Hi Chaps, I'm after a 38T 94BCD 5 Bolt chainring. It's going on my "piss about super retro funky" bike so it will be the only chainring so I want something strong with no ramps. If you've got something kicking about that's pretty new looking and ready to ride please let me know. I've got...

I'm looking for some pedals for my not too retro Santa Cruz Superlight. I would usually use SPDs but my right knee is giving me gip so I think flat pedals would be the best option. Since pedals are such a dull piece of a bike and I've always used SPDs I've got no idea what to get. Every time I...

Pair of Wheels. Hand Built. XTR M960 Hubs and XC717 Ceramic rims. Not sure what the spokes are but they are silver and double butted. Will also include matching Ti XTR Skewers!!!!!!! Excellent condition, runs true, Hubs super smooth and very little ware on braking surface. Only road and very...

Not sure if this is the right forum for this post or if a mods going to get upset but I thought that it was my responsibility to let anyone who doesn't already know aware of just how angry this shop can make you!!! :evil: I Bought some bits from number1bikebits on eBay and guess what? –...

I'm looking for a full suspension bike for the first time and I keep getting beaten on eBay so I thought I'd see if anyone here has anything. I've never had a FS bike before so not too sure what I want. Frame size might help, around 17 or 18" I like AMP, Rocky Mountain, Yeti, Manitou and...

Does anybody have such a circular bit of metal? The nicer the better! I'm running a 1/8" chain, I think??!?!?!? Cheers

:evil: Thought I'd follow up my whine about London bike shops and how rubbish they are. I thought we could all start a list of basic thing that we want that they don't have. :evil: Last week it was Magura HS33 parts, today its 5 arm 94 BCD chainrings! (Did you have the same problem Jez)...

I was on my way home from work tonight and I'm sure I saw a yeti Ultimate outside Kings Cross Station as I was sitting in the traffic. Sadly I couldn't stop and have a propper look but in the dim evening light it looked like it didn't even have a lock on it! If I could have stopped I would...

I've got some purple cook bros cranks that just don't look right that I'd ideally like to swap for other cook bros, kooka or something nice in another colour, ideally red, yellow or black. willing to sell too if the right price came along. They are 177.5 standard 5 bolt. You can see from...

I understand the fact that these look cool but could someone please explain the point of them? Disc wheels are used for TT and track use for aerodynamics but I highly doubt that at MTB speeds you'd really gain anything. They're just to look cool aren't they?!? Am I going to get chucked...

I'm after some of the mounting parts as I've lost some and broken some of mine. I need one of the funny QR bolts, the washers and one of the bracket bits for the left hand side nearest the frame. If this makes any sense to you and you think you've got something kicking about please let me...

Hi my girlfriend who I'm converting into a retro ride(er) wants some yellow grips for her retro Gary Fisher. She needs something soft for her delicate little hands, maybe onzas if anyone has some. Cheers, Craig 8)

I thought I'd put up this message as I'm so sick of useless bike shops especially in London! :evil: Yesterday I phoned round the usual shops in London trying to find Magura HS33 parts. Most didn't even have brake pads let alone spare parts. I thought I'd struck gold when Evans in...

Hi everybody! I have a dilema. Should I get rid of a bike or a girlfriend? I live in a small flat in london with my girlfriend, our friend Clem and 4 bikes. It's a two bedroom with a living room and a fairly large hall which we're trying to turn into a mini dining room. We're trying to...

It's my girlfriends birthday soon and I'm sure she'd appreciate bike related prezzies so I thought I'd ask you guys for some suggestions! This could be a really stupid idea as I've been breaking her into cycling over the last 6 months but I really think she likes her tiny frame retro Gary...

Hi everybody! Has anybody got a 26.6 seat post. It's for a 1990 Explosif. There's a few cheap ones on eBay or the Thompson elite but I'd rather get something a bit more fun not to mention retro. Please gimmi a shout if you have anything Cheers Craig

I'm in need of a new headset for a 1989/90 Explosif (pictures coming soon!!). Other than the stem which is a Flexstem and the seat post which I've just had to cut out, everything is original. Does anyone know what the original headset was or better still where to get one? If not, can anyone...
