@Woz, that's right, a bit more exposure might encourage a few more entries, votes or even just get a few more joining in the banter plus as @Scott-S says it does acknowledge the winners work on the larger site, not just within the road bike section. The respect has always been there. Thanks...

There we go! Took me a minute to work out the way to post on there but that should be it up and good to view. The link to the build thread is there as well. Sometimes, patience is good and sometimes a nudge is good too ;) Cheers John :) Jamie

Octobers RBotM is PhilB's stunning 1965 Roberts Cyclocrosser! With a great spread of votes across the entries Phils Roberts commanded over 38% and double the runner ups. Amongst such strong entries it just highlights how lovely this build is. Many congratulations. To read up on the...

Hi Paton Yes I have seen these for sale, it is a gentleman selling them on behalf of Honor and the family to help pay some of the bills from the funeral, the care home he was in after his recent fall etc, so for a very good cause. I had been lucky enough to be gifted a few things by Ken and...

Welcome to Novembers RBotM Competition! This months theme is - Tandems and Trikes!!!!! Or in the case of some, their tandem trikes?? So entries now open for this special theme month. So dig out your tandem or your trike, give it a clean and polish or just fire it in as it is, write a brief...

😂 I did mean tandems and trikes 😂 not tandem trikes 🥱

Yes, Many congratulations to PhillB and his lovely Roberts Cyclocross on taking a convincing win. Very appropriate too as we are into cyclocross season now it's autumn :) Thanks to everyone who entered and all who voted, Thank you! I am waiting to hear back from John about posting on the...

Hi mate I see what you mean but no it's an optical illusion, must be the shadow, as no bulge. Thankfully :) Jamie

Nice looking weather and nice cockpit view yakboy :cool: Well the week before last I managed a couple of days away with my boy down to the Cairngorms for a couple of days. Weather was very hit and miss but tried to make the most of a few days off at the end of the school holidays. We got a few...

Welcome to the Poll for RBotM October - Autumn theme. A great broad spread of entries entered to show whats being ridden over Autumn. I am sure there is something for all tastes. Thanks to all who entered and also to those who joined in the banter. I have also spoken with John who is just...

I have asked the Guvnor, John about putting the Road winner on the front page with the others so should hear back soon. Yes, I am pretty busy but don’t have the permissions for posting on the front page, you have now asked so will see what John says, nothing about being too busy to do. I think...

Hello fellow retrobikers. For some reason I came across this thread and popped in to see when I lasted posted. As while I don't ride my Merckx all the time, it still gets used quite often but more locally now than away. When I looked at the last post about the date codes and realised it was...

NOW SOLD! Hi all A few modern Shimano 105, 11speed , (5800 model) parts for sale. I realise they aren't retro but thought I would offer them here before putting them onto Marketplace or Ebay if nobody wants them. They were procured for a build but ultimately too modern for me :) so I have...

Velo, that looks very interesting. Nothing wrong with an interest, it keeps the mind working. I too have a foot in the electric camp, though the electric side of things is good, I just need to know how it works so I can keep it working :) otherwise it's all a bit much :) It is the other...

Otherself, he was 98 when he passed. Yes those curved tubed frames are a work of art. Jamie

Yes, a very nice JT ATB and I am pretty sure Dr Bond is right in that it's previous owner also owns the green one. I will check on that though as he was riding it in August. Having seen both of them in the flesh, the green one is more a sort of town bike than the obvious ATB style of the red...

A very nice example indeed. Nice spec and hardly used at all. Jamie

Hi Clubby Sorry about the little man, that’s a severe way to learn as it sounds nasty. I remember the local ride we did from your house not long after he got home. Where does the time go. Yeah, Caleb was 15 last month, doing great at school, works several shifts a week at a local hotel serving...

I have spent yesterday and today down in the Cairngorms with Caleb doing a bit of riding. I managed to blag a few days off while Caleb was still on school holidays and not working during the week. Yesterday afternoon when we got down was a complete washout, so not much happening there but today...

Great to have you back Velo! Your absence was noted and you were missed. Hang round and catch up. Good to hear things are going well. Jamie
