Time for a clearout after a couple of different changes of direction on recent builds. I have various parts left over, mostly for road/gravel. Please add the postage cost of the service of your choice - of course I'll combine for any multiple purchases. Details and pictures of all the bits are...

I'm going to be near some big climbs in a couple of weeks and fancy giving one or two a go while I'm there, only I want some bigger sprockets at the back to get me up steep stuff! I've got a new cassette on the way but I'm going to need to lengthen my chain, I'd guess by a few links or so. It's...

Very long shot but I'll put it out there - I'm currently on the lookout for a SRAM eTap 2x11 electronic rim brake road groupset: shifters and derailleurs mainly, but willing to consider brakes/cranksets too. Or maybe even a bike that has a set on already?

I've been umming and ahhing over this one, but time to let it go. The backstory is that I had this exact model bike stolen a couple of years back (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116116754842) and I bought this frameset as a complete second-hand bike with the cathartic aim of building it back up to...

I need to remove a pressfit BB from a nice second-hand carbon frame as it's not the right type for my crankset. I'm planning to replace it with a threadfit type (Token Ninja or similar) since they seem like much less hassle overall. But to remove the existing pressfit cups I just want to check...

Carbon fibre Campagnolo seatpost, 27.2mm diameter x 250mm rails to bottom. I believe it's either a Record or Chorus model. 197g on my digital scales. No damage, just some dulling and fine scratches to the lacquer finish, as usual worse down the bottom. The polished parts are clean and shiny...

Pretty much as above - I'm looking for a lightweight 27.2 seatpost, either inline type or with very little setback. Road bike so it doesn't need to be especially long. Ideally I'd like it to be the type of clamp that can accommodate both standard rails and 9mm carbon rails because I plan to swap...

now sold

I posted about this when it was an idea, but as of today it's an actual, working, rideable bike. I'd bought a really decent gravel bike earlier in the year and have been pretty underwhelmed taking it anywhere off-road, though I still wanted to try normal road bars and hydraulic STIs off-road on...

This was just listed on ebay, nothing to do with me: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225740683439 Bad photos/description, I imagine the seller doesn't know quite way they have. Though neither do I - I'm not an expert but I'd have assumed Zaskar from the appearance? Certainly XTR crankset and...

To finish off a build I'm looking for a decent modern Shimano disc brake caliper (I have one already though I'd consider buying a matching pair). Post mount and ideally the type where the hose fits straight into the caliper, rather than the banjo type as I have spare bits and bobs for those...

A pair of Shimano MX30 DX pedals (or 'XC' if you turn them upside-down!) I don't know much about these as they came with a set of Shimano cranks I bought, but I only use clipless pedals so have no use for them. The pins on one pedal look different from the other, so I'm not sure what's going on...

Nearly every Shimano Hollowtech II crankset I've had has somehow lost its little rubber O-ring seal (part Y1F316000) on the non-drive side. The driveside has one too, but that never comes off. I've always just done without, as they're £6-7 to get the replacement Shimano part. But I've...

I usually go for lightweight Ti skewers but need something a bit more robust this time, so I'm looking out for set of XTR skewers, will consider M950 / M960 / M970 series. Or maybe the Ti version of the Mavic skewers? Cheers

I have a RockShox with a Poploc type remote lockout and its clamp is designed for a 22.2mm bar. Only I'm planning to use it with a 31.8mm drop bar (all is explained here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/carbon-full-sus-drop-bar-gravel-bike-experiment.462731/), and once I fit it there will be...

I've got a couple of recent bike splits (one road, one MTB) with some really nice parts left over in good usable condition, so quite a lot coming up for sale as I get them pictured. For starters, some road components: SRAM Force 22 Carbon STIs £110 posted SOLD SRAM Force 22 WiFli long cage rear...

I'm building a gravel bike from an old MTB and will probably go 1x11 in the end. But I'd really like to do 2x11 if I could make it work with most of my current parts. I know it won't work as is, but would love to know if anyone has managed to make it work, like with a Jtek shiftmate adapter (but...

Looking to switch to 1x11 for a gravel bike/MTB conversion (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/carbon-full-sus-drop-bar-gravel-bike-experiment.462731) and I'm on the lookout for: A set of 1x11 or 2x11 Shimano road STI levers for hydraulic brakes (if post mount brakes are fitted, all the...

Large cardboard bike box for posting from a new Planet X gravel bike I just bought - I'll have to take it to the tip in the next couple of weeks as I've got no room to store it, but it seems a shame to throw it out if someone can make use of it! I'm in postcode area SO24. I can give you the...

I've got these on ebay at the moment but happy to let them go for less on here. A top-end pair of Mavic Zxellium Ultimate Cycling Shoes. Size EU 44. I normally take a 44 in Shimano shoes and a UK size 9 in non-cycling shoes and I find the Mavics ok but a snug fit, so I'd say suitable for a...
