Couple more bits to go to free up some space and cash:

M732 XT Front Mech; as usual the flash doesn't do it any favours (got more pics if anyone wants 'em), an ebay purchase I've not fitted to anything; lets say £12 posted.

Nice Mavic roadie mech from the 80s, I think this is an 851 SSC (stand to be corrected); bought from ebay but I've not fitted it to anything and I'm not going to use it. Nice condition, few straches (made worse by flash in the pics), and original Mavic jockey wheels (but may need replacing soon); £45 posted. It's a lovely thing, if it doesn't make that price I think I'll keep it to look at!

That Mavic mech is a thing of beauty - delboy was selling a one last year http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... e706217c62

try and get pics in even bright light/sunshine with no flash - it is less harsh. Today is sunny

here it is on velobase to confirm your model number....

Looking at the others I'm pretty sure it is from 1986 - 1989

Thanks Ken, it's a lovely thing and even though I need the money I'm in two minds about letting it go, I know I'll regret it if I do.

Decent pics will have to wait until the weekend, it'll be dark by the time I get home from work :roll:

Anyone got a 1 1/8 steerer that would fit these? http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119922&highlight=zokes

One year on and I've finally got a plan for them. Think I'd get any joy at the bikestation maybe?

If its a plain tube try ceeway for steerers. I got a 1" steerer for a pair of forks before. About a tenner IIRC!

 

[Rumble]

Cool website, never seen that before. Don't see anything about steerers though - did you call them and ask?

 

[kaiser]

Aye best to phone.

Anyone got a spare seatpost shim - 25.0 - 27.2? USE posts are 25.0 aren't they?

 

[big.eck]

is this a fair priced set of sids with a free bike ?

or are they judys ? :? :?

Could be sids but it is hard to tell from the pics. Only a bargan if they work
