Absolutely gutted that my Sultan was stolen from our locked garage on Thursday, along with my old 5 Spot and Solaris. While the Spot and Solaris aren't too difficult to replace, the Sultan is a bit af a rarity. If anyone happens to see my Sultan around I'd appreciate a heads up. Stolen from...

Got some time on my hands with rainy day following rainy day so thought it was about time to post this old girl up - my pride and joy. Built up 3 years ago from a decent frame off the bay and a donor bike from the local dump which had a full set of 600 under what seemed like an inch of road...

Just bought this on ebay. I know its 99 but there's no arguing the retro credentials. Anyway the forks clearly aren't original so I'm after a suitable set of rigids, or low height sus forks if I can get away with it. I had a 98 Sunn Xircuit previously which felt all wrong with the set of...

Picked up this peculiar frame recently and can't find any references to the manufacturer anywhere on the web. Head badge says 'Globe Steel Cycles' but I don't think there's any connection with the current Globe bikes. Seems to be Reynolds 531 with Suntour GS dropouts - same as I've seen on the...

Hi, can anyone recommend some hoods for these old levers (pictured).

My Record Ace is up for sale: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Raleigh-Record-Ac ... 19c40b5b92 Any questions please ask.

I have a stronglight 99 crankset set up as a double ring but I believe its supposed to be easy to run it as a triple. Anyone know how this is done? Is it just done ussing long bolts and shims/spacers between the middle and inner ring? Thanks.

I'm considering upgrading my Weimanns so I can stop the bike in the wet and wanted to hear peoples suggestions. I'm hoping to go to 700c wheels and although the drop on the front fork is normal, the drop from the rear brake bridge is huge. Can't understand why it was built this way. Any ideas?

Built this one about 6 months ago with a frame off the bay and lots of scavenged parts from the shed etc. I've gone through a few frames over the last couple of years, all of which were nearly but not quite right for me. This one, for what ever reason, is absolutely on the button. Its very...

Just acquired a '97 Lava Dome frame to build up and I'm really puzzled by the rear deraileur cable routing. it seems to cross over the down tube on its way down, from a hanger on the left at the top to the right side of the cable guide under the BB. As it goes its rubbing on the underside of...

Hi, I'm mid build and fitted some Kona project 2s (420 mm from crown to axle) but the old Clockwork looks a bit jacked up and very laid back) Are these forks too long or am I just not used to the relaxed head angle on the old Clockwork? (I'm traditionally a Kona man). Any advice greatly...
