Shimano deore XT rear mech M739 This is a used rear mech and it is in good condition. Price £30 including postage. I can send pictures. It looks like this one but is not brand new. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83493 Any questions message me. Cane Creek S3 Threadless...

Sachs Huret front mech The cable connection clamp fittings and the clamp nut is not included as they are missing. For the clamp diameter I have have checked and it will fit on my commuter where the seat tube measures approx 28.9mm. This frame was powder coated so the size of 28.9mm maybe...

The frame I am looking at is on Gumtree but is the later design of frame to your 2006 model. Does your frame have bottom bracket bearings that press into the frame? Have you had any problems with these bearings?

I am thinking about buying a second hand Trek Madone 5 series bike that is a 2008 model and I am after some advice. I have read on the internet that some of these frames had problems with the bottom bracket, i.e. the bottom bracket bearings could come loose or creak. Apart from looking for play...

Mountain bike middleburn 104mm 4 bolt chainring 32 teeth CR9032 black I have used this for about 5 short rides on a single speed setup but I didn't like running single speed so the chain ring is in practically new condition apart from the fact that some of the anodising has worn off. So...

Altura Fusion Day saddlebag for sale This is great if you want more storage than the tiny seat packs that you can get but don't want to use a rack or carry a rucksack The bag looks like this http://www.evanscycles.com/products/alt ... 63#reviews It is the same as this one here...

Hi Thanks for the help. My chorus group set was bought in 1990 so I think the 1988 manual must be the right one for my parts. If you go here http://velobase.com/Resource_Tools/CatalogScans.aspx to the campag 1988 dealer parts catalogue and look on page 35 it says max freewheel width is...

Hi Beenrbun, that wheel won't be an upgrade for me so it would be no use as I already have a 6speed chrous freewheel hub. Ideally I would need a hub that would take a cassette. I now know that my rear derailleur can only go to 28 teeth so I will have to change that as well if I want a lower...

I did wonder about re spacing the hub as there is a spacer between the two lock nuts on the non drive side. This spacer is about 1.2mm thick. To get up to the 34.1mm width of the IRD 7 speed freewheel on Spa cycles I think I need an extra 2.1 mm as my campag hub is limited to a 32mm width...

I have a 1990 dyantech racing bike that is 126 OLN at the rear. My bike was bought as a frame and built up with a chorus groupset so it doesn't have a 7 speed indexed shimano set up as per the following catalogue. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/M ... 0.pdf.html I currently have a 13-28...

Okay cheers for the feedback. I just got the 13-28 6 speed block it was an upgrade from the 14-24 5 speed block that was on the bike originally, so that will have to do for the time being. The lowest gear with the 5 speed block was a 47" gear which made it really hard to get up steep hills so I...

Re: Okay cheers for the price estimate. I have no plans to sell it but I was just wondering what it was worth. You are right the frameset was bought along with the chorus groupset and the bike was built up at home. When I looked in the 1990 catalogue it shows the dyantech 700 in a different...
