    There are loads of old Victorian hotels reasonably priced in Llandod. Not sure any are particularly recommendable though.

    Natonal Cycle museum

    The Llandrindod one is well worth a visit. Last time I went they had a special TdF exhibition with Fausto era Bianchis. Lovely Bit rickety & not very slick but well worth a detour. Like Llandod itself!

    Help me upgrade my Scapin hardtail & avoid buying a new

    That's very nice - the XTR kit looks great, as does the crankset. Liking mine very much - it's a very good uphill and down!

    Lovely. I do like it when the seatstays are higher than the top tube. Who are Sanderson?

    Cheers Nove, you're a font of information - I don't suppose you know the significance of it being a Rudolf X do you? - or were they all called X?

    Help me upgrade my Scapin hardtail & avoid buying a new

    Fair point.. the stays do look a bit thin for discs :D Fork is about to be replaced with a 85/100mm Menja which is certainly lighter!

    Help me upgrade my Scapin hardtail & avoid buying a new Hi All I recently scored a 2003 Scapin steel hardtail, which I've built with bits and bobs I've had hanging around. I'm thinking of upgrading and lightening somewhat and would welcome some advice - for general XC work plus SW trail...

    Scapin Rudolf X Hardtail

    Yep, that pic was what caused me to pull the trigger on mine. Looks lovely. Out of interest, where was the pic taken? My Scapin road bike was certainly made in Italy in 2009 - at least unless Michele at the factory was flat out fibbing to me!!?

    Scapin Rudolf X Hardtail

    Cheers sub - if that's the case & they all leak I'll just order some brake lugs and get them on to see how they go. Will take me a while to work out the permutations of adjustment, coming from a fork which ha one valve per leg and that's it!

    Scapin Rudolf X Hardtail

    Bombers are about 75-80mm as far as I can tell. They're only temporary really. I've scored a pair of Magura Menja 85s (with V brake mounts of course) from fleabay but a seal looks displaced so going to have them serviced before I put them on. Unfortunately they're white :roll: As to...
