    Morning all, I’ve just bought another Zaskar frame and it’s in need of a good polish. Does anyone have any pointers of companies that do ball burnishing so as to replicate the original finish or am left to just good old elbow grease? Cheers Jimmy

    Shimano/ Campag compatibility…

    Does anyone have any experience of running XT 732 Thumbies and 8spd block with a Campag Record OR or Icarus rear mech? I’m guessing the block will be ok but the indexing clicks on the shifter will be out and I’d have to run the shifter in friction? Cheers J 👍🏼

    Karma Ratty Cannondale Bad Boy free to a good home...

    Had this thing kicking about for ages and I'm never going to do anything with it, so someone can have it... Unsure of year and it's had a hard life, but it's all there (I think) and someone can pull it to bits and make something of it I'm sure. Headshock needs a service 17" CtoC SRAM...
