I've found the catalogue on Mombat: Mine's a 1994 "classic" I've owned it for 2/3 of its life😍 They didn't make many with sloping dropouts, even from 1988, but European racers are resistant to change. By the late 90s vertical drops were normal in a pro race

Doesn't the post with the grubscrew setting have a flat b strip on the back? A common problem with these is when you replace the saddle, the rail to top difference, or indeed the give in the saddle base, causes you to want to move the saddle 2mm, but the grubscrew just finds its way back into...

I agree with the sentiment, but I don't think good cycle behaviour helps the "sorry mate I didn't see you" which is probably the most dangerous driver. The e- scooters and illegal deliveroo stylie e-bikes are so random and chaotic in Bristol now that they are the new hate objects. With...

I believe if you want snappy police response you a want an active crime, with weapons involved. If you want an easy life, you don't

It's 1" I know it's earlier than 97 The frame shapes are all quite simple.

I suspect the age and gender of the perpetrator resulted in greater requirement for legal compliance. I saw a couple of shirtless guys one wheelying on an e-motorbike the other riding a quad without plates, straight past an assortment of law enforcement, they didn't bat an eyelid. Many...

Flighty the litespeed Awaiting date info from here: Aaah😍

I've owned this around 20 years. I'm sure I used to know what year it was. I wanted to put the date into the thread about ti welds https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/the-titanium-weld-and-detail-appreciation-thread.496091/page-5 but found all the Litespeed catalogue photos seemed to feature...

Just round the lanes On flighty: .

Loads of enthusiasm, but nobody waving the readies. Post a link. Sometimes we get asked for rare stuff. Usually though they want it for peanuts.🙄

I think I've got a 25dead post vitus style in the post rack - although you might get a bargain from a private seller? I can grub around tomorrow.

I recently sold a complete yo w/xtr gearset, loads of "interest", advertised at £1400 It was a Timewaster Magnet, went for 12 after a year. The number of people who were "definitely going to buy it mate" smashed all shop records. You can always get lucky though.

I love the 5 different, incompatible 26" wheel sizes🥳 26/559 mtb 26x1 3/8 590mm roadster 26x1 1/4 597mm Mid century sport 26x 1 1/2 utility 584mm 650c 26 continental race 571mm

=584mm bead seat diameter. 700=622mm 26=559mm

Disc allows us to swap wheel size. but you can buy decent 26s used for peanuts because mtbers are clearing out their sheds. As a rule price determines quality. Beware cheap wheels. 27.5 is about a half inch larger in radius, so if you swap a 26x2.1 (around 52mm) for a 27.5x40, you'll get...

You best bet is to borrow a pair of wheels and see what fits. You can usual get a gravelly 27.5 into a mtb 26 - like this:

Maybe in London the police have already stopped the balaclava wearing e-bikers traveling at 35mph through a pedestrian zone? But not Bristol🙄

OK cool, you "peel back" those hoods then, so we can fit newbies😉

Bristol evening Post went to write a story in cyclists jumping Red lights c2018 They went to the junction of Cheltenham Rd and Ashley Rd iirc. To the journalist's surprise, more cars jumped the lights than cycles, and where the cycles were often leaving early into empty space to get ahead of...

Worse than Sticky Saddle?
