Hi all, I have just had a Scott Reflex frame powder coated and transferred my 15 year old sons bits off a 13" Zaskar which he had very much outgrown. I asked him the other day why he wasn't riding it and his answer was " it doesn't feel alive like the old bike it feels a bit dead ". Whilst...

Hi all, Long time since I last posted here :oops: I'm just sorting out my son's Zaskar with some 26" wheels ( it's a really small frame that he has been running with 24's ) and bleeding the brakes etc. I had forgotten that it was fitted with a 31.8 LX dual pull front mech that has never...

Hi Guys, In an attempt to get my backside on a bike slightly more often that we have a solar eclipse, I have just bought myself an On One Il Pompino second hand. I'd like to put a gear hub in the rear (120mm spacing) and am looking for a decent second hand wheel to suit. Number of speeds...

Hi guys, Not been on for ages due to not having the time to ride very often. So, with heavy heart I have decided to sell my AMP. I bought the rolling chassis from a Omar something or another on here a year or two ago after wanting one since they were new. Having got it delivered I...

Hi all, need an inch steerer threadless stem, about 100/120mm and about 10 degree rise. Needs to have a 2 or 4 bolt clamp in standard bar size. Not bothered about the make, just something servicable to get a mate on the road, or off it ! Cheers Barry

Hi all, After reading Sheldon Brown too much I have just picked up a Raleigh 20 from the local second hand shop to use as a runabout. I have got my head around most of what I need to do, but, the bottom bracket issue is vexing me :? I am intending to use a new cotterless axle to take an...

Hi Guys, I need an old flat screen monitor to mount on the wall in my garage, any size will do. My 3 year old accidentally stepped on my old laptop the other week and broke the screen. I only ever used it in the garage and the Mrs is getting a bit fed up with oily finger prints on her...

Hi all, Just having a change round of bikes now my AMP is up and running and I'm going to make my Voodoo a seven speed. If any one has anything I am after a road rear mech and a road 7 speed cassette ( this is to fit on a 7 speed shimano freehub). I would also like a SS specific rong...

Hi all, Now I know nothing about modern bits so; Can I use a brand new XT rear mech with my '97 XT rapid fire shifters ? I hear things about reverse pull and other modern horrors and need some clarification. Cheers Barry

Hi Guys, Can anyone enlighten me as to the weight of oil required and what volume. Not sure if this is measured by volume or air gap? I believe that these are about 83mm travel. I need to mess about to get them to work with my skinny whippet of a son and would like some base figures to...

Hi all, I want buy a workstand but I'm just not sure what to get. The choice is between the clamp the top tube or seat post type or the rest on the B/B shell and hold the down tube type. I have used a couple of the first kind and thought that they were a bit unstable. I am only able...

Hi Guys, I need a set of 165mm cranks for a Rockhopper build that I'm doing for a seriously short mate :shock: Will look at anything of the correct length, top of the range is not important. Also would like some black and silver levers suitable for using with rapid fire shifters...

Hi, I got my AMP from Omar71 about 10 days ago and quickly built it up in a temporary fashion to take away on our family holiday to Cornwall. I am not all that happy with the performance of the front D1 disc, back is fine so I'm sure I can sort it with a change of pad compound...

Hi all, I need to lay my hands on a small, say 13 to 15 inch hardtail frame to build a bike for a vertically challenged mate. It's taken me ages to convince him that he would enjoy riding if he wasn't on a knackered BSO. I know there was something in for sale a week or two ago but I can't...

My Killi frame and forks which I've had since they were about 6 months old, bough new by my brother in '92. The bike has been well used over the years but not abused, I ride fairly light. Size is 17" but I'll happily take other measurements as required. Frame and forks only, the HO's...

Hi Guys, In the for sale section at the moment is an AMP B4 frame, forks and disc brakes. BITD I lusted after one of these but they were well out of my league :cry: Can somebody fill me in with a bit more info about them, are the discs mechanical, I guess that they are. How much...
