Re: Thanks stringfellow. Tried to be realistic about the price.... And I don't have any fees to cover here :)

Re: Just checked eBay....sellers charges are ridiculous! And Gumtree looks like a hive for stolen bikes so unlikely to find the target audience there. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can sell this it would be appreciated. (shameless attempt to bump) :oops:

Been putting it off, but finally decided to let go. Concorde frame (Carbon-Fibre tubes/Ali lugs) - 60cm frame, 57cm top tube Full Dura Ace 7400 8spd group (Gears, brakes, Chainset, BB, hubs, headset, seat post) Campag Black V-section rims (sorry!) Cinelli stem & Crit bars (65-42) Gearing...

Whoa! So many options! :shock: I don't think I will tackle rebuilding a wheel and I don't want to pay for it either. I dont even know how much ill use it yet!! For now, I will just go with the easy option and straight swap the 5speed with a single speed and see how that goes. Thanks for...

I didnt even realise that you could get "freewheel spacers" but just searched on ebay and loads of results!! Great, thanks for your advice. And searching on ebay, looks like i can get the freewheel i need for about a fiver so thats good. Thanks for your help. Rob

I picked up an old bike from ebay, with the intention of doing it up and using it as a winter/tourer. Alas, it just wasnt good enough for that but I dont want to waste it so i'm going to turn it into a single speed bike. Never had a fixie/single speed before so I have a few things i'm not...

Hi all. Building an old steel bike as a "project". Bought a broken old thing for £25 and going to try and build as a single speed/fixie. Managed to pick up most of what i need from eBay but forks seem to be quite expensive (or rare!). Anyone got an old set of threaded forks they want...

I've found a pair of dura ace levers now but really appreciate your replies . Thanks anyway Rob

Hi. Thanks for the offer of the 105 sti levers I really want to stick with dura ace as thats what the rest of the bike is but as they are quite rare, i'd consider the 105s if I don't get any luck. Can you pm me the details? (Price etc) Thanks Rob

Just got outbid on ebay for a lovely set of duraace 7400 first gen sti levers. Anyone got any they want to sell?

Was that really a genuine auction bid? If it was, that seller must be laughing his head off. There was no details of the components and the picture was not good enough quality to see it but from what I could tell, it looked really low end stuff. I know Bianchi frames are nice, but I don't...

there you go...my point exactly ! :)

My friend also has one of the TdF frames and has recently managed to complete it:

Re: Look behind you.... It is. Well spotted....I didnt notice it until I looked at the photo afterwards. I thought it was a Carbon frame....I walked back to check! :D (It was just off Oxford street)

obviously its personal preference, but IMO, bars & saddle have to match and white cork tape is usually my first choice. Although on your bike, a natural leather/tan colour would probably make it look really nice if you want to make it look even more old school. :D Rob
