Looking for something with an MTB-type rise, 120mm +/-10mm, with built-in hanger/routing for the anti brake cable. In decent condition, please!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133645561127 I’ve actually seen this bike (am not the seller), and it’s in really nice condition.

That, basically, for a mountain bike. Needs to be in good condition, please.

My new-to-me Muddy Fox’s rear triangle has clearance for 1.95 max, less if the side knobs are very sidey. Front will take about a 2.1, maybe a 2.2. What does the retro hivebrain think would be the best all-round combo, for just riding around on easy trails with Mrs Fourstrings? I’m not...

That, really. The one I just took off was cracked. Did I crack it taking it off? Only the baby Jesus knows. Cash (well, numbers on a screen) waiting.

Off to look at one tomorrow. I think it’s a 1989: white with the U brake. I think it might be back-of-the-garage and a bit unloved, but that’s OK, I don’t mind a project. Any retro-meisters out there with tips on what to look out for, beyond the usual seat post, headset, BB, wheel bearings...

The shed clearout continues! • Shimano Acera flat-bar brake levers, to suit V-brakes or cantis. I'm ashamed to say these have never been out of the box. The box itself is tatty, but the levers are brand new. £10 posted to a standard UK address. SOLD • Dia-compe Guidonnet curved brake levers...

Bit of a shed clearout this weekend! So, under the 'handlebars' heading: SOLD! • Velo Orange Porteur bars, silver, 25.4mm clamp, 48cm width: these have been fitted and unfitted, so they have some marks on them from the brake-lever clamps but are in close-to new condition. These are really...

What it says in the heading, really: Fiamma bike rack to fit a tailgate-style T5 rear door (won't work on barn doors). Carries 2 bikes, but can be adapted for more: at least one more, possibly two. The main frame is in good condition, but the attachment points look a bit poor: flaked-off...

These rigid forks (made by Exotic) are corrected for bikes designed to run 80-90mm travel suspension. The leg length is 425mm or 430mm, depending on how I squint at the tape measure. They'll take Vs, cantis or disc brakes. The steerer's been cut down to 220mm, which should still give plenty...

Two old (very old!) but good-condition brake levers, plus some modern ones you can use with V-brakes (or, I think, cantis). • Zeus brake levers with drilled arms: these are in good condition but lost their covers at some point in the past; the shape is actually still quite comfortable...

For sale, some bits that have just come off a frame I recently sold: • 27.2 mm Condor-branded silver seat pin: this is in good condition but shows some insertion marks. They would probably polish out if you were very determined or have a polishing wheel. £15.00 posted. • 115 mm Deda silver...

These Salsa CroMoto rigid steel forks are suspension-corrected for 80/85mm. They've covered less than 200km, and are in great condition. They have mounts for V-brakes and disc brakes. They're threadless and fit a 1 1/8" steerer. Not much more to say, really! Would like to get £45 posted.

After a valedictory tour of the North Cotswolds at HONC last weekend, I'm finally parting with my 1999 (I think: so long ago that I can't remember) Specialized Stumpjumper. This has been well used, with two trips to the Alps, a couple of 24-hour races, and plenty of other activity thrown at...

Duell Zurigo, size 55 cm (horizontal top tube), Columbus SLX tubing, fantastic condition: this was bought NOS less than a year ago. Currently built up with mid-2000s Ultegra as shown in the photos, plus a variety of new and old bits. I'm having to make a bit of space due to a house move, and...

Any suggestions for how to gear a 6-speed 1980s Colnago for the Alps? The rear is 126mm spaced, and we want to keep the original hubs/wheels. The bike's currently fitted with a triple, but it looks hideous and still doesn't give a low enough gear. Planning to change the chainset and rear...
