Old wheels/frame to give away
-
01-02-2022 6:03pm#1
Hey all - quick question... I have 3 sets of old wheels, plus my trusty old Cadex frame* in our shed:
None rusted or anything, but I've no use for them anymore, and....well.... very long story short, I'll have to get rid of them in the local recycle centre, or put them in a skip. But I'd rather maybe someone might get some use out of them.
Was thinking I might offer them as 'free to take away' on the Adverts.ie pages - but I only see FS and WTD ads there. Not sure if freebies are allowed?
Or maybe even here - wonder if anyone might be interested?
One wheelset and the frame are sitting there since the late 1990s I'd say. Other two sets of wheels there since about 2013. I hate throwing things out, or selling them in case I ever need them again...but turns out I didn't actually need them after all!
* with it's 105 groupset almost intact, so it's basically ok to ride it once a set of wheels are put on, although I would at least check the brakes in case time has just eroded them or whatever!

I'm 5'10" but I think the seatpost might have enough spare in it for a couple of inches maybe. The reach might be an issue then as it's still a bit on the small side for someone over 6 foot I'd say. Having said that there is a massive stem on it that was waaaaay to long for me to use (not sure why I bought that to be honest!), so it might work...

ahh! When I got back home, I found the little cable 'stopper' thing on the ground that goes on the downtube (see below) - you can see in the original photo that I had put on a Simplex gear lever for the rear mech - something had happened to the STi lever some years ago and I just swapped out the mechanism so that I could use the bike on the turbo for a Christmas charity thing I was doing that year.
Anyways - I'm not sure if you have one, or if they can be easily got these days (probably not I'd say), so I can maybe post it out to ye? DM me if ye need it. Bike was made around the time I think STi levers were sort of 'a new thing', so the bike is a bit of hybrid in that it can run with gear levers or with STi. Maybe you were going to run it with levers, in which case ye don't need it but just let me know anyways ;)
This is the bit which was there before the lever swapover, which I kept for all those years....and it must have fell on the ground when I loaded the car this afternoon....

@magicbastarder @eeeee unfortunately, after raising the saddle, and with the long stem, it looks like I can make it fit.
@8valve text me and we can organise those Mavics for you
