nobody?!

I have a dent/crack in my commuter, so I need a cheap frame to transfer all the bits over. What I am looking for: Musts: - size 54/55ish - 700c - 1 1/8 steerer (unless it comes with forks) - standard bb shell (cranks are shimano external bb) - rim brake - inexpensive Nice to haves: -...

Did it have a cup and cone bb? I have just got the fixed cup out of my 87 Ascent, courtesy of an expensive park tool, but I am struggling with the adjustable cup, not sure what size socket it is and its a very low profile surface. Sheldon brown said to use a bolt with a few screws on it, but I...

Tidy gold Giant, on for £50 but will take offers https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226136309167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=T8FOfsT9TwC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=oz5sip8xswe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

is there anyone who can tell me what these bars are please?

Prestige tubing must be rare for Muddy Fox. I had a courier and that was a great bike, one of many I regret selling

I had an alfine pompetamine as a commuter, absolute beast, almost zero maintenance and so comfortable. It survived a couple of car accidents and did thousands of miles round london. I miss it

Not a make I have heard of but looks like decent condition LX group https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256510141654?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=s1_qt6iIRES&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=oz5sip8xswe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
