Yep they'll do the job nicely. Thanks minifreak. Will message you now.

Not mtb related as such but will be using mtb parts. I've just saved an old Raleigh road bike from scrap and want to build it for myself (Has a nice Campagnolo 2 x 8 speed groupset, it's the right size for me and it's purple 😂). It has been converted to flat bars by the previous owner and I want...

Struggled today (mentally and physically) but managed a 20 mile ride. At least I can say I'm not a quitter.

Today was a good day. I got War Horse up and running (not perfect but good enough to do a decent ride) and then managed 23 miles with a fair bit of climbing. My first ride over 20 miles since my pain started 6 weeks ago (a complication from a rib injury). It hurt but it felt great. No doubt I...

When I saw this come up on here I wanted it so badly as I had to sell my ATX 980 last year. Didn't think I'd even afford this frame but I had a lot of help from the retrobike community and I'm forever thankful as it meant I could keep my passion alive which I didn't think I'd be able to. This...

How much would it be for the shifters and dérailleurs please? Not worried about a crankset so much as I have something I can use for that.

As you may remember I got this old beauty many months ago and it's been hanging up since as I've not been able to afford to build it. Well yesterday I sold a bike and I'm planning to sell a couple more so I can build this. So I'm looking for a groupset. Does anyone have a cheap 3x9 groupset? I...

Decided to take the old Raleigh out for a ride today (nothing to do with the fact it's my only working bike). I'm limited to short rides at the moment due to a rib injury. Probably not the best steed to take off road when bumps hurt 😂 but still 15 miles isn't too bad. As much as this bike is...

I've ended up with a selection of bikes after trying to help a friend. One of them being a cheap ladies carrera which seems to have had an impact to the rear derailleur. I've replaced the hanger as that was bent but turns out the rear derailleur has been damaged. Does anyone have a SRAM 9...

Ignore me. I'm just struggling with life at the moment.

That's more downhill based isn't it? I really need an XC bike for the endurance challenge. Wish I could get my old Marin 29er back in action but I can't get the pivot bolts for it anywhere (even tried local engineering firms to make new ones but they can't) and struggling to find a rear shock to...

Not that clued up on the specializeds. Is that the one with the shock in the seatstay like the Epic had? Just wondering how good it would be for a 24hour xc race with a lot of climbing.

I do love the GTs. Had a couple of idrives I never got to build up as every one I've had has ended up cracked. I'd be too scared to plough this much money into an idrive after the last ones. Thanks though.

Now before anyone says anything, I know the chance of finding something good in my budget is slim but if life has taught me anything this year it's that the only failure is not even trying. I'm looking for a full suspension frame (size large) with rear shock for around £150. I'm hoping to build...

Hi all. Does anyone by any chance have a cheap set of 27.5 forks with tapered steerer for standard quick release wheels? I'm building a winter bike out of an old Saracen I was given. Thank you. Sorry all. My main bike has now decided to break so I need to find a bike I can build this week...

😂 haven't even seen your thread (I'll be honest I don't have time to scroll through the forum, I just post when I get a rare chance - this ride was days ago and only just got a chance to post it on here) I just like Metallica...although I prefer Enter Sandman to be honest.

First ride out. Put some semi slick tyres on that I had lying around and a pair of modern pedals that are more comfortable to me. Not everyone's cup of tea but I enjoy riding it and as Metallica once sang ...Nothing else matters.

Finally had a day off work so managed to get the Raleigh finished. Took it out for a 13 mile test ride just to check everything is OK. It rides great but took a bit of time to adapt to narrow bars and a 23" steel frame 😂.

I'm torn on the reflectors. Normally they would be the first thing to go but with this they add a touch of retro goofiness and I'm not sure if I want to get rid of that. I'll be keeping it fairly standard but the tyres are shot so need to replace them with whatever I have lying around (I can't...

I've barely had a chance to ride lately. I've been working so much and I've developed health problems which are likely to be stress related from work (apparently stress can really f**k your body up - I need to find a new job). Tonight I think I released all of my frustrations because I've never...
