    Wanted Kona P2 forks 1 1/8 unthreaded? Now resolved!

    I’ve found an old Kona frame ( mid 90’s) and wanted to add some rigid forks. The obvious choice is some P2’s ( I think but don’t really know). Has anyone go any they want to sell?

    Resilion brake conundrum

    I've got these for a Selbach I've been meaning to build for a few years. I've got the levers and the Calipers but the cables remain a conundrum- I have the remains of some and can see that they split so that each Caliper has its own cable but not in a way I can improvise a working set - finding...

    Bespoke Bristol

    Well I really enjoyed this event this year - especially Holdsworth( even if it is Planet X!) and Condor stands as well as a the smaller bicycle builders. Some interesting talks too.

    Minor Selbach mystery

    Why would a Selbach have a large 'D' on the seat tube? I've looked and it seems too big to be pert of a B or R ( in Maurice Selbach)

    Bespoked Bristol

    i was wondering what other people thought of this event. It was filled with stunning bikes, designs and frames. It was great to see some frame builders detailing their work with great lug designs and references to pre 1970's. On the downside £15 entrance and perhaps a lack of anything...

    Selbach: what kind of brakes ?

    Does anyone know what kind of brakes a 1930' Selbach road bike would have. Pictures Ive seen suggest quite basic looking single pivot caliper brakes....

    Going to see the Queen

    It was an honour today to cycle alongside Sybil on her way to London by bicycle to pick up her MBE. She had I believe set up a accessible cycling project for disabled children in Cardiff. I stayed with her group of lovely friends for about 12 miles before heading elsewhere - including the Two...

    Cottered bottom bracket advice needed

    Well I've got the Holdsworth Cyclone back and the transformation is remarkable. However, I need to install a bottom bracket - I've got a single chater lea crank and will need to use a cottered bottom bracket. Trouble is I've no idea what length axle I need or how to work it out....the bottom...

    What brakes for an early 50's Holdsworth?

    What brakes would you put on an old Holdsworth? I've got most other parts for it but will need to get some brakes and am not sure what a Holdsworth of that period would have used ( or indeed, how to track them down!)

    Holdsworth Decal availability problem and Planet X ?

    Just been informed by a well known cycle restorer that they are having problems getting the Tranfers for my bike because whoever has purchased the Holdsworth name has stopped Lloyds from reproducing and supplying them. We can get the W F Holdsworth decal but not the "cyclone deluxe" bit. Shame...

    A visit to Argos cycles with a holdsworth cyclone

    Just spontaneously decided to take in an old holdsworth cyclone ( at last as I've been meaning to have it restored for ages). respraying, cold setting, fixing a dent,decals, lug lining and a few other minor issues sorted out = £420. I can't help thinking that isn't bad - all done by about mid...

    Anyone know about a Campagnolo Velox derailleur?

    Just found this derailleur in my shed - looks brand new and is even in its box. No memory of where I got it ( old age!). Looks ok-ish quality. Does anyone know anything about it? I'm thinking it might look good on an old Carlton frame I've got.
