Hello everyone
Ive been cycling for only about 5 months
So I'm really not clued up. I have a trek 7.3 bought new. And a sabbath road bike bought used 1 month ago bit of an expensive mistake. I am selling it as I don't get on with road bikes. And will probably sell my trek too to get a better used hybrid. I only do 14miles to work
My question is seeing as I'm selling the sabbath is wether or not it has been tampered with. As it's only now that I'm selling that I've realised that crank is ultegra with shifters too and dérailleur and brakes are 105. Is that original to have mixed models? I have written to sabbath but had no answer
Also ion another note. The gears skip in the middle. I have to click again for it to select that gear. I was told it was the cassette or chain. Could this be true or just an adjustment?
Cheers

As for gears skipping, it could be wear mismatch between cassette and chain although I'd expect it to occur across the cassette or it could be alignment. Without the opportunity to tinker with it it's hard to be certain.
BTW, what Sabbath are you selling?
Paranoid, original 1970 vinyl
If you do want it all the same as its older stuff it's all available second hand for pennies - whack it on, new cables, set it up so it works, job jobbed. Tidy.

Recognition at last Matthew, well done!, a justified honour
I missed your post.
Yeah I have bought an ultegra 10 speed derailleur all ready. As you said it's possibly best to get it all working.
He's saying it's skipping in the middle, so it's probably not in good playable condition..... lol
You may also be dealing with a bike that someone bought frameset only and built up themselves.
Mix manufacturer components with little risk of issues. I even mix Shimano brakes with my SRAM groupset, simply because SRAM don't make direct mount brakes and Shimano do.
