Hi Daz, email me at [email protected]. Kind regards, James.

WTB: Trevor Jarvis Flying Gate Looking for a Trevor Jarvis Flying Gate. Anything 1979 to present considered - Touring frame much preferred though. Will consider a frameset or entire bike. Cosmetic condition not critical. Cheers.

Hmmm Think you might be right. I don't have time to sell all the bits with work and other commitments. I will probably put it on Ebay with a buy-it-now but if it came down to selling it for £400 or something silly like that I think i'll let my overdraft take the strain! It is a beautiful bike...

Thanks Thanks for all the messages - I have updated the advert to state the correct size for the bike and dropped the price as I may have been a little optimistic. It does seem like a lot of bike for the money now. I don't want to split as selling/posting all the bits would probably kill me...

P7 vs T5! Hi Colin, Thanks for the kind words - I think Nickel P7s are beautiful bikes. To be honest I'd keep it but I would feel guilty having two bikes and a scooter. Thus the Orange goes up for sale. What is your T5 like? the square tails look fantastic - i don't know why they didn't...

For Sale: 1997 Orange P7 19" Nickel (XTR/XT/Middleburn/Hope/Syncros etc) EDIT: Thanks to some clarification from Retrobike members I must state that this is a 19” P7. I will measure the CTC seat tube dimension later tonight, but after comparing it with pictures of 17.5” P7s on the site it...

XTR Lever Received with thanks, James

XTR Lever PM regarding Left Hand XTR Lever. Kind regards, James.

WANTED: 9 speed XT or XTR rapidfire or combo shifters. I think the model numbers are M750/M751 for the XTs or M952 for the XTRs. Pair in black/grey and good+ condition required. May also take a silver left hand XT M750/1 shifter in any working condition if cheap. Also, XTR M950 series...

Update Thanks for all the advice guys, went at it in the morning with loads of WD40 and the smallest allen key I have. I managed to get the barrels round enough to reinsert the key and open it. I was very close to getting the locksmith to bust it open but the £82 call out charge put me off long...

Hi All, I am afraid I have a bit of a problem. I have a Kryptonite Series 4 evolution lock, and had locked my bike outside our local shop while I went in for a couple of minutes. On my return I find the lock will not open, it looks like the furthest in part of the barrel is at 90 degrees to...

I need a Syncros 46T chainring for my Middleburns, one that looks like this: http://www.mtbr.com/cat/drivetrain/chai ... 12crx.aspx Chainring should be 94BCD in silver/champagne. May consider 44T or 48T, or a different colour at a push. Thanks, James.

Beer Cans... Thanks TGR, I think i have a couple of Lowenbrau empties here just fit for purpose! First, got to get the correct BB then i'll give it a shot. Best wishes, James.
