To my great excitement I saw this down the local station as I was parking up my Offroad 550. (not that exciting to most I’m sure but for me there was that whole ‘it’s like mine’ going on). What do we think it is? (Apologies for the crummy image). I didn’t see a number clearly on it. To...

Hi All, I'm after some old 531 forks to fit to my 70's galaxy. Steerer is 1" diameter, 190mm length with approx 33mm of thread at the top. I will be respraying anyway so condition is not too important (as long as they are structurally sound). I'm looking around the £15 + postage mark (I...

Thanks for the input guys. I've had another close look and I think it should be ok. The only strange thing seems to be a dent on the underside of the lug joining the head tube and top tube (by the corner). I presume this is probably a result of something else? When the accident happened I...

Hi Guys, Can I have your advice please? I bought a late 70's Galaxy to use as a commuter bike with the intention to take it off the road during the cold dark months and do it up. Unfortunately someone pulled out in front of me on Wednesday and the forks are now bent. My question...

Technical hitch... Just wanted to find out what you guy's use as a guage to how trustworthy someone is on Ebay? For example...

Apologies if something like this has been asked before but I'm curious to know how people decide if a seller / product are trustworthy? For example, I was looking at this listing of a Proflex...

Hi Guys, I've been reading stuff on here for a little while (a former Woolies employee with plenty of spare time). Haven't felt the need to say anything before but now's as good as anytime to start. About 8 months ago I decided to take up Piano, I had played instruments when younger but...

guybe - Thanks for pointing that out, but I've decided it's a 94/95 I'm after. Floyd - I need a 17/18" frame because I would be sharing it with the missus. Please let me know and I will consider. Just to clarify, I would prefer a more complete bike but frame & fork will be considered for...

I’m after a mid 90’s kona (preferably cindercone or above), that requires some work doing. I’m not too fussed about the condition of paintwork but would like the frame / forks to have no major damage. I’m looking to pay around £100 so if you have anything that you think might be suitable then...

Another Newbie Hi Guys, Just to say a quick hello. I've been thinking about getting a retro bike for a while now and have finally decided to see what's going on and what is around (after a lot of pining for my old GT Bravado LE). That's all for the time being, I'll hold off my million...
