Two from the Thursday supermarket trip Raleigh Arena in a nice shade of blue, same guards I am putting on my Viscount too! Sad Condor with some 'neglect bingo' for you to play...

There are loads of different types of Apex which is half the trouble. I found this; So 119mm might be the one. I think I will order one and offer it up to see.

I _think_ I will need a longer spindle than that, just researching a swamp of conflicting info on SR Apex cranks to see if I'm right. I also have a worn out Mavic unit I can hopefully use as a test when i get home. Will let you know, many thanks!

I'm back making progress on this after the summer holiday/TT bike hiatus - It's now in the stand and I'm busy hanging parts on it. First I bought a pleasingly shaped SR bar off ebay to replace the narrow, badly scored non-branded one the bike came with. The shorties sit well I think. 600...

Sent you a PM :)

So with a couple of hundred kms on this bike in the setup above, I played around with the saddle height and fore/aft position. I changed the old ITM Adamo for a slightly newer ITM Attack. I liked the split nose design for comfort in the aero position, but found the Adamo nose 'arms' a bit wide...

Thanks all for your responses, I'm just waiting on 3wheeler's pictures and I'll decide what sutis best by the weekend! Much appreciated. :)

It's a classic. A great frame for someone too. See my build of an Audax here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/thorn-audax-mk1-refurb.411628/ Much discussion of the sticker and tubing a couple of pages in too!

Yeah, could do! pm me a picture and price. 👍

Hi all, after a pair of decent quill pedals to complete my Viscount build. MKS Sylvan, SR SP-100s, anything along those lines. Ideally with L toeclips with decent chrome. Thanks! 🙏

I would love a Prodigy! They are very interesting frames, USA made I think. The Super was one of the very last steel frames in the peloton I think? The original P2 that started the ball rolling for them around 1997 is also a fantastic looking machine. The fully profiled seattube/mast looks...

Having very much enjoyed Blackbike's thread on building up his TT frame I thought I would share my current journey to a similar goal. I know, I know, "you already have two unfinished project threads" I hear you shout - well, this one is already a rideable bike so it doesn't count. ;) Here I...

Couple from a wander through town the other day... Well cared for CB at the bike co-op (locking could use work)! Another unassuming but reliable 531 frame, Holdsworth Corsair.

It will be fine. Plenty of other modern bikes pop up in For Sale with no issue. Put a date in the title and people can just scroll past if they are not interested. :)

Here are a couple of our Galaxy Twin back in 2020 before and during an amazing post-lockdown tour along the south coast. This was our first big tour at about 800km and we learnt a lot from it but had a fantastic adventure. The bike is from 2007, so frame is all alu with a steel fork, a good...
