    Kona Kula

    Needs a price if you are selling.

    Swap Z2 Superfly yellow for Z2 Superfly black

    Actually I do, the only issue with mine is that is has a different crown, with the bolt-in steerer and missing the two lightening holes. I am happy to do a swap and you switch crown, alternatively to sell you the fork.

    Mystery bike. Trying to identify.

    If you got a 653 framed Edge for £40 then you got the deal of the decade - a wonderful frame indeed. They don't go for strong money but ride every bit as well as hand built exotica.

    Marin Mount Vision Ovation?

    Maybe on a good day £150, much of the value is breaking it for parts, frankly. Nobody wants old 26" full sussers with rim brakes. Apart from loonies like us of course. ;)

    11 speed chains

    Just buy at your LBS or a decent online retailer (ideally LBS) to avoid the (high) chance of a fake. My local guy mainly stocks Taya, and they have given me good service, certainly not significantly different to KMC or SRAM.

    1998 S-Works BB Axle Length

    Nothing at all to do with the bike apart from the shell width (68 or 73mm), all depends on the chainset. Try the Sheldon Brown BB database. My guess is 113mm.

    Retrobike Touring.

    As it's so easy for me to get there, I've visited most of the coastal stuff over the years - originally about 15 years ago with sons on the tandem, some photos back on pages 28 + 29 of this thread!

    Upgrading from 9 to 10 speed.

    I am not sure that's right, seeming as SRAM changed their shift ratios between 9S and 10S. However one man's 'compatible works perfectly' is another's poor match.

    Retrobike Touring.

    Just back from a loop to see the Tour de France in Rouen. I'll keep it brief and let the photos speak for themselves. Day 1: home to Poole (20 miles) for the 0830 ferry to Cherbourg, then onward 45 miles to Ste Mere Eglise (with the famous parachutist on the church tower). Day 2: The excellent...

    cantilevers, mini-v, anything else?

    If you are running bar-end shifters then full size V's and Tektro V levers is a good way to go. There is a hidden nightmare in all this with Shimano's change in road lever cable pull in recent years to NSSLR, this may be why you don't get much from the Dia-Compes. Have you tried the Tektro...

    Wanting to avoid pitfalls of modern tyres on 90's Trek

    Schwalbe Billy Bonkers and Conti Race King work well for me in very similar conditions.

    Wanted USE seatpost grey/silver with 3dv or gold seat clamps

    Got an all gold one, however it's 300mm IIRC.

    Reynolds 531 decal information required!

    But 531ST is a much heavier tubeset being 1.0/0.7mm whereas 531c is 0.9/0.6mm

    Screw on freehubs

    You mean a freewheel? Plenty available from all the usual bike outlets or your LBS.

    '92 Deore LX chainring spacers for GT Pantera

    TA spacers fit and can be sourced new. iIRC they are 5.5mm but can measure if you get stuck.

    Wanted 1” Threadless fork

    Got a Marzocchi Z2 Flylight with a crown off a Z3 and 1" threadless steerer if interested. I'll check steerer length.

    Sorted U.S.E 25mm to 29.4mm shim

    Sorry, mine was 27.2 inner.

    Sorted U.S.E 25mm to 29.4mm shim

    Need to check, I might have one bought in error and sitting in the bits box.

    First time forum user looking for some directions.

    Also the extra weight is advantageous for larger frames (like yours) as it's a stiffer frame as a result.
