Price drop bump - £525 if there's any interest send me a DM

With a great amount of reluctance, I have decided it is time to part ways with my Giant ATX890. When purchased, it had a broken set of unbranded forks, which I switched for the Manitou Answer 4 forks. I bought the forks on here in a state without elastomers. I then had new elastomers shipped...

Re:Pics More pics

I’ve been instructed to de-clutter the garage and have earmarked the following items for sale. Before we get down to the brass tacks, I’d like to state that I do not want to post anything. I realise that this will limit the likeliness of a sale, but over the years I’ve developed a pathological...

Yeah, I gotta say I agree also. A single thread for full bikes would appeal to my lazy nature.

Sugino mighty 900 Spindle length? The bottom bracket shell is 68mm. I've been on Sheldon's site but this doesn't seem to be on there?

Yes, Sintesi, apologies. I'd read the correct spelling several times but stil contrived to spell it with an 'e'. It came with a Sugino Mighty 900 crank set, which I thinking of using. Any ideas on spindle length for one of those? 113mm?

Re: Sentesi Thruster 95 (94?) some assistance please Cheers both, I'll look for an English threaded jobbie then.

I’m not sure how much discussion, if any, there has been about this year’s Brighton Big Dog? Well, this year they’ve dropped the Retro Bike category…. Of the ‘Odd ball’ categorises remaining, there is only the Single Speed. I kind of feel I need to represent Retro Bike at the Big Dog this year...

That was the closest run race I've ever been involved in. Big respect to the Tri Harder team who kept the pressure on for the whole race. Going into the last lap with only a 36 second lead was pretty scary. My brother nailed the final run of the day and guaranteed the win. We had all been...

I've asked around but no one I know seems willing to ride at all, let alone ride on a retro. Team westfail will be there for the second year running. We managed a third place podium finish last year, which was mainly due to the fact that only 4 teams entered, one of which had some sort of...

I never did remove the remainder of the seat tube. - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... p;t=264720 Instead of resorting to caustic soda, I just bought another bike from a local retro biker. I'm just lazy I guess. I got this Marin (pictures 1-2) Fitted some parts I'd been saving...

I bought a full bike from Joe and would highly recommend him. Good communications throughout and really helpful from beginning to end. Many thanks for your help.
