Got mix of stuff I want shut of, some old, some retro and some not old.
No dibs please, the listing is elsewhere so first to agree a deal gets what they’re after ;o)
PPG or fees covered would be appreciated but not expected.
Old & retro stuff
GT Borrego rolling frameset
Original build thread here;
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=202261&hilit=borrego
- 18" GT Borrego frame
- GT ahead forks
- GT ahead stem
- Aheadset
- Square taper BB, virtually new with a long axle.
- Zoom bars
- Shim to take an original USE seatpost
- 7 speed wheelset with Exage hubs, Rigida rims and original Farmer John Nephew tyres. The wheels are pretty good, hubs need a service and the spokes need a bit more tension but the braking surfaces are sound, they’ve been in storage for about 15 years
front & rear mechs not included
£70 collected
Proflex forks - SOLD
These came from a Proflex 550 and have been in storage for a long time.
1" steerer 136mm long with around 45mm of thread
Good condition overall, plenty of storage marks but would buff up fairly well.
£15 posted (mainly due to postage costs of a fork)
Tioga Psycho 2
Unused, never fitted.
The sidewalls are showing some signs of yellowing and have gone hard but it's still sound.
Would really rather not post as I'm concerned that folding it up will damage what would otherwise make a nice tyre for a build.
£20 collected
501 bars - SOLD
Nothing fancy but with original Reynolds 501 sticker
Lots of storage marks on the paint but they'd polish up well.
23" wide
postage would be a lot for these so collection preferred
£5 collected
Bundle of brake parts - SOLD
2 pairs of Diacompe 986s
2 pairs of Shimano Altus
1 pair of Avid Shorty
There are all sorts of springs and wotnot but the 986s won't build into a complete set so for spares only really.
£12 posted
Tioga granny ring - SOLD
Never fitted with marks from storage only
28 tooth, 5 bolt mtb
£5 posted
Mountain LX thumbshifters - SOLD
7 speed with custom steel brackets. My Dad made these way back to fit the shifters seaprately (they were only ever integrated into the brake levers.
One of the pinch bolts is rusted into the clamp and it's unlikely you'll ever cleanly remove it so spares only really.

Have a look and drop me a line if any of these buts are interested, not priced, cost will depend on what you want and whether you want any of the above stuff.
All posted prices are UK only, sorry can't go shipping elsewhere.
Posted prices aren’t really negotiable unless multiple items are going together. Happy to knock money off for collection. I'm on the edge of Cannock Chase in Staffordshire.
