That could be workable if I can drop them on Sunday. PM me the address

Re: I can get all three in later next week by car.

Another option is collecting the frames or frame in London (Paddington area - 5 min from station)

Re: I'd have to get a box out of storage but your typical bike box. Someone had a link a while ago to a specialist UK bike delivery service? Weight I would estimate about 5kg per frame and 5kg for the box. Estimate high and then no unpleasant surprises

Folks, I know that feeling. If someone will take at least two and pay up front for packing and arrange carriage. I'll put them both in a bike box and you can have 'em picked up. PM me and we can discuss it - I'll pack them reasonably well for £20. My post code is RG17 9UW, so you can check...

I have an older lightweight Ken Ryall frame which I purchased as a project but will not be able to complete. I am describing it as "frame and bits" but I do have a mismatched front and original SA 3-spd rear wheel of similar vintage to include. All free for collection Newbury area (A34/M4). 61cm...

Re: Thanks!

Hi - I am posting here as I fear posting in the regular forum might be considered "fishing". Simply put - selling house requires a clearout of a number of old steel frames I have collected over the years. These range from a nice (but with a small ding) "Rourke-style" frame (no tube ID but...

Here's a 61/57 Raleigh frame - what I would call a light touring frame with 531 main tubes, "Raleigh" capped seat stays, mudguard eyelets, top tube cable guide (and under BB) and rear rack eyelets. There are two sets of water bottle bosses and a front brake hanger. There is some surface rust so...

Thanks Keith - the parts are all "new" (and current) so you would think they would match. My SA experience also has taken a long holiday - seems there are many variations even in current offerings. The brake ends are "cast" I guess - the typical "universal (road/MTB) type cable (cut off what you...

I'm retrofitting some new SA drum-braked wheels onto two old frames. I bought most of what I needed, but of course missed a few critical pieces. Due to the wide variety (and lifespan) of SA hubs, it's extremely difficult to Google or search within the forums for answers. So - 1st question - the...

Looking for a pair of cosmetically very good Shimano Dura Ace 7400 STi shifters - either version (round or convex levers) but matching. Needed to refurb a 1990s bike with functional DA group but ugly (although functional) shifters. Also a DA 27.2 seatpost. Shipping to West Berkshire or pickup...
