Supposedly so, I can't find out much information on them except a how to adjust them page on instructables. https://www.instructables.com/Strange-Brakes-by-StrangeCycles-Installation-and-A/ They work very weird with the cable pivot and the cable anchor on the same arm, pulling the link arm...

I've been caught out twice now with selling when the 80% off hasn't been applied even though I've accepted the offer. Next time I use it, I'm going to screen shot the offer email, and the acceptance screen, so I've got the evidence to prove 👍

Nope, I'd never heard of one before either. There I was minding my own business whilst touring around Europe, in a campervan mind, thinking that I really wish I'd brought a bike, but what bike could I bring that was nice to ride, but understated and not attractive to theft. I started thinking...

I believe this is a Lancaster - the seller hasn't any idea I was interested until I saw the top tube damage next to the seat clamp...

That's lovely, much nicer than mine that was pulled out of a hedge!

Wow - it was meant to be 😎

Thanks for the info, I made the decision yesterday not to bother, after I couldn't find the colour scheme as a factory scheme and maybe something put together, it no longer floated my boat, especially considering it's something in steel I'd prefer.

Thank you, a replacement frame makes sense. I'm still thinking about it, just finished my nightshift, so I'll sleep on it

Guys, I've seen this fairly local to me and I've been trying to ID it. I'm thinking around 1993/1994 but can't fully identify the year or the model. It's got canti's, so pre '95, but straight blade headshok forks so post' 92. I think it may have an xt rear mech, could be rapid fire...

this was my favourite advert from back in the day

At least they mention in the description that it needs a replacement fork, but why, especially as they look like they are professional sellers, do they use blurry photographs, it annoys the hell out of me when sellers can't even put on a decent set of pictures

I use Mobil Mobilgrease XHP 222 as recommended by Hope

I know, but it was just so weird 😂

Well, I went over to have a better look at it today and have a quick blast on it. But, riding it was quite something the back end is really short and I ran over my own foot several times until I got the hang of it, then the street is excessively cambered so it just kept wanting to follow...

I don't know if anyone saw it recently, but there was another Longstaff trike for sale on ebay recently that was dripping in retro gear, Pace RC36's, XT mechs, mavic rims, smoke tyres and hope mechanical disc's on the rear. Well, my mate bought it as he's been after a trike for a while, and it...
