BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

I've gotten many cycling jersey zippers repaired at tailors for around $20, FYI.

the title of this post should be "spring cleaning for small people"

Ditto on the zipper repair. Irene's in Squirrel Hill did it for 20. Good job, too.

$20 for a hard case is a super good deal, even if it's beat.

I'd like that hard case, but I'll shoot an email for some pics first.

Is that really a 853 Cross Check? I thought they were 631 before switching to more basic 4130. Whatever, still a good deal regardless of tubing.

Good deals all around for this stuff.

ALSO:

Planet X road bike. carbon frame/fork.

Sram RED cranks 50/36. Shifter. I think force rear ultegra front ders. Alex A class wheels. carbon post. cane creek lightweight brakes.

Ritchey WCS bars/stem.

53cm. Black.

1300 bucks.

I'd be willing to take a chance on that hard case, and then make it available as a loaner to folks on the board. I think this groups needs that sort of "lending bank" for some of the larger, very occasional use stuff.

swalfort, if that is the case, you can have it.

you store it.

Hope you don't mind me tagging on to this, didn't seem worth a new thread.

Shoes;



Adidas bike shoes, mens size 9 (43) but it is a tight narrow 9, more like 8.5 narrow. Gently worn, good stiff sole, can be SPD'd. I just need to admit they're too tight. Free.

SixSixOne shoes, mens 7 (40). SPD clips installed, but you could remove them and cover the hole and they would still be nice. Wish I had kept the cover plate for the bottom but I didn't. Stiff. Not worn at all, my son blew through this size without even having a chance to wear them. $5.

I can bring these downtown M - F 9 am to 5 pm. Pm me.

@steevo - I got a big basement. Storing the case is not a problem. PM me and we can work out pick up options.

Tagging on. I have

1 Pearl Izumi leg warmers, medium. Small tear in the left one.

1 Castelli leg warmers size small. Not nanoflex. Windproof front.

1 Pearl Izumi knee warmers. Size medium.

Each free with a $15 donation to Bike Pgh. I will deliver to Espresso A Mano which is like a block from Bike PGH offices.

@edmonds59 - The 9s will fit me.

Cool, I have them downtown, pm me and stop by.

@edmonds59 - nice floors ^^^^^^

@ Chris, awesome offer!

Adding:

1 pair Ultegra SPD SL pedals. The original 6600 model with the black plastic pedal platform. They are worn but usable. $20 to Bike PGH takes them.

I think the pedals have been claimed by Will B. Sent you a PM dude.

One pair is spoken for but I have two pair. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

@edmonds59 - Many thanks again. They fit, they're comfortable, they work, they even look decent.

hey all. this won't appeal to many of you but:

need to sell my vivid air. medium tune, 9.5x3, $300

also selling e13 dh cranks w/bb and installation tools. 83mm spindle, 165mm arms. no chainring. $125

or get both for $400

Burley trailer.

I paid $80 for it 5 years ago, it was pristine. It's been left outside a lot so cosmetically it's beat but mechanically just fine. It's a single child model.

$20 donation to Bike PGH takes it.

I'll take the trailer

Ah ben you beat me to it. After you get that id like to check out the hitch design on it. My current trailer needs a better hitch and I remember burley having a good system.

Indeed willie, you can check it out. If it doesn't work out well for me, I'll pass it down the line. I occasionally want a trailer for hauling some light cargo or groceries.

Ive got a set of 700c Matrix Titan II wheels that someone can have. They are an older wheel that were taken off a bike but they've never been used. Theres a 7 or 8spd cassette on there but the only catch is they are a freewheel hub. If anyone can use these they are more than welcome to them. Pick up in Oakland.

I have an "almost new" Thule 970XT Helium rack. I used it exactly once but unfortunately it just doesn't work well with the goofy hitch system on my wife's mini. It just ends up protruding too far from the back of the car but that is a fault of the "sport link" system and not this rack. If you have a normal receiver hitch it's a great rack and I wish I could make it work.

Anyways, I bought it from REI and I hear their return policy is great (although I threw out the box if that matters). But, since the price seems to have gone up first , maybe this is a dumb idea but I thought it could be a win/win if anyone is looking for one. I paid exactly $282.36 including tax - I'd take a little less but if it's too much less I might as well try to return it first. REI is selling it for $340 now, $305 on amazon.

Kyle, I'll get those wheels from you someday this week.

If anyone is interested in the rear wheel, it's all yours, as I only need the front so I have as many front wheels as bikes.

Cannondale CAAD 10 dura ace shfiters /ders.

Ultegra brakes. FSA carbon cranks. All

cannondale bars/stem/post. Cane creek wheels

1200 ish? 52cm

Kayla - I'd be in to that rear wheel if you grab it, I've been looking for a geared rear to use for a rear on my cross bike.

This stuff is free to a good home:

1. A very old Campagnolo aero front wheel. It is in good shape.

2. A Profile (I think) stem adapter for using 1 1/8" threadless stems with old-style threaded forks.

3. A 30.9 mm Easton EC70 carbon seatpost. It fits late-model Specialized MTBs.

Send me an email at jcm250b (at) juno (dot) com if interested. I'd like someone to use this since I won't.

I took the rack to REI and they let me return it no problem, so I guess their policy is as good as everyone says - thanks sara!

I still have a pair of size 45 shimano sh-m034 shoes, used but in good shape, with spd cleats, FREE!

Bumping this back up. Free tires.

2 Bontrager Jones CX tires (cross tire 700x38, maybe a hundred miles on them

2 Forte Strata K tires, (700x28) 1500-2000 miles on them, still have a lot of life left. I replaced them with the exact same thing for CTC and these need gone

interested in the cx tires... sent a PM.

PM sent on the Strata tires.

Tires are gone. Will probably have some more shit here in the next few days I'll post up as I try to make room for more crap haha

replacing my 90's giant road bike finally so:

1" steerer ritchey carbon road fork, 1" polished (silver) fsa orbit thread less headset, 1" 90mm +/-10º profile threadless stem w/31.8 clamp, 1 set of 10spd shimano 105 brifters, 1 set (front and rear) of sram rival short reach brakes (no pads or shoes)

free to a good home

@cburch pm sent

dag that's quite a treasure trove!

also: yay to pittsburgh giant riders! i saw one at work today. not a whole lot of us around.

Yup, and I'm no longer among them. Not that you could tell what my bike was anyway...

Found another pair of tires

2x Bontrager Select Invert B tires (700x35)

Pretty much new, maybe 200 miles on them. Free.

More basement clearings-out.

Free to a good home: home-built recumbent frame/fork/front wheel/steering bits/seat frame + fabric for seat cover. Basically, all the non-standard bits to which one adds standard road or MTB parts. The new owner will need to sew the fabric together around the seat frame, and scavenge all the other parts...I highly recommend talking to Gerry Kraynick on the subject.

This was my first 'bent...the frame's in dire need of repainting, and the overall quality is about what you'd expect for something welded together out of a couple scrapped old Raleigh bikes. That said, I put a good few thousand miles on it before dropping the coin on a store-bought model.

Images below show what it looked like upon first build.

@reddan PM sent! (crosses fingers)

PM received, contact details sent back.

That was quick.

I need to put this thread in my RSS feeder

I could have used another project in my basement

...on a related note, my parents are throwing away an old recliner (just kidding!)

@Pierce: That ship has not necessarily sailed.

[thumbs nose at @Marko]

@Marko: reddan did say the bike needed some seat work.
