I'm interested in this 9. Guidon Philippe - 43.5, 26mm clamp, f & r grooves. Clean, just grubby. £8 ...do you have a better picture of the middle part (the center that will be left visible after adding bar tape) Or can you confirm that there aren't scratches or marks on the center? If this is...

** NO LONGER NEEDED, already bought one ** Want to buy drop handlebars for a classic road bike. I have the following requirements: *42 to 44 cm width center to center *colour silver or alloy, polished in the middle would be a plus *double cable grooves (grooves for both the brake and gear...

So I bought a headset along with a frameset, and didn't need to check for suitability as the seller did that for me. Alas, a LBS cut my steerer tube too short while attempting to install the head set, and now I need a new headset with a lower stack height. It's a one-inch threaded steerer...

Thanks for all your help, guys! Thank you Montello, those levers are really nice, but since I really want integrated shifters for this build, I don't really have use for those (very nice though). I guess I'll just have to save up for a new groupset. Given the price is the same or lower than...
