Hi all Looking for the above, preferably in aluminium if that's possible,colour doesn't really matter either. Many thanks Abaca

Hi all Trying to get my single speed back into working order again. Came across these in the shed and had a couple of wee questions? One pair has slightly longer fixing bolts than the other, is this normal for v brakes or have I just got a weird batch? The difference is only a few mm but I...

Hi Trying to fix up an old Falcon road bike and I'm looking for a 700c rear wheel with a screw on freewheel,going to to try and keep it original and run it as a 12 speed. The only wheels I have seen so far cost triple what the bike cost. Thanks

Hi Purchased a bike with the rear mech attached like this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yW9Z ... p=drivesdk Guy I bought from said I need a hanger for the mech but he couldn't find one to fit. Anyone shed some light on the correct part?? I think the bike is late 80's though I can't find...

Hi I purchased a bike but I'm confused as there's very little of the wheel axle sitting in the forks, honestly it's looks dangerous but I'm not used to quick release wheels so maybe I'm overreacting. Appreciate your thoughts. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yW9Z ... p=drivesdk...

Hi I picked this up off gumtree for under £50, initially I thought it a bargain but there's some stuff that's concerning me. I'll detail that in a bit but for now I'll just post some pics. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yW9Z ... p=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yW9Z ...

Hi IV been asking too many questions on one post so I'll add this here separately. There is a few spots I need to touch up on my frame. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MoYEbW ... p=drivesdk What's the cheapest way to do this? My aim is to minimise the damage the rust is doing,it's a cheap...

Hi all Been really thinking about cycling to the train station,a distance of 8 miles there and back. I have scoured Gumtree religiously for an old roadie to use but they're all too far for me to travel to it too much cash. I have only £80-90 to play with but I don't mind fixing up a bike...

Hi all Just a quickie,I picked up a Viking Superstar 10 for a £5,rear wheel is bent but IV got another wheel to put on, however I don't have the right tool to remove the old freewheel. Not wanting to purchase the wrong tool and waste money. Can anyone recommend the right tool to remove...

Hi all Apologies if been asked before but what are the brand's to keep an eye out for when it comes to retro road bikes. I'm pretty clued up on MTB brand's but road bikes have me stumped and not sure what's junk and what's not. Also most of my finds require work of some kind is there any...

So iv set myself a goal of having the Raleigh lizard converted to fixed gear by Xmas. Iv been putting it off too long. Currently got frame,forks and front and rear wheel complete with slick tyres. Think my to buy list goes like this Seat post clamp(size) Chain Seat post (any help with size)...

So minus a true stand I made this out of old trampoline legs,I mentioned this in the shed thread. However trying to set up gears in this position us just a no go,so one post higher than other and it works good for the rear wheel,pedals can turn without obstruction. Gave the front a quick try but...

Bike finally all done,had a quick shot and it's a blast to ride. Used the yellow trek as a donor bike so thats sitting in a corner looking sad,need to fix that up next

Hi Just found this,I got from libary a while back,maybe some pics in it some of you guys be interested in .

Hi So first time ever using a chain tensioner and I may have ballsed it up,I put it on but the small black cage (unsure proper name) that hgoes around the jockey wheel was grinding whilst the chain was in motion so I took it off but can't figure out how it's meant to sit,its off for just now,is...

Meant to ask about these after seeing one at the recycled centre. Dint have a pic,was black in colour and looked tidy. Can't see much about them on Google,any info about them? Thanks

Hi A trip to the local recycling centre yielded this bike which I took off their off their hands for very little. Wanted a retro hardtail but wasn't having much luck finding one so this will have to do,looking forward to comparing it in the runs I take my rigid trek. Anyone supply a date for...

So feel free to shift this on the right area if need be. Always wanted to try out a hardtail and couldn't source a retro one so picked this Raleigh up for very little at the recycled centre. Any have/had one of these? Any idea if a year? Never had disk brakes or front suspension before can...
