your ebay search skills are weak old man- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195269776664

Looks like its been resprayed from the photos. Coves were notorious for paint that could barely stay on the frame.

update - try these - https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brakes/thorn-club-tour-mk4-bolton-brake-boss/ Also to note that v brakes are a pain on the back of early roadrats as the seat stays are too close together to get an effective action. You'll need to run low profile pads at the very least and then...

sorry sold years ago. they would definitely fit an early roadrat as mine was an early one. Theres an on one set for sale on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203705025692 though much more expensive than the ones i sold. I suspect that these brake bosses are all the same and supplied by a third...

I've used exposure lights - there certainly well made and bright but i don't find the beam pattern all that great . -better for off road where you need a bright flood of light ,but wasteful of lumens on road.- where the Ravemen seems specifically designed for with it's dipped beam

of course because the light is actually shining where you need it - on the road, you don't need to go mega lumens to see where you are going. I normally just use a 300 lumen ravemen , unless i'm going on totally unlit country roads when the 900 lumen twin beam get's a work out.

I've fitted some rigid front forks. it's just the cabling to go. unfortunately I'm in the middle of an n scale train layout. Great for cramming in a lot in a small area, terrible for my 63 year old eyesight working with that scale.

thanks as i've got a months free prime i bought 3 for £8. Cheers.

the hugi hubs became the dt240 so you might try that. I doubt that the damage to the freehub will cause you any problems

Just Purchased this. Had one BITD that was stolen - this came up for sale locally and I snapped it up - it's all original - including the seized fork -just like my original one. I may try to fix them, though to be honest I didn't notice for ages the forks were seized when I had one before. Just...

what's the headset size on this ?
