition. Nothing to note.

There’s no small bag for bits, which normally accompany this.

How does £35 posted sound? (I can’t post until June 21st)

I’m just over 5’10”

Okay, mistake - this is a medium size frame (54.3cm top tube)

Stem is 120mm

Seatpost is oversized

Cranks are 165 with a 48 ring

Pedals are keos but have seen better days so ignore them but they will be included.

Price drop to £

Not really looking to post myself but I’ll box it up if you want to organise shipping.

I am looking to sell though so if no interest it’ll go to the bay/Facebook marketplace.

If split
Frame £
Chainset and BB £
Wheelset inc tyres and cog £
Seatpost £30
Stem £30
Saddle £30
Bars (giant slr I think?)/ Tektro levers/Veloce front brake £30

I’ve had an enquirer about the frame set. If that goes then I’m happy to part out the rest

Pretty sure it’s steel

Xx

Thanks man.

I love it as a road bike but not like this! 28s and the steel make for such a comfortable ride, but it’s still spritely!

I also only gold chain. Hip Hop slave for life.

That’s a very generous offer of you but I have actually since won some wom on eBay - so will likely use it (or not) and then sell up afterwards.

Current bastardisation level =
Ism saddle
Skis
Shit seatpost with less setback than my norm

Further bastardisation to include weird seatpost to bring me further forward.
