I sell a lot of stuff from my Mother-in-Law's house via eBay, so when I googleresearch an item, very often the first hit is an eBay listing for hundreds of pounds. "Oooooh" I go, every time and then scroll down and find the same things for £10, £12, £7.50 free postage, all still unsold. If they...

I recognised that eBay name. They bought a Syncros stem off me a few weeks back for £35. It'll be interesting to see if it comes back up for a lot more.

Looks like a lino to me, possibly vinyl, but certainly not ceramic.

Yeah, I would have thought so. I imagine the £150 min order is more of an industry thing, possibly post-Covid and post Cost of Living crisis, but Acorn have always catered for the odd little bike job.

I've heard it said, he was once a mechanic on the Tour.

What did they go for?

Needs white Porcs , which might up it's value considerably.

Well that’s annoying, having just checked on Parcelforces website. Bah humbug. They must have not done Collections last time I looked, so ive ignored them ever since.

Ah right. Now I recall, for Parcelforce I’d have to drop off at the depot which is about 35 mins drive to Teesside. That’s why i’ve been discounting them from my choices. However it’s still UPS and TNT delivering parcels that they say they don’t. Maybe a business only service.

No, their website says they don’t take that size.

That old chestnut? Once again as I tried to post out a set of wheels in an actual wheelbox, from a bike shop, I find most couriers do not accept a package of those dimensions. There's no option to post, online. Only Evri will allow you to actually buy postage or courier-age, by having a system...

Bought a Chris King headset.Good price and lovely item. Well packed.

They’re making a return on some modern bikes now. Built into the headset and headtube nowadays.

Pair of track wheels from late 1980s- Alesa 913 rims (amazingly intact I thought, no brake rub ... doh ..of course) Sachs Maillard hubs that are smoothy smooth. Bit of play in the axle which is unusual for my brother but maybe that goes when clamped up in a frame. It's only a slight adjustment...

I will take that please. PM incoming

I’ve found myself with two wheelsets now. One has 600 ultegra hubs and MA4 rims, db spokes etc but is it better to sell whole or break down? Hubs would certainly sell but maybe not the rims so readily, and then again a complete wheel is so much stronger when faced with the rigours of couriers.

I remember seeing this in a Dawes catalogue and being bemused. What is it? What’s it for? Its not a tourer, nor a racing bike. Dawes have made a mistake there, that’s never going to catch on. 3 years later I was bringing home a brand new Saracen Tufftrax from Tooley Street, London Bridge.

Its now on at £25
