what modern forks fit the twenty? ive looked everywhere on fleabay for a canti fork, cant find one, with a long enough steerer, 200cm i make it to be?

even the labels are raleigh!

i tend to wear, what period im riding, if its my 61 or 84 superbe, its a bit of tweed or a shooting jacket, if its my maverick or mk1 mirage the shell suit comes out, my mtrax or ogre, just jeans n stuff, if its my triumph twenty shopper or raleigh stowaway, its generally stockings and a gym...

what an old pillock :) lol

i was out last week, on my old mtrax 500, jeans, shirt trainers, happily bumbling along, then all of a sudden a lycra clad young lady, blasted past me, missing my arm, by what couldnt been an inch. on her carbon fibre, ive got more money than you! so me just being me, whoops sorry dear... and it...

hiya guys, can anybody recommend a bike mechanic south wales, ive got a siezed rounded spline on a bb, on a 1988 gemini 531. i didnt do it, its how the bike came. im surrounded by halford and wont trust one of them. the bb may need drilling and chiseling out

nope, south wales is shit! if you gotta a retro mountain bike or wear a cap, you reguarded as an ecentric or a snob! if your cars under 8 years old, your must be a bank robber :) lol

do you know of any decent bike mechanics around south wales, all i can turn up, is argos and halfords lol

thinkk im gonna gave to taker to argos, i cant get that bb out 😭

any one have a pair of u.g.l.i forks for a diablo stx? i chucked mine years ago, after bending them, put a crease in the boss, so they would have always been weak after, might fit a set of spinner, if i can`t find one.

dug out my Dynatech tonight, should have been going to the retro bie show in gloucester and pulled my shoulder out. so heres a little video, instead

lol yeah, a bit of a clue :) lol juist up the road a bit from abergavenny, on the heads of the valleys. ive got a nos tt lopro here, never been ridden, never fully built up. im trying to shift to, had shingles in my back n buggered my nerves up. id happily swap that xc50, xc60 ti or xc80.

and ummmm do you think, you could name this bike shop, maybe i could go along and see the work when it is done, maybe i could drop my frame off there and wait to see, if the mechanic, notices the switcheroony :) lol

one more question, is hyperglide better than casette? what it is, ive got a choice of either 130mm axle with 6 speed hyperglide or 135mm axle with 7 speed casette.
