All for collection evenings in Tufnell Park. Please inspect tyres carefully before you ride them! Dibs here, then pm please.

1. Conti 700 x 20 race tyre. Wire bead but very light. Max pressure 150 - a tyre for going very fast over a smooth surface. Old but fair bit of life.

1. No name 26" front wheel. Spins, but rough.
   
   

26 wheel by tomdestry, on Flickr

1. Pair of Conti Avenue Semi-Slicks, 26 x 1.75. Little use but an odd patch where the rubber has worn off the sidewall (see pic). Casing itself is fine, though. Fantastic cruiser tyre, and not heavy considering their girth, but either I got unlucky or they puncture easily...

ESGE wide and Bluemels club special now sold subject to collection.

Cedywedy, the Bluemels Olympics are for 700 wheels.

Original post gone again... Woe.

I'll take the tripod! PM coming...

They're back - thanks, forum people!

Now sold to apolloxl...

Sorry, chaps, but apolloxl did dibs and pm first, and I have to assume he is serious, since he is coming round tonight or tomorrow. Will PM you both if it doesn't happen.

Oh hell... trying to get the original post back.

Tel, I'm sorry but these are such a pain to pack that it's just not worth it for £4. I don't mind keeping them for you, though.

dglshrn, I just confirmed that the ESGE narrows will fit 28c tyres. It's kind of you to offer to post to Tel. But can you collect?

It's 64 cm centre-to-top. Top tube is 58cm, head tube 21.5 cm, so it's a tighter racing frame rather than a more relaxed touring type.

This was a common top size before mass production made it uneconomical to serve the tall minority. I'd say it would be perfect for you. You could try the traditional sizing method: measure your inside leg length, crotch to floor -- the seat tube length you want is somewhere between 65% and 69% of that, depending on riding style and how long your legs are compared to the rest of you.

Five sets of vintage mudguards, all useable with intact tabs and struts but not necessarily bolts (though I could probably rootle them out if pushed).

Collection from Tufnell Park.

Dibs then PM, please.

Bluemels Club Special in white: well, off-white now, but still in good condition, skirt has a small puncture and needs the hot water treatment to shape it up. A classic -- £SOLD

---

[

Bluemels Sovereign in black: top of the range mudguard, though needs a clean and a bit of light rust around the tabs. Nice reflector but skirt broken off -- £4

Bluemels Olympic in pale rose: nice smooth shape, perfect for a porteur, good reflector, never had a skirt -- £6

---

ESGE narrow (up to 28 at a guess) plastic with metallic finish: good quality German made mudguard with good skirt and big square reflector -- £6

---

ESGE wide, plastic with metallic finish: as above, but with circular reflector -- £SOLD

SOLD SOLD SOLD

Bought a year or so ago but never got round to it so time to move it on. No name but probably 531 DB -- weight seems right and takes a 27.2 seatpin, anyway. 124 mm between the rear dropouts. Has been prepped up for conversion by someone handy with the torch -- most braze-ons removed and may be new rear dropouts. Needs a lick of paint to finish it off. No dents or dings and looks straight.

An all round decent frameset at £40 collected from Tufnell Park.

Dibs followed by PM, please.

A pair of Rigida TVM Special Competition Rims in electric blue, 32 holes.

Used but in good condition with plenty of life left. A few light scratches and some superficial rust on the eyelets on the inside of the rim, no cracks, dents or bulges.

I've had these for a while and intended to build them up, then got given a new set. If you have money to burn you can buy a new pair of these in red for $225 on Ebay -- and in fact the seller sold a pair at this price not long ago!

~~£28 ~~ **£24 £20** the pair picked up from Tufnell Park, or £35 **£30 £25** posted.
