just need to find someone who like Trapper Keeper Art :rolleyes:

This one was not supposed to end up here, but is has, with a caveat

Shogun Prairiebreaker Pro - with a very stuck seatpost

I should have left well enough alone! Seatpost was stuck, but in a position that worked for me, decided it needed to get unstuck (I have succeeded quite a few times) after soaking in penetrant and multiple attempts at mechanical removal (including slicing the seattube into 4 with a wood sawsall blade) I went out and bought the Lye to melt out the post. On re-reading all the threads and the likely need for multiple applications I paused and decided the chances of me wrecking the paint, were more likely than not. The hilarious 80's paint job is half of the appeal of this frame, so I decided I would give someone else a chance If they wanted to continue the attempt at removing the post without destroying the paint?
That may not be an option? At this point my failed attempts and prep to melt the post, have left the frame with none of the remaining post sticking out of the frame! So I am not sure of mechanical methods that would now work? On the longshot that someone both fits & wants this frame and is willing to tackle the challenge? It is available for local pick-up in South Los Angeles (San Pedro) or pack and ship by my local shop.

Pics to come soon, need to go snap them

My Grandis is 56cm Center-to-Top, with 55cm C-C top tube. it is best described as a F1 car with only 2 wheels, hard riding, demanding that I ride faster, with lightning quick response. A criterium bike not for the faint of heart! But great fun otherwise. My Masi is similarly small but always does what I am thinking without me having to tell it what to do.

I am potentially interested in that Grandis if it is still around

Black Friday bump for the freebies posted above, both still available

No, it’s no longer available. In fact it’s in a whole lot of pieces in a box. Getting “the full monty” over the winter.

I bought this Lepper Voyager titanium saddle on the auction site years ago not knowing its terrible reputation, and of course it broke after riding it just a few miles. I weigh 160 lbs., so I think I can say the fault lies with the design of the saddle and not me. Anyway, I am offering it for the price of its shipping to anyone who can either weld titanium to repair and reinforce it or to mount to their vintage Dutch masterpiece and hang it on the wall.

I have a wall art project for this guy but will hold out to see if someone wants to actually repair and use it on a bicycle? Otherwise I’d love to take it if no one will repair it.

I'm not in line for this very generous freebie, but I can't see the break in the picture -- did a rail come loose from the frame at one end or something?

Cleaning up the workbench and hoping to find the top. I've been at this since the covid challenge and still have not gotten there. Today's offering is two pairs of road pedals, one Gipiemme and one Campy GS and a couple of NR right pedals if anyone needs a replacement. Take one pair of both or even all of them cost of postage. Send PM and first come etc. Smiles, MH

Wire rack mount for older Cannondale handlebar bags that use a cord to stabilize the bag. Kind of U shaped, goes under the stem and the bag is inserted into the projected arms. Seems to me these are hard to find these days. Free for the cost of postage.

I’d take and post a picture but if you have one of these bags…you know what I’m talking about.

kansascity 01-23-26 03:50 PM

CLAIMED. Single Speed Freewheels bundle (all go to one lucky person). Will ship as cheap as possible with Pirateship.

Hey Jdawg -

If you are only taking a few, I could use a couple of these.

Done. I am only taking two at most (likely the upper row, two at right). One is 21 the other is 20 I think.

…for my entry in the On The Road Again Challenge bike…

Today's offering: A pair of Burley foot protectors for rain and snow riding. Never used because they came with a rain suit and I didn't need them. Cost of postage Smiles, MH
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...51f271fab5.jpg
two foot protectors, vinyl type of lower cover and rain resistant fabric uppers.

Generous size will accommodate extra layers inside over shoes.

Mad Honk 02-05-26 11:28 AM

Another item that is on the workbench and should be in someone's hands. I think this one came off of a new wheel that had been crashed, so pretty much no miles on it. As always cost of postage. Smiles, MH

Brake calipers, shifter
 
Claimed.
A hodge-podge of items for the cost of postage. Hopefully someone can take the whole batch!

- The Weinmann nutted caliper is complete except for the nut.
- The G-Star nutted caliper is missing the barrel adjuster and the nut.
- The Campagnolo clamp-on shifters are complete and move smoothly.
- The Shimano Ultegra and 105 calipers only sorta work and might be better for parts. If you look carefully at the 105, the pivot bolt isn't the original. They both had damaged bolts so I tried to use a generic flathead bolt to get them working, and they do pivot, but feel a little loose in their movement.
