hello!
Finishing off a build and on the look out for a few bits in case anyone has stuff lying around
Porteur bars - Velo Orange or Nitto
Road cranks (will be used single speed) - campag athena / chorus, shimano 105, used is fine!
Flat top levers - silver, used is fine but something good quality
Saddle - Turbo, Rolls or Concor would be great

Yellow beast! :)
I've taken this on 2 tours & love it but due to a knee injury i'm going to be out of action for a while.

FRAME SIZING
TT // 58.5cm
ST (BB to Center) // 58.5cm
ST (BB to top of seat tube) // 61cmFrame has quite a few little scrapes and chips but no dings, just general cosmetic wear and tear which IMO is ideal for touring. 631 tubing & includes all the rack bosses you need for touring. Havn't seen another Donohue like this! The paint is ace.
BUILD/PARTS
→ Dura ace shifters (some scrapes but function great)
→ Fulcrum Racing 5 wheelset (smooth & solid)
→ Thomson stem (great condition)
→ Chris King 1" ahead headset including converter for threaded set up
→ Shimano 105 Crankset, 10spd (few scrapes but all straight and plenty of life in rings)
→ Shimano 105 front brake, Shimano R415 long drop on back to work with frame
→ Think bars are Deda Piega but cant actually remember + barely used fizik tape
→ Super Solid Tubus rack (could be set up flatter, I was rushed)
→ Time 1" carbon fork (some cosmetic damage which has been sharpied over but totally sound and lovely shape)
→ Original steel 1" fork also included (see photos)
→ Flite titanium (lil bit ratty but comfy)
→ Carbon seatpost (fairly cheap & old, probably worth something more solid for touring but i never had problems)
→ Shimano 105 Front / rear derailleur
→ Basically brand new ultergra bb
→ SKS rear and front mudguard (front trickier to fit)OTHER INFO
→ ATM it's fitted with a slightly short chain (I transferred everything over from another frame onto this including slightly shorter chain). I'll include a brand new 10spd chain.
→ Probably benefit from a light service if going on another tour, just to tune gears/brakes a touch more, but rides totally fine as is
→ The front derailleur is shimmed as it's a 31.8mm band, works totally fine/solidI love this bike and wish I could foresee myself using it more but alas being realistic i wont, so rather it's getting ridden. It's last outing was across the Scottish Highlands & it was a beautiful ride. Very comfy but also responsive.
Price SOLD. Willing to post.
Any question let me know!

Friend got her bike stolen so on the hunt for something new
£300-£350 budget
Ideally a nice steel frame track frame or single speed conversion that’s drilled front + rear OR a steel frame road bike with flat/swept bars. Or something close that just needs a bit of modification
Size 54-56
Also open to just a frame if people have something!
Pic attached if stolen bike in case it gets spotted !

A friend sadly got her bike stolen from Broadway Market / London Fields. Down the opposite end from the park. It was an old BLB frame and thankfully mainly just sentimental value (had it for 6 years). It’s a shiny red with chrome accents on the fork crown. All silver parts including swept back porteur bars. Turbo saddle. Pic attached. If anyone sees anything let me know and also be wary of the area - they cut right through a Kryptonite in the middle of the night.
