    Wanting to avoid pitfalls of modern tyres on 90's Trek

    Panaracer Fire XC Pro 2.1 would be my recommendation, a good all-rounder in all seasons and easily available in both folding (recommended) and wire bead. I've used them on both old-school narrow rims and more modern width ones without issue. Shop around and you can find folders for as low as £22...

    Sold 1983 Raleigh Royal with a HUGE frame 64cm seat tube.! ONLY FIFTY QUID!

    Lovely bike and an absolute bargain! GLWS, if anyone is looking at this and thinking (like Skee-Lo) ‘I wish I was a little bit taller’ I have a later, 60cm 700c /canti 531st version of the Royal frameset for sale...

    Imlach's Sweaty Hippie Funk Collection, adventure bikes, rusty rats, cruisers and other alt bastardisations of bicyclery

    Given his well documented cycling related peccadilloes, I think it is fair to say he was ‘one of us’.

    For Sale 2 x classic retro jerseys Muddy Fox (Team?) + Uvex MTB Team

    I did probably let it go too cheap… so I’m assuming it was team issue jersey of some sort? I had wondered if the ‘promo 10’ on the collar area indicated if it was some sort of give away?

    All things Canadian.....

    I’ll be back in Montreal next month, as well as a stopover in Toronto (potentially Quebec City too). Any recommendations for bike shops/local beers/flea markets etc very much appreciated. Here is a Kula I spotted whilst out on a ride at the weekend - the original owner was out on a Father’s...

    Workshop/Workspace... Show us yours!

    We have a shed which a previous owner had insulated this way - it certainly makes it usable for more of the year. However you need to be careful to avoid an issue I’ve been dealing with - the insulated void between the exterior slats and interior panelling trapping moisture and causing the shed...

    Lovely bike, but what’s going on with all these Pioneer owners selling up? The stem is a thing of beauty - please tag me if that comes up for sale. GLWS

    For Sale MAFAC Centre Pull / 'Racer' + GOLD drilled levers

    Complete Mafac braking set up - lovely gold drillium levers, adjusters present with excellent hoods - I suspect with a tiny bit of olive oil they would look new. You'll need to supply clamps. The centre pulls are a bit grubby but function perfectly, Koolstop pads are more than usable. comes...

    For Sale XT m737 cantilevers w/ Koolstop + Dia Compe levers

    Up for sale is a lovely full braking set-up - will probably regret letting these go, but with no current projects and no future plans for another bike with cantis it's time for someone else to make use of them. A pair of perfect working order XT m737 cantilevers - my favourite cantilever arms...

    I'm afraid you were pipped to the post by @raidan73 had I known there were so many MF fans out there I probably should have priced it higher...
