Thanks for all the replies, I'm still debating what to do actually, my mate is hopefully going to lend me an adjustable in a weeks time to try out to test. I reckon that might be the best way forward before guessing what I want. But otherwise, yes could be interested in your Nitto Dynamic stem...

Hi, Currently finding my quill stem a bit low, really want to raise it by 1.5-2 inches (current length is about 5 inches). I got recommended a Nitto Technomic but they're very expensive new. Does anyone have any second hand ones (not necessary the Nittos, any good quality one will do) or...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions, took the brake out of my rear SA 3 speed hub and found one of the pads to be completely separated. Any suggestions on how i can repair it or do I have to replace it? Can I just glue it back together, will that hold? SuperGlue? Also, when...

Just to say a huge thanks to GosforthBike. Offered me a frame with some chainset etc at a good price, I accepted. He then proceeded to throw in a set of wheels and a load of other small useful stuff. On top of all that he also made a detour to the town I was working in to drop it off all for...

Well, credit here to GosforthBike, he very kindly dug out a pair of wheels and several other bits and bobs that should have me set up to go for a start. Not only that he even drove into the town I was working in to drop the bike off... how about that for a good bloke?

Re: Thank you for all the replies everyone, I've got myself a bike! I bought gosforthbike's Dawes horizon. It's 501 double butted frame with 531 forks so pretty happy with that as a solution and got most of the stuff to it mostly rough running. So pretty happy, I'd say problem solved, time to...

Thanks for all the advice, am looking into all those galaxies. Twosheds, very nice but unfortunately I fear by the time I've built that frame up it'll become really quite an expensive bike, thanks very much for the offer though! £150 is about my budget to have something in a rough running or...

Would something like this be any good or just not strong enough? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Claud-butler- ... Sw~AVYux-m Or something like this? https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/vint ... 1254192695 or https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/hand ... 1251232979 Are Peugeots any good...

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated Can understand about prices and bike selling, don't worry if it's not available yet That Dawes bike looks ideal, unfortunately it is too far away and I'd want to try the thing before laying my money down, i'd also guess that that one will go for a...

Re: Yes, I've figured out a rough size of bike I need but to be honest, need to try the individual bikes. Might be interested in your harrier, how much is it going for and whereabouts are you? I am currently searching eBay and gumtree but my problem is I don't exactly know what I'm looking...

Hi there, Thanks for adding me, was wondering if you might be able to help me source a touring bike project? I am looking for something I can build up into a suitable tourer so don't mind whether it's just a frame or a running bike that needs work. If possible I'd rather a more vintage frame...
