The Drive Side is Within
Have:
27" CX tires. Kenda KrossCyclos. One use on one day, Nov.2011. Connecticut forest trail mud lovingly applied, but I'll clean em up a bit before sending out-- it wasn't muddy out. Trade value $20ish (not including shipping.) Not looking for cash.
So yeah, I'm no CXer. At least not a singlespeed monster.
Could use:
3x7 or 3x8 mtb shifters or brake+shifters. Prefer canti pull at the moment, but have a V-Brake bike that could use new shifters.
42-44 cm road drops, rando bend would be great. Modern non-ergo also needed.
Saddles, road and touring.
Any tandem friendly bits and pieces for my '02 Burley road tandem build.
Italian BB to replace a cottered setup
6/7/8speed long cage RD
Old panniers
27" road tires.
I have many frames and projects, so if you are into the tires, let me know. I bet you have something I could use.

Have:
Easton EC90X full carbon fork white with red accents - should fit a 54cm and smaller frame but I'll measure the tube. One of the lightest forks on the market. Non-tapered steerer.
FSA SLK-Light BB30 crank - 170. Some heel wear but really stiff and light.
Want:
Force Shifters
Force FD and RD
Not sure - suggest something.

Have 34 Tubular Challenge Fango. Bought as NOS, stretched on a rim but not glued. I don't think it'll fit in the rear of my SS so i'm looking for a 32 Grifo or Fango.
I also have a not very used 9 speed era Dura Ace 46t outer ring.

105 10sp cassette
Tons of other little bits...just ask

First time here and relatively new to Cyclocross. I'm looking to trade frames if anyone is in need, or interested of, a 55cm Ridley Crossbow frame. I need a 52 or 53cm frame of any type. As I've heard, and am now reading, Ridley frames are a bit large and this one is way to big for me to comfortably mount and dismount.
If you're interested let me know, I'll be glad to send pics. Ideally, I'd like to trade frames and take all components off the Ridley and put on the other frame. This is a good quality frame however, all I want is a frame that fits. If it comes out that you get a better frame than what your trading...that's fine! I'm not looking for any cash exchange.
Thanks
Clark

Want to trade: Zipp 404 tubulars for similar level clinchers.
As I get ready to glue my first set of tubular tires for my first ever experience with tubulars... I am wondering if I should just change directions and get some wide rim clinchers. I am not really looking to start a debate on if tubulars are worth it, I can search and find that discussion 1000 times over.... I am just seeing if there is any interest in trading wheels.
The 404s are my first carbon wheelset. I am not set on sticking with Zipp, but would prefer to if possible. 303's would be my first choice...
These 404s are the dimpled version but not firecrest (2010 I believe). 18/24 spokes. Campy. Excellent shape. Can include brand new (stretched but not yet glued) 32mm Challenge Grifo and 33mm Limus cross tires if you want..
Can get better pics if there is interest.

Thinking about trading my 2012 Specialized Allez E5 52cm (SRAM Rival Shifters, Derailleurs, KMC Chain, Ultegra brakes and cassette, Sram Apex crank w/red rings, BB30, Mavic Open Pro Wheels laced to Ultegra hubs.) Low miles (wheels have more than the rest of the components).
Want: Comparable cyclocross bike (Example: Specialized Crux, CAADX). Would like a 54cm.
I can get pics. If interested, message me.

I need some MTB parts and have some road/cross parts for trade
I have a white lemond aluminium cross fork with canti posts (medium length steerer)
FSA energy compact/170 cranks and BB (the 34/50 rings are serviceable but will need replacing soon)
Silver Tektro 720 brakes for one wheel and black Avid shorty 4s for the other
FSA wing compact 42cm bars and either a 90mm Specialized stem or a 110 felt stem
16t and 18t Shimano freewheels (used)
Need MTB cranks/bb for a single ring application
A decent V brake for the rear
A 60-70mm stem and some wide low rise risers
18 or 19t singlespeed cog for a shimano freehub (spacers would be cool too!)
V brake levers
Headset 1 1/8
I need to get pics sorted out.

I've got my beloved 1980's Masi Gran Criterium on the blocks
52cm CTC
Horizontal threaded (no adjusters) dropouts
Top tube braze-ons
Water bottle braze-ons
Front derailleur hanger braze-on
BB cable routing
Dura-Ace front hub
Campy Record rear hub
Lambda strata rims
Campy crank
Dura-Ace levers and front caliper
TTT stem and bars
Crap seat post SEIZED IN PLACE (need to do the upside down, fill the seat tube with kick ass liquid wrench and let it steep trick...and/or torch heat to seat post to un-seize.)
Some old Conti 700x23
Keeping the SPD's
It was my road race bike for years then my fixed gear bike. It's been my dust collecting bike for years and now it's time to go.
Dusty with some paint chipping and small rust spots, but structurally sound with great bones and potential.
Get the seat tube out and replaced and you're ready to go with a vintage, steel fixed with a ton of cred.
BTW, Tom Kellogg of Spectrum Cycles did the braze-ons and repaint for me about 25 years ago...
Would like to trade in part for rideable cross, monster cross or gravel cruncher in a 52cm. The Surly Cross Check didn't overwhelm me. I come from a line of Fat Chances and then Canyon Snails and ended up on a Klein Rascal that the front came up way too easily. Gave it to my wife who proceeded to win races on it. Anyhow, I'd like something snazzy in a 52cm size.
