I took some steel bars off a bike at the weekend and they were so heavy compared to the alloy bars!

I wouldn't worry about the risk of the bars seizing to the stem - its very unlikely and you do want the bars to move anyways.

Nice wheels!

Are these all for collection? If so where from?

38cm deda's from wiggle are compact! Woop.

Thanks for the link. I'll have a rummage... I think I might have access to a die to recut the threads.

Thanks Sacredheart.

I've ebayed them now but have yet to have any watchers or bids. If anyone is super keen drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

They are! They're beautiful forks but I mismeasured - they're 5mm too short and I can't justify hanging onto them.

I'm looking to replace the Aluminium forks on my mid-90's pinarello to save my wrists.

Ideally I would like to find a smart carbon fork with 185mm steerer and 40mm rake. Modern steel would be awesome too, since second hand carbon is a bit scary.

I have some amazing Columbus genius forks but the steerer is 5mm too short!

Final reductions before I start ebaying stuff!

Shimano do new ones! Sprockets have the double and triple variants for £60 odd. http://sprockets.uk.com/shimano-st-a073-sti-triple-7-speed-shifters/ Saves trawling ebay.

Just ordered the deda piegas from wiggle myself, 38cm width. Will report back at the weekend.

I run one of these and thought it was a bit strange too.

I installed it as it arrived in the stack and have experienced no problems so far...

Since this got bumped back to the top I'll use it as an excuse to get a picture of mine up! We finally loaded up and took it to Scotland.

Scary first day - the old steel frame is flexy as hell! Got used to it after a while though.

An example would be- never indicate left when pulling into the inner lane (from overtaking or middle lanes) on the motorway, as the people in the inner lane should expect you to do so.

I do indicate, because I don't trust anyone else on the road.

Damn right! I've watched too many people nearly take each other out on the motorway doing this - why rely on the guy in the slower lanes paying attention? I'd rather they know I was coming.

Pricedrops all round!

Miche and dia compe brakes sold to your mums athletic (which I keep reading as your mum's aesthetic)

Pleasure doing business!

Sorry Saxby, collection is prefrable to postage.

Undibs shifters and freewheel due to a recent eBay score on shifters and some reflection on my own need for a clear out...

Sorry to muck you around.

Got these two. The red is a kevlar flite with some scuffs.the left is a sella Italia "Expedia" which is a similar shape but a cheaper model.

I was about to post a similar request!

I've been driving a wedge down the back of them but don't want to damage the bb or cranks by doing it again and again. How did you manage it?

Thanks for the spa cycles link.

Dan

Dibs on the power shifters and shimano 600 freewheel. I can probably collect on a Friday afternoon or Monday late morning if timings work out.

PMing now.

I reserve the right to impulsively buy lots of shiny stuff if I collect in person....

£82 is a good price. I know because I just ordered a new one... dammit!

I may have some at home up North. I'll have a check for you at the weekend.

Would you sell the deore cranks, shifters and mechs without the brakes/levers?

I'm after a new touring gearset.
