It’s the New Year now so time to act on my resolution to cut down on my bikes/parts hoarding and also make some cash after an expensive Crimbo. Prices not including postage. Collection is welcome. Dibs then PM please. I’ve kicked off the thread by keeping pics to a minimum (due to it’s size) but will be adding more shortly.
Paypal gift is my preferred payment type, all prices don't include postage. Royal Mail's standard 2nd class rate is £3.50, so this is what you'll be paying unless you ask for a different service. Possibly cheaper if it fits inside a letter envelope, ask for price. If you can collect then it will be from NW London.
Happy to send outside of the UK at cost, PayPal "friends" payment secures, cold hard cash only I'm afraid folks.

Suntour XC Pro Greasguard rear hub
Classic hub in NOS condition, although unboxed. It's in mint condition with no giveaway spoke hole markings to indicate spokes were once fitted, but all the same I've checked the bearings to make sure there's no signs of usage and they're untouched. This is the Microdrive version of the hub so the freehub is compatible with Suntour's own classy cassettes. OLN is 135mm. 32 spoke holes. I believe the freehub can take 7 or 8 speed cassettes.
£50> £45
Suntour XC Comp front hub.
Like the above hub this is also in NOS condition and is also unboxed. It's in mint condition with no giveaway spoke hole markings to indicate spokes were once fitted, but all the same I've checked the bearings to make sure there's no signs of usage and they're untouched. 32 spoke holes.

Excellent condition. The hub is NOS, although unboxed but it does have it's original skewer.

The Suntour branding has faded a good bit.
£15> £13
Shimano XTR FH-M900 front hub.
Classic hub. Very good cosmetically besides a scuff near the XTR logo. It spins sweetly, although I've serviced the bearings and one of the cones shows a fair bit of pitting whilst the other one is perfect. These can still be bought online if you felt it necessary to replace them. It has 36 spoke holes. All threads are good. One of the end nuts isn’t original.
£25> £21
Hope Ti Glide rear hub with non original skewer
Classic hub for screw on blocks. The skewer isn’t original but is a similar blue to the hub. Condition is near excellent with one or two tiny scuffs here and there. Cartridge bearings feel like new and are buttery smooth. The hub isn't showing any of the alloy flange hairline cracks which these older Hope hubs are notorious for(!) 130mm bcd. Nb this hub used to be part of a wheelset with matching front hub, I’m selling this as a wheel, if interested see below.
£25> £21
Hope Ti Glide suspension front hub

The hub isn't showing any of the alloy flange hairline cracks which these older Hope hubs are notorious for(!)
£25> £21
Hope Mono (earlyish model) front hub
Excellent sealed bearing hub which was a model around at the same time that the Ti Glide models were. Aside from some cosmetic marks from use/lacing it is in excellent condition, no cracks, although the cartridge bearings feel a tad gritty and would benefit from a service/replacing the cartridges. 32 spoke holes. Weighs in at a tiny 75g.
£20> £16

Shimano XTR BB-UN91 bottom bracket
XTR model from the time of the XTR first gen/M900 kit (similar to the above XTR pedals and not actually badged XTR, but the weight and model number is enough to go on). Apparently it’s a variant of the UN90 model and was rejigged slightly to be the best possible fit to work with the XTR and Dura Ace models at the time. Bearings are excellent, buttery smooth with no play. Tapers look to be JIS, all threads are good. Axle length is 107mm. Fits standard BSA/68mm BB shells. Weighs in at a tiny 337g.

Shimano BB-ES51 bottom bracket

Mavic 221 front wheel with Hope Ti Glide hub
Classic wheel from the 90s. Well built and still true and perfectly round. The rim has minimal braking wear and there’s no marks etc. The hub spins fine and bearings are buttery smooth without play. The blue colour is unfaded and there’s no scuffs to be seen. There are 32 spokes. The tyre fitted is a slick Specialized Nimbus, if it’s not wanted let me know and I’ll remove it. The skewer included is not the original Hope one but is a good match with the hub’s colour. EDIT: after cleaning up and inspecting the hub on the day I listed the wheel for sale, I was in quite a rush and failed to spot a few hairline cracks in it's alloy flanges. These hubs are sadly famous for getting these cracks and I think another reason I was so casual when first checking for damage was that I have three other used (and same vintage) Hope hubs listed for sale and none of these show the notorious cracks, so I didn't really expect them on this one either but now I know better!

The two inner rings show virtually no wear and the alloy outer one isn't far behind. Rings are 42/32/22t. Crank length is 175mm. Threads and tapers are good and all the bolts can be removed
Price: £25

I have included two of these to give peeps a choice between clamp sizes as one is 34.9 and the other 31.8mm (may have a bottom pull one somewhere, just ask).

