MRP loveliness (16th July)

[barry2017]

You lucky, lucky people. Today I have:

31. An amazingly original 1988 Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo. Lovely. Perfect geometry for a gnarly tourer, but I bought the wrong size.
It's exactly the same as Sheffield's one. Click here to see how good it could look after a skilled restoration.
Includes frame, forks, the deore U brake, the unique fisher stem, headset and BB.
20" c-c.
For now, this item is not available. I built it up as a tourer for someone to sample the delights of touring on the cheap, and I'm loathe to take it apart again!

Re: pedals

quills please...

And now he doesn't want them, so they're available again. :evil:
SR SAKAE RINGYO top quality Japanese pedals for a vintage fixie, or any top end 1970s road bike. £10 posted, photos on page 1.
32. On-One "Twelfty" seatpost. SOLD33. Kona Racelight bars. Another quality lightweight bar from the 90s. A shade over 200g by my kitchen scales. 525mm uncut, not very much layback. Spiffy. Got to be worth £5 posted REDUCED!.

I'll take the On One post if I can pay by bank transfer...

I admire a man who can do a bank transfer. Will send it as soon as it shows up in my account.

Updates as of 25th May
I have to get some of this stuff gone, so the Fisher is being offered built up in a touring configuration, so someone gets to own a nice machine for their LEJoG or whatever on the cheap. Everyone should try touring, and this will be a great introduction. Check back tomorrow.
35. GT Branded saddle by Viscount. Some scuffs on back, but period correct to about 1992-ish. Looks wickedly uncomfortable but fast, a bit like the best girls. £5 including postage. REDUCED!
36. Tioga Factory 2.1 DH tyres. Front and rear specific, hardly used, and strong enough to survive nuclear winter. Well worth £14 posted for a bike's worth of classic mid skool tyres and tubes can't be bad, but what I really want is a swap for a slightly lighter set of tyres.

37. Rigida Laser 400 eyeletted rims, on 7spd Deore LX hubs. Bloody brilliant, these. Strong, light, retro and sexy. Eyeletted, black. Some wear, but completely true; I'd trust them. Would look wonderful on something lightweight from the early 90s.
£38 posted.

38. Raleigh Kellogs Pro Tour. Won in a raffle in 1989, it's spent its entire life covered up in a shed. Seriously, I am the only person to have been for a long ride on it, ever. Stunning as well as irreplaceable:

I bought this less than a week ago, but I have just agreed to buy Legrandefromage's latest steed and something has to give!
SOLD. You'll **never** find another one like this, ever.
21" c-c

I fell over these wheels earlier, so make me an offer. They are the Rigida/Deore LX ones

Make me an offer, I need rid of them.

Long time since I've even been tempted by a drop barred bike - but that Raleigh is really VERY pretty!
Are the rims steel or ally?
Is it 21.5" "square" c to c?

 

[barry2017]

The rims are ally, and eyeletted. Everything on this is a notch up from a steel rimmed 10 speed.
Will do complete measurements tomorrow.
