Saddlebag and both forks sold pending payment.

Pm replied nielsen and yes the tri bars are for standard bars not overize thecball.

non intentional bump, I'll be driving to london on thursday if anyone wants to collect from ealing between thursday and monday I can bring the bits with me.

PMs replied to, all 3 frames are provisionally sold.

Cool man, drop me a pm when you want to head over.

Thanks man, I'm not sure on the age of the craven. I'd hazard a guess at 80's

Couple of frames for sale. I'm in Manchester so Postage per frame is £20, but I'll be in London from Thurs 17th-Sun 20th April if you'd like to collect from Ealing I'll hapilly bring them down with me.

First up is a gorgeous Scott addict RD2 frame, this tips the scales at 800g! Kidded myself it would fit me but it's too small. It's a 54cm and the seat post is trimmed to 12cm and the ritchey seat topper makes it 16cm max. Includes a Dura ace 7800 BB pressed in and a ritchey WCS headset and seatpost topper. Carbon everything, excellent condition, just a bit of cable rub.
£225

Scott speedster S30 alloy frame and carbon forks, L 56cm, from when the speedsters looked pretty decent. There's a fair bit of bubbling in the paint on the underside of the downtube and a few scrapes from a winters commuting. £65

A tiny 52cm Craven reynolds 531 frame and forks, built by Rob Craven, I worked with him for a while, great guy. Built to take 27 inch wheels but would work with deep drop brakes and 700c wheels. Brev Campagnolo dropouts, Perfect for the lady or small man in your life £50

Hi Joe, its' now in use on my cannondale, sorry.

@Ollie, it's a 56cm

@Howard, the boat anchor unfortunately, looks good, weighs the earth

@freezing, thanks for that man, it's really helpful, gonna soak it with gt85 for a few days first too.

@tdm, not sure on the weight as I don't have any scales but i reckon with lighter forks it'd be fairly close to my planet x carbon with the same components!

@Russmeyer, I need a wet look black wcs stem I reckon, would like to slam it too but I'm unsure on stem position as I've not ridden it yet. Look forward to seeing yours!

So I finally bought myself the frame I'd always lusted after when I first got into cycling. On arrival it was in fairly decent nick but the guy who sold it to me failed to mention the downtube bottle cage mount was loose but I'll let him off as he left the carbon campy record headset in. There is also some bubbling to the paintwork but I guess it's to be expected of an alloy frame this age.

The bikes built on a Dura ace 7800 groupset, Ultegra wheels and mostly ritchey components (unsure about the red stem but it was mad cheap) except the bars which are carbon FSA. Will probably need some tweaks and it's hardly period parts for the frame but I think it looks decent.

Stuck bottle cage bolt and loose thread, any suggestions?

Tomorrow should be fun.

"feels like the rack has definitely made other motorists kinder to me"

Make of this what you will.

Thanks man.

Thread updated and a few more bits:

Miche Pistard WR tubular front track wheel with hutchinson comp tub, never used by me, think the previous owner used a brake so theres some paint rubbed off the rim, true as owt and bearings perfect £45

Selle italia x1 saddle £12

Subscribed. Waiting on delivery of a (admittedly not as old) Caad 7 frameset to do something similar.

Can I ask what you're doing about downtube cable stop mounts? Noticed they're not on the frame in the pics? I'm having problems myself trying to source some for another frame.

what model is the 105 rear brake man?

Now sold, thanks for the interest everyone.

and thanks scilly, I'll go investigate now.

Pm's replied to. Got it off some guy in Manchester Tom, in his garage was wiggins' old track frame with a ghibli disc and hed trispoke and he wasn't even using it!

any news on whether there'll be another course running?

And it takes either a 26.8 or 27.0 seatpost, don't have the means to check at the moment. The post it came with was a 26.4 wedged in with tape :/ and a 27.2 doesn't fit.

knew I'd forgotten something, the guy I bought it from said it was a 57, my measurements throw up the following:

centre bb to top of top tube-58.5
effective top tube-57
headtube-18

Picked this up on a whim but I'm off the bike at the moment, it's a bit big and I'm skint so it has to go.

58cm Eddie Mcgrath Reynolds 531 competition frame and forks with sweet 90's fadez. One owner previous to me, he had it built by Eddie Mcgrath cycles (obviously) in Urmston, Manchester and only ever rode it inside at Manchester Velodrome. Few scuffs as you'd expect of a 15 year old frame the worst from having had the chain hung on the seatstay, but there are no dings or dents.

Neither frame or forks are drilled for brakes and decals aren't under lacquer so could be easily removed if you chose.

Includes a miche headset which is pretty smooth but probably needs a regrease and seatclamp bolt.

SOLD SOLD SOLD
