As per title - my lovely original Talas RLC needs a service - it's sinking and likely there is an oil leak; right stanchion has dirt sticking to the top. Happy to send for service, happy to do it myself too but need a kit. Who can help?

I would take a 108 replica, Provided it was built in a tiny run by a gifted artisan. There's less appeal in a repro mtb though for me. Some production processes like 3D printing would make reproducing them easier, but to deliver the same quality level in a small run would still make them very...

Bought this Spinergy wheel the other day for a good price because it was a tubular 700; only ever having owned those in clincher format I was curious, especially as the missing freehub was for sure not the Shimano screw on job. The axle is set up for two industrial bearings with a spacer so I am...

Rudimentary shaping at best lol I can easily imagine the flex. Hubs don't offer up any great clues though they do look European. Thanks for the offer of those contact details - feel free to PM me.

Their non-aero spoke profile and rim actually reminds me of some Polish wheels, although I haven't seen any with alloy rims. How much do they weigh and what is the surface like? Are they carbon or fibreglass(/kevlar)? Post some close-ups of the hub too that always is a good insicator. Nice set...

Yellow with the block parts of the K in white - a bit tricky to photograph as the transfer tape is white

Original set of Kestrel CSX frame decals. I got some sets direct from Kestrel way back for some restorations - these are left over. I believe they are all there, the downtube decal there are in fact 3 of and I will include the cardboard bit which is the pattern for the chainstay protector...

Well, if one doesn't ask one doesn't get ;)

Well, I will buy from anyone that wishes to sell. I may well have some Lotus decals for that coffin ;)

Hi all I am looking for these two bikes. I have all the parts waiting but clearly need the frames to proceed. Complete bikes of course equally welcome. At 6'1'' the large versions are preferred!

😍😍😍 Tomianson Please do let me know if you decide to sell. I have been looking for a Cinetica for ages!!! Ideally in size 56 or 57 so I can at least ride it but any will do!

Dear @My_Teenage_Self I would love to buy that Lotus MTB off you. Or anyone else of course that has one and is willing to sell!!! I was stupid enough to sell mine many years ago )-:

Hey - organise it! There is a guy called Scott - he calls himself Diablo Scott because of his fondness for riding Mt Diablo - who is a bit of a Klein buff and who I', sure would be up for doing something like that; http://diabloscott.blogspot.com/2000_05_01_archive.html

Shame it's not 'around the corner' otherwise I'd ride there for the meet - although if I am honest it's unlikely the Quantum will be fully built up by then...
