    Converting Tourer to something a little more 'road race'

    To begin - I have no idea of the geometry issues involved, although I'm guessing there are some - I have a Dawes Sardar 'Tourer', the "Go to Mongolia & back", earlier one with dropped handlebars & pannier hangers / rack etc. I bought it new in the dim & distant. My lad who is 16 has 'Wiggo'ism...

    'Posting' bikes - recommended carriers ?

    I am seriously contemplating offering up for sale my Dawes Sardar....the older, "Go to & tour Mongolia" one from the late 1990's, & when I know how the recession is realigning 'values', buying in with the proceeds, a lighter, road 'racing' bike of comparable value. I want to be able to offer...

    Before I break something.....

    ....I need to take some advice on how to disassemble the front fork assy on my newly arrived Raleigh Lenton Grand Prix. The bike is the 1960 Mk7, the 'stem' is a GB Hindinium. There is the long 'bolt' from the top of the stem down into the forks, which undoes easily & comes out. I...

I start from a knowledge base of '0' & work backwards from there. I get the impression it...

    Marin - Bobcat Trail....in 1993 ??

    Having got my lads Pine Mountain up together I'm contemplating finding something to ride with him. I have an 'old style' Dawes Sardar tourer in very good nick, but I'd like something a bit more MTB'ish. There is a Marin for sale near me....it looks to be a '93 model, rough as a bears...

    Measure twice......cut (gulp)

    I need to 'cut' the 'ahead' tube on the forks I have for the Marin. The bike came with a pair of RST forks & a multi-adjustable Zoom 'head', holding Marin bars. The Zoom head was supported by 2 x 5mm alloy spacers. The fittings are standard Acor kit. The 'stem' (steerer ?) on the...

    First post..first question....not a very "bright"

    Hi all, I'm new....have '0' experience with pedal cycles...albeit a bit with old motorbikes & am currently 'trying' to get a semi-derelict 1995 Pine Mountain 'up-together'.....& I would be grateful for some advice. All in all, she's worth every penny of the £36 she cost :roll: .....I'm...
