I just can't get a past a polished Cannondale...

It is pretty short, 975mm on a nominal 56cm frame but interestingly, while it is sharp, lively and responsive, I don't find it twitchy which coming from a 57 year old whose daily drivers are a Condor light tourer and a Kinesis ATB is saying something. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to cope...

Thank you all for your really informative contributions-it just goes to show how a little learning is a dangerous thing. I rode 27" as a kid in the 70s, took most of the 80s off a bike, returned solely to MTB and by the time I got back into road bikes after about 2005, figured that 700c was...

The rear dropouts are Columbus, don't think the front have been filed (they don't look to be but the space is more U shaped than D shaped), and the fork crown is rather slimline. I tried a set of Veloce single pivots which are a little better but still in the same ballpark. I didn't realise...

The Joe Waugh would be from Joe's M. Steel Cycles shop in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne (now shut) and would probably be mid eighties-mid nineties, various Reynolds tubesets . Many of the frames were built by Dave Yates (road frames of the period carried the Joe Waugh name and MTB carried Dave...

I have recently refurbished a lovely Dave Yates built Joe Waugh 531 frame but am stumped by the brake shoe alignment-the frame is a standard 700c, the calipers are standard drop Campag Centaur (I don't think they ever made deep drop Centaur), wheels are bog standard Rigida rims on Shimano RSX...

Thanks, but I just picked up a Centaur...

Hard to tell what's sold, but if the rear mech is still available, I'll take it.

+1 for both comments and I would add that they are the only wheels (fitted on a Synapse) I have routinely broken spokes on-treat as disposable.

I have a fluted Kalloy in nice overall condition which is 230mm rails to end if the last 20mm is not essential. Currently asking £20+pp on fleabay, open to offers.

If you are still looking, I have a couple of 210mm which are well used and scuffed up but could look nice given a polish, one marked as Chorus, the other I think is the A0R2 C-Record design (unfortunately I eBayed my really nice shield logo C-Record Aero last week).

Firstly, thanks to everyone for the responses, second, sorry I haven't replied. Since posting, the gas boiler has crapped out completely - it's younger than most of my bikes but still beyond economical repair, so the new one has cost an effing fortune and replacement forks have plummeted down...

Doing one of those "I'll just transfer all the bits" builds to a larger Anthem frame to find the 185mm steerer on my Recon 327 is that bit too short. Might get away with 200mm, but saying 210 to be safe. Has to be QR unless you have a thru axle front wheel you want to throw in? Would be happy...

A lovely gift for a Scotch drinker - but I don't drink Scotch. Unopened (obviously) and in it's display box. £37 at Berry Bros. & Rudd. Ideally I'd like to trade for bike related items - top of list a Schwalbe Pro One 28mm Road Tubeless Tyre or a Campy 9 speed rear mech, Veloce or above...

SOLD

The last remaining part of the full XTR group on my 1993 Super Vee and lately & briefly used on the Bear Valley disappearing slowly bit by bit elsewhere in these classifieds. I got a few enquiries about the hub only rather than the wheel to reduce shipping costs, so have stripped it out of the...

Having had a few enquiries about the XTR hub sans rim for shipping purposes, I have stripped the wheel so the hub is available by itself (as are the spokes and the rim), all are on the 'bay. £35 gets the hub, UK posted, stripped & cleaned with the free hub on finger tight and a new set of...

Things are moving so I've added a few price reductions to get them cleared.

Re: Weekend bump, will head on to eBay on Sunday if no further interest.
