Don't the 1" Syncros have a step down in the steerer tube part - or am I misunderstanding? Checking this isn't 1&1/8"?
i would 2nd that. should have a step down i believe.

also this gent has an ad listed for ages in the wanted section for a 1" Powerlite:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=257358

Thanks for mentioning my wanted ad RockiMtn - no-one really seems to bother to check them prior to listing stuff for sale, so I do wonder why anyone bothers to post them....

Have also had a WTD ad for a 1" Syncros stem with noodle for even longer, but as usual, the people that spend their entire lives on the site get them within minutes. Nice. Wish I didn't have a life.

ouch

Re: Owwwwk's MTB for sale topic (Syncros,Cook,Ringle)

To all,

Was late at home today so I was not able the verify sizes (storage-depot already closed). My apologies.

Will do my best to find out tomorrow. Some of you already PM'd for shippingcosts.

unfortunately the items your after are both in high demand, and limited in availability. ppl with such items don't tend to need to look at want ads to move those said items. and unfortunately in these cases, the following phrase applies… "the early bird gets the worm"

anyway, back on topic and free bump for the seller! ;)

That's not quite the point of a "like-minded" community is it?

Over here in Blighty, we generally acknowledge the principle of patience and queueing - generally speaking, it's probably polite to check if there is anyone wanting such "in high demand" items for this very reason - people who have been looking for a year or more and made the community aware of their need, really should have first refusal on them rather than any old user that happens to be online at the time that's made no effort to find them previously....

It's as offensive to me as forum users that buy items cheap on this very forum and then flip them shortly afterwards for considerable profit. It's simply impolite. Some might say it's pretty rude, but there you go.

"Early bird gets the worm"? You might just as well have said, "you snooze, you lose" - which I find somewhat offensive also. Apologies for having a career and a family and not being able to spend every waking hour on the forum.

IMHO:

I think this is an off topic discussion. This is a topic owned bij Owwwk. We should respect that.
To discuss the "Early bird gets the worm", you can start a topic about this matter in the Retro MTB Chat section :)
 
Re: Owwwwk's MTB for sale topic (Syncros,Cook,Ringle)

Thnx Barnefield.

I have chosen not to put the parts on eBay. The "Asking for" prices are reasonable and fair. If not tell me. Disadvantage is that it's a first-come first-serve mechanism (instead of eBay who is not).

On topic:
Some extra parts have been sold but I will not be able to update this topic tonight. Same for the size questions. I have got the sizes but willl only be able to answer all questions tomorrowevening.

Sorry
 
Re: Owwwwk's MTB for sale topic (Syncros,Cook,Ringle)

Updated the topic. Several parts have been sold.

Syncros fork and stem available again. Both are 1 1/8"; not 1". Next in line have received PM.
