Too nice for me. ;)

Thanks guys. Some nice stuff but not quite what I was after. For now I have sort of repurposed one of my clockworks for this role - I had a set of F7 forks on another bike which has now been stripped down. I’d probably still be tempted by the right thing but should try to hold off any...

I probably spend at least as much time building and tinkering as I do riding, but you know what, no guilt at all. Fiddling with old bikes is probably the most relaxing thing I do, and sometimes it's even useful. It also stops me buying any brand new bikes, which is definitely a good thing...

Or, (these look a bit nicer to me) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256547059579

Here you go: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405677331046 edit: just noticed they are possibly slightly broken

I've had a look and they're not there any more. Shimano did a V-brake compatible 7 speed STI in Acera and Alivio spec - both decent enough, IMO This sort of thing: https://bikerecyclery.com/shimano-alivio-7-speed-rapidfire-combo-shifters-brake-levers-3x7-v-brake-or-cantilever-new/

I'm sure I've got some decent enough ones in my parts stash somewhere - will have a look but drop me a message if I forget. LX560 STIs are particularly nice though. For 7 speed I tend to stick to thumbies and use separate brake levers...

Hey guys, this is all boxed up - and I'd like to get shot of it in one go. @LikeClockwork if you want to come get the package then great, otherwise @tom_k9 it's all yours. Maybe send me a PM and we'll work it out?

Was being ridden by both the Stupido Jr.s but they've now sized up so these are the bits I no longer need following a stripdown. Frame has marks and scratches a plenty but is sound and straight. Easton monkey bars ditto. Wheels and tyres show signs of wear and age but were being ridden...

SOLD

Paisley freight is £40, a box is £5, total would be £220. Insurance against damage would cost extra… Payment via PayPal friends and family. Send a PM if you want it and we’ll get the details worked out. 😀

Idiot that I am I just bought a set to see if they’re any good! Seem quite versatile and well thought out actually, lots of options for mounting. Not sure whether I’ll use them as I already have a surplus of mudguards but these look like they might be a good option for bikes that lack the proper...
