Could I have the STX shifters and the canti hanger, please? Will send PM.

Castrol Moly for pretty much everything that moves but I also have a very old tube of Manitou M-prep that I use on fork bearings. Copper for threads and any static contact between dissimilar metals.

I've seen a Superlight frame for sale and I really like it. It's the first version, from 1999-2001 or so, and anodized rather than painted. Looks really good. The current owner wants £150 for it and I can't decide whether to go for it. Does anyone have opinions on the frame or the price?

Bought some Ritchey pedals from Jake; all good, and some bonus free Crank bros cleats that he forgot were in the box. I can't use them, but it's the lack of thought that counts 😄

Ok. The pad holders are in good nick and the pads have a decent thickness left.

I have a set of slightly worn M737 cartridge pads that I don't use.

You after any bits in particular? I don't have loads or any really high-end stuff, but happy to discuss.

Was going to put some bar tape on just now, but the Brahma bars are very narrow at the ends and the plugs don't fit. Anyone know of bar end plugs that fit 15mm internal diameter? I have some other bars with this problem as well.

If that is a short alloy flexstem for a 1" headset, and you decide it's not for you, then I'd be very pleased to relieve you of it 🙂

I should have noticed this before! Could I have it, please? It's a Gore Paclite jacket - Gore is the brand, Goretex is the fabric. EDIT: never mind, I usually take a medium but their sizing is on the small side: SIZE CHEST ARM LENGTH S 84–89 77 M 90–95 78.5 L 96–101 80 XL 102–108 81.5...

Post "has a slight lean" which "doesn’t affect use, could be straightened" 😬 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225356753611

The pinned post at the top of the Wanted forum is about exactly this.

Thanks for the responses. Just like when you cast the Spell Of Finding on a lost tape measure by buying another one, it appears that posting a 'Wanted' makes pedals I didn't know I had turn up in a box I thought I checked 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄 So I'm sorted, thanks.

Any going spare? The present Mrs JimK wants flats on the M300 and I don't have any. Ta...

Trip to LBS (Hayball in Salisbury) yesterday yielded a BB and chain, plus a chance to drool over some new Marins - the current Pine Mountain is really nice Fitted BB and the old LX chainset with the new middle ring (which from comparing to photos online looks like it's a Middleburn). Today I...

Solved the cable stop problem by bending the old Dia Compe stop until it fitted. Cable still fits in it 🙂 Also found this while wondering where the hell my 4mm Allen wrench has gone. The main body of the Cool Tool snapped a long time ago.

Can someone please describe or post a photo of the rear brake cable stop on this bike, or one like it? There's no stop on the frame, and the catalogue photo looks like there's something on the seat clamp, but they photo isn't clear enough to see how it's set up.

Today a new middle ring arrived for the LX chainset. No idea what brand but it looks well-made and was cheap: . Made a 0.3mm shim for the bars and fitted them to the road stem. Added the brifters. Might use tape on the bars. There's no rear brake cable stop on the frame, and the catalogue...

That frame looks great! Is it the original shock? The rebound damping adjustment on my '99 Rock Springs has failed - it has two settings: 'all' and 'none'! I need to find a suitable replacement, but it's not a high priority.

Now listed as 'for parts or not working', with the description reading "would not advise riding without repair".
