I’m looking out for a British mountain bike in a style probably dating from the 90’s. I am 5’ 9” so 18”-20” in size with a rigid frame and must have mudguard eyes front and rear. I’m wanting one to do some off road touring. Anything out there gathering dust? Thanks Des

Hi. Is that on Facebook? Not on there anyways. I realise it’s a tall ask. Thanks Des

Still on the lookout.

I’m looking for a Jack Taylor stem, condition not important as I would have it re-chromed. It’s the finished off a Jack Taylor super tourist. With cable guide or without. Any out there? Many thanks Des

Wanted: Mavic 100mm 1” quill stem in very good condition. Thanks Des

As above. I’m looking for the earlier type with round profile tubing not oval. 100mm or 90mm please. Many thanks Des

I received the Shimano Deerhead today. All good. Thanks for the help.

Looking sorted now.

Wanted a rear Shimano Deerhead derailleur to finish a 1980s project off.

WTD: I‘m looking out for a Airlite small flange 36 hole hub in good to usable condition. Any out there? many thanks Des

Reduced to £150.

For sale Muddy Fox Monarch Pro. 93-94-ish, the paintwork has surface rust spots but I think it’s almost original spec.. Shimano LX groupset Fred Salmon stem, handlebars, seatpost and wheel quick releases. Pulsar hubs on Rigida turbo 9 rims. YST headset. 17” centre to top of top tube. 19” to top...

It’d be good to see it back on the road. I may have the original grips somewhere and probably other bits. I’ll send them over when I have a dig around.

..and pictures.
