so the Mrs has been using a 1997 Hahanna built into single speed on the short commute to work, and as anticipated she's finding it easier now and wants a higher gear. The learn to spin faster conversation has been had. The current set up on wheel is here (same wheel and cog but different bike...

The plastic cylinder covering the spring pulling the jockey cage back is broken. I got the mech thrown in when I bought another several years ago, at the time I glued it optimistically and went into spares box. Well it came out and clearly its not strong enough so either need a replacement...

Want to build a cheap hack or need some forks ? Non branded Aluminium frame, 16" c-c (18" c-t) with a top tube 21.5" and steel threaded forks. Asking £20 collected. I picked this up 6 odd years ago, mainly for a couple of bits attached but was actually quite a good frame and rode quite well...

If ever there was an oxymoron....... Anyway, building the mrs' single speed bike to get to work and avoiding the plague. It will be locked up at work, not on the street but only semi secure (in central London) so thinking about making things a little harder. I also need a pair of skewers anyway...

Having a sort out and these need to go but no idea of value / desirability. Low I suspect since no one seems to mention them or post wants for them. They came off a 1991 Marin I bought second hand some years back (2012) and have sat in storage after I put some marin rigid forks back. They move...

Picked this up for the more petite members of the family, both Mrs and daughter about 5ft. Was going to be just a cheap runaround but now not so sure........tempted to do something better Anyway, this is what I bought Needs some work, have now stripped it down, took a breaker bar to remove...

having found a 14" frame for the mrs to get to work, see other post, need a 27.0mm diameter seatpost, ideally Kona, but urgent, if can't find in next couple of days then have to be a new cheap generic thanks

My Mrs is going back to work, after the lockdown, her job is the #1 most risky re covid per the BBC list (as part of her job is dental nursing on major work - think lots spray out of patients' mouths) but actually she is more worried about the buses and that the powers that be are delusional...

barn find but everything works ? £41 and 3 hrs to go............but collection only curious to see where ends up ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Marin-pine-mo ... 2129951774?

following on from the questions about very small frames viewtopic.php?f=1&t=341956 this is about cranks now I know there has been some debate on many forums about whether people (average height people typically) can tell the difference between 170 and 175mm cranks. This is more about at the...

Nothing to do with me, but I do have 2 sets of the dx m650s / mavic 231s on two of my marins, how much :shock: and 1 set of the LX m550 / Wolber AT-18s (albeit a different year from sticker) on another so watching with interest no wonder bikes are being broken up although appreciate the first...

The Mrs is about 5 foot on a good day (there was chaos the other day as my 8 year old wanted to be measured and decided we should be as well and................4' 11.5"). Her current and only bike is a 14" Trek WSD from 2002 which is just about small enough, the WSD bit definitely helps with...

motorist jailed, evidence included footage from helmet cam, this is from 2014 so not sure if old story just updated or just got to court ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-35422418

not for me but my daughter has been collecting some of these, series 3, and has some duplicates. They do seem to buy and sell on ebay but wondering if anyone knows of forums where swaps etc or their child is looking to swap

I have a pair of mounts that fit RC36 and thought these would fit some RC31 forks recently acquired. This even suggests they are same http://www.shop.allthingsbikes.com/pace ... ed-silver/ but thinking and looking at this there is no obvious way of fitting them to RC31 without a lot of...

not party politics ! but profiling, interesting (or at least I think so) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26689333 good news is that I am typically younger despite being 46 ?

has anyone a recommendation for a good touch up paint for the "black" sections on a 1992 Marin, think 1992 was the only year of this particular finish, the last evolution of zolatone............ and as a ps, what's good for the fluoro but guessing this is hard given propensity to fade and need...

in the 1980s when I went from 27 1/4 to 700c on my Carlton, the front wheel was a sprint from a mate at the cost of a pint, it's nothing fancy, Normandy large flange hub with a mavic sprint rim - the non grey anodised version of the GP4 I think, well still got it but the tub is shot (or at least...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23657010 "A number of English cities and national parks are to share a £94m cash injection to promote cycling." seems difficult to tell if any real significant investment as cut one scheme and replace by another, but seems its about infrastructure rather than...
