Hi,
Wondering if anyone has any nice old vintage pedals lying about that I could buy off them for not too much? They don't have to be in great condition as long as they run smoothly, but need to be double sided and have the necessary holes to allow the attachment of clips & straps if at all possible. Ideally would be Italian-make to match the majority of parts on my bike, but it's by no means a requirement.
Cheers!

Still looking in the off-chance anybody has a one.

I'm definitely also interested in other crank arms of a similar quality/design, as just the current degree of mismatch between the crank arms on my bike is really bugging me!

Many thanks!

Ok great! I'll shoot you a PM.

Just a little more info I meant to include in the original post: metal clips and pedals that are double-sided so that they can be ridden on the reverse and thus not have to have both feet strapped in the whole time would be ideal.

Many thanks!

Looking for some nice old/vintage quill pedals with clips and straps - they really don't have to be in great condition, as long as they'll stand up to leg-braking on a fixed gear and they run smoothly.

Maybe I'm being a bit optimistic, but hoping to pay around £10-£20.

Ideally to pick up in Cambridge, although can probably figure out picking up in central London or by post.

Cheers!

As stated - looking for a Gipiemme Crono Sprint 170mm left crank arm if anyone has one - with the dust cap would be really perfect.

I believe it is the same as this: http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=e7ef5f1b-e1c1-469f-8768-91356ded694d&Enum=115

It by no means has to be in great cosmetic condition - as long as it still functions nicely.

Failing that, would consider other similarly-styled crank arms.

If it's available to pick up in Cambridge that would be most ideal, but I can do other options if need be.

Cheers!

Hi guys,

Looking for some short silver risers with a 26mm diameter (or 25.4mm with a shim, or I can just make the shim myself) that aren't too heavy and also some black Oury grips.

I'm also looking for some preferably silver pedals with clips and straps that will be strong enough to withstand hard braking with the legs. Could just take the foot retention if they are able to fit my current pedals too.

None of it has to be in fantastically good condition as I'm hoping not to pay very much!

If I could collect in Cambridge or central London that would be best.

Cheers!

as things stand, apart from the F+F and headset, I also have the original saddle + post, stem, a selection of handle bars and breaks and levers. So I just really need to find time to sort of a new set of wheels and take off the chainset from the bike I am using...

And the size of my charge is xs, which I think it's 52.5cm top tube and 54 seat tube. My set up was with a 80mm stem and my post with have about a fist worth of length sticking out.

Hi, sorry about being slow at getting back to you! I have since bought a bike off another user on this forum - many thanks for the offer in the first place, hope you still manage to sell it!

Still searching!

PM sent!

Sadly the bikes were not quite the right fit for me - still looking if anyone has one! Possibly interested in incomplete bikes/frames as well, though a full bike is definitely preferable.
Thanks!

Many thanks for the offers - PMs sent.

Hi,
Still really want a bike if anyone has one. Because of various things in the last few weeks my budget has decreased a bit, so would rather not go too much over £200 anymore (although could probably still be tempted by slightly more expensive bikes).
Also I am now more based in central London so pick-ups around there would be most ideal, though as before I don't mind travelling a bit/getting posted if I really have to.
Cheers!

Hi, thank you very much for the offer!
...I know this might sound like a silly reason not to get a bike, but I'm just not a big fan of the upwards-sloping top tube... Sorry about that, I should've made it clearer from the beginning.

So unfortunately people had dibsed the bikes above before me - so still looking!

Many thanks for the offers so far! PMs sent.

Do you want a coplete bike? I have recently stripped down my charge plug racer xs in black, well looked after' fairly good condition. With all the bits that I took of it when I first bought it, it should be a near complete bike. But I am just deciding whether or not I want to keep it as a winter bike. What's your budget?

Hello, yes I am looking for a complete bike if possible.
Do you have any pictures and would you be able to tell me the dimensions of the bike at all? And how old is it?
Although don't worry, don't feel pressured if you want to keep it in the end...
I suppose I'm fairly flexible on budget; it really depends on the bike, but I could probably go to £300 or so, maybe a bit more, but yeah depends on what comes up.

Hi!
I'm looking for a fixed gear bike for a short (~5ft6) guy, so supposedly around 50cm size?
Something with a decent frame (perhaps an old steel track one) and components would be great. If it has short flat/riser bars then all the better, and yes, it can't hurt if it looks alright...
Really not going for anything super fancy though - just something that can get up to good speed and will be fun to ride on a regular/daily basis, at a reasonable price.
If the bike can be picked up from the Cambridge area that'd be ideal, although I don't mind also getting the train a bit (e.g to central London) or having stuff posted if not too much hassle.
Cheers!

Argh it's nice but simply too big!

Hello everyone, been out the country for a while where I got into riding fixed gear and have often relied upon this site's vast knowledge-base for advice. I'm back in UK so thought I'd join up - hope to get more involved in the future!
Now I just need to get my hands on a bike...

Hi, I'm looking for a fixed gear bike for a short guy (~5ft6 so like a ~50cm I guess?), something with an alright (like an old steel track) frame and components would be nice, although not after anything super fancy! Just something I can get up to decent speed that's enjoyable to ride on a daily/regular basis, at a reasonable price. If it has short flat/risers that'd be ideal!

Many thanks!
