Hi everyone. I am looking for a Giant cadex smaller size as I'm 5ft 7. MTB frame. Would prefer on that's in at least good condition. Please let me knoww hat you have. Many thanks, Gareth

Hi there, sorry for the delay in reply. Been flat out. The postage is £4.99 and £7, so is £25 posted sound ok?

Sorry I didn't mean that the BB shell is in great condition, just that the rest of the bike is. I don't mean to mislead you. Sorry for any confusion! Personaly I would want to keep it, but a 16 is too long for me, but I would have had a self tightening BB installed because it's very hard to get...

Hey. I have a 16 Pantera frame. Its in very good condition, however it would need a threadleas BB because the driveside thread is stripped. If you bought it, youd enable me to buy a GT chucker frame ive been thinking about for a while. The pantera is a16, red, 1992. Dents that I can se. Paint...

Hi yes. it's still here. I'll take it down to the post office tomorrow morning and get it checked for you :)

Sorry guys. I meant to add that I've sold the xlite bars. many thanks

which one do you need, the disc brake model?

Grips and stem. Kore lite stem in good overall condition. The grips are good too, but a little grubby £20 ea. £45 posted

Very nice. I've not seen a steel one before! I'll be keeping my eye on your project. Enjoy!

Very true! Well it's a hard learned lesson. It really the reason I work on my own bikes, but I'll just buy a good work bench and a vice of my own and plenty of tools. No bike shop get bike bikes again. Thank you, yes Hambini is good to watch as long as you don't mind the unique way that he...

Thanks PhilB. You right. I have to stick me my wee frame. I was tempted to call the project GT Patina to be honest, but I was at the time hoping the abuse was just historic. ie the caught chains, the cable rub and cheese wiring on the seat tube. This is as good as I can get her with my limited...

Thank you! I'm getting there! I really do need to give those threads a proper clean though!

Tbh guys I'm gutted. It's taken me 9 years for this project, collecting parts and saving my spare cas. I've been through 4 damaged frames already all of which I was told were mint. Between bar ends damaging the top tube, dents from bike carrier towbars, I've got a lot of witness marks that...

He dosen't even know he did it, or at least, if he does, he's hiding it well. He is a friend and he told me no charge, but tbh I don't honestly think he knew, I think at heart he dosen't care enough about bikes. He was a good racer and has been in the game a long time and he's a nice enough guy...

Horrendous experience. Tbh, I find that a lot of these owners fall into the bike trade almost by accident. I think perhaps us being more pefectionistic rules us out. Maybe we'd take too long I dunno. I got pushed out of working in halfords for refusing to omit greasing bars and seatposts and for...
