I’ll need to drink less of them this year John!

I’ve replied to the PM saying same. Ditch the retainers, pack it full of grease, get new bearings on ebay or a LBS if one exists. Best of luck Ben. Reg

No, sorry. Ciao

Extremely late to this thread – sorry not sorry – but I’ve got the gist that there’s no Friday camping so I guess I won’t bother. I got a permission pass from SWMBO but I’m physically not able to ride atm, so coming for shits and giggles and shits would be my only reason. I’m booked on for...

Really pleased for you Lee. Now I wanna see a celebratory white skid mark on black tarmac á la Jo Burt on those white Porcs! 🤍

Flowers and white tires gets my vote this month.

I have such inexperience I don’t know the difference between retro heavy or retro super light, But I have held Joe Breeze’s Lightning ‘GT3’ @ 18 lbs with pedals and barends which is just absurd and totally amazing to behold - and hold. If only I could’ve ridden THAT!

It seems I neglected to post the top 10 “winners’” rosette photo. Not taken it off yet. Haven’t even cleaned the bike. I’m pleased that after re-reading the whole thread I have hopefully satisfied those who said it must be ridden but to whom I previously stated I wouldn’t. And it didn’t break...

Cheers. Got it NOS from US ebay. Then I painstakingly redrew all the graphics and cut them from vinyl (using plotter, not by hand!) to get a team-style Troy Lee lid. My friend Aaron Faust still has his original from riding on Team Yeti as a trials rider, so I took photos when I visited to get...

M9000 are hardly retro. (Great pedals though - I use M9020!) Try ebay or FB Marketplace 👍

Time for a slight update... I decided to make a few tweaks before taking it to the 2021 GT Bicycles Malverns Classic last month and braved the competition to enter it into the Muc-Off 'Retro Show & SHine', judged by a prestigious and noteworthy panel of judges including Retorbike's own Chris...

Thanks - easy mistake to make even if you knew/remembered ‘the rules’! Beautiful set.

What did they sell for? Can you repost the pics for future reference. Note: you are meant to leave sold prices in original advert. Thanks
