Voted regular long Voted regular long - all my club jerseys are sdhort sleeve so a nice long sleeve one will fill a gap in my wardrobe.

Flat 'normal' diameter bars, preferable silver, for fitting to a 1993 Fire Mountain via a Profile quill stem. (Don't really want the super skinny bars with the shim at the clamp) Profile quill stem with the canti cable feed guide on the underside. for the Kona as above. Drop me an email if...

Thanks Laurence - let me know what you find. Sunchaser - I don't need the straddle wires so you would be welcome to those.

Steel Kona bike or frame wanted for project. 1994-1997 era prefered. Condition not particularly important but frame needs to be sound. Anyone got anything lying around?

ABC Fabrications in Nailsea (nr Bristol/Clevedon) shot blast and powder coat frames for £30 and seem to do most RAL colours. I had one done recently and it seemed like a good job but then I have nothing to compare it with? A lot of the Bristol bikies seem to use them though.

Yes Stick Legs - same box! Wheels true and gripshoft slick so thanks for those. Why did grip shift go out of fashion? I have decided I quite like them. Particularly the ability to 'fine tune' the front mech position on the move to avoid annoying grinding noises in certain gears.

Yes - sorry about the red chainset. Nice middleburn rings but just not on this bike. I will change when a suitable replacement is available. Thanks for tips on the cantis - I will have a fiddle around with them. Bike is set up as 8 speed when I guess it really should have been 7 and with...

New Years Day dawn ride Did a dawn ride on the 1st. Great to set off in the dark and have the sun of a new year rise while you are out. Did around 30 flattish miles on my road going fixie. Country lanes were filthy and flooded - got as muddy as I would have done off road!

New Stronglight 1" threaded headset. Comes with special tool to tighten. Needle bearings. Never fitted to a bike. Lovely piece of kit. Any interest?

Stem cap for top of Velocity stem (from around 1995 I think). Would consider complete stem if in OK condition as long as it inclides the top cap and has the canti cable routing guide. Also wanted Curve canti parts. In particulat the springs and the front bolt plates used for ajusting the...

Thanks guys

Front mech band size and seat post clamp size need for 1994 Kona Fire Mountain. Can anyone help please?

Long shot I know! Would be grateful to hear if anyone has some or knows how to get/make some.
