Here’s the first tranche of bits to come out of John’s ongoing garage and shed clear out: for reasons that I hope are fairly clear, I don’t think the normal pricing rules apply here. *ALL* the money raised will go to Cancer Research UK. So please make your offers generous.
Handlebars:
Orange Hot Rod (silver) - came off John (and Lesleigh) ‘s tandem. Lightly used, uncut, some wear to decals. With Oury grips, Zoom bar ends and a VERY short stem.
Bontrager Race (black) - a bit more evidence of use, uncut, some wear to decals. On their own.
Pedals
Pair of Suntour XC (Comp) with black and yellow Power Grips. Evidence of wear to cage tops (more so on the left pedal - John’s “putting down foot”) but smooth bearings. Ideal for a “riding” project.
Seatpost QR
We can’t remember the make or model, but are sure it is something “boutique”
ORIGINAL Mk1 Tioga Aheadset top cap.
Appears to be unused. When did you last see one?
Shimano Dura Ace adaptor for FD-7970.
NOS in box
Bula hats
One blue fleece, one orange with pink dinosaurs. Both worn by John back in the day. Both likely to have appeared in pictures in MBUK.
Shimano prototype XT V-brakes.
2 pairs. Used. Replacement pads. Only 1 of the 4 mounting bolts found so far. 1 pair date stamped WE (but QC stickered WF) so May 1998, the other date stamped WF so June 1998. All have “PROTO-TYPE” stickers.
Coming soon - 26” tyres. Some used, some still wrapped, all folding.
