Illy coffee tins. Every now and then Sainsbury’s discount them to affordable, I buy them and let the boys drink it, then horde the tins in the cave. They are so useful and well made, but I have far more than I need. Impossible to throw away.
I’m after some light (sub 300g) drops. Flat reach - I.E the tops go out a bit before sloping down: 3ttt Merckx style, but I’m sure there are others out there that I don’t know.
Not ergo, Min 40cm width. 25.4mm clamp.
Super cool. Loving the low trail forks (good low speed steering) and attention to detail. Imagine what it would cost to get that made and painted now, if you could find someone able to do it?
& Yes I think that’s been on the bay before, and the previous owner still has their green one for sale...
It’s a tough sell at that price, but there is always a strong interest (if not wallet easing) in early MF stuff.
(FWIW I predict any resurgence in retro MTB interest will come from the early stuff rather than peak 90s super bikes.)
Cool. A bit steep but very hard to find in original and good condition. (Are those super rare black M700 ratchet shifters?)

I’ve been wondering if this 2hr rule is because they are trying to cut down on resource time scrolling through hours of CCTV?
But I’m fairly sure there is way to cut this scroll time massively by looking at different segments and narrowing the theft moment down (not in section a; not in section...
What about a front basket?
No way. Clean lines on this rig.
Rear carrier?
Absolutely not: do I look like a fool?
Some sort of pack you could strap to your back?
With this tailoring? Shut up and stop wriggling.
These are great saddles and I’m surprised it’s still here at that price. I’ve been sworn off buying old bicycle parts, but if it gets down to 50 plus post I’ll be physically unable to resist …….
I saw this in action at a recent gravel race event. I entered on the old clunker below for a laugh and got beaten by most (was nursing a terrible cold you understand …) but the drop bar gravel rigs really struggled on the technical downhill sections at this event. My sit up and beg bars at least...
