    I'll be there as a seller.
    Still rummaging but so far I'll have the following for sale...
    A new pair of mavic aksiums, saddles, some loose tyres, cassettes, stems, carbon seatpost, shimano 5700 105 compact crank, bar tape, summer mitts, spd shoes, bell helmet, various ss team jerseys.
    I also have about a dozen replica watches (iwc, omega, rolex, mont blanc etc) and a signed framed photo of Lance Armstrong which I will have concealed on my person.
    The secret code word to peruse these quality items is "See you next TUE'sday"

    Also found some tools, threaded CO2 canisters, 2 altura jackets and a PDM jacket.
    The rummaging continues.....

    @idleeater, could be well interested in the Red Casettes and Force Chainset, though will probably hold out for an SRAM red chainset should anyone haveone.

    hmm. as per the '€1.5k bike thread', i've been thinking about getting a new bike. was looking at the genesis equilibrium, but the wheels on it don't look great. i could start with just buying the frame and building up from there - i suspect the aksiums are better than the stock wheels on the genesis...

    A colleague has an equilibrium and has aksiums on them and has nothing but good words to say about them. He does a fairly long commute too

    On the other hand, I have nothing positive to say about them. The most bothersome wheels I've ever owned.

    I rode them on my cross bike for a few seasons and have a set on my winter bike.
    A bit heavy but otherwise bombproof

    + 1 on Aksiums.

    The stock wheels on the Genesis Equiliribium tend to be Alex rims with 32H 105 hubs. Not the lightest and the hubs don't do very well in wet conditions. Alright though.

    Going for an Equilibrium I'd build it up from the frame unless you get a good price from one of the UK outlets, in which case 6 months with the stock wheels is grand.

    seems to have been the case with previous models; this is the setup on the 2017 one (equilibrium 20, the one with 105 groupset):

    Rims Jalco DRX20 / 28h
    Hubs Joytech A171CC/F192RCC-11S 28h / front / rear

    Koutobia and i had a chat about which charity/
    SSF maybe a little early and we may yet have another before christmas if this goes well.

    We would like donations to go to Pieta house.

    I would suggest that anyone selling make a donation of their choice directly to http://www.pieta.ie/donate

    if selling a large amount of stuff maybe pick out a few items where the price will go directly to them as well.

    I will contact them to see if I can collect donations on the day as well.

    Don't feel under pressure and if you cannot afford to make a donation don't feel you have to but if you can then please do :)

    If you are going to do collections you need a licence as far as I know (and it doesnt start with A)

    Seems you need a permit and not a licence

    how do they define a collection though? i would have guessed that a collection is when you stand in the street asking strangers for money, and this is qualitatively different i'd have thought.

    You don't need a collection permit. You can have an optional entry charge with the proceeds from same going to the nominated charity, so its not a collection. Its like any of the car boot sales which take place all over the country each week.

    I have contacted Pieta house and am awaiting their reply.
    Doesn't affect payments direct to them via the link above (which I might add as my sig) though :)

    Roll on Sat and hope to see lots of ye there

    Ive a few chainsets, an ultegra 6600 groupset and a turbo and wheels I could bring if I'm driven but if I'm on the bike it will be limited to the small items.

    If anyone wants delta pedals and cleats, you can have them for a donation to the charity. Zero use to me

    how old is that?
    i'll probably end up eyeing up a load of stuff without buying much, as i still haven't decided whether to buy a bike or a frame to use as a foundation.
    i suspect the above groupset is not the gearing i'd be looking for.
