    ebay found a new way to screw with buyers

    Very sad and depressing but I fear we are unable to avoid eBay in this hobby. If there were a fair and ethical version it wouldn't be commercially viable and would likely be missing the feature set that makes eBay accessible to all. I am constantly amused when collecting items when folks who...

    ebay found a new way to screw with buyers

    I always struggled with the word 'won' in relation to eBay.

    Ti Donohue mini 'build' thread

    A new saddle and lighter modern chain have taken some more weight off and a little fiddling around with the front mech position and fine tuning has made the shifting super slick. I had to source a 111mm BB to get chainline exactly right for the braze-on front mech. but all is...

    Ti Donohue mini 'build' thread

    Successfully replaced BB and Chainset with matching Campagnolo record items - which not only look nicer but also weigh a lot less. Scrubbed the frame with 'extra fine' nylon scouring pad to remove accumulated gronk and treated with lightly applied WD40 to restore the titanium to...

    Ti Donohue mini 'build' thread
