    Restomod 1997 proflex 857

    Thanks for the colour code. Yeah I am a bit of a Girvin/Noleen freak so the Noleen brochure is invaluable...you've probably already seen this but here's my Fatbike

    Restomod 1997 proflex 857

    Liking the colour...do you have a code for it as been looking for a non-yeti turqouise for a project. Very nicely done. Only one thing...have you stuck to the critical measurement for the crosslinks as the top arm looks a little high?

    Wot happened to fat bikes

    Great that you are passing on proper adventure biking to the younger generation. Went to the Malverns this year for the first time and was sad to see huge amounts if teenagers on 7k+ E-bikes. It was like an arms race..😞

    FORK-English: the final countdown!

    I've had success restoring my Spinergies and HED wheels using 2k clear lacquer. You do need to sand the surface first (600 to 800 grit), to get good adhesion. Not done any Pace fork legs but I imagine they were made with pre-preg epoxy so 2k should be OK

    A Very British Klunker

    Malverns Classic 2025

    Ok after I got home from the York Show on Sunday and my wife saw how pumped I was about the weekend she said I should go to the Malverns on the Friday as long as I was home on the Thursday for GCSE results😁 So game on... do we have a Retrobike camping area like York or is it a bit more sporadic?
