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.

Thanks. I'll be interested in seeing photos.

I picked up a 2000 Lava Dome from ebay recently as my wife said she wanted a mountain bike and of course I was happy to oblige! She said she wasn't bothered about make, colour etc but that it "mustn't be scruffy" so I'm going to have to do something about these Avid brake levers! The aluminium...

Ah ok, I'm after 170mm. Thanks anyway. @hawkhill97 they're all yours :)

170mm triple MTB chainset/crankset wanted. 104bcd and preferably Hollowtech II but would consider square taper I'm not fussed about the chainrings as it's for a 1x10 conversion. Please let me know if you have anything.

Interested in the cranks, what length are they please?
