Obviously, in order to be accepted as a ‘Retrobike’ a bike must have cantilevers (or older braking system). V-brakes aren’t retro, they’re simply an unnecessary technology, filling a void between cantilevers and hydraulic discs. Remove them, put them in the bucket of spares at the back of...

Bloody lovely 👏

Let’s not forget the other benefit of tubeless… Coloured valves 🥰

As title. In the process of refurbing some RC30s and need replacement decals in white and black (unsure on finish at the moment). Anyone got any? Can supply dimensions if required. Thanks.

Nah, never gets old. “Is that a Zaskar?” “Why hello there, yes, yes it is. An LE in fact. What’s that you say? My phone number? Of course.”

Volume of sealant depends on size of tyre. Don’t be too anal about hitting a specific amount. Somewhere more or less than 100ml? I inflate mine with a standard floor pump. Since going tubeless, I have never had to stop a ride due to a puncture. The ability to run lower pressures has also...

I’ve noticed an increase in sellers with unrealistic expectations of what their kit is worth recently. Some are taking it very personally when you offer a more realistic sum. it is undeniable that there was a bubble, but it has now burst and prices are slowly returning to more reasonable...

In the past few weeks I’ve travelled as south as Taunton and as far north as Telford to collect bikes and parts. Stay out of the red zone and you’ll get no trouble, see 😉

Stay outta my patch, you hear me.

Too late for this one but every new steel frame I buy gets a liberal spray of clear waxoyl in every hole before further assembly. Invariably I’m not the one to benefit but there are plenty of old bikes out there that I’ve previously coated internally and are now being ridden rust free by...

Seat tube is fairly low stressed relative to the rest of the frame, ride and enjoy… unless you find the sight of it offensive.

Great memories 👍🏻

Checking for my own sanity… yup. https://gearmechhanger.com/product/pilo-d145-cnc-gear-mech-hanger-derailleur-hanger/

Originals are hard to come by but if you don’t mind not having the GT logo, Pilo make one, model D145 I think.

Forgot I had this for sale bump
