Selling this once-decent mtb built up during Covid with stuff I had in the garage for use around town. Now outgrown. Gears are 1x8 with a Claris long cage RD, 32 tooth black spire chainring on a suntour triple chain set. Deore-ish cantis of two different vintages, dia compe levers with a curious...

Steel 1” threaded chromed fork for sale. Came from a Columbus SL bike (stolen whilst I was using it with a different fork, grrrrrr) but it has no stickers on it. It’s light (650g), resilient and you can feel the helical butting in the steerer (I think!) so I reckon it is SL like the bike, but...

Cheers all. I was well pleased with how it turned out and ride it at the slightest excuse!

I came across this thread recently so I just thought I’d add a few pics of my ‘rehabilitated‘ Dawes Ranger… I built it up as a round-town cruiser/klunker I wouldn’t mind locking up (almost) wherever. I have to say it’s a right laugh to ride, the half metre long chain stays, long bendy bars and...

Re: Bought an interesting old frame, as described and Mark answered all my questions. Frame delivered quickly too. All good

Re: Pretty interested in this, pending a few details. PM sent...

Selling my 1993 17.5" Scott Comp Racing 'Resto-mod' AKA the 'Thetford Special' Set up as a 1x8 with a mix of old and new parts, some quite nice and some a bit more 'ordinary'. Paint and decals a bit sun-faded and there are a few very small rust-spots but the frame is straight and sound. Rides...

Re: Not sure how old your frame is, but when I was restoring my dad's old steel bike, the threads were not cut deeply enough into the bottom bracket to get a modern BB (cartridge square taper type) 'all the way in'. I had to find an old cup cone and axle on Ebay, but they weren't very...

Top race assembly of an interesting locking headset for 1 1/8" threadless forks, maybe a YST Geforce, but no markings. It's an odd thing, with a threaded (on the outside) collar which slides over the steerer tube and screws into the top bearing cup (threaded on the inside), which then fits onto...

Re: Great. PM sent.

Re: Hi, is the BB still available? Cheers!

Re: Obviously lots of interest in this now. I’m still interested, PM sent!

Re: Thanks for the sizes etc. Would you know if the mercian was originally for 27" wheels, or 700c? And presumably it's 531DB frame and fork - I can't see the tube decals in the pics. Thanks a lot.

Re: Hi, possibly interested in the Mercian or orbit, depending on the size...? Seat tube plus top tube please! And maybe even headtube! Thanks a lot.

Mid 1990s (not sure of exact year) 20" (C-C) GT Timberline Cr-Mo frame, fork and (alloy) seat post. It's originally from Denmark, and I can't find it in any of the brochures here in the black colour with red decals. Anyway, not bad nick, the usual bangs, scrapes and surface rust but sound...
