Bike parts for trade?

Look forward to hearing from you so.

If anyone else is looking for frames out there I think I have a clements 501 and 531 frames stuffed away at my parents, I think they are both 50-52cm. Need to have a look again.

That frame is a non runner at the moment. Forks are damaged. Not sure also how to get the crank off - its a non standard old crank. I'll probably be putting up photos of it for help here. If I manage to get it off I'll come back to you.

Does anyone have a Bike Transport Box to carry my Bike to France ... i am not sure the Cab will be hally if I I turn up with one to take me to the airport...

I've actually gotten into a cab with a bike before* -make sure it's one of the 7 seaters and you should be ok

*I was bleeding heavily and in shock after a spill, but I suspect a faminine flutter of the eyelids would have a similar affect on the cabbies heartstrings

I have a hardcase, but you'd need to come to waterford for it..

Thanks That means driving down and back up hehe with the price of petrol ... I think I might be better off getting a big Samsonite at the TK maxx ...

Actually, do you guys think a Big Samsonite ( I only have a sz 43 bike ... that 38 in long ... ) would do the trick??

Can you show us a pic senior of the wheels ?

Buachaill, don't have one handy, but here they are on my old bike (they are the same condition now, only get used for the odd race).



I find them to be good race day wheels, they are quick and look fantastic. I haven't crashed them and have not ridden them much. I wouldn't use them in training because (a) they are tubs and (b) I find the American Classic hubs on them to be a little weak. The bearings are small and wear out easily - I have the same hubs on another set of wheels. I just replaced the bearings in the rear wheel, they didn't really need to be done but I was taking the wheel apart anyway to replace a spoke.

Anyway overall they are a nice bit of bling bling for race day. Just watching some english race on Eurosport here after the tour de france coverage and the planet x team is in the race, so if you want to see what your bike would look like with them on, turn on eurosport now !

Co-incidentally I am also looking for a car bike rack !

Good timing !

I have that type of foot pump from a previous Aldi offer and am sorry to report it doesn't work. At all. For the price of that electric pump you could get a decent track pump which will take your tyres beyond 100psi, important consideration if you are using a road bike.

You won't find a better price for a heart rate monitor, only question as stuf says is... do you feel lucky!

Brian- what sort of frame? MTB or road? I have some flat-bar hybrid levers you would be welcome to gratis, 9 speed.

Hi,
have the pedals off a specialized tricross going spare. Toeclips, nothing fancy and in reasonable condition (for pedals). Also a pair of 26" mtb tubes.
A water bottle is about the only thing I'm currently after - the tubes would go for free. Based in dublin 3.

I would be interested in the pedals. Don't have any water bottles unfortunately (well, none which haven't been extensively used) but could give you the price of one for the pedals.

You can have them gratis (I'd be a bit embarassed as a grown man haggling over the price of a water bottle. Especially being Scottish). I'll PM you my details.
