A customer dropped in two years ago with a bike to restore. I had it painted and all the parts have been polished and the customer dropped of the face of the earth so I have started assmebling. The frame is 531 or 501 steel and is my size how fortunate. The shifters, mechs and chainset parts...

I require a 24H Mavic Mach2 CD2 rim 700c to make a pair. For another bike I need a old drop or sweep back bar. the bike is a 1948 RRA which is a now a fixed gear. Looking for a period bar. Open to various styles. condition unimportant. what is important is the clamp area must be 24mm. I have a...

Bought this on ebay Smooth welds and it is aluminium. Cheap and it came from france. Unknown as to what it is. Wyatt polishing in thetford did this. Steve barry at acorn plating has anodised in purple. I have a varity of parts to dress it in. A mix of modern and retro. I need more...

Got a NOS one of these it is actually in a road wheel. First ride on it tonight and the by the end of the race the bearings are shot. quite dissapointed but surely it easy to change the bearings but no. The end caps don't pull off in the axle vice. There appear to be no tool I can use unless...

Got some gb arret levers on my rra. The calipers are gb synchron/altenberger. Pads are cork as the rims are wooden. Of course cork pads compress. The problem is the levers pull back to bar while not providing any real braking. To resolve this levers which pull more cable would be useful. Any...

Got a single speed williams 3 pin chainset C1200? I think. It has fluted arms. the question is what cottered axle do I need for it.

32H drilling front and rear. Looking for hubs in good order and with smooth bearings. The correct Q/R skewers would be nice.

I bought this frame restored earlier this year and now I have started to buy parts for it. the D/T decals have been mis-applied I think - too close together but apart from that it seems to be in good order. the frame has none of the usual braze on so either they have been skillfully removed...

It needs to be the heron type suitable for a 1948 frame. The correct bb would be helpful too. My frame has bsa threads which seems odd I thought raleigh's of this era used raleigh threading. Or a williams chainset c34, c 1200 or other suitable model. Other British chainsets considered too if...

Well I am sure that the bike is meant to take 26" wheels. The thing is are there tubular 26" rims somewhere. All I can find are clinchers in 26x 1 3/8" size.

Well I have to replace the cables on mine and I started to pull the cable and housing out but it dislodged the liner in the top tube. The liner was width drawn. No ammount of fiddling can get the cable to come out of the exit hole on the top tube now. There are ferrules bonded in it seem into...

The bolt for my shifters broke so I had these made up in titanium. The bolt is an copy but in titanium. It is hollow has the correct thread and is the correct length. so I thought why not have more made and sell the remainder as these bolts are impossible to find. I have 9 of these for sale...

Well a new bike for the stable. A Klein Qunatum from a year I can't quite fathom. This bike is also rather odd in that it does not have the press fit BB. The bike came fitted with some heavy FIR wheels and 3ttt forma bars, a very light icon quill stem and an ultegra BB and cassette. Currently...

well you know the XT M950 STI's had a clamp bolt that is unique. Well mine has snapped on a ride and I need a new one. So anyone got one. Got a pair in fact a a spare is always useful.

Thinking of selling my retro,s. No photos as they are a bot dirty but the frames are in very good order and mechanically the bike are excelent. So how much could they be worth. Trek 8900 (carbon main tubes original paint) with a modern token headset and pace rc31 forks. Modern bar and stem...

I am about to pay for a 1948 Raleigh Record Ace. I have no clue about parts from this era though. I know I would prefer to fit a Stronglight 49D chainset as I hate cotterpins with a passion but I would have to find one first. I know I will run the bike fixed gear and I know I will build the...

I require a 120mm Cinelli grammo stem complete please and an Shimano Dura Ace 7700 BSA thread BB in good order or NOS. Also a Dura ace 9 speed cassette is required any ratio will do again must be in good order!

I have always fancied a really old racing bike for the early 20th century. It could be from 1900 to 1930 is. But how to find one. Condition is not so important as the whole thing would be a slow running project as I would have alot of learning to do regarding getting the spec right. The...

well as above. Need to be in good order ideally with the correct pads. Constantly wanting to change things.
