Hi All, Thought I would do a quick post detailing my newest aquisition. I was chatting to a colleague the other week who said that his Dad used to cycle years ago so much so that his Dad, when coming out of the forces, bought himself a present, a Raleigh Record Ace Moderne. I said to him...

Getting excited now, frame is ready for shotblasting and powdercoating. Hopefully next week!! I have removed the pannier/mudguard eyes from the dropouts, removed the top tube cable guide and noodle around the seatpost as i am running v-brakes. It will be powdercoated in glacier white with...

Hi I have recently dismantled my mountain bike in preparation for a good powdercoating however i dont have the Shimano Tool required to remove the normal sealed Shimano bottom bracket. Would anyone be kind enough to lend one to me to use and return once finished with? I have checked out...

Can anyone tell me what this GT Frame is (should be a picture on this post!!), when did GT start with replaceable rear hangers and where can i get a rear hanger from? Early 90's Aluminium Frame, u-brake or cantis? Cheers. I have been after one for a while but now fear i wont be able to get...

At last i am back in the saddle after 12 years out of it and regretting it. I have finally got of my lazy arse and bought another bike. A retro, about 1993, maybe earlier, Holdsworth Professional 531 tubed road bike with a full Shimano 105 Groupo rare nowadays i gather. I am amazed at the...
