Update: More things added. Everything still available. Have not heard back from anyone. Dibs is fine if you follow with PM, otherwise it will go to next in line. Cheers

NW10, near Willesden Junction Station.

Can meet central on weekend.

Had a clean up on the weekend and have some bits that I no longer need. There will be more in the coming days once I get time to take some pics. For now I have : -

Selle Italia Turbo saddle - In pretty good nick for it's age. No tears, but does have a small scuff mark on the rear as shown in pic. SOLD

Michelin BIB TS20 Gumwalls - These are some vintage tyres I took off a bike to replace with something thicker. 20mm light gumwall, with a few cuts, but still quite a bit of tread left.
SOLD

TA 15mm bottom bracket spanner - Used once, pretty much like new. Moved elsewhere for sale

Lifu Chain Breaker - Used, still works FREE

26' Michelin Airstop Inner Tube - Never used, but not in ackaging FREE

Topeak Super Tourist DX Rear Rack - Used once for a seven day tour. Has 2 or 3 paint chips, but no dings, still in great condition. Comes with tail light mounts but missing 4 screws for mounting (pretty sure it uses 4mm ones).

More info here http://www.topeak.com/products/racks/supertouristdxtubularrack

Bookman Front Light - Not much to tell, it works £2 --> FREE

Brooks Vitesse 100/ Sturmey Archer Seat Post - Plastic Brooks Vitesse 100 still connected to 25.8mm Sturmey Archer post. No cracks, good for beater £4 --> £3 --> FREE

And £850 is overvaluing in mine.

That's such a nice build, would look better with gum hoods, but I'm just nit picking. What rims are did you use?

?

Price drop. Bargain for a new pair of jeans!

£850 seems very high

Here we go

Monthlery rim gone

Oh snap.

@mi7rennie shows his hand!

Winner!

What's next weeks topic?

Pm'd

How much for the bottom bracket?

Edit. just saw

I only use them on a fair-weather bike as well. Like I said, I think I've just had really bad luck with them. The thing was today I was expecting to get a puncture, and sure enough I did. The Grand Prix Classics I use cut up quite a bit, unlike the Strada's. I am always taking bits of glass and flint out of them, but they don't seem to puncture much (saying that, I'll now get three this week on the work commute). But the ride on the Strada's is far superior.

I think those Bontragers are cool as well. I really like those light skin walls. The new Vittoria G+ seem to be a similar colour. I have a set of old Michelins the same, but they are too thin for me (20mm).

I have a pair of the Strada's. I really love how they feel on the road, but I have had some rotten luck with punctures on them. Just recently, two last weekend and one today, all on the front, and they have only done a couple of hundred km's at best. If they are for commuting I would forget about it. They do feel amazing on smooth roads though.

I use Grand Prix Classics on my commuter and have only had one in the past five months.

Nice!

What size is it?

I think it's an amazing bike at a good price, but for some reason I knew it would have problems getting sold here.

Exactly. There is always a lot of praise for nice bikes for sale for high asking prices, but that rarely translates to sales

I'm guessing the Gazelle's @gueron is talking about are the two that were recently put up for sale. Although I think they are great looking bikes, I'd be surprised if they sold here for the asking price.

Yeah, I agree. You see some priced at ridiculous prices on eBay, but they do sit on there forever.

Every time I see a bike on here priced highly, no matter what it is, I rarely see them sell.

It would be interesting to see how many bikes have sold on here above a certain amount, like £700 or £800?

There are definitely bargains though. I picked up great deal off someone on here on a steel road bike posted from Germany.

I think a lot of people are testing if they can get away with it at first, then drop accordingly when it doesn't sell.

Have these for sale
