One of my dream bikes is for sale ,...damn!

On eBay right now,..one of my dream bikes is for sale.
If I wasn't building the Yo Eddy right now i would not hesitate and make Bill a good offer,..
Unfortunately I made a deal with my bank account that I wouldn't buy any more projects/frames this year so; great frame, nice price, wrong time ! :(

Why does this always happen,...i even considered selling /trading the Yo for the Ti Fat with Bill but i can not get it over my heart to say goodbye to the Yo, it is just to god damn beautiful,.... i know for sure that i would regret this so i hold on the the Yo and my time will come regarding the Ti Fat,...

You tell me!

I am going to this the other way around
Not going to put a wanted list here,..you tell me what I should look for.
I have a Yo to finish and still need some parts but I am open to offers for other parts then the parts i have right now or still need, so it is up to you to convince me that I need the part you want to sell me.

What I would like is
- Part you want to sell me
- Price you are asking posted to the Netherlands
- Which part you would like to replace
- Picture and description (condition; something/10)
- Motivation

Surprise me with your offers ;)

Middleburm Ti Self extracting crank bolts

Some things are so simple but so handy!
Received some Titanium Middleburn self extracting crank bolts,..21 grams

looks great,..works even better

Gold self extracting crank bolts

The cleaning and maintenance of a bike chainset is essential to keeping the best possible shifting performance. In addition, standing dirt and grit on the bottom bracket penetrates seals far faster than if it were given a swift clean at the end of a winters day ride.

This simple level of maintenance can never be as comprehensive as it should be without removing your cranks with a crank extract tool - or a pair of Middleburn self-extract bolts.

With our self-extract bolts all that is required is a 6mm allen key - simple. Anti friction washers ensure minimum effort is required. With the bolt sets available in a range of colours they also provide you with the finishing touch to any bike.
