Well, after almost two years, and another child, i finally got around to actually restoring this thing. After blasting, it was hung in the garage, and then later stuck o a shelf, and then covered up. A couple of weeks ago, i decided to pull my finger out of my arse, and dug the frame out and...

Brilliant responses guys, thank you. I now now exactly what to be lokoing for. I knew there'd be people on here who'd know exactly what to recommend. I'm shocked to see the prices of used and battered M900 groupsets though! Christ.

Hi guys, I fear i'm going to be 'one of those idiots' here who annoy you on a daily basis, and i'm just going to blindly ask for help. I should say that i'm pretty savvy on road components, but i'm clueless when it comes to MTB in general. I've got a TREK Singletrack 920 which i'm going to...

Does anyone have a Sugino impel triple crankset they’re happy to sell? lookimg for something in good to excellent condition, if possible please. many thanks, Phil

Thank you for the response! This is really useful. To answer your first point, i'm not at all bothered about it being period correct. I'm more concerned with price as this is bike no.5 and the wife is... not impressed. I get from reading though that things being period correct are a bog part of...

This is correct. Sorry to be a pain. would these brake Levers work with cantis? https://www.bikester.co.uk/shimano-deore-trekking-bl-t610-brake-lever-front-wheel-M129701.html?vgid=G473907&cgid=37215 I see so many brakes advertised a ‘v brake levers’ but I thought they were all compatible. Is...

Looks like the set that are on there at the minute, and i'm trying to do away with as much black as possible.

I've just realised that the crankset i have is pressed together, as opposed to bolted, so definitely not possible to replace the chainrings. I do like the look of the STX RC chainset, though. What's a reasonable price to pay for that?

I also want to add some Maxxis DTH tan wall tyres, but they‘re expensive AF these days, so I think I’m going to go for the Billy bonkers 2

Hi all, i was fortunate enough to pick up a Trek singletrack 930 for the princely sum of £30. I’ve dismantled it in its entirety and there are a few things I want to replace. The bike itself is 3x8, and the cassette and derailleurs are in good working order, and I don’t want to replace them...

Just bought a Trek Singletrack 930 for £30 off eBay. Not sure what you think is worth £400 on this.

I did see his listings, yeah. I’m quite particular about it being a Columbus frame. All my other bikes are Columbus. It’s not that I have OCD, I’m just a picky twat.

Would be interested in this if you’re ever up Cheshire way

Hi all, In addition to an old Cannondale, i'm also looking for a Columbus-tubed Explosif or Kilauea, if anyone has one? I'm in Cheshire, and can travel an hour or so in any direction. Thanks, Phil.

Hi all, After sorting myself a nice plastic road bike, and a retro Columbus SLX bike, i want to build a gravel bike off a Cannondale M500. It was my dream bike as a teenager and spent hours looking at them in catalogues. Anyone got a frameset for sale? must be in good condition, which I get is...
