XTR rear wheel has made it's way to North Yorkshire... Currently has a home on the Orange bitzer... Also, @bikeworkshop is such a good bloke that he chucked in the 105 front wheel free of charge even though it cost more to post it. Not many sellers would do that, so thank you!

'Round beads with straight bits' sounds like Nokon: https://road.cc/content/review/33456-nokon-slimline-cable-set

Top of tread to bottom of seatstay yoke is 10mm, edge of tread to inside of seatstays is 13mm... NDS clearance is 14mm, DS is 10mm... There's about 7mm clearance to the anti-chainsuck plate but you could always file a bit off!

I recently built some DT R500's for a 700c gravel bike and out of curiosity I've just fitted one to my F5 to see how much clearance it had... That's with a Pirelli Cinturato M 700x40mm and there's still enough room for mudguards. That frame is a 16.5 inch so it would probably look a bit...

The 'two skinny donuts' antenna on the Elettra looks like a direction finding antenna so it's possibly the control dial for that? (looks like it's divided up into 360 degrees)

It was @Enid_Puceflange's Super V that was the catalyst for the '97 cut off date. There was no 'Pre 98' category when he posted it but because it was full sus with discs and dual crown forks people spat their tea out and choked on their hob nobs. It turned into a 12 page thread about what...

On early versions the drive side end cap has a small grub screw which tightens on to the axle. On later versions the drive side end cap has an o-ring inside which sits in a groove on the axle. Use plenty of grease on it as if it dries out it becomes quite hard to get the end cap off.

Carbon Jekyll maybe? Shock is mounted inside the downtube and the chain looks like it's running over an idler.

Point Reyes lighthouse is the Antonio Bay lighthouse in 'The Fog'. Doesn't look quite so spooky on Google maps... :)

Just bought the shiniest M730 rear mech I've ever seen from Tootyred. Good comms, excellent price, another happy buyer. Cheers! ND

Yeah, generally just on the front axle. They're to stop the front wheel falling out if the quick release or wheel nuts aren't tight enough.

They look like they might be the safety washers for the front axle.

Still available? (The rear mech, not the lemon :))

Bikes dragged out of a damp shed and described as 'genuine barn find'. "Oh really? Under a dust sheet next to the '54 D-Type was it?" Pull the other one. As for features, any frame with an unfeasibly high top tube. I know early MTBs had a lot of 'road bike DNA' but that's no excuse to make a...

I think the dropout may have been made by Hope which is why the anodising is a different shade. I've got one knocking around in the spares box from when I ran Hope C2s on my F5. It takes the No.1 caliper (err, I think!). It's whichever caliper has the mounting hole to the right of the piston...

Tioga cast aluminium hanger with cinch bolt... https://is.gd/ReIwmd Basically the same as a hangdoggy but without the Syncros tax.

Seller reckons it's a 1" head tube which rules out F6 and later. Round seat tube with round seat clamp rules out F3 and earlier. Normally the frame number would include the F number but that one looks a bit 'non-standard'.
