Thanks for all the advice about cycling the c2c. Did it last week in 3.5 days on my lovely old c16r rigid single speed with a mate on a 2000 mount vision. I spent the first day wishing I had gears and bouncy bits but after that it was fine. How I laughed when people said the main problem was...

I haven't done anything ridiculous for a little while now so I was thinking about trying the coast to coast up north but I have several reservations. Namely... - My bike. Its a 95(ish) C16r (seasick Tina) with rather lovely f7 rigid forks. Rigid bike versus rocks? - My gears. I've only got one...

Hullo, Got a black Whyte stem. 100m 7degree rise. For normal sized handle bars (whats that 25mm ish) not the new massive ones. Hardly used as I am too tiny to fit on a bike with a stem that long! £10 posted. Will swap for 40-80 mm stem.

Got a 19" and 21" Raliegh Maverick frame wanting a new home. They are the bullet grey with yellow decals and I believe where the very first mtbs raliegh ever made (???). I can chuck in most of the geary bits and wheels. The 19" comes free with a Dlock helpfully bolted through the frame (does not...

I have a pretty good twenty going for free. It has all the usual bits 3spd hub, hub dynamo, big 20" wheels (not BMX size) Works OK but will need new tyres and inner tubes soon. Non folding. Mr Sheldon Brown himself reckoned they were prime for conversion into compact road bikes for the...

For sale: One shiny, lovely Whyte JW 4 frame forks and assorted bits that are bolted on to it. Its a fantstic bike and looks like the sort of thing a storm trooper would ride! Don't know if it technically counts as retro (what with looking like pure sciencefiction) but it is a 2003 model. It...

I have inherited two 80's (original I think) Mavericks. They have note been ridden much but have been left in the rain for about twenty years by the look, so bearings, chains and tyres are all knackered. Might be good projects or spares. All original kit. They have some funky suntour gears...
