Sorry - I had a root around through my spares and found a set I’d forgotten about that I can use, I’ll pass on these. All yours @klunkrider if you still need them.

Are the cheap Shimano canti’s still available at £5 +post Dom? Cheers Marc

I got these tyres off of a bike which I stripped for spares. They have decent tread but after a spirited ride this morning I noticed the sidewall on one side of the rear tyre has a split forming: Does anyone want them for display use before they go in the bin? Just cover the postage and they’re...

That’s beautiful, thanks for sharing the pics. 👌

Thanks for responding to the ad. I think I have something lined up which I can make work but if that doesn’t happen I’ll get back to you.

Thanks for all the info and encouragement above, I have had a tinker with this and raided my spares stash to get it to here: The drop bars/stem and the carbon/white seatpost have been swapped out to this flat bar setup. I had forgotten that I had the Cinelli Groove stem but I think it works on...

Cheers for the pointer, I’ll keep digging. Tbh I’d consider another Montage in 21” - I have one in 19” and that rides really well, I’m 5’10” so the larger frame will be a better fit. 👍

I’m talking about the bikes that Raleigh put out with the Tange Unique-X headsets like on my Montage: Thunder Road in tequila sunrise paint with the same headset: I know that you’ve been around mtb’s forever and I respect that but please don’t use a wanted ad to troll someone, especially if...

I think Raleigh Ozarks, Thunder Road are 531 and 21.1mm, my 501 Montage is too. I had a late 80’s Orbit Frontier that was too.. I know it’s an obscure-ish size but I’m sure they’re out there.

Bit of a niche one but I’d thought I’d put a post up to see if anyone can help. I’m looking for an 80’s mtb/atb in size 21”, it needs to take a 21.1mm quill stem - like a late 80’s Raleigh, or I know the Orbit frontiers did too. Reynolds 531 preferred or maybe 501? Has anyone got anything...

Road bikes are not my usual thing but I thought I’d share this here: This was given to me by a good friend of mine who has given up track cycling and needed to clear space at home. I don’t know too much about it other than it was originally a track/training bike for Ben Swift. His nickname...

This probably isn’t going to help but: All I can make out on mine is the 8 under where pro is stamped. Pretty sure these are powder coated from factory and it’s obscured the stamping pretty much. Sorry can’t help much here.. :)

I’ll let you know on the levers, if no one wants the whole lot I could potentially split. You might be right on the mechs actually now that you say it - I’m not 100%. Anyone else know?

Selling as a complete lot (hopefully!): Shimano 600 Arabesque bits + Tourney callipers. Campagnolo crankset, bottom bracket (gc) 112mm x 68mm English. Nuovo Record mechs, gran sport calliper. All for £130 posted uk. Thanks
