Greatly appreciate you finding this for me but I'm sorted now, thanks.

Thanks a lot for the offer and the trouble you took rooting these out. But... the slightly bent alloy one is too short. The other is more than I was wanting to pay. It's for a budget build and a tenner tops is what I had in mind. I might end up with a 7/8" BMX post shimmed to approx 24.0. Thanks...

Great stuff. Thanks for quick response. Happy to wait until you're back in workshop. Photo would be good. Please let me know the price when you you get back. Thanks again.

Hi all, I'm looking for one of those 24.0 mm diameter seat posts that Peugot used in the 1980s. Can be steel or aluminium. Ideally between 200 and 300 mm in length. Sat here with fingers crossed.

The frame came with Ellis Briggs decals. But it's not one of their hand built lightweights. Judging by the fork rake, lug style and other signs (including frame no. stamped on head lug) I'm guessing at late 1940s early '50s. It appears to have been built for a Sturmey Archer gear as there is...

Thanks very much Keith. Every bit of info helps. The chainline dimension might help with the RH side of the axle configuration.

Hi all, I'm in the process of building a bike that will be driven by a Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub and a Williams C34 crankset. I've assembled most of the bits but I'm stuck on how to determine the length (& configuration) of the BB axle. The BB shell is a non-standard 65mm. Any help would be...

It's all in bits at the moment. If I don't source the low stack headset there won't be a build. UNLESS I swap the P2 threaded forks for a set with a longer steerer.

I'm re-building a '93 Cinder Cone. I need a threaded 1 1/8" headset with a stack height of 30mm or less. Threaded steerer is 140 mm and head tube is 110 mm. Do any of you guys know if there's anything out there to suit? Cheers.

Thanks for assistance and offers. I'm sorted now thanks. Cheers :)

Thanks. Yes. I'm interested. How much posted?

Need a 175 mm LEFT HAND crank. Must be M563 (circa 1993) to match the RH. I'm keeping fingers crossed

Can anyone please tell me if I can still get compatible replacement inserts and if so, who sells them. Cheers.

I'm starting a build and before I hit the usual snags I thought I'd seek some expert advice on here. I have some STX-RC 7 speed shifters/brake levers that I want to use with a 7 speed cassette. I want to put the 7 speed cassette on a nice wheel that is built with an XT 9 speed hub. The back end...

Re: Thanks for taking the time to respond. As you said - nothing fancy. Was looking for something a bit cooler for the bike I'm putting together. I'll see if anything else turns up. Thanks again.
