Only used on for a 2 week tour while my Sram shifters were being fixed, so they're in good condition, just a couple of small scuff marks.

I'll take some tomorrow!

Not STI's, but I've got a set of Shimano 9-speed bar end shifters and some Cane Creek brakes gathering dust in my spares box if you're interested? I don't want much for them and I'm also Bristol based (going off your profile) so let me know if they'd be any good to you!

Mine's the Alfine S-501 model. I don't really know the exact differences, but they're still cheaper than the SP/Schmidt ones so I went for the top one, about £75 on Rose Bikes. I think it's slightly lighter and has better seals. It's been running over 18 months with no issues, both touring and commu...

The cycle 2 charge top cap is absolutely vaguely exciting. Used mine for the first proper go last weekend and it's way better than my old USB-werk. I'm running a shimano dynamo and b&m front light with it.
