I bought this new with the upgraded 25th anniversary XT groupset, Hope brakes, Reba SL forks and Mavic 717 wheelset from Merlin, still got the original receipt and papers. I then proceded to buy lots of little trinkets for it to shave some weight off. Although ultimately I hardly rode it, it's...

Hi I got this a little while ago, poorly listed on eBay. I was looking for a bargain road bike to (maybe) replace my postmans bike, an be used as my everyday hack bike. I've been going through it replacing parts, cables, chain and tyres, an getting it rideable. It had obviously been left...

Hi I got this frame and fork a while ago and collected the parts, with the intention of building it up as a 'Sunday best bike / garage queen', and It's my 1st bike with "brifters". It'll also probably be used for a few Flanders and London to Paris type things. The girlfriends brother and...

Hi I'm looking for a Dura Ace stem about 100/110mm long, one of the ones with the concealed bolts. Cheers.

I've been trying to learn a bit about a couple of Columbus tube sets recently, an I googled up this article. Now I appreciate "ride and feel" are subjective, but I thought it might be of interest to some people? www.habcycles.com/m7.html

Hi Found now thanks. I'm a noob to tubular tyres and fancied giving them a go. I've got an old Fiamme rimmed rear wheel and I'm looking for a front wheel. It doesn't have to be Fiamme and it doesn't have to be shiny & perfect. 32 plus spokes, silver alloy finish and cheap would be...

Hi. I decided I fancied a 1980/90s Itallion bike a while ago and have been trying to learn a little from the 'net. Mountain bikes aside this will be my most modern bike, so please excuse my noob'ness. I'd been sent photos of a Moser which I went to see, an came away with the Moser and the...

Today I've heard from someone (I've no reason to doubt), who inturn aparently heard it from the VCC Bill Hurlow marque enthusiast. That Bill Hurlow used a "signature mark" on the chainstay bridge of bikes he personaly built. Now before I get too excited, sad I know ;) , can anyone else...

Hi all. I've recently been stripping the 1990s paint off my 1950 Holdsworth and I noticed a faint Chater Lea stamp in the rear track ends / drop outs. Which I wasn't expecting as they looked like Holdsworth track ends. I also noticed this stamp (photo below) in the bottom bracket, I appreciate...

Wanted 700cc silver alloy clincher wheelset, 6, 7, 8 speed (also consider 5 speed). It's for a "retro mixte christmas pressie / project". Prefer 32/36+ spokes, shallow'ish rims and ideally high flange hubs. But what have you got? Looking to pay upto £60? Can also trade a little used...

Any one got a saddle support for sale, or trade? The bar that connects the nose of a saddle to the top tube. Bit of a long shot, but looking any way!

Picked this up today (in essence a swap for a 1976 chrome SS gas pipe bike, with some help from ebay) with a view to swapping the parts over from my circa '50s fixed gear (details in sig). Which includes a Holdsworth fancy lugged stem :) The question is any idea what model / date it is? It's...

Had a quick google and couldn't find any. Aparently Pashley don't supply them as aftermarket. Any idea who might? Cheers in advance.

Anyone have a "cheap" Brooks saddle knocking around? Not to fussed re model or colour and if it needs a little work. Around £20?

Wanted: 3 speed Sturmey Archer trigger shifter. Age and visual condition not important as long as it works. Cheers Mark [email protected]

I've got some more details linked to my sig below, but in essence the original owner told me this was a 1959 Dayton, although that appears to be incorrect. Before I get it professionaly painted I would like to get some makers transfers made up for it. Hence the question. I've taken some...
