I'm pretty sure this pomp had i buy it now of 199 before someone bid, seemed cheap to me. Might be worth contacting the seller if you're after one.

Thinking about getting rid of this,
Its a Cougar frame in Reynolds 531 designer select (or somthing that sounds like that, i cant remember). Frame come with mudguard eyelets and mounts for a rear rack. The paint was rough when I got it so I had it powder coated on the cheap. Its a pretty good job but there are no a few scratches on it.
Its built up with a new stronglight a9 headset and a shimano un55 bottom bracket.
Groupset is almost entirely Shimano RX100, excluding the shifters which are ultegra 600. Wheels are rx100 hubs with mavic cxp10 rims.
Stem and bars by 3t, no name seatpost, saddle either a spoon of a brown brook b17 narrow.
Any idea how much this is worth, i'd like to keep it but I haven't ridden it since building another bike up.

Sterling effort! I have a cougar just like this one, great commuter with rack mounts etc.
-
Its a 56cm, I'm 6 foot tall, I'm really pleased with it.
And here is nearly finished
And with the rest of the fleet

Sputnik, as you already identified. Hefty, but you can't be bothered about that if you're using hub brakes.
Nope, weight of the bike components are orders of magnitude smaller than the weight of myself.
^^ Hmm, I think the polishing adds quite a bit of cost. Even the Halo ones are £40 a pop.
Right then looks like i'll have to give up on shinyness. Sputniks it is.

Looking for a frame for a Portuer project. I think ill be after something like a 58cm although I'm not entirely sure if I should be making adjustments for the different seating position. Advice is welcomed.
Will need it posting as not in london.
Other Portuer bits will be required so if you have any of them let me know.

H Plus TB14's match your description and are all the rage these days.
The Velo-Orange PBP / Raid rims are another option.
Both look like what i'm after, but what's the cheap man's option?
-
Looking to build another set of wheels around a set of sturmey archer hub braked hubs. Aesthetically I'd like a shiny, quite square section rim. I was going to go for a pair of rigida chrinas or maybe sputniks, unless anyone can point me in the direction of something more suitable.
-
id still be very keen for them at that price. having a quick look using something like collect+ should bring the price under 10 pounds. I'm happy to cover paypal fees as well.
-
Interested in the hubs, how do they attach to a frame? Are special fittings required? Last question: could you post? If you can dibs.
-
If you can be bothered posting I'd take the itm post.
-
I've had success with flushing it with degreaser and then flooding the unit with a spray on grease. Might be worth a try, It didnt work on another of mine though.
-
what you after for the shifters? posted.
-
So much less than your asking that i wouldnt insult you by offering it.
-
I'd be very interested in it all but I can't afford it. Can I register my interest in the shifters please.
-
if pending fails, drop me a pm and ill have the other one. will be need posting if you can be bothered
-
Hah. Thought it looked a bit odd. Good spot. Was about to pull one out of the spares box to compare. Glad it's sorted.
It became clear when i started taking the plastic covering from the drive side cup out and realised it looked very similar to what was on there already
Borrowed mallet from work today, looking forward to giving it a good bashing. Make it think twice about making me look a cock on the interwebz...
-
SOLVED. Feel a bit of a dick. That black bit on the axle is must be part of the previous bottom bracket that was on there. I nought the cranks 2nd hand so didn't know it wasn't meant to be there.
-
The bb is correct, looks like it is just getting stuck on that step at 7mm.
Disassembled from the frame is it possible to slip the DS crank+axle flush up against the bb?
no, i cant get it on past the step where axle joins the crank. i'm not supposed to remove a cover or anything from the DS cup am I?
-
what i meant was "am i using the correct bb?" its an error in installation.
-
ive had a quick bash (with a normal hammer and big book) doesn't seem to be making any difference, might wait till tomorrow until i have a rubber mallet.
Is there definitely only only gxp bottom bracket then?
