Kooka seatpost. Have you sold that very sexy post yet? If not please let me know, it would look great with my rasta cranks!

If anyone decides they want to stay in front of the fire then this late comer would be happy to come for a ride!

I'm considering splitting a bike that has full suntour XC, not microdrive though. It's a mix of XC Pro and XC comp. I have NOS cantis, both front and also the Self energising rears. The rest of the group set is used but in pretty good condition except the Rear mech which recently lost a jockey...

Seems like a stupid question to me. If you're riding up and down hills all day then single speed is stupid. I've just put a 7 block on my SS because my knees are objecting too!

Hi Chaps, I'm after a 38T 94BCD 5 Bolt chainring. It's going on my "piss about super retro funky" bike so it will be the only chainring so I want something strong with no ramps. If you've got something kicking about that's pretty new looking and ready to ride please let me know. I've got...

To be honest I've found that the riding I'm doing on this bike means that I don't always want to be clipped in so really want flat pedals. I've heard good things about speedplay in the past so I might give them a go on a road bike in te future.

Best grip/shape - Easton cully / flatboy (cullys are nicest though) 570/600g Middle weight middle grippyness > Shimano MX 30's (530g) Low weight but still grippy > Wellgo MG1's (380g) Christ those Easton Cullys are pricey! I thought flat pedals would be cheaper than spuds!

I'm looking for some pedals for my not too retro Santa Cruz Superlight. I would usually use SPDs but my right knee is giving me gip so I think flat pedals would be the best option. Since pedals are such a dull piece of a bike and I've always used SPDs I've got no idea what to get. Every time I...

Pair of Wheels. Hand Built. XTR M960 Hubs and XC717 Ceramic rims. Not sure what the spokes are but they are silver and double butted. Will also include matching Ti XTR Skewers!!!!!!! Excellent condition, runs true, Hubs super smooth and very little ware on braking surface. Only road and very...

No, and I can't blame anybody except me or that. I think I can speak for a lot of people who use ebay that when you see a power seller with 13000 + feedback you just presume they are reputable and will deliver. If only I had typed "number1bikebits" into google first! Go on, it's a laugh...

Not sure if this is the right forum for this post or if a mods going to get upset but I thought that it was my responsibility to let anyone who doesn't already know aware of just how angry this shop can make you!!! :evil: I Bought some bits from number1bikebits on eBay and guess what? –...

I knew I should have had it off you a few months ago! Good luck with the sale though!

I'm the guy with the pink cables on my Explofif :shock: They're not retro but I don't care. They are Jagwire cables which are meant to be very good quality and come with plastic sleeves to stop water getting in and the bare cable rubbing against beautiful retro paintwork! Pretty sure they...

This happens all the time, I find I have to search for something a lot of the time. Bit annoying but not as annoying as PayPal when it decides it wants to have problems!
