    Emmelle/late 80s mtb upgrade help

    Just had a look, no frame numbers or serial anywhere on the frame/fork. Not too surprising given how cheap and mass produced they were, though they did pop up in some interesting colours from time to time. Never ended up doing anything with this, was right at the start of my return into cycling...

    Today's Ride

    Had a very near miss yesterday thanks to a moron of a driver speeding and overtaking another car on a blind corner, veering into the oncoming lane with me in it. Figured it’d be best to just get back out today instead of dwelling on it. Should’ve stayed in, first flat on the Bianchi after 1338...

    Today's Ride

    Nice to see the Mondy with no mudguards! Similar ethos (less pictures) and distance for me today too, 31 miles bang on. Tackled one of the A roads round here which was a speedy experience, thought I had really good form/felt pretty fresh today. Didn't realize I was getting a pretty good tailwind...

    91? Kona Hahanna £40

    Definitely a left in the garden affair but looks pretty original. £40 Middlesbrough. Paging @Spanky22b solely for it being a 90s Kona in the NE 😂 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1204215341338909

    Dura ace, Chris king attached to a mystery frame for £95 BIN in Redditch

    Always enjoy a bit of a hunt around when it comes to mystery things, tmwc.co.uk as per wayback machine seems to pop up around 2003 as a web design company founded by Paul Prince. Seems fella is a pretty avid cyclist, pops up a lot in UK CX champs mid 2000s, couple local news headlines, ran a...

    Inbred Project £50

    small frame (so 16 i think), matching inbred forks and other on one stuff (headset/stem), raceface post, ritchey bars, deore 3x9s and v brakes, has on one rim tape so guessing their own wheels too. bit rough around the edges but would clean up nice and matching frame/fork worth it all day. £50...

    Today's Ride

    I learned that 60 miles in is a bad place to find out your spd shoes have a hotspot, turns out the numb right hand I've been experiencing since going to a road bike hasn't been from fit but from wearing gloves (first ride without them given it was 21c) and that I need to fuel with more than just...

    Today's Ride

    Cracked 100. Normally I’d summarise the ride but frankly I’m having a solid drink and an early night 😂😂

    Pace RC200 Gravel / Adventure Conversion.. A little Help Here?

    Regarding 4 if it's 1x it'll most likely be a narrow wide and probably a mech with a clutch to help with retention and stop chain slap. Biggest ring on a 1x I've seen was 42 on GRX. Plenty of 2x offerings out there if you're concerned, not 100% sure if GRX or any of the gravel specific...

    Today's Ride

    Had to stop off for a picture. 36.80 miles/59.22km, 1888ft/575m of elevation, bit of a slower one today. After bottling the initial 100 mile attempt a few weeks back I've been aiming for a mix of shorter intense rides ie a local 10 mile loop, and then the occasional longer one at lower...
