Yes it does,loads,! Cheers for the reply. Abaca

Hi all Looking for the above, preferably in aluminium if that's possible,colour doesn't really matter either. Many thanks Abaca

Hi all Trying to get my single speed back into working order again. Came across these in the shed and had a couple of wee questions? One pair has slightly longer fixing bolts than the other, is this normal for v brakes or have I just got a weird batch? The difference is only a few mm but I...

Would you consider posting the frame, thanks

Hi Trying to fix up an old Falcon road bike and I'm looking for a 700c rear wheel with a screw on freewheel,going to to try and keep it original and run it as a 12 speed. The only wheels I have seen so far cost triple what the bike cost. Thanks

Yeah LBS checked it and it's fine. What's not fine is the bottom bracket is cross threaded! There going to try and fix it next week but if they can't it looks like it's for the scrap. Oh and it looks like it initially ran on 27 inch wheels not 700,I'm told this means short drop calipers and...

Hi IV been searching but to no avail,I picked up a Falcon road bike Racer 12 but I can't find any information on this bike apart from I believe there was a Team Banana version of it but the specs look different. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13VimzC ... p=drivesdk Has a Reynolds 500...

I might just take it to the LBS to be sure,its a mare to fit it in. I'm not too fussed about having a QR ,bikes going to be used to commute so anything that makes it harder for the buggers to nick is a good thing in my book. I'll let you all know what they say. Thanks for all your replies.

I measured the drop outs,not sure if I did it right. Measured on the outside of the forks Rear 134 mm Front 100mm What's my options here if it's unsafe? Can I replace it with a solid axle? I'll need to measure the gap in the drop outs. Also just noticed the front wheel ain't true! Last...

Yeah that's what I thought as well,I know the qr will compress the forks but it just seems odd to me.

Phew that's a relief! I was imagining cycling and both my wheels popping off! Thanks

Thanks,I'll need to get measuring. Can you tell by eye if these look Uber short to you? I'm starting to suspect the fella just chucked them to up his chances of getting the bike sold. Cheers

Hi Purchased a bike with the rear mech attached like this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yW9Z ... p=drivesdk Guy I bought from said I need a hanger for the mech but he couldn't find one to fit. Anyone shed some light on the correct part?? I think the bike is late 80's though I can't find...

Hi I purchased a bike but I'm confused as there's very little of the wheel axle sitting in the forks, honestly it's looks dangerous but I'm not used to quick release wheels so maybe I'm overreacting. Appreciate your thoughts. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yW9Z ... p=drivesdk...
