The Lava Dome name has been around since at least 1990. Post a pic of the decals and paint and someone will be able to date it for you.

I have a matching set of AKAI seperates and speakers that I got from a charity shop for £20. The belts need replacing in the cassette deck, I'm kind of scared to start taking it apart but I'd rather get it working than replace it with something that doesn't match.

Wanted: 4" to 6" rise cruiser style bars, Fairdale MX-4, MX-6 or similar. I'm after 2 potentially. Top loading BMX stems, 1x quill and 1x clamp on. Condition not too important, I'd rather something I can tidy up than NOS expensive stuff. Let me know what you have. Thanks

Fantastic build! I have a 2000 Lava Dome which I'm thinking of using as a tourer but I'll be keeping it scruffy so I'm a little less worried about lugging it on and off trains, leaving it locked up etc. Plus knowing my luck if I spent time and money on giving the frame a lovely paint job a huge...

I still have the 1997 Kona Cinder Cone that I enjoyed when I was younger. After a good few years of not riding bikes I dug it out of the garage, fixed it up and have been trying to get back into riding, only to find that my thumb and forefingers go numb and I get wrist pain. I've upgraded to new...

Due to a non-cycling related injury and general life getting in the way I took a break from regular cycling for about 7 years. I'm trying to get back into it now and am having real issues with numb fingers and palms, even on bikes I previously had no problem with so I'm thinking maybe I'm just...

Heroin Deerman deck from the "Call of the wild" graphics series. 9.5", gripped with Jessup tape and a few random stickers under the clear part, never used or had trucks mounted. Would make a good cruiser or kerb weapon or hang it up on the wall. £50 including shipping within the UK. I'd...

Covehithe, the "church within a church". I used to holiday in this area with my family when I was a kid. I seem to remember the large church suffered a fire and the local community didn't have the funds to rebuild it on the same scale, so they rebuilt a smaller church attached to the original...

St Matthew's. Midgham, Berkshire.

I bought a Titec Hellbent handlebar off farcebook recently and it has a few scuffs and scratches. It's that slightly textured aluminium that they and other brands liked using for bars, stems etc and anodised black. Are there any tried and tested cheap methods for tidying these sorts of parts...

This is a real pain. I used to be able to ship items through my work using whatever courier was cheapest or more convenient. It's putting me off selling on ebay, especially for things like bike parts where there are a few good forums like this one I could use. It's also a pain as a buyer...

I have something in my drawer of parts. It's allen bolt, black with a pantographed silver band. I'll check the size this evening. Edit: Sorry, it turned out to be 31.8

Damn. I have another whole set of quite high end Avid stuff somewhere in my parents' garage and I dread to think what they're like after 10 years. They were really nice when I stored them away. :(

I think I've found something now. Thanks folks.

I have a pair of Dia Compe 806 in black, front has been fitted and used but cleans up well, back is brand new in the box. I can take photos if you're interested.
