Anyone interested in frame / forks or complete bike. Need to raise some funds for a fat bike :(. Sorry ££350 complete ? I'm rubbish at selling things.

Hi guys. Trying to figure out if it's possible to get shimano 105 11 speed shifters to index correctly with a mtb 11 speed cassette and mtb rear mech. I've read this link and I'm figuring they won't work but hoping they will. http://blog.artscyclery.com/science-beh ... atibility/ Thanks in...

I'm considering an early b17 as a project build but I'm struggling with frame specs / geometry. The '98 and '99 I've seed advertised as having 6" of travel and I believe the swing arms were 40mm longer than the '97 mount vision I'm riding ATM. The 2000 model I've seen advertised as having less...

I'm trying to get some prices to ship a frame to Canada and so far very little help. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Who to mail / phone. Thanks in advance. Lee

Looking to sell my killi. Hand braised prestige frame. It's not original paint and the rear has been modded for 135mm, disc clearance and 2.35 tyres. Re painted in white but not got around to getting the disc mount braised on. Been riding it for the last few months and enjoying it but my mate...

Having not ridden my 97 MV for a while since I've bee putting some miles in on a modern 29er I took the old MV for a blast expecting to be disappointed. Totally fallen in love with it again. I loved the 29er but there's no way I'd swap the MV for it Trails have changed a lot since the 90's...

Hi guys, just ploughed through one companies list of headsets without much luck. Can anyone recommend a tidy 1" ahead set and a 1" threaded head set that won't break the bank. A head is for the mtb. Threaded is for a roadie. Thanks Lee.

Hi guys, I'm aware levers for cantis won't work with v brakes but what levers are needed for cable discs? Do road bike sti levers work with caliper and canti and cable discs. Thanks in advance. Lee

Hi guys, is it as simple as fitting an 8 speed free hub and 8 speed cassette to a 7 speed hub. To convert or is there other issues. Thanks in advance Lee

Mavic Gp4's with mavic hubs. I'm guessing at £120 Ono. I would ideally like to swap or px either way for a tidy set of clinchers. Don't be afraid to educate me on pricing as I've been out of the road bike world for too long. Cheers Lee. 07977 765 818.

From this to..... This.

I'm back riding my '96 mount vision and I'm did new pads. Be really great full for some advise on good odd for the xt v brakes. ATM I'm riding in cold wet conditions but would be great full as to what works come summer too. Thanks in advance Lee

Anyone have any info or history in this frame. Not sure of it's age or whether it's worth building up as a retro. It's full 531 and Roy Thame, putney but that's all I know. Thanks in advance. Lee

As it says above. I'm looking for a rear swing arm for my '96 mount vision preferably with disc mounts but would consider anything really. What's out there? Cheers lee.

Hi guys, been looking for an axle repair kit for an XT FH m-756 rear hub without much success. I've found the odd cone for sale but they work out a bit expensive buy the time you add up the bits it will cost more than a new hub. Where's best place for bits like this. Cheers lee.

Am I right that 9 sp hub is the same as 8sp but the indexing is different. So going from 8 - 9 I'd need the block and the shifters and the chain ? What about the front chain rings? Also are there 2 different types of 9 speed to look out for. Thanks lee.

I've decided to build up my '89 killi flyer and I can remember there being an issue with the back wheel spacing. The wheel from the 97 marin fits but is off set to the left slightly. I remember years ago re setting the wheel to suit but this time I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing...

I'm looking for a good mavic 221. 32. Hole 26" in silver or advice as to where to start looking. Both local bike shops have drawn a blank. Found a nos on eBay but it was 36 hole. Thanks in advance Lee

Hi guys. I knew my rear rim was worn but checking it earlier today and it's very very worn. Either need a nos 32 hole 26" or a modern equivalent so I don't need to swap out the spokes too. Be grateful of any advise as where to start looking. Thanks Lee. 1997 Marin mount vision.

club 80-90 forum link took me here and just wanted to say hi. rode nigh on everyday from 1983 to 1997 when i broke my neck on a kona explosive. thats another story. currently on a 1997 marin mount vision with pace rc36`s. also own a early saracen, hand braised, prestige tubed eiger in bits...
