I wrote my bike off yesterday, but some of the parts are really new. Off the top of my head:

SRAM PC850 chain (been out with it twice)
Full set of threadless Vbrakes (replaced at same time as chain)
Shimano Revoshift 6speed shifters

Is there a market for any of these, or should I just chuck the whole lot? I've no use for any of them because my next bike will have discs brakes and a 9speed drivetrain.

    Hard to say really... but stick them in the classifieds here, or on retrobike and if you don't get any response there then try them on ebay... you knever know, there might be someone out there looking for what you've got :D

    I stripped an entire bike down and only have the bars and cassette left. Sold the lot in 10 days on ebay. Well worth it to get some cash back.

    Sold quite a lot of 2nd hand bits on ebay they usually go for more than I expect. I got £30 for a full set of Shimano 6 speed, gear mechs, shifters, chainset and cables only expected a tenner at most.

    Just give everything a damn good clean and polish before you take photos nobody will buy stuff covered in cack.

    Definitely Ebay.... :D

    I need various bike bits (not those sadly!) and am happy to buy second hand, and there must be lots of people like me!
