Im in Ireland and pre brexit I traded weekly and happily with a lot on here and on ebay and in uk shops etc with absolutely zero issues. I had a virtual address in Northern Ireland so effectively it cost me the same in post for something sent to Ireland as it did to anywhere else in the UK. Post...

A Tiger 90 bikini bath tub would be £4,500-£5000 currently.

Fantastic hubs.I had 2 sets of the earlier(freewheel) Paris Gao Dakar hubs on M7CD rims.Easily the strongest(and one of the heaviest) wheelsets I have ever ridden.Could you put a Dremel to a cassette and get it to fit?

These would be ideal if you could wait a couple of...

Sorted thanks.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

I have a 95 American Eagle Concorde Big Bear with a double butted Tange frame and Ritchey dropouts,its a nice bike.They were a Dutch brand that used the "American"moniker to drum up sales as people gravitated to U.S. brands.Caroline Alexander was a factory rider in 1999 so there is an olympic...
