Re: Just on the off chance... is this still for sale? Thanks. Ben.

Re: lots for sale updated The silver bars look like they're steel. What do they weigh? And they look like they've got a single groove only - is that right? Thanks.

Hi there. I'm looking for steel bars with single groove. You got anything? Thanks. Ben.

Re: I would like these pedals please. I can paypal or do a bank transfer. Let me know how you'd like to proceed. I'm in Devon, so a simple mailpack will do. Thanks. Ben.

Got any pics? I'm interested in the Thule carrier. Thanks. Ben.

Dibs on the pedals plz. Ben.

Dibs pls on Control Tech stem, 1" quill, 135mm slight rise, no top cap. £9 posted. Paypal easiest payment method for me if it works for you. Ben Totnes, Devon
