It's only 5mm when they are vertical but a few more degrees lean can make a noticeable diff.
Scraping toe clips unless they are real loose ones doesn't sound too good. Road conversion?
Clipless baby!

hehe, yeah been meaning to give spd's a go. In the meantime gonna change the crankset anyways and sort gearing (52:15 remember - pentonville road pain) so i'll try the shorter cranks. Still reckon i'll end up with 700's but i really like the look of the Suns!

There's a long while i don't use SPD's but here in England people seems to like more Time pedals...

.. and drinking tea, but there's no accounting for taste ;)

"No. . .

But I have a brand new Klein MC3 stem in 1 - 1/4 if you are interested.[/quote]

Is the still available? If so, what length and angle is it?

Hippy, you still want my wheel?

I'd like some forks please.

suitable for a 1 inch head tube, steel frame that i'm converting to a winter bike.
Ideally i'd like to ditch the threaded malarkey and go with a 1" ahead set even though that will
look terribble i don't care - especially as i'll be riding in the rain and road grit a lot - don't want
another alu-stem seizure!

Feck.. had to look at your profile to work out who you were?! :D

Ja.

And Roberto's set :)

How about 1" full carbon? :)

Cool, it's still at cavendish cycles if you'd like to pick it up from there? If not we're both out west so you could drop by mine on your way home from work?

Probably easier for me to pick it up from your place as it's on the way home for me and I've not been to Cavendish cyc. Surprised I didn't visit them when I was on Oxford St.
Is it a PITA to get the wheel to your place?

im in dire need of a rear fixed wheel. 700c or 27" email me at mduryea1@unm.edu with what ya got and price. hopefully willing to ship to swansea uni, ill pay ship charges

Roberto has a set (I want the blue one now - hands off)

Hmm would actually prefer a carbon fork if it had an alloy steerer - i find those expander bungs
don't grip tightly enough in a carbon steerer and things get all loose. I suppose i could glue a
bit of metal to the inside and use a starfangly thingy. How much did you have in mind?
It hasn't been doinked has it?

It was removed before I proceeded to crash with the brand new alu steerer fork in.. the day after! Fsck!
Still, can't vouch for its history although the bike when I bought it was barely used and it didn't snap during the couple of weeks I rode it. :)
They're kinda like these without the mudguard eyes: http://www.highonbikes.com/product.asp?cookiecheck=yes&p_id=309
Make me an offer.. I can only refuse :)

I have a 16T 3/32" cog (generic) that I'd like to swap for a 19T 3/32" or 20T 3/32" cog.

edit: It's 1/8" that I have so I'm looking for a 1/8" preferably

is that from your fuji track? It probably is 1/8" if so..

yep you're right. post above ammended

I cant see that website properly hippy for some reason - can you find another pic of em?

Hi tim I have a friend who is intrested in them cane creeks if you still have them. Check your email for his cell fone number.

Anyone have the Nitto RB-021 drop bullhorn bars?

hi there,
anyone selling an iro mark v frame? size 53 pls :D
those are not that easy to source in the uk :S

dexterflexter, i got some chrome track bars that i've chopped and flopped, 26.0mm clamp. u want em?

I'd love to swap my brand new 105 front brake for anything simillar but longer reach (57mm)

still needing a set of track wheels.....clinchers....someone hit me up, 492838@swansea.ac.uk.

thanks

Does this work?

What I've got:

A Campagnolo Centaur rear brake (brand-spanking new, never been used.)
A pair of Tektro TL 720 bar end brake levers (internal cable routing, shiny silver levers, brand new, in box.)
One Tektro RX 4.1 bar end brake lever (shiny silver lever, brand new, in box.)
A pair of Ambrosio drop handlebars (about 39cm wide, 26mm diameter, scratches all over and bad scoring where a brake has been attached to the right-hand drop. Of course, you won't see that under bar tape.)
One British-made 90mm quill stem with 26mm clamp (silver in colour, with a bit of scratching. Could do with a cover plate or something, to hide the adjusting nut.) For 1" steerer tubes.
One black leather 3TTT saddle (old, worn and not well cared for by the previous owner. It's still good enough to go on someone's old bike, though)
One 16-tooth cog for a 1/8" chain. Black in colour. Lots of life left in it. Only replaced so I could run everything at 3/32".

What I'd like:

A white saddle in new or excellent used condition. Not fussy about the brand, but I'd like something that's not too wide, waterproof and free from plastic bits.
A pair of nondescript metal dust caps.
Bar end plugs. Something to match white tape, please.
Em...dunno what else. 144 BCD chainrings for five-arm cranks, maybe.

Naturally, I'd be happy to part with readies, cos my newest surplus bits and bobs aren't likely to be much use to you folk. But I'd like to think someone could find a home for the bars, stem and saddle. Beaters need parts too. :-)

Photos on request.

EDIT: SOLD FOR £10! i cannae believe it. good old gumtree!

ive got a set of wheels from an old 10speed:



the nitty gritty details:
wheel size - 270x10&1/4 (32x630)
chrome rims (a little rusty)
rear - halford sports tyre
front - kenda tyre

what would i get in swap for these beauties!? im serious. theyre pretty bad, but maybe your dad needs some new wheels for his old 10 speed, and i need a custard slice and a donut

No way I'd trade a custard slice and doughnut for them, sorry. :)

what will you trade for a sugar daddy then hippy?

heh. perhaps a packet of gum then?

Used gum?

NOS gum from 20 years ago?

I have a set of stock bianchi pista wheels with an 18t cog, fairly grimey and with lfgss spoke cards in the rear. Will sell/exchange them minus the spoke cards and dirt (i paid good money for that dirt). Only really been used regularly for about 2 weeks in london, so basically in mint condition with an even newer cog (3/32).

Also i have a pink dirt harry lever if anyone is interested.

I need: cranks seatpost stem headset bottom bracket deep vs (just the rims and in suitably ridiculous and preferably mismatched colours) hubs (fairly narrow rear, at least 5 or more mm narrower than stock bianchi) handlebars (risers or bullhorns) long reach front brake seat chain chainring pedals/clips/straps and a rear cog. Oh and a re-spray and possibly new dropouts. and sort of narrowy axles.

Will trade for above or money. will pay for above with trade or money

:)
