Got a rear and looking for a front but they are like Hens Teeth

Was for the leathers first then the helmet, this is from my collection - hand drawn by Troy himself

I can’t bring myself to use any of mine! 4 sets and only 1 with the inverse button colours (little round decals with the cross which are more often green with a blue cross where yours are blue with a green cross)

Picked this up as part of a 3 frame deal, it was custom ordered by a guy who was a mechanic at a local bike shop where I grew up. He offered it to me for a steal and I couldn’t say no. Condition wise the tubing is good, the frame has had a repair at the chainstay / BB interface and the guy also...

Frame cost me much less than you think, plus August Bicycles on here have quoted me to fix it just about what I spent so it owes me very little… I have some P2’s from a Kilauea if I go the rigid route which could also look amazing on when resprayed to match the frame…

I think they are slightly different, not much but just enough, maybe ask Hope for confirmation

Ok so I have some parts sitting - after repair I need to find some 1997/8 SID’s and a worthy headset, I have Syncros Stem, seatpost and a half decent seat. Drivetrain will be 737/739 with Hope Hubs and 217 or 231’s Just need a month or 2 to save for the fram repair

I don’t know road stuff but I had just picked up a Fuquay MTB frame from the guy so no reason to suspect it wasn’t

It’s ok but I want to run cantis and the plug in the wishbone has rusted out so needs some repair work anyway so rather than rebuild some of the 20 or so C2’s I have I’ll stick to period brakes

Picked up 3 frames today for not a lot of cash 1) Fuquay Custom which needs some work put in. It’s a 96/97 and has had a disk mount and brace added so that will need to go then it’ll need a respray. Currently bare except a Real BB 2) Reflex ALX 79, steel lugs with Easton Alu tubes, has a...

Got offered a Fuquay Road / Gravel bike today - not really my thing and no idea of value. Guy is an ex bike shop employee who I picked up a couple bits from, Alu Frame and random parts, any suggestions (prob not for me to be fair)

You can swap cages (both the fixed front side and bolt on rear side) which is what I think you’re getting at. The cage should be held on by a 5 or 6mm hex key bolt and there is the sting behind it which is a bit fiddly but it can be done

That’s gorgeous, and rare as you like
