Maybe £50 was a bit ambitious ;-) Now £40, open to offers on individual bits

Seems I priced these a tad high. £70 for the lot, open to offers for individual bits.

I think I might have a pair of these, I'll check tonight

£400! Somebody please take it :-) I need the space to fit another bike...

Various 6500 bits I started gathering for a project that never happened. ST-6500 2 x 9 STI levers, functional but a bit grotty, RH name plate missing ST-6500 3 x 9 STI levers, would scrub up alright with a bit of TLC RD-6500-SS rear derailleur, reasonable condition FH-6500 rear hub 36 hole with...

ST-R3000 Sora 2x9 Shifters. Well used but fully functional. Will work with normal calipers, cantis or road-pull disc brakes. RD-R3000-GS rear derailleur (max 34t), a bit crusty but still fully functional, silver Hope jockey wheels. RD-R3000-SS rear derailleur (max 30t), hardly used, good...

Looks fast standing still! I'm not usually that bothered about anything pre-1980 as I tend to find they look a bit too clunky and old for my liking, but that's bloody lovely

With 10 speed, it works, don't touch it. Don't even think about touching it. And absolutely under no circumstances plug it into e-tube, unless it's already broken. From memory (been a while, I tried to blank it from my mind), if you try to update it with anything other than old e-tube V3, it...

Fantastic frame, and I like the fairly understated build - it's hard not to go overboard with the shiny colours, but this lets the frame stand out. The rear brake bridge acting as a canti cable guide is a nice touch. Nice :)

£500!

Bought some hubs and a derailleur. Honest product description, quick responses, and prompt, securely packed shipping. Can't complain, would buy again 👍

Now £550 Can potentially split for parts if there is interest

Oops :-) I was in the right corner of europe at least :-)

I've spent enough time lurking here without posting a bike, so, here's one I made earlier (this morning). It's a bit of a retrobike special - I bought the frame on here from Foz a few years ago, and most of the groupset was gathered here in dribs and drabs over the last few months. This has been...

I have a theory that noise and ride quality are at least slightly linked, on carbon bikes - I've found that the more "carbon roar" that it makes, the harsher the ride tends to be - old TT bikes are usually the worst offenders – they absolutely pummel you, and you can hear them coming from miles...
