The problem is probably persuading someone to package it up properly; it takes bloody ages, and it can be tricky getting hold of a box depending on where you live.

I think its a steal at this price, too big for me though.
I emailed this morning. Only issue is the headtube is cracked, and the seat tube cluster / clamp is mangled in some way. Not sure if it's repairable though.

Computer integrated stem? Really? Never ever seen these.
Computer integrated stems begin and end with the Raleigh Wildcat.

Oh crap. Does shouting dibs on something count as saying that you'll buy it? I may have cocked up the order of who's first on the saddle as I was just looking at PM's.
I also have this spare Selle Royal Mach saddle. Ergonomic, made in Italy. £5.
-
Suntour 2-prong freewheel tool. Used once, but has signs of wear. £3 or swap for Regina model.
Bell. Small and unused. £1.
Cinelli Campione Del Mondo 66-40. Bit of tape residue and some scratching, but stem area is decent. I thought CDMs were deeper; they may have been shortened by an inch or so. £8.
Italia Ti saddle. Taken from Gazelle Lo-Pro. Good condition. £7.
Collection from Hackney Road prefered, or Old Street, White City, or somewhere on my commute to and from work between Hackney and White City.
Cheers,
Roddy

I had one, but sold it due to a faulty BB / seat tube joint. That hanger is Aluminium. Personally, I'd avoid, or buy one in good nick. It's not like working with steel.
Other than that, I suppose you could also run it single-speed or hub-gear. If the hanger did bend back (I'm surprised it didn't just snap), then you'd be at constant risk of it snapping, though it's not a load-bearing mount.

thanks rodabod,
how do I edit/delete a previous post? haha what a novice...If you are logged in, there is a small "edit" link in grey at the bottom of your post.

Ben, I'd hide that email address to avoid spam, or replace the @ character with "at", etc.

Dibs Concor.

7 speed would be even better, just assumed there wouldn't be many of them around.
FWIW, 7 and 8-speed have the same cable pull per stop, as Campagnolo kept the same 5mm sprocket spacing when they moved from 7-speed to 8-speed. Shimano 7-speed cassettes (and all other 7-speeds bar Suntour's compact-7) are the same spacing too.
-
Let me know if you'd be interested in these which I just bought at the same price plus shipping (which are surplus to requirements) :

They are as new, to the point where a lot of people would probably sell as new-old-stock.
-
As the title suggests. I've only used the Suntour tool once, though it does have signs of wear as these things are always excruciatingly tight.
Meet in East London, The City, Or West around Shepherds Bush-ish.
-
As a general rule, I'd stick with dual-pivot calipers. Shimano and Campag are all good, and Tektro can be good on a budget.
-
[creepy]Don't forget to fit an upskirt cam, yeah?[/creepy]
-
Looks like Chorus judging by cranks, brakes, etc. though the later Athena became the earlier Chorus parts in some instances. You could grab a Campag clamp and buy a braze-on version if need be. Or get a new Veloce for £10ish (they work as well as front mechs do).
-
Thoughts?
Maybe see if they'd take £250 inc. postage. Pay with Paypal to get some sort of cover in case it goes wrong at all.
Bikes shown look nice, but I'd prefer a better front caliper than that.
-
New bikes are a lot less hassle, and I've generally found Evans to be pretty good, at least the Bishopsgate store anyway. I'd take that bike over a beater any day. It probably flies too (not literally).

I think model RD1051 is the one you're looking for like this:
If nobody else here has one spare, I may know someone who does.
