    Can this bike be saved ?

    As above really. The only alarm bell I can see from the picture is why is there a seat post clamp bolted on below the seat post qr. Is it hiding a cracked seat tube?

    Wanted Speedplay Frogs

    Here are some pics. First set is mint, can't see any signs of use. New cleats and shoe shields. Second set is used, some minor scuffs but really nothing, used cleats but look barely touched. Both have super smooth bearings with no play and no marks to spindles at all.

    Modern chainset question

    I have been building a road bike but it's stalled. All done bar the cabling. The main reason it's stalled is I'm not quite happy with the chainset, or at least I think I'm not. Running a 2x10 rival and force drive train. Chainset currently fitted is a new fsa gossamer pro. I go through...

    199(?) Saracen Hardtrax

    I'd say for 95 it would be 135 rear spacing. 130 died out before then.

    Wanted Speedplay Frogs

    I think I've got a couple of sets of these, some cleats too. I'll dig them out and send some pics. I was planning at one point to try them as I've had a few knee ops but I've gone back to flats mostly or use crank bros for cleated action. I couldn't swear to it until I find them but one pair...

    I'm sure at some point quill stems will be reinvented. Hang in there.

    A genuine question about the dork disc?

    I done personally like the look of them and on the rare occasion a bike or wheels has one attached, it gets removed. They do serve a purpose and there is one set of wheels I run one on, Mavic crossmax. The fat spokes are quite expensive to replace and the Mavic dork disc isn't an ugly bit of...

    M780 XT triple rings SORTED!

    Hectic week, catching up on admin. Here's a few pics of a couple of sets of triple rings I have. Top are nos xt, never been fitted or seen a chain. The lower set in pics is used, by that I'd say new take off. They've seen a chain but briefly as literally no wear. They aren't xt, can't remember...

    150mm rear shock: who made them?

    Not sure who did 150mm shocks bitd, the usual suspects I'm sure. I do have an older fox in 155mm i2i which could potentially work for you? https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/retro-air-shocks-fox-and-risse.436621/

    Chris king headset

    Someone may have to explain this channel. There's still a significant part of the cup the same size as it was that needs pressing into a known fragile head tube. I figure the top and bottom of the head tube won't have the cup pressing against it once fitted, I'd that the fix for the problem...

    Removing a swine of a bottom bracket

    I don't believe so, I think it was a hope ti or a fairly decent Shimano. What did they come fitted with them,? The lightning I bought ages ago and must build was quite modified in the component department, even had hope mono disc brakes via an adapter at the rear and some questionable more...

    Suntour Cassette conundrum

    In my experience, everything xc pro was awesome kit. Dare I say better than any Shimano equivalent. The only issue was the rear hub and cassette due to the proprietary fitting. That said, it lasts so if you did break out the expensive cassette you bought, it will probably outlast the bike...

    Chris king headset

    I'm not sure if fancy cutting a headset. Crown race yes. If a headset tends to work in most frames but can cause failure in others, not sure if blame the headset, though the design of the Christmas king using the rubber o-ring to grip the steerer tube over the compression style could allow...

    1 1/8" quill stem options, with removeable faceplate

    Ringle, if you can find one without cracks. I think an I-beam existed with a removable face plate, could be wrong there.
