As one of my bikes needs to go, maybe I can tempt you with my carbon Ribble road bike? It’s a 53cm Ribble Sportive Bianco carbon road bike with full Shimano Ultegra 2×11 groupset. The wheels are Campagnolo Scirocco 35 with a Shimano freehub, 11-28 cassette and fitted with Continental Grand Prix...

Something needs to go from the fleet so here's my large IBIS Ripmo AF. It's in good used condition - there are the usual stonechips and scuffs to the frame and fork lowers but it's all light cosmetic only. There are no dents and dings, the pivots are tight and smooth and the fork stanchions are...

I’m in Hayfield, Derbyshire

I'm selling a medium Bird Zero AM 27.5 It's in nice used condition - usual minor scuffs but pretty light. Generally it's in really nice condition. It's built up with Lyrik RC forks, XT 12 speed shifter and SLX mech, SLX brakes, Spank wheels and Race Face bars/stem. Garmin mount and pedals...

I'm selling a lovely condition classic 26" wheel On One Inbred Singlespeed frame. It's in great condition, a few minor marks here and there on the paintwork but generally really good condition. It's a singlespeed frame with horizontal dropouts although I'm including a slot mount rear hanger...

I'm selling a pair of Specialized Ground Control 27.5x3.0 plus sized tyres fitted with Vittoria Air Liner tyre liners. They are in good condition with loads of tread. They have been used tubeless so will have some residue on them. £40 plus post

I doubt they made a production run but never say never for a one off prototype. In 2013 Brant said of the Evo 2 on MTBR "Geometry identical, tube shapes and profiles more optimised for lighter weight, better ride. Seat tube now takes a 30.9mm post and 34.9mm seat clamp and FD." and I'd suggest...

A quick search of t'internet doesn't reveal any Evo (or Evo 2) with the curved brace by the disc rear mount. Added to non-standard decal layout, I reckon it's something custom made or a re-painted prototype. Lovely though. Despite having had one in the past, I'd totally missed (or...

It’s not just retro - second hand bike market generally is really poor. As has been said above, it’s a ‘first world’ hobby and those are always the first to be impacted when times are tight. Look at the modern bike classifieds such as on Singletrackworld. Not only are people not buying...

I wanted a pair of POOBAH's so much when I first started riding. They were out of my financial reach at the time so I had to make do with a basic pair of Shimano shoes that didn't have an ounce of velcro covering for the laces. They were soon replaced by a cheap pair of 'John Luck' shoes from...

8cm according to my tape measure HTH

Thanks. Forgot about those, they’ve been around for ages haven’t they? Not the most attractive but looks like it should be effective and priced for the project!
