Raleigh mustang in good original condition
18" frame with sachs mechs etc. Some rust to chrome areas. £50

18" Timberline. Early 90's in pretty original condition except front wheel. Exage 500 lx groupset. Lots of scuffs, scratches and some rust spots. Couple of spokes on back wheel
Broken. £70

Found this in a skip yesterday and got all excited but unfortunately it's damaged. I think it's a Trek but might be a Scott carbon frame. Very light with an XTR front mech attached to it. Frame is poor cosmetic condition and has a hole in non drive side chain stay as if a tyre has been rubbing and worn the carbon away. I dont know if it can be repaired.
Size 19.5"

£45

Tis a Trek Pro 9.9 in the VW 'Team' colourway.

Quite an easy repair. Did it on my Specialised Epic road bike in exactly the same place.
You just need to buy some £2, 25mm carbon fibre cloth tape of the bay, some epoxy hardener and resin, and some electrical tape.. some expanding foam helps but not necessary really for such a small hole.

There's loads of guides about layering up the carbon - Sheldon has a page on it. I did about 4 layers. Doesn't look great but you can't see it and it works. No flex at all since repair..

Have a go whoever buys!
But daymm that is one ugly bike in my opinion! Good luck anyway.

I'm tempted by the idea of trying the repair on that trek! would you consider any swaps? probably not bothered about having the front mech...

I'm intrigued.....
What would you need electrical tape for?

what size is the Trek carbon beast?

 

[uktyler]

What size is the carbon frame, if it hasn't gone?

 

[Nomad14]

Sorry. I'll measure the frame shortly when I get back in.

It's 18 or 19" I think.

I can drop off most places in north west between Manchester and Lancaster.

Not looking for any swaps - sorry

Will consider any offers
