I have asked the Guvnor, John about putting the Road winner on the front page with the others so should hear back soon. Yes, I am pretty busy but don’t have the permissions for posting on the front page, you have now asked so will see what John says, nothing about being too busy to do. I think...

Hello fellow retrobikers. For some reason I came across this thread and popped in to see when I lasted posted. As while I don't ride my Merckx all the time, it still gets used quite often but more locally now than away. When I looked at the last post about the date codes and realised it was...

NOW SOLD! Hi all A few modern Shimano 105, 11speed , (5800 model) parts for sale. I realise they aren't retro but thought I would offer them here before putting them onto Marketplace or Ebay if nobody wants them. They were procured for a build but ultimately too modern for me :) so I have...

I have spent yesterday and today down in the Cairngorms with Caleb doing a bit of riding. I managed to blag a few days off while Caleb was still on school holidays and not working during the week. Yesterday afternoon when we got down was a complete washout, so not much happening there but today...

Great to have you back Velo! Your absence was noted and you were missed. Hang round and catch up. Good to hear things are going well. Jamie

Welcome to RBotM October 2025 - Autumn After the success of last month we are running a very broad theme - Autumn - and so hoping we will have another strong field of superb rides basking in the autumnal glory. So it is a broad brush with this one but it is open to your own interpretation, but...
