Looking to buy a Perthus pro - complete bike or frameset - around 54 to 56cm. Anybody looking to sell? Cheers!

I realise there was an earlier - frankly mind-blowing - example (Ian's) of one of these on here before. In fact that bike was the inspiration for me to find one. This one was in a bad way when I acquired it - very chipped, rusty and badly touched in (with a stick as far as I could see). Many of...

I've been looking for a while for a grey Perthus Pro - with not much luck! Need a complete bike preferably but would consider a frameset - sized around 57cm ish. Any offers pointers or leads gratefully received! Cheers, Jeff.

Looking for a 36 hole mavic MA2 rim ideally - but would consider a pair or even a wheelset with these rims. Cheers, Jeff.

Some experience or advice required please! I'm just about finished with a project to restore/renew a 1989 British Eagle Touristique for light touring (And Lejog next year). Really happy with how the bike has come out - it is silent and responsive but obviously no lightweight - a neat trick it...

Really pleased with my first ever restoration - hope it meets with approval here. Can't seem to upload images from an Ipad ( even though they are less than 2mb?) So here is a link to some before and after images : https://www.btcloud.bt.com/?shareObject ... 5846e9e83b It is a 1977 Raleigh Team...

I have been looking around for a mavic module E 36h 700c rim to replace a damaged rear (its taken a hit which flatted it at some point in its life so can't see how to true it up) and complete the pair for a restoration project. Had success here on the forum before so thought I'd put the...

I have one NOS Wolber SL19 'COTON' tyre and am really hoping to find a second tyre to have a pair. Has anybody got a tip on where to look, does anybody have one they might sell - or are there more commonly available period correct vintage alternatives I could look for as an almost new/nos pair...

After looking for a bit I've failed to find a Simplex SJA 103 front mech - which is for a triple. It is a part missing from my 1980/81 Peugeot. Are there any period correct alternative mechs I could look for, preferably Simplex? Or, Is it possible to use a double front mech instead, given that...

Had two great rides out this weekend in perfect weather on my Raleigh. The Bike is unrestored. I think it is in lovely original used condition for its age though. Worksop/Carlton built in 1978, 531 throughout, Campag NR gears, Sugino Mighty Chainset, Mavic GP4 rims on Record hubs, dia-compe...

I realise the Team Records were not SBDU bikes and were built at Worksop - but am considering purchasing one and Google has left me confused. The one I am looking at is original (Suntour cyclone mechs, Raleigh branded chainset and mavic module E rims) is a bit tired (paintwork) but is very...

Hi, Looking for advice and perhaps some wise counsel please.... Having owned and enjoyed a 1988 Peugeot Aravis for 24 years now (Still in excellent condition and running beautifully) I've taken a strong fancy for building up an 80s or 90s Italian frame with Campag kit. However I wondered...

Gurus! I have a much loved Marin Team Issue Steel bike I'm keen to restore. Over the years she has acquired a goodly amount of scratches (and memories) but no dents or dings. Are there professional frame refinishers out there that can 'copy' the original clearcoat/lacquered finish of this...

Hi, In another thread I was looking for modern wheels for my Aravis and someone asked for a couple of pictures so here they are! I still have the original wheels (MA40s and 36h 105 hubs), tyres, frame pump, bottle cage and pedals but they are not fitted at the moment. The only item lost...

Hi, This is new territory for me - so looking for some advice please! I have a mint condition 1988 Peugeot Aravis (including frame pump and pedals!) and I'd love to fit some modern rolling gear to it, as the Mavic open 40's and 32 spokes are pretty weighty :) Am I right to think I...

Looking to recapture a lost youth :-) Trying to get hold of a Marin Team Ti frame - in 17.5 or 19". Any help gratefully received. Willing to collect - cash waiting! :-) All the Best, Jeff.
