    Lads.

    I'm on the look out for a few bits and pieces to build up a bike for a mate.

    Nothing overly fancy and the cheaper the better. I'm thinking free or a charitable donation type stuff. :D

    It has an octalink crank on it. Which I'm currently trying to remove and having an arguement with :mad:

    I guess the main things are:
    1. Wheel set 9/10 speed compatible
    2. 9/10 speed shifters
    3. front derailleur - band on 34.9
    4. Rear derailleur
    5. Crankset 9/10 speed - If I can get this bloody thing off!! I might see about changing to external bb if possible

    I have a complete 9 speed Tiagra groupset, although it's a triple so may not be of use, and a Shimano R500 wheelset

    There's a boardsie here selling a Tiagra groupset

    A tad out of budget. This may just be a passing whim but I want him to get off on a good foot and it may become an enjoyable habit. :)

    Updated list.

    ford2600 fixed me up with almost everything. Thanks and a gentleman btw.

    I have one a left hand 105 5600 (I think) shifter if someone had a right one that'd be sweet.

    Also need a band on front derailleur. Double.
