Hi All

 

Im gassing for a steel 58 cm road frame / bike w sliding dropouts and fork / headset (and seatpost ideally tbc depending in required size... ) to build up or use as a single speed.

 

Either a decent quality brand name frame only or a complete Alpina, Raleigh, bridgestone etc...

 

As the moneys are few, I have the following lying around not being used that I can use as trade / part trades if anyone is keen...

 

*A raleigh revenio 51 cm alu road frame and fork.w headset. Scuffed up. But very much useable.

*A GT avalanche Xl 26 er frame, Mint .w FSA headset

*An iphone 6 16gig in very good nick, been in a cover w screen protector lying at office as a spare all its life

* a pair of white size 46 SIDI genius 5 road shoes, slightly scuffed on the soles (i have a gravel driveway) but only used a handful of times as the are too narrow for me.

* a pair of Serfas mens size45 MTB shoes, also in very good shape.

*Mint garmin forerunner 10 - pink

 

Also have lots of other odds n ends lying around collecting dust.

 

Some spare mavic ksyrium equipe wheel spares...

Some mtb chainrings

Mtb rotors 160mm

An octolink crankset mtb

26 er slicks w a handful of kms

New shock pump w pressure Guage

Misc 26 er spares ,7/8speed

Stems etc... etc...

 

I also have a complete polished alu 26 er single speed (trek 4300) i built up with a new xcr 100 mm fork straight steerer.set of newish wolber wheels and centre lock 140mm discs, pair of used deore disc brakes and pretty much new alivio crankset w Bb.( Ideally I don't want to split this bike for individual components though...)

 

If anyone is keen to work something out or is looking for something , send me a message and we can discuss in whatsapp, organise pics etc... I'm based in Parkhurst, JHB.

 

Please and thank you

What 7/8 speed 26er spare do you have? Busy with a 1993 MTB refurb...

I am looking for spares for my Shimano 200GS 7x3 drive train.

 

Mine still works just, but shifting has become a bit erratic. The circular springs in the shifter and derailleur "B" spring have gone soft. The cams in the shifter are a bit worn and I suspect the derailleur pivots are warn too. So priorities on my shopping list are:

 

1) 7 speed shifter

2) rear derailler

3) 3 speed Shimano "Pacestar" elliptical chain ring.

 

If anybody has got anything that might fit, a whole drive train, individual items or just bits that can be stripped for spares, please let me know. I will pay fair costs and postage.

 

This is for my "pavement special". A rigid, chrome molly steel Hansen mountainbike from the late 80's/early 90's. I have fitted "Town and Country" touring tyres and I am using it as a commuter/gravel bike. Was due to ride the CTCT fun ride on it too. So keeping the mechanicals turning is a priority. The aesthetics are very original for a > 25 year old steel mountain bike (scratched and rusty!), which hopefully means I won't get bikejacked.

Will put together a summary of the 7 speed stuff for you guys... offhand, I think there is pair of combo brake lever / shifters, an RD/ FD, cassette w built in freebody maybe?

Tnx

I posted pics of it in this thread a while back.

In the meantime I have put new 26x1.95 touring tyres which transformed it. Theses are high volume but nearly slick. Low rolling resistance on the tar, but can still handle shoulders, pavements, gravel and some of the tamer parts of the green belt.

 

I have serviced most of the mechanicals but shifting is still a bit "iffy". I want to get that right next - hence the need for 7 speed parts. Then I want some kind of rack to carry my backpack while commuting. Not sure what do do with the bar ends, they only about half the age of the rest of the bike! Otherwise it would be nice to keep her close to original. No plans to repaint or de-rust, well not yet.

 

I have no knowledge of its history. Did Hanson build a range of mountain bikes or was this a frame made to suite the whims of an early MTB'er?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but I'll give it a shot. I'm looking for an old vintage bike , like a single speed computer , doesn't even need to be functional. The Mrs and I are tying the knot in May and it would be rad to have old skadonk for some cool photo opportunities. If you have anything lying in the shed , barn or field out back drop me a pm. I don't have much to pay but willing to trade parts, services or beer :)

 

I'm based in Kzn if that helps

I stripped my righthand crank and loath to buy a new set. However anyone with a spare crank would be appreciated! I ride a giant talon with Shimano crankset.