For 1” threaded steerers. With cartridge bearings that are buttery smooth. All looks in nice condition overall except for marks I left to the bottom bearing cup due to a difficult removal from a frame (marked part can be fitted hidden behind the headtube).
£20> £18
Suntour XC Pro Greasguard rear hub
Classic hub in NOS condition, although unboxed. It's in mint condition with no giveaway spoke hole markings to indicate spokes were once fitted, but all the same I've checked the bearings to make sure there's no signs of usage and they're untouched. This is the Microdrive version of the hub so the freehub is compatible with Suntour's own classy cassettes. OLN is 135mm. 32 spoke holes. I believe the freehub can take 7 or 8 speed cassettes.
£50> £45
Suntour XC Comp front hub.
Like the above hub this is also in NOS condition and is also unboxed. It's in mint condition with no giveaway spoke hole markings to indicate spokes were once fitted, but all the same I've checked the bearings to make sure there's no signs of usage and they're untouched. 32 spoke holes.
£20> £16
Suntour XC 9000 front hub.
Excellent condition. The hub is NOS, although unboxed but it does have it's original skewer. I've checked over the bearings to confirm the unused condition which i suspected after noticing that the hub flanges don't show the usual spoke pressure marks used hubs have. 32 spoke holes. The Suntour branding has faded a good bit.
£15> £13
Shimano XTR FH-M900 front hub.
Classic hub. Very good cosmetically besides a scuff near the XTR logo. It spins sweetly, although I've serviced the bearings and one of the cones shows a fair bit of pitting whilst the other one is perfect. These can still be bought online if you felt it necessary to replace them. It has 36 spoke holes. All threads are good. One of the end nuts isn’t original.
£25> £21
Hope Ti Glide rear hub with non original skewer
Classic hub for screw on blocks. The skewer isn’t original but is a similar blue to the hub. Condition is near excellent with one or two tiny scuffs here and there. Cartridge bearings feel like new and are buttery smooth. The hub isn't showing any of the alloy flange hairline cracks which these older Hope hubs are notorious for(!) 130mm bcd. Nb this hub used to be part of a wheelset with matching front hub, I’m selling this as a wheel, if interested see below.
£25> £21
Hope Ti Glide suspension front hub
Excellent sealed bearing hub with ti centre barrel. Aside from some cosmetic marks from use/lacing it is in excellent condition, no cracks, and bearings run super smooth. Also, the Hope logo/sticker has worn off and there's a scuff on the top of one of the flanges- see pic. 32 spoke holes. The hub isn't showing any of the alloy flange hairline cracks which these older Hope hubs are notorious for(!)
£25> £21
Hope Mono (earlyish model) front hub
Excellent sealed bearing hub which was a model around at the same time that the Ti Glide models were. Aside from some cosmetic marks from use/lacing it is in excellent condition, no cracks, although the cartridge bearings feel a tad gritty and would benefit from a service/replacing the cartridges. 32 spoke holes. Weighs in at a tiny 75g.
£20> £16
Unbranded outer ring.
In good used condition, the teeth are showing wear except on the ano finish. 48 teeth. 110mm bcd. Matt purple ano colour still strong and unfaded.

£20> £16
Freebie innertubes
A selection of NOS x2 26'' and x1 27.5" tubes going gratis, seeing as I have so many tubes they seem to be coming out of my ears. Free to all, although out of fairness to the forum I'd ask that peeps take one tube per purchase of anything else.
Shimano XTR RD-M952 rear mech
This is a nice example of this classic rear mech. Very nice condition although there are slight scuffs along the parallelogram front. Jockeys do show wear but not too noticeable. Threads are all good with no seized bits and pivots have no play. Jockeys are original. For 9 speed setups.

[/URL]Shimano XTR BB-UN91 bottom bracket
XTR model from the time of the XTR first gen/M900 kit (similar to the above XTR pedals and not actually badged XTR, but the weight and model number is enough to go on). Apparently it’s a variant of the UN90 model and was rejigged slightly to be the best possible fit to work with the XTR and Dura Ace models at the time. Bearings are excellent, buttery smooth with no play. Tapers look to be JIS, all threads are good. Axle length is 107mm. Fits standard BSA/68mm BB shells. Weighs in at a tiny 337g.
£50> £45
[/URL]Syncros bottom bracket
A classic model to compete with the XTR and Dura Ace models at the time when this kit still had square tapers. Very light design with full alloy body and ti axle. Bearings are excellent, buttery smooth with no play. Tapers look to be ISO when compared to XTR BB above. Axle length is 111mm. Fits standard BSA/68mm BB shells. Weighs in at a scarily light 228g.
£50
[/URL][/URL]Shimano BB-ES51 bottom bracket
Excellent condition, hardly used IMO. Bearings are excellent, buttery smooth with no play. Has an Octalink axle interface, all threads are good. Axle length is asymmetrical 121mm, so would fit triple setups. Fits standard BSA/68mm BB shells.
£20> £16

The classic USE inline seatpost. This example is uncut. The colour is still strong and there’s no sun fading, although some has rubbed off from frame insertion, so is faded in this area. There’s a couple of scuffs too. Nothing is bent and all threads are good. Length is 414mm. Diameter is 25.0mm.
£30> £28

[/URL]Mavic 221 front wheel with Hope Ti Glide hub
Classic wheel from the 90s. Well built and still true and perfectly round. The rim has minimal braking wear and there’s no marks etc. The hub spins fine and bearings are buttery smooth without play. The blue colour is unfaded and there’s no scuffs to be seen. There are 32 spokes. The tyre fitted is a slick Specialized Nimbus, if it’s not wanted let me know and I’ll remove it. The skewer included is not the original Hope one but is a good match with the hub’s colour. EDIT: after cleaning up and inspecting the hub on the day I listed the wheel for sale, I was in quite a rush and failed to spot a few hairline cracks in it's alloy flanges. These hubs are sadly famous for getting these cracks and I think another reason I was so casual when first checking for damage was that I have three other used (and same vintage) Hope hubs listed for sale and none of these show the notorious cracks, so I didn't really expect them on this one either but now I know better!
£40> £35
[/URL][/URL][/URL]Mavic M231 rear wheel with LX FH-M563 hub
Another 90s wheel. Well built and still true and perfectly round.

There are 32 spokes. The tyre fitted is a slick Specialized Nimbus, if it’s not wanted let me know and I’ll remove it. The skewer included is original.
