I have a Dawes Horizon for sale in a lovely metallic purple. Reynolds 501 model with unicrown fork. This is a great bike and could easily be your only one. Go to work, do an Audax, or pile up with luggage. 700c wheels, cantilever brakes so wheel upgrades are all possible. I bought it for me for the summer but I've got simply got too many bikes now - we're moving to a smaller house, so I'm only keeping the ones I have dialled in and I'm getting an eBike. Needs a service. But then, £60 collected from Belper, Derbyshire.
Also a pair of Minoura Gamoh Porteur racks, front and rear. You need some copper sleeving to make these work with standard M4 pannier bolts and I will include a strip of stainless steel to fit your front fork crown/brake setup. IMO, the fork mounting strip supplied with this rack by Minoura is a deathtrap - mine cracked when I was riding it because of the way it's drilled. You can make a much stronger one for the price of a bit of steel and a few minutes with a drill and vice. £70 collected or £80 for both posted.
Anything else? Yes. A Nexus Dynamo hub laced into a 26"(559) hub. Nutted axle, rim brake. Bought for a project which didn't happen. Perfect for your town bike! I will throw in an LED dynamo light. £30 collected or £45 posted.
A 26" rear wheel in 559 flavour laced into an SRAM Torpedo 3-speed and drum brake hub. Never actually built into a bike but has been in storage for years. Comes with all cables and fittings. £40 collected, £55 posted.
Alpinestars Tange hardtail frameset. Pretty lightweight in Tange DB complete with 1 1/8" threaded headset and front fork. 135mm rear spacing (it was one of the very first frames to have that). £10 collected. There is a tap that broke off when I was retapping the threads for pannier bosses for this - I will have a go at removing it before you collect.
Pair of XT/Araya CV-7 26" wheels from 1992. Used, with a tiny wobble/flatspot on the rear but still good enough to ride and the hubs are still good so you could rebuild them. 7 speed, 130mm hyperglide. £50 collected, £65 posted.
Other things as I get to them. Postage is possible, but it will be extra money and I'd rather you collect.
