Thanks for that. I didn't get the chance to get a photo tonight, I'll do it tomorrow but it's the right side crank arm that is damaged and it's inside the crank arm that's threaded. You can't put another pedal on it. When you say any rear mech will do, do you mean any from that time...

I cant believe it's been so long since i bought this bike. I cleaned it up , got new tyres and a new wheel. I've also been given new handle bars and shifters but never got around to putting them on. The main problem i had was the handlebars were loose and wouldn't tighten and the gears...

Eighteen months on and im looking to sell this again.

I'm selling my old Coppi bike but I could do with a valuation and some more information on it. It's not the best photo but it is a Fausto Coppi Stelvio There are no manufacturer markings on the cassette or derailleur. The gears/brake levers say they are Shimano RSX. It weighs around 24...

Cheers for all of your replies so far. Stupid question but where would I get ethyl alcohol from, how much is it, what does it do and can I use it on any other bits of rust. Also what kind of grease do I need and can I only get this from a bike shop.

I've not had a mountain bike for over 20 years. I've always been a bit of a fan of a racer. Over the last few years I've tried a few times to use my road bike as a commute to work but I've always had to go the long way around to work (rather than an off road short cut) and the amount of...

Cheers for that. I typed in the dimensions on what I though a bike would be and it come back at over £238 :shock: Going off what bike boxes normally are it's come down to around £12.99 with interparcel. I'm waiting to hear what the exact dimensions they are going to pack it up to are...

I've just bought a 1995 Marin Rocky Ridge from someone at work. Unfortunately he lives a few hours drive from me (he works from home) and it's going to cost more than I expected to get there on the train. Can anyone recommend a bike delivery service. A quick search on Google brought up...
