Looking for a 5-speed rear cassette for. 90s mountain bike? The one I have has been going strong for the past 25 years and finding a replacement has been pretty impossible. 
 

Also looking for road bike brake levers (without gear levers).

Looking for an Avid Elixir Hydraulic brake caliper. No hoses, or lever needed. It's the last part required to complete a build for my daughter's bike. Willing to pay for it.

Hey guys, I'm looking for an 8 speed MTB rear derailleur. A friend's sister had a checkers packet fly into her drivetrain yesterday and as a result of everything getting clogged up the derailleur snapped in half.

Drop me a PM if you have one you want to get rid of and we can talk prices etc. I'd just like to get her back on the road.

I'm sure 9 speed would work too

I'm looking for a 26" fork. Straight steerer, quick release.

Anything from 100mm - 120mm will work.

Don't need anything fancy, as it's for my wife's bike that is seldom ridden.

Willing to pay.

Cheers.

Have you come right yet? If not, I may have something that can work.

Hello dear Readers. I'm looking for spare consumable parts (chain, cassette, maybe chainrings) for a local groundskeeper. They have an mtb with a rusty shimano acera 8 speed grouppo that I'd like to revive. Pls pop me a message if you can help!

Thank you

Hi Every one. I am busy building up 2x donation bicycles for less privileged commuters and need a set of 26inch V brake rims with tubes to complete one bike and a set of 26inch tyres to complete the second. Willing to swop some parts if need be...

Hi There. 

If I can find a set of shimano 3x8 speed shifters (the ones without the integrated brake lever), then i can let go of the 26" v-brake rim set + v-brakes + 3x8 shifter / brake combo unit i have. I'm changing my daughters wheelset and brakes to hydraulic, hence the need for a 3x8 speed shifter set.

I'll PM you if when and if i come right.

Cheers
