    Brand New KVA Stainless Steel Road Bike & Frame, 54cm &a

    I am selling a bike and a frame. I wouldn't normally post something like this on here, but I noticed interest in Stainless Steel on here a while ago, so thought it may be of interest. I'm asking £2200 for the bike, but will come down for retrobike people as it's served me well in the past...

    Couple of retro books!

    Having a clearout and instead of giving these to the charity shop, I thought I may as well see if anyone wants them here first. The Ultimate Mountain Bike Book by Nicky Crowther Lots of great pics of retro bikes, and covers everything from bike setup to touring routes, to techniques...

    FiR IMPES 192 rims

    Same old story, never got around to using these and now have different plans. They are one pair of FiR IMPES 192. One is 32h & one is 36h ~480g each good braking surfaces, hardly worn decals all intact Good strong rims, renowned for their strength and stiffness. Apparently it's best to...

    P7 Frame, forks + headset 17" SOLD

    I bought these a few months ago, but the usual story - plans changed and other things now take priority. It's a 17" 1995 P7, all the decals have been removed ready for frame refurb. There are a couple of areas with rust patches where the usual lacquer has worn away, but only minor surface...

    XT M737 Hubs, as NOS *SOLD*

    I have a set of FH-M737 and HB-M737 hubs not being used (someone owed me so I took these for a build which never happened). I'd say they look like they've had about 5 miles of use, but they have obviously never been laced, so I guess that means they've picked up a tiny mark or 2 in a box...

    Dean Sputnik?

    Anyone know much about these? It seems they only did the original ones in 1997 but then changed them for a 2001 edition softail. It's odd that a cabon bike of that era wasn't a top of the range rocket, but being Dean, it looks as though they didn't want to offer something above their ti range...

    Mountain Cycle experts

    I have a bit of a love of Mountain Cycles, and I know a few here do too. After keeping an eye out for a MOHO for a while, this one pops up on ebay USA. I am interested in it anyway but a few things don't add up. See if you agree with me! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0774645935...

    New frames, old school style

    There was a thread discussing this but I can't find it now and probably better to start another one anyway. What do people think of potentially buying a brand new handbuilt frame but it old school geometry and finishes? Doesn't even have to be old geo actually. Could be designed around a...

    Mountain Cycle MOHO

    After losing one and regretting selling another frame, I need to put some effort into getting one built back up again for me to love. I'm quite flexible, and may even be tempted with a CXS, but ideally an STS. I'll probably eventually end up building 2 - one as a lightweight modern build to...

    Anyone here got a new San Andreas from ebay today?!

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220874506220? ... 1438.l2649 I was watching this and know the shop selling it a little, but they wouldn't give in for me to take it off their hands! Anyway, the frame has been intriguing me. It's obviously a pretty early San Andreas but anyone know anything about...

    Mountain Cycle MHO STS frame resprayed

    Thanks sooo much to MikeD, I have a new MHO frame to play with. I don't want to build a bike at the moment for a few reasons, plus it has a small crack around the cable hangers which is a potential failure point, but I love these frames so much, I just wanted it nice and to have it on the wall...

    Mountain Cycle MOHO STS hardtail frame

    After having all my bikes nicked, I thought now would be the chance for a fresh start with a shiny new set of bikes, but after looking around, there really isn't anything that makes my heart skip a beat like my old Mountain Cycle, so I think I need to build up another one! I know there are a...
