    Kaputnik has beat me too it, but yeah its a track bike adapted for the road and would be trivial to return to track specs.

    I forgot to check the size but I'd say it would fit you no problem.

    It's either the large or the medium...

    I have a habit of buying bike frames that are slightly smaller for me than the recommendations say so it might be the medium... Then again it might be the large... It's definitely not the small!

    Please discount my previous inferred interest. I'll stick with my original plan of re-launching my old Revolution frame as a light-spare.

    Can anyone use a bumbag? It has a zipped compartment for sandwiches etc and a bit for a water bottle. It is purple with red bits.

    I'd need to measure up the carry freedom, width between the axles mainl issue. Should accomodate 4-foot with a bit of overhang.

    Just need a bit of TLC.

    Salvaged by andy a, on Flickr
    And a good scrape.

    And a washdown with meths.

    And a good attack with the random orbital sander.

    And a washdown with white spirit.

    And lots of beeswax.

    Does anyone have a spare Hamax seat tube clamp they would swap for cash or beer? My passenger is fast outgrowing the wicker basket and I thought I'd ask here before splashing out on a new one.

    Acera M360 rear mech, practically new (less than 20 gentle miles over tarmac) offered for sale. £18 or prepared to haggle somewhat. Open to trades - I'm in the market for mudguards...

    Last shout for my dynamo wheel before I try and hawk it on gumbay.

    £20.

    Nights really are drawing, dark at six in a few weeks. :)

    @steveo - you may have already said, but what diameter/rim capacity has the wheel?

    you may have already said

    You might think that...

    Its a 700c open sport which I believe you can comfortably fit 32's too.

    eta: One other thing I forgot is that its not a quick release, this suited me for city riding but maybe a problem if you want to go further afield.

    @steveo, I can take that wheel off your hands. :-)

    @Crowriver; Roibeard has expressed no further interest so unless he's really desperate it's all yours.

    That's fine - I was tossing up about it not being QR and will happily yield the field...

    Just a reminder.

    4 x 26" tyres 'with plenty of life left'

    Swap for 700c tyre, micro SD card, Stronglight LH crank (170 - but I'm not expecting anyone to have one!)

    Almost anything really!

    Have to go.

    Need to get rid of 'stuff'.

    Etc.

    Pair of used Shimano M520 SPD clip less pedals, black, with removable flat pedal insert on one side. Removed from a recently purchased second hand bike. Bearings seem in good condition, some scratches etc. but all intact, working.

    Sell for a tenner, otherwise swap for one of the following:

    - 700c x 28mm Marathon Plus tyre in good condition

    - 8 speed/triple or friction bar end shifters for Shimano transmission

    Clipless pedals still available. Last shout before I chuck them on GumBay.

    Basic bike

    All works, but steel rims so best to keep out of the rain.

    £25ono - or swap for something I might want!

    The back wheel on my MTB has died. Does anyone have a 26" alloy wheel which can take a Shimano 8 speed cassette and QR please? Doesn't have to be anything special.
