conquest?

i aint no hobbit

its a pashley guvnor with a charge stem, DMR pedals, bars off a liv flourish, a B67, and a maneville caddie rack. its blue, which i guess means it was a special order, and it cost me less than the rack and pedals retail for. hated it when i got it, but i'm starting to like it now, despite being...

What? A Saracen Sahara Elite, looks to be a 1992, full Tange frame, Deore DX bits, etc. Where? Geographically in Huddersfield; online at the ebay link I posted.

yeah well if someone wants to volunteer... if not have at it

i'd have this in a heartbeat if i wasnt in londn :/...

yeah ive always been sceptical of some of the stuff folk say about frame materials, esp as my aluminium kona rides so much nicer than the cromo one i had, but this does seem to back it up :/. i'll see if i can find a couple of smooth-ish tyres to put on it and see how it rides, and if it's no...

picked one up to do a bmx bar conversion but honestly it feels kinda dead and now i'm not sure it's worth effort. sure it has old tyres, but it feels like it's more than that - it's like a steamroller. fwiw i'm not used to super light springy bikes, my dailies are a guvnor and an ally kona...

back when i used to run my basic formula was taste x or roughly equal to bpm. which for the most part mean grimes or fucked up. these days who knows - cadence =/= foot-heel/toe strikes. i suggest hitting random and seeing what vibes

is hi-ten really pig iron? and besides i thought the cool kids were all strapping sleeping bags to their bottle mounts these days? i guess im trying to talk my way out of buying a bike i really dont need advertising? there's one near me on ebay for 65 that looks a bit rough, another in enfield...

lots around at moment, from 50 for a shitter to 90 for a minter. to my eyes they look pretty good value, rear hub alone is worth 50 notes (to someone looking for one). i fancy sticking some bmx bars and a sprung saddle on one. obv i don't need one, i have a bunch of bikes all of which do the...

sorry no. when i was there any frame building was done in the workshop at the back, but that was in the 80s and it was Ted (the second owner's son) just doing the occasional build

i dont remember the 20mhz race, only the street/trail, the darkcyde and the other funky superlight one w the euro bb
