Great to see that and hear your story of your Trailblazer - thanks for sharing - appreciated MS. I still hope to find one to restore some day and the size of yours looked ideal for my 6' frame.

I have a lovely old Marin badged quil stem with canti-roller - but its so early it turns out its 1"

just a basic l/h gripship required if anyone has an old one - then I can convert a single speed MTB I bought back to 3x7speed. Thanks

Thanks yes, I am away that moment and will double check its 27.2 and not 27.0 I need - its for my 1993 Klein Attitude so that I can move the DeoreXT one on it onto another bike. Thanks, I will be in touch

Also available as this F&F (with headset, ti stem stackers and ti Litespeed stem) option - can be boxed and posted as that frameset option (UK only)

wierd - could be dodgy - of could just be someone that has genuinely moved house. In my case - people probably think the same - as I split my time between Kent and Powys counties and store bikes at each location - maybe its someone like me - or maybe its someone dodgy - tread carefully on...

in another store of mine I have the somewhat hefty HipLoc frame locks I use on my brother and my Cube eMTBs but they work quite well for peace of mind as a security solution. They were still cheaper than buying inurance for a year on those bikes

yes I saw those two and probably better for your wheels too - as they are supported by the tyres and still hinged - 👍 gets my vote as an even better solution really PS I love your Kestrel MTB - that was one of my dream bikes as a lad - but so where the Merlin/Ridgeback that appeared with it in...

I discovered the (German made I think) - Velo hinge (not cheap - mk1 is £25ish if you shop around, but the latest version is £45ea). Still it worked for me in the space we had - and all the modern bikes we use are neatly stacked and folded away - with the two Scott eBikes - mounted underneath...

Moulton cycle wanted - apply within

Ritchey Swiss Cross - 57cm L (frame & fork supporing disk brakes as opposed to the Canti model)

Many thanks - it is one of those bikes that rides "greater than the sum of its parts". The off the peg modern Shimano R500 road wheelset and Specialized tyres transformed it when I was rebuilding it from what was originally a bit of a basket case that had sat in someone's shed for years on its...

lovely old timers those - I rode the factory/museum in Bologna one year and that is a wonderful display of all the models from the past and examples of your bikes are certainly in their collection as they have pretty much one of every bike on display.

I've decided to build another general purpose bike to replace my Dave Yates local hack, and what a great lightweight run-about this 3x8 fast-road flat-bar conversion is. Its actually a lovely old late '80s 531 hadnbuilt F&F by Mr Yates as a lightweight road-bike of its day. It was clearly...
