I asked for a Hope bb to be fitted to my bike and the shop has fitted a ceramic one instead of a stainless without asking ( i assumed they would of fitted a stainless one) and are charging me £140 ; 110 for the bb, 15 for the gxp adaptor and 15 labour.

Just scouting on the net and £110 is a lot for the bb.

Any ideas on what I should do? I waiting on a call from the bike shop boss to discuss further but hopefully some has had a similar experience and advise on what to do?

This week I decided to convert the ISIS setup to a square tapered one.

Chained the BB and the chainring, was assembling everything when I noticed that the pedal would just screw in endlessly on the left side :(

I'm a student and money is tight but would love to buy just a left arm crank, or another similar 172.5 left arm crank.

Thanks in advance.

PS: Have you ever had a crank helicoiled in London?

They're all odd but there are a couple that could almost be a set, both of these for £12..
All work fine as far as I know, otherwise I would've binned them..
Got a few spare tires as well that ill give away for free if you need them.

2 of the rear ones are quick release rm40 hubs (7 speed freehub for a cassette) and one is for a solid axle freewheel..

Rims are a mix of rigida weinmann alesa and some Portuguese one that I can't remember the name of.. 'Mach' maybe?

I need to find a new seat post for it, but I am not sure what size I would need to buy... Can anyone advise what size I should buy?

This may help determine which model it is: It features a sticker '1977 1978 Tour de France Winners / Team T.I Raleigh / UCI World Road Champion 1978' on it.

Front only needed but will always consider a pair.
Quite happy to service bearings and clean and polish and true but must be the shiny one to finish off the bling on the build.
