I'm on V-brakes mate. Although I'm assuming the width between the cantilever pivots used to be a lot wider on older bikes. As my V-brakes seem to be very 'pinched', was this to accommodate the 1"+ rim width...? I've emailed that other supplier in the U.S. No shipping to the UK. Keep looking...

dablk Thats exactly what I'll need! I've emailed them for a shipping quote. Cheers.

Cheers bud, the only shame there, is I'll lose the matching coloured forks... Thanks for your reply!

Hi guys/girls. I have an old Raliegh Lizzard which I'm runnung single speed and slicks as a commuter bike. I want to fit a stem with a longer reach and steeper angle. I assumed my stem size was a 1" but when I measure it, its showing 21.1. According to wiki/google thats 'old American bike...

I know, I've seen that ad, I really want the bike, but not sure I'd travel to Dublin and pay that much for one... Cheers for the heads up though!

What are the chances your still gonna have this bike...?

Legs and ass have earnt me the nickname 'J-Lo' so the gearing isn't concerning me too much at the moment, but it's all very early days.. I've only had the bike a day so it's all very new. I've just had a look at the forks using the MK1 eye-ball. I can't detect any major bendiness? I cant see...

Hi Guys, 1st post! This is my new Raleigh Lizard. It's a usual story, had one when I was younger, want one again... Sorry if you are a 'keep it original' enthusiast, but I've already started changing it to suit its future duties as a daily 5.5mile canal tow path commute. It's pictured with...
