    Panaracer Pasela pro-tite tire review

    For balance, I reckon I have 10,000 + miles on Paselas commuting through London - I have exclusively used them on commuter bikes for nearly 15 years - not sure which version, but probably the steel bead cheapest one in most case cos they were a good deal at trade. Obviously I had a few punctures...

    3 (THREE!) Jack Taylors in one eBay auction

    I reckon I'd take a punt on the light blue or green and red one as is for under £200, but I only want one, and I can't collect, and it would be risky!

    How much is my road bike (or parts of) worth?

    Likely its a legit Fuquay, he built plenty of cross and TIG's aluminium later on, no reason to fake a Fuquay too I shouldn't think! There was a bike shop somewhere near where he lived that at one point had quite a few Fuquay bits, I think he built frames for a local team? Can't remember where...

    Chainsets for old legs

    I'd forgotten about that weirdness, it is, I think, theoretically, a brilliant idea only brought down by Campagnolo Campagnolo'ing it up by immediately sacking off the idea and changing the cassette splines so 35 years later it is nigh on impossible to find the requisite parts. As I say...

    Chainsets for old legs

    If you can find the cranks then 86 BCD rings are fairly widely available, they go down to 26 tooth (IIRC) and up to 50+ all on the same BCD, you can run one, two, or three rings with the right bolts and spacers and BB on the same cranks.

    I'm not qualified enough to comment on this!

    I don't know what people expect with eBay sometimes, this person is trying to sell the frame for a colossal sum based mostly on the fact that it was once, briefly, owned by a very high profile former professional, the sort of person who people build replica bikes of at great expense but they at...

    For Sale Independent fabrication Ti-delux

    I call it the "jazz" fest, as none of the acts describe themselves as jazz! Just coincidence, we have family there, I'll leave my phone at home when I hit the pubs just in case. GLWS!

    Campag equipped Longstaff Tandem

    Great buy, we have just got into the tag-along and I think a tandem would be great but I'd never physically get one in the house! Definitely worth the £66 to try it out - good luck!
