Evening, I’m looking for a frame - cross or touring which fits 700c wheels, 130mm spacing, canti brakes. ETT around 52-53cm. It’s to pop my wife’s road bits on and make her a gravel bike. Bonus points if it looks awesome but it doesn’t necessarily need to be anything fancy! If it’s got a...

Sorry! Didn’t see the wanted section - how do I delete this?

Re: More pics. The same ‘open minded individual’ used the wrong crank bolts on both sides so there’s a bit of damage to the outside / small end of the DS taper but it fits up to the spindle as it should and is solid when tightened with a flat bolt... The NDS is completely crocked. They’re...

After the ‘have I been done’ post, this time it’s certain I have been done. My Wicked Fat arrived with CQP cranks in ‘alright’ visual condition. Then I rode it... and they wobbled. NDS has been over tightened, a washer put on the bolt to allow it to be tightened over the end of the spindle...

Re: Thank you for confirming. And in some stolen famous words... it’s good, but it’s not right. Any idea what I stick it up for sale for? Less than a Cattleprod, more than a Velocity??

Re: I think you’re right. On the side it just has ‘max height’ then 26.0 x 130mm. Looking at it though, it is a mid 90s Altura. Wishful thinking!! But I still got a bargain on the bike I think so all is not lost.

Hi, I thought that this was an early cattleprod but I’m not so sure... can anyone confirm? And give me an idea of year value please? It’s a 130mm 0 rise. Cheers in advance.

Re: I’ll pop you a PM - my wife is going to shoot me if she realises how much I’ve spent on ‘that rickety old bike’ !!

I think it’s safe to say that I’m even more excited now! I’ve been without a retro bike for a while, last one was a Pace RC200 F8 which I loved... but this one should be an absolute treat. I just need DHL to turn up now so I can go and play in the woods! Cheers

Re: Thank you for that! I’ve put a few questions in the general forum around the bike, it still hasn’t arrived but I’m trying to get some info in advance. If you’ve got any more wisdom to share would you mind having a quick look on there please?

Evening, I’m waiting for a German eBay delivery - in it should be an 89 Wicked covered in some tarty bits. I thought I’d try to do my homework before it arrived... thanks in advance for any help. Serial number is 07489W - this does tie up to 89, doesn’t it? Forks are a Tange Switchblade - I...

Re: Hello, I’ll have a syncros cattleprod from the early to mid 90s coming on an eBay bike some time next week. I’ll measure it up and get some pictures to you once it’s here if that’s of any interest. Silver and I don’t think too long. Looked decent in the photos. Cheers Chris

Re: Hi, is that Wicked seat collar still up for grabs? And are you really looking for 100€? Cheers Chris
