Hi folks, I am the proud(ish) owner of a GT Avalanche 3.0 frame and bits. Purchased "by accident" off of that there ebay The frame is (I found out after buying it D'oh!) Disc-brake only, ie no lugs/bosses for canti or V-brakes... Saving grace, it is quite pretty (aren't almost all GT's?) And I...

Now this might seem a bit of a dim query. But how best to tell which dia seatpost to get for an older MTB (or even road) frame. And which size clamp? I have a digital caliper thing. Do I subtract a certain amount from the id of the seat-tube? (And how do I edit my horrible spelling in the title?)

I have a nearly nice Raleigh Routier. (complete, fully serviced, new cables, chain etc, might (see other posts) need a different rear wheel. I need a reasonable MTB (frameset) for a petite person (she is approx 5' 2") Anyone?

I have asked before, but I am still not sure. I have this Raleigh "Routier" I know that it is not and never was a classic, or even a good bicycle. But.. It is now all nice and proper and ready to roll. Except..The back wheel kicks out, whenever I put any "power" down. I have tightened the QR's...

Now here's a thing.. I have a friend (don't we all?) who asked, "You know about bikes, could you fix this puncture?" I asked her if it had QR's, so I could simply take the wheel. "I don't know". I was near her home in my van, and with a little shuffling I reasoned that I could simply throw it in...

:oops: :roll: What a lovely day! Not too hot, just pleasant.. A perfect day to go out for a ride. I am the proud(ish) owner of approx seven bicycles. NOT ONE of them is in a rideable condition. (shed/garage full of "projects") Just me then? :oops: :roll:

The short version: I have a 2001 Giant with a 1" carbon steerer. I have pushed the expander-plug-thingy down too far. How do I get it out? Long version may follow... Although, my last query re. this bike and a similar headset issue recieved 70-ish views, and not one single reply.. :( :(

Hi Guys I am the "proud" owner of this rescue puppy.... Like all rescue dogs it is costing me more than a new one, but hey, it is a delight to ride, and we all need a hobby... Anyhoo. The headset is tbh, and to use the technical terminology, banjaxed. It think what is on there is the original...

I have recently put together a skip-find Raleigh Routier.. All pretty good so far. But. The derailleur hanger "shares" the rear drop-out, this seems not to allow enough room for the wheel to sit properly and securely in, and so when I apply pressure on the pedals, the wheel shifts to rub against...

Hi folks! does anyone have a scan of late 1980's Raleigh catalogues or spec sheets showing details of the "Routier" model please? I have searched in all the usual places. There was one on here, http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... 3#p2260773but Photobucket has made it unavailable for...

Would I be right in my guess, that a bike from mid-eighties with an "adjustable" BB with a spindle/axle length of 124mm would originally have had a triple crankset? It is a Raleigh "Routier". O! hi folks BTW, long time I know... Just that my postie turned up with a skip-find...

Hi guys, I was up too early this AM and did a bit of nerdy-geekery. I found and downloaded the complete Campagnolo spares catalogues from 1997-2016.. :D If they are of any use, post here and I will drop-box them, or PM me... Also if John or any mods/admins would like them for the "archive"...

I have decided to have the poor wee beastie done up proper. A stupid decision by any rational measure, but well.. (I'm like an old lady who can't walk past a donkey or a kitten) But I am still conflicted. Are those saddles ever available for less than one would pay to release one's own child...

Spotted this on FB, might be of interest.... http://www.colvelo.co.uk/jumble/

Hi guys, as some of you know I am 100% noob at old MTB's. My latest acquisition is almost ready to visit stripper/painter. But the nice chromey headset "collars" at top and bottom of the steerer-tube, and the one on the fork.. How do they come off? Should they be free and loose? And if they are...

Anyone know of these? Do they "work" ie help with canti brakes? Were they a thing back in the day? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALLOY-22-2mmH ... TmISJ1FWSQ

I am contracted to work Saturdays. I deliver parcels. I bloody hate it. I was in an especially bad mood yesterday, and was delivering a parcel. As I arrived at an address, the corner of my eye spotted some bike parts in a pick-up truck... So when delivering the parcel, I asked the lady "Do you...
