I`ve built up an old bike for my turbo. If anybody has some bolt on tri-bars I would appreciate them. Maybe I could dial in my position somewhat.

I have an old 58cm black Raleigh bike which has six speed down tube shifters. I have upgraded the wheels, so the front has a 1.5 year old Mavic Cosmos which has not been used for a long time. The back wheel is the original but looks in good shape, is strong etc. I have put a set of Continental Gator skins on. When I got the bike the chain was in bad condition so I have just fitted a brand new chain to it. May make someone a good winter trainer as everything seems to work quite nicely.

Extendable mini pump

A set of Halfords roof bars for a Ford Focus or something similar

12cm ITM Stem

30cm Seat Tube in black for road bike

Size 47 Sidi Genius 5 shoes, 8 months old with brand new insoles not been used.

Front wheel from my old Trek 1000

A kit to add onto your bike so that you can put on a childseat, brand new.

2 pairs of brake callipers, not a known brand.

Airforce Tri Bars, these are nearly new.

52/39 Campag Chainset, think it is an old Mirage but not sure.

One old quill stem

Cable cutters

Cheers

I'm bringing some old clip-on tri bars....but they've definitely got a rather 'used' look to them but might suit your needs Terry.

Marek - I'm interested in your cable cutteres....my v expensive ones have gone walkies. Last used to clip my rabbits nails....not seen since.....prime suspect has floppy ears and a smirk.

Yup, that was helpful.

Sold 3 wheels, 1 pair of mountainbike brake levers, one set of V-brake calipers, two sets of cantilever calipers, two road bike brakes, a saddle, and a set of mountainbike STI units.
Swapped a tyre for a saddle bag and a computer for a promise to buy a sandwich at the cafe.

Came home with more cash and less stuff than I left with, so a success in Josie's eyes as well. :)

Part-exchanged helmet for a short-sleeve top and some cash, which I then spent on nice red look pedals. Also bought a windstopper hat and some assos long finger gloves.

Came home with more stuff and less cash.

Sold nothing, bought petrol, tea and cake but had a good chat with a few people. Should have stayed at home and done a turbo session instead. :cry:

Cheers

Tamar, sorry I didn`t get to the clubroom last night as I`m feeling a bit under the weather. If you didn`t get rid of those tri-bars, I`l definitely have them.
Plan to go to the AGM, but hopefully will see you before then on the clubrun or something.

Was good to have a chat in mufty.
Sold a pair of wheels, bar tape, track mitts, hat, storage bottle, and swapped a saddle pack for a tyre.
Bought 2 books, retro ACC winter jersey, video, and a new chainset, and the obligatory tea and cake.
Obviously spent more than I made (even paid my subs - but got a mug and car sticker) and went home happy. :)
