Hello, I've had this kicking around the workshop for a few years - i bought it in 1992 and it did service for me during the '93 NEMBA season before i splashed out and got my Ringle H2O. Needs a new home. In great nick, photo at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/liamconnolly/9176545530/ Any...

Hello all, I've recently invested in a new groupset with brakes and as a result i'm selling my M755 four pot XT brake set - fully (and recently) bled with levers. I had never considered them retro until i realised just how old they are. They've given me years of dependable, hassle and leak...

Sorry! just sold on ebay last week!

Shameless BUMP - someone must have a use for a pole???

Hi All, I've got a barely used Minoura Bike Tower kicking around looking for a good home. It is just like this: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Minou ... 287160690/ Except in black. Pretty nifty telescoping means it doesnt need fixing to your floor or ceiling, you just use the...

Hi pretty self explanatory - my Shimano STX chainset still for sale. 42-32-22 demountable rings with plastic trouser protector ring (that's a ring that protects trousers, not a ring that protects against plastic trousers) - also can be unbolted. Rings are black, cranks are polished, I'll...

Okay, so after being impressed by my crank polishing efforts last month, my eyes have widened and I have been thinking about taking on a whole frame. The other option was a respray but I always feel that unless in the original colours it may not look too hot. I expect that anyone who has...

Hey all, Another forced clear out - this time as a result of an accidental Cotic purchase requires me to delve deeper into the midst of bike bits to make space... So for sale: Specialized 140 gram straight handlebars, black, slight sweep, uncut, decent condition – came off a 2001...

That was going to be my next option though a google search revealed someone else who had tried and failed - the next suggestion being Dave of course. Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to assist a friend return his 1980's Joe Waugh back to former glory, the respray is almost booked but cannot seem to find decals anywhere. Had a look at Lloyds website, they dont seem to carry Waugh. Anyone have some, or know where he could pick some up? Thanks, Liam

Thanks for the tips guys, i committed myself to starting the project as the rain fell today. Using the same technique - 240, 400, 600, 800 and a final rub over with a 1200 and extreme buffing with Autosol. I didnt stop for a cup of tea, which may have been beginners error, however this is...

That's an amazing finish, great work. I've been toying with the idea of a similar project, without wanting to seem too stupid - what materials did you use to prepare and polish? Also, how has the finish lasted over the last 8 months? LC

Lewis1641 - afraid the Kastle just has Shimano cranks throughout! Chris/Jerky - Mousemat PMed first dibs on the Pace, just waiting for him to come back otherwise pecking order is as forum. Thanks, Liam

Hey Guys, Okay, so I have now uncovered the second stash of bike brochures from my prized collection. This stash I'm sadder to see go than the last, but needs must so got to generate the cash somehow! There is another set somewhere which I've yet to uncover so i'll continue...

Sorry db, you are right I have sent to you in error. Chris Ambler was sent his Parkpre brochure so this is the only mix up caused because you and Dekerf2 are both called Dave. Simple error apologies. Payment hasnt been received from Dekerf as yet. You can send back to me and I will...
