^^ thanks both, especially for the model year!

^ thanks. Needs a parts list I guess.

^ Thanks, LGF. I do now remember that rear triangle was changed quite quickly. I don't see it doing >200 in local (Nottingham) market.

Asking for a good friend. Don't know year so might be in wrong section - sorry. Apparently vgc. I reckon about 150 quid?

Looks like owner was told "this is the biggest one you can get..." and then had to do what he could with little knowledge. In nice nick, but well over-priced.

Aye, a one goat race! And for once my vote on the winner! Just perfick. Thanks for entering all.

Unusually, a one goat race for me ........

Although I only asked re advice on a replacement chain ring Ian came up with set! Deal quickly struck and rings dispatched even more quickly! Five star trading, top retrobiker. My thanks.

SORTED thanks to ishaw.

^LGF:"I seem to remember that there are tabs on the spider that get in the way of certain makes of chainring when fitting to a shimano crank...." Thsnks. My thoughts also, why I haven't just bought a 32T from e.g. Spa.

Thanks for your time and trouble, Ian. The non-xt set would do fine - all depends on price! Very much OAP budget at moment, so if you can let me know I'll decide v quickly. Rgds, dave.

^ Thanks, hamster. Had browsed Spa but not a lot in 104 4 arm 10 speed. At only £13.65 the one referenced in OP probably best bet. Longevity not an issue - only a few '000 miles spread over a number of bikes about all that's left to me!

^ Thanks. Certainly interested in middle, all 3 depending on price! Paid a modest 380 quid for complete, all original, vgc, bike, so don't want to go too OTT on spares. PM me? dave j

Middle ring on my newly acquired 2012 BMC Trailfox carbon bouncer is worn. Replacement difficult to find - and expensive! Would a lesser quality fit/work acceptably for my tow path excursions: Shimano FC-T521 10 Speed Triple Middle Chainring, 32T-AE Black Expect and excuse forthcoming...

Simply for fun plus relief for my arthritic hands and fingers, my first ever carbon full bouncer (many years since had any full sus), what would have been a top of the pile I guess has joined my small fleet! Probably also good for my aging brain - have to learn about hydraulic brakes, disc...
