Hi Got a set of Manitou Comp’s which have always worked perfectly until recently when they started to compress fully but not return. Stripped them down and noticed the bottom out bushes were more like foam than elastomers so ordered an elastomer and dust seal kit from eBay. I’m pretty certain...

Hi My brother is after a bike to accompany me up on the South Downs. I have a 93 Clockwork with Manitou's, so something along these lines. He is 5ft9 so I think a 17" with a bit of post should be fine, but would consider a little difference either way. Preferably located somewhere in the...

Hi After a good condition 1” threaded XT Headset Thanks Alex

Made a separate post as I really need a Deore LX M566 (or other deore of same period) bottom pull front derallieur for 28.6mm seat tube outer diameter. Thanks Alex

Hi Hope everyone is keeping well considering. Time at home has meant I have dug an old project 1993 Clockwork out of the loft and started piecing it back together. After the following parts to finish.... 1. A 26.8mm post, must be black, straight and at least 320mm long. Would like a Tioga...

As per title. After a set of working 1” Ahead threadless suspension forks, would prefer for canti’s but can swap to V-brakes for the right fork set. Not hugely fussed about condition as long as they are fully functional. Thanks Alex

Hi I'm after a black Shimano Deore 1" threaded headset in good rider condition with decals/logo in good shape too. Would prefer an LX headset but would also take an XT one. Thanks Alex

Started a new project so thought I would document it here. Having made it my whole life never owning a bike with more than more than one gear, a house purchase on the foot of the South Downs inspired me to get out exploring so I joined here and purchased an Orange C16R back in 2014. This one in...

Hi With a new project on the way I'm on the look out for some purple or orange Anodised 'dress up' parts e.g. skewers, canti bolts, canti hanger, seat bolt, ring bolts, cage bolts, etc. Also after purple jockey wheels for a Deore LX rear mech Thanks in advance Alex

Hi My trusty restored 17" C16R frame is starting to rust from the inside out and I suspect a crack in the bottom bracket, sad times! Looking to replace with a 16" or 17" hardtail frame (preferably 1" threaded) so I can swap Manitou forks over. Or would consider a frame/fork combo in any size...

Hi I’m looking for Deore XT M737/M738 to work with cantilever brakes and 8x3 gearing. Not sure if they come in different finishes but after all or mostly black. Also need to be functioning and in good condition. Let me know if you have any up for grabs Cheers Alex

Evening, I’m not massively clued up on shimano groupsets, I have done some research but keep getting conflicting numbers. If i’m running canti’s which XT levers/shifters will work best? Are 739’s suitable or are these tailored more for V-brakes? Pretty sure that brake levers are specific to...

Hi I'm looking for a 1" quill stem to suit a C16R would ideally want an original Orange Stalk stem or would also consider others e.g. Tioga. Must be in good shape and in black only! Cheers

Hi The wife is looking to join me on some ride outs and so I'm in the market for a complete bike or part complete project. She is 5ft7 ish so a 16" frame would be good, or would consider an inch either way. Being only a little taller than her, I will also likely borrow 'her' bike for myself...

Morning! Now I know that a black cassette wont stay black for ever but I want to add one to my new wheel set. It is destined for a Deore LX M550 hub and ideally needs to be 7 or 8 speed. Keeping it Shimano I have found this one and not many others..... https://www.bikester.co.uk/shimano-cs-h...

Evening Looking for a pair of black Deore M510 QR skewers 100mm/135mm if anyone has a pair in their spares box? Cheers Alex

Rather than measure I read up on the internet and didn't come out so good. Trying to fit my shiney new Tioga T-Bone 26.8mm post into my 1994 Orange C16R which I believe is 29.8mm? I have a shim but have deduced it must be 26.4 as my new post isn't going in at all and I have clearly tried, so...

Hi Wondered if anyone knew if Campagnolo BB cups from the old record cup an cone BB's are all the same. I know the record and nuovo record are different and they come in different threads and thick and thin walls but is a Strada cup the same as a Pista, etc? Thanks Alex

Hi Last parts I need for my build are as follows; ◦Campagnolo 1/8" 48T or 49T chainring with 144BCD ◦Campagnolo Record BB cup for drive side, English thread and thin wall. Anyone that can help let me know. Thanks Alex

Hi I'm after a shorter stem, looking for 1" Quill Stem in 90mm or100mm length with 25.4 clamp and no cable guides. It's to go with an Orange so would prefer original Orange stem or an aftermarket brand. Also after good condition or NOS 26" Skinwall/Amberwall tyres between 1.90" and 2.10" Let...
