I've got a really cheap pair of wheels if you're doing it on a budget. Alesa rims, not sure of the hubs. £16 posted and I'd chuck in a tube or two if I've got any spare.

Here is what i've got:

4.
Sugino chain ring, 110 BCD, 46t, silver, 19€ plus shipping.

13.
Shimano STI break/shifter unit LX ST-M565, only right side, 8 speed, some plastic is missing. 10€ plus shipping.

16.
One set (2 pair) of Shimano Deore DX cantilever brakes, BR-M650. 20€ plus shipping.

got some diacompe v brakes and xt levers going for £22 if your not confined to cantis,

specialized 5 arms cranks and a variety of 42 tooth rings to fit also depending on what ratio your looking for

could work out a deal as im hussling to get a build finished in time for mayhem.

also have some lovely bluewall ritchey tyres

oh and a variety of bottom brackets, a good few in 68 x 113 and one 68 x 122 i think

what width BB shell is it, 68mm or 73mm? I have a few of each in decent nick, approx £5-7

pair of silver 1991 Shimano 110bcd cranks, £13

an unramped 36 tooth 110bcd ring, £7

no single speed bolts sorry

some newly white 104 bcd powder coated 4 bolt alloy cranks, £12

a variety of 104 bcd rings to fit the above (mostly 42 tooth so you'll prolly want a large rear cog - can chuck a few an old cassette in whatever sizes you like to get you started), £5-15 + a white powdercoated 104bcd bashring, £10

NOS STX cantis, £12 - and a set of cheap alloy cantis as well, £6

purple canti brake levers + a few purple bits to match (valve caps, bolts), £16 the lot

super retro Lee Chi 4 finger canti brake levers, £10

some cheapo Shimano alloy canti brake levers with shifter mounts hacked off, £4 :shock:

some green ano brake boosters if you wanna go down that route (plus valve caps, bolts, 2 crimps and lock-on grips to match ie green ano), £12 + bit more for rest

and various single speed freehub spacers, 1/8" cogs, lockrings, 1/8" chains, £?

As Charlie said a really good deal to be had if you buy a bundle! And tons of free advice too

ps single speed bolts can be made out of normal double outer bolts by grinding the nut (female part) down by 1mm or two

 

[Dead Rats]

pps, added some prices to my original reply, and I have more bits that I can't remember exactly in the spares box! Buy a few bits and post is cheaper as are the bits
