i'm thinking a discussion about trading bike parts might be useful. no cash, just trade. what have you got? what do you want?

when i finally get my bike from condor i should have a carbon cross top lever going spare (31.8) has a hinged clamp it's the left hand one but you can flip it for r/h use.
don't know what i want? nude pics of that bird from life on mars? decent 18t cog?

I have a 19T EAI 1/8" Cog. Want to trade it for a 15T track cog.

I've got:

1. 1980's Ciocc 54cm road frame. In good condition but in need of a respray. 126mm rear dropouts, so a good candidate for a fixed gear conversion.

2. 1990's Chas Roberts 51cm road frame. In excellent condition. Reynolds 853, light as a feather. I got it 2nd hand but it's still basically as good as new. To get something equivalent built would cost coming on for £1,000. Two tone colour fade, from red to yellow. Beautiful, smooth fillet brazing. 130mm vertical dropouts.

3. A 130mm Cinelli 1A aluminium road stem in good, clean condition. A bit too long for me, might suit someone else better.

I'm open to any suggestions!

25" falcon frame. okay condition but nothing to write home about. 126mm dropouts. no fork, just frame. it comes with a bottom bracket and it's built like a tank. too big for me so it's sitting in my office.

got a few chainrings as well (all brand new):
130bcd 45t
135bcd 46t
144bcd 46t

I've got a few things that I could trade or sell.

Nitto RB-021 bullhorns 42cm wide and taped up with black cork
Old Brooks Team Pro - dark brown, small rivets, nicely broken in!
Newer Lepper Voyager - another leather saddle, honey coloured, 531 chassis, similar in shape to a swift, nice condition with a few surface scratches from storage
Cinelli Alter 120mm silver, comes with a pin up sticker for the top
Pair of old Shimano 105 pedals with clibs (rubber) and straps (ditto). These are the triangular ones designed for use with cleats

Looking for anything interesting, retro jerseys with a 38" chest, 47 tooth 144bcd track chainring

heya. it should do. the 135bcd is actually a 46t. sorry about that. let me know if you're still interested. it's a brand new stronglight chainring.

i've got a 46t 144bcd chainring if you're interested. i'd be interested in the bullhorns?

I have a free 3TTT quill stem, 10cm long. GONE

Hi, 46t would do well, whisper or email with what you'd like for it!

Does anybody have a 13T or 14T track sprocket? I want to go to Herne Hill next monday, but i won't be able to do it properly on my gearing.

looking to upgrade wheels/hubs for a rescued condor - will trade for pieces of paper with pictures of her maj on them

If no luck trading you're welcome to borrow either size from me for the session. I've got tools to change em over too. I'll be there tomorrow eve (wed) and Sat morning. Riding an orange / white Koga.

what do you have?

i'm about 90% sure that 135 fits miche, but perhaps you should double check on your bike.</blockquote>

Yup, just checked - Miche takes 135. Is it for a 3/32 or 1/8 chain? Cheers

Good question. I would assume 3/32. The rings are at work and i don't have them in front of me at the moment.

Pip, if the stem is still up for grabs I'd be glad of it

I have your address, best not to post such things in a public forum; my email address should be visible. Will post on monday

i have a 15t sprocket unnamed, but nice.. barely used swap for something bigger?

I have a blue Reload top tube protector. Approx 16" long. Good nick though could do with a wash, maybe.

Would be happy to trade if for any decent cycling cap or a tt/aero bar end brake lever.

i've been looking all around for that! but ain't got anythig to trade it with...what about pecunia?

I'm in the business for a 49cm road or track frame - preferably something cool :-)

Stef_82 - if you still want the pad, my email address should be public. Drop me a line and we'll sort it out.

Tube protectors, i don't understand what they are for? To save your nuts? To help drag your inner leg when braking? Enlighten me :D

to protect the tube!

dents, scratches.. its sort of in the name!

Plus the padding makes carrying your bike upstairs a bit more comfortable.

It also saves your nuts when you hit something head on.

Until your nuts hit the stem of course. But I would suggest getting a stem protector too.

Or wearing a cricket box.

Just to mention, I can build wheels for beer.

got a usable truing stand of my own now, have built a few sets with no trouble before.

anyone gets stuck or needs it quick, supply your own hubs and rims (spokes too if poss) and come round with a few tins.

no fancy stuff! not yet anyway

can also do most other jobs for folk without special tools or thumbs instead of fingers

ok man, i just bought a pair of harry rowland wheels from brick lane bikes hope they'll pass the test of time, so as you can imagine i'm a little bit poor at the moment, let's keep in touch till better days come.

I've got a silver 36-hole Velocity Aerohead to trade if anyone's interested.

I've got a ridgeback frame, i dont know the size its at home, im at work. and a few other bits.

i would like a 700x23C Fixed Rear Wheel.

more info on bits i have when i can get home to sort them out.

i have a ss road frame (Viscount) with Campy dropout to trade.
I was gonna build something out of this for my girl but fucking Royal Mail bent the forks + the frame's a bit too small for my 5ft8" ladie so here it is for any of you that want it.
I'd like some pedals maybe (eggbeaters or atac ) or a pair of good tires for it
i think it's around 50cm.

I may possibly have a set of goldtec wheels grey with 17t cog, dura ace lockring, open-pros in cd grey (these look like ceramic but aren't. nice dark grey to match the hubs) stainless plain gauge spokes. these were built by condor 3 weeks ago, will come with a set of 25c gatorskins and tubes.
they are obviously in very good condition as they are only a few weeks old but there is a 1cm scratch on the rear rim, the front has not yet worn the grey cd finish from the braking surface.

how much do you think i should ask for this wheelset?

i have the opportunity to upgrade to phil wood as i get them trade -vat but how much i lose on my near new wheelset is the deciding factor.

Have: 2 sets of 4mm champ grips 1 blue 1 green.
1 Campy Athena brake caliper. (That can be polished like the one you can see in the pic)
1 Specialized extention lever that can be modified and polished to look like this...


Will swap for whatever. If anyone has any eggbeaters let me know.

i need a fixed back wheel,cheap and cheerful....i will swap it for a sexual favour,intrested?

Hi all - newbie here looking for a 49cm track or road frame..would like to get it powdercoated for that 'bare' look & build it up at my leisure. Tired of trawling the 'bay without success. Can anyone on here assist?
