Hi Bit of a long shot this one, but hoping it might hit somebody's nostalgia bone. I had this from new as a kid. Large frame. The right hand mountain lx shifter broke so I replaced with a Deore. Replaced the stem with a Girvin flexstem - think I have the original somewhere. Replaced the...

No problem, I've sourced some from elsewhere. Thanks anyway

Volvo brand roof bars in decent condition. These were taken off a 2019 XC90 with raised rails, but they may fit other makes / models (welcome to try). I'm located near Warrington. £95
