    Hi all,

    Long story short I'm heading to Australia next year for a WH Visa and want to sell one of the road bikes to get up some cash....

    My higher spec bike (Alu with full 105) is a Cube I bought second hand which has some marks and scrapes, while my other is a Felt (Alu, old Tiagra and non-brand components) that i bought new. The Felt frame is my preferred one to keep, given its in almost new condition since I'm the only owner from new and I prefer the geometry.

    I plan to keep the Felt but swap all the components from the Cube (including wheels and cassette) to it. So it would be:

    Wheels
    Cassette
    Chain
    Chainset
    Both derailleurs
    Bottom bracket​
    Brake calipers
    Shifters

    Obviously new cables and tape would be needed for both.

    Can anyone recommend someone near Tallaght/South Dublin? Got quoted €250 from one place so far.

    Thanks.

    087 998 3505 Cathal runs a mobile bike service biz outta Clondalkin and I can't imagine he'd charge anything like that based on my experience.
    Worth a call. The pick up and drop off is convenience-gold

    Another mobile guy (and also a Cathal) is the Spokesman.He has a few set times and locations but also does collections and drop offs. As above, I feel he under charges me at times.
