Still here. Someone must have a spot in their workshop for this awesome poster?

Still available.

Still got this lot - I’d take £47 posted.

These shots give a better impression of how the bars ‘sit’.

Not nearly as tight as I’d anticipated, having previously failed to get a Syncros riser bar through the clamp. The bend itself isn’t too tight, so with the aid of a flat head screw driver to hold the clamp open it worked out fine, without scratching the bar at all.

Yes, it’s an early non-hinged Syncros. I’ve been meaning to touch up the decals. The bars are new Nitto-made Bassi Bobby Bar - perhaps not for the purists out there but the extra width and sweep work really nicely for me.

My ‘93 Equipe with custom Argos paint and @gil_m ’94 decals.

I'm afraid these sold some time ago. I do have a lovely pair of made in Japan Swans from a similar era for sale on 'another site' though (and only £25); https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286661668803

Ride the bikes I’ve got… specifically; take the Pioneer on an extended off road tour - possibly the King Alfred’s Way. Failed to take the Pioneer out on that tour and still haven't done the King Alfred's Way, but I did ride my bikes more this year, particularly the Rocky Mountain for some...

Sooo glad it's too small for me... GLWS

Hi all, I’m potentially in the market for a step through frame that will take 26” wheels - on the larger side so 19/20” equivalent. I know Muddy Fox made a ‘ladies’ version of the Courier, wondering what else is out there. Would certainly consider a Thorn or even an Orbit - not necessarily...

This sold literally just today via another platform, I’ll update the thread now. After having been listed for months there was an odd flurry of interest this weekend, with offers, an eventual sale and now this thread revive…

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...

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...

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