Thanks chap. Bit fruity on the price for a bike which won't be used much - help appreciated though. Ended up buying a pair of Schwalbe Lugano 700/23C's.

I'm renovating my father's Sirocco, which is rocking it's original Vredestein amberwall 28x3/4 tyres. It looks like the modern equivalent is 700x20C. Tyres in this size, which aren't slicks seem few and far between. Will 700x23C fit easily? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Re: I've bought myself a 1977 Solitaire Twenty and plan on fitting mags, similar to the one in the photo. However, the width option for tyres look fairly limited owing to the fairly narrow forks. I want to keep the original forks ideally - anyone got any ideas what sort of width 20" tyres I...

Yeah have my eyes peeled!

That's frame only assume? I'm after a whole bike ;)

Around 25" I think - something for a 5ft 9" rider (myself).

As above, medium (ish) sized frame ideally, and seller who is prepared to post (nowhere seems to be near Cornwall!) Thanks

Thanks for the link. However, at £220 Buy-it-now and the worst advert ever, I think I'll give it a miss!

Only spotted your reply a couple of hours ago; I tried getting hold of the seller to see if I could organise a courier, but didn't get a reply back unfortunately. Great link though. Will keep looking...

Sorry, only just spotted your reply. I'm 5'9", so I guess your frame would be too big....

After chatting with my bro this evening, looks like I may now have someone local who could sort this. Will definitely keep you in mind if it doesn't work out though. Cheers!

I'm in St Austell. Interested in a little project?!

That sounds fantastic. Going to ask around-just need to find a bike friendly fabricator in Cornwall now! Cheers!

How does this work? Like the sound of this...

Bugger! Looks like I'll be looking for a new frame then... :cry: Don't suppose you have any more Mantra frames?! ;) * Goes off to wanted threads to post an ask for bike/ frame in Cornwall.
