    I'm presently based in Limerick so any postage will have to be covered by the buyer.

    New. Shimano Dura Ace Metric (not English Thread) Thread Bottom Bracket. 20 euro
    13895955672_99b084797b_z.jpg
    Bought this instead of an English thread.

    Used. HongFu Carbon Handlebars, 31.8*400mm. 25 euro.

    I got a new set of bars as these had a reach and drop that were a little too much for me. Never crashed.
    Very comfy set of bars, flat/aero on top. Didn’t notice any flex in them but I’m light (64kg) and not the most powerful of sprinters. Have had them about 18 months. A few marks around the mounting area but never crashed or over tightened. Always used a torque wrench when tightening to no more than 6N.

    New. Gub Saddle. 10 euro.
    13895947626_9f8af36ce7_z.jpg
    13919056635_07241f73f0_z.jpg
    13919110553_f4ac41ce06_z.jpg
    13919051125_7ee14021ec_z.jpg
    Said I’d give this a lash and see. A bit too much flex for me and I ended up going numb but it might suit somebody else.


    New. Jakroo Helmets x 2, Size Large (58-63cm). 25 euro each.
    14037245623_bb610654be_z.jpg
    13994118816_e32a0bd4f5_z.jpg
    13994115276_1d75b95a78_z.jpg
    I bought 2 of these online for my sisters who are heading off on a cycling trip later in the year. They’re way too big for them however going by my small head. Jakroo is a well known brand here in Asia so the helmets are good quality and are EN 1078 certified. I don’t have the boxes, as they are too bulky to carry back. Very light.


    New. Sunglasses. 15 euro.
    13919048695_f981330a20_z.jpg
    13895935016_a36a0e7209_z.jpg
    13895928351_2b4eacbff0_z.jpg
    14246707111_87de03ed39_z.jpg
    Got these online and they’re way too wide for me. Measure 140mm from inside to inside of frame at the widest part so if you have a narrow head like me these will look huge on you. They come with 5 different lenses altogether depending on the daylight conditions. Lenses as polarized. There are vents at the top of the lenses with the idea to prevent them from steaming up. Includes hard and soft cases.

    Not very flexy. i guess I'm just used to a stiff Specialized saddle that doesn't move whatsoever. I suppose everyone has their own idea of whats flexy and what's not. Couldn't sell to a defector however. :D

    Might be up on Mon. PM me your details - phone number and where you're based. Ideally if you could meet me in city centre as I don't have car taxed yet. These items will pay for that.

    Note: Mistake with the bars. They're sized 400 centre to centre and 430 outside to outside.

    Just the 2 helmets that's left at this stage. They are quite large so you'd want a large head for them by the looks of things. really light and well constructed with CE markings.
