Shimano BR-R550 cantilever brake New (but dusty!) Includes pads and two straddle cables Packaging is ripped £20 posted please (net to me).

Hideous but I like it 8-)

Not to be confused with much later ones that came free on the cover, this was a competition prize in MBUK from 2008. If memory serves me correctly there was only 50 made. I've never removed it from its packaging. Sold at £30+post.

The description reads like something my slightly senile (but mostly compos mentis) father would write.

Kappa! Love it. Hope you've got some red popper tracksuit pants to go with it ;-)

That's a nice buy for £84. Caldera was one below the Explosif, is that right?

Nothing to do with me but I am partial to White Industries. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/187667413549

How much :D ?

Here's a photo of my old Sunn. The build was rather prosaic at that point - it had been demoted to commuter status by then - but check out the custom paint. I dread to think how much that cost me BITD.

The best riding hardtail I've ever had - and I've tried titanium, 853, niche fillet brazed Columbus etc. - was a posh steel Sunn. I think it was a 1997. It was like a coiled spring in all the right ways. I got some Strava KOMs on that as late as 2017. I don't remember the tubing unfortunately.

Have those cantis gone yet? I'll have them if not please.

Bump and a price drop

Wow, where to start. The short version is - RIP both (and yes they were the same company, though not until the 2010s IIRC when Wiggle bought CRC). The websites live on but are now owned by Mike Ashley, a man who people may have opposing views on, but safe to say he is not someone who has any...

I figured discs and a weird gear setup was, if not properly retro, at least niche enough for this forum ;) . Full bike here if you're interested: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/scott-addict-cx-2009-dinglespeed.497391/ As an aside, my proper road bike is a rim brake Epoca R30 from 2017 and...

I've been culling my spares drawer and this is the items left I can't be bothered to sell separately. I think they'd be worth more parted out and I have no issues with you doing this should you so wish. 1. Selection of Hope Pro 2 end caps 2. Shimano cleats - one new set, one very lightly used...

Does a carbon bike from 2009 even warrant a post on Retrobike? I believe it does, these are looking more retro now than I like to admit... Bought on a whim as a complete bike from eBay because I've always wanted a frame with an integrated seatpost. The components on it were all shagged and it...

Here are the new brakes looking well and working nicely. Despite the wildly different straddle cable lengths, they feel good :) .

I remember thinking they were ugly when they came out. It's a right tube-a-lube-a-saurus.
