    Offer 40 for the saddle. Does it require the double clamp yoke or just the normal single one?


  • Registered Users Posts: 236 ✭✭sexpot


    Can't accept 40 man, 50's a very good deal. It's in really good condition. 85 brand new. Not sure what you mean by double clamp/single clamp.

    It's this:

    The picture should hopefully answer your question

    might be interested in the frame and saddle.
    few questions

    what size wheels fit the frame?
    is the bottom bracket ok? seat post diameter?

    offer 85 euro for saddle and frame pending inspection,Im free tomorrow morning/afternoon and possibly saturday/sunday


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 61 ✭✭techieelectric


    Yeah ok I'll go for 50. By double clamp I mean the twin row of springs you get on some of the Brooks, think it might just be the city ones though, they need a specific seat post clamp like this one: http://www.brooksengland.com/en/Shop_ProductPage.aspx?cat=saddles+-+city+%26+heavy+duty&prod=B66

    Okay techieelectric, saddle's yours. I'll pm you my number.

    kumate: the top tube reads as 60 cm centre to centre. The seat tube reads as 56cm centre to top of seat tube.

    It used to be set up as a high nelly so I suppose that explains the reason for the sizes.

    The bottom bracket is grand. I opened it up, cleaned it out and re lubed it when I got it, same with the headset. I've also replaced the cotters on the cranks.

    does it take 27" 630 or 28" 635 wheels?


  • Registered Users Posts: 236 ✭✭sexpot


    It had 28" wheels on it I think. I put 700c on it and they seemed fine. Your welcome to bring wheels to see if they fit. It was set up as a single speed aswell so it's a different spacing as well.

    JDT, they're basically brand new (used about 6 times, for about 20k altogether) and come with tubes.

    If your not actually interested in any of the items for sale don't post.

    kumate - I'll pm you details

    ooogh... i only asked a question, but best of luck with getting more than rrp from online shops(with free delivery)!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 236 ✭✭sexpot


    To be honest, I've checked most reputable online shops and they're selling them on average at €32 each, tubes then on top of that so I don't know where your getting your prices from. I put these up at €50 as a guide price, no doubt people will bargain.
