Picked off Twitter - https://twitter.com/gcntweet/status/1022432333843128321 John Canning of GCN Network looking for a TVT to feature on the program. Anyone got one? Pretty sure we've seen some being refurbed recently...

For sale, with regret, too many bikes, too little space. Carlton Clubman 531 frame with headset. (Complete bike is offered in the complete bikes for sale too) Patina, but no major rust, but no show queen either. Bought the frame a year ago on a whim, built it with spares from the box. Runs...

For sale, my Carlton Clubman, plenty of patina without being manky, and with more modern, quality components. Rides beautifully, and this is not an easy decision. Too many bikes, insufficient space. Carlton Clubman 531 frame (1980 I Believe) 9 speed gear train, Campag Comp Triple RD / FD...

My 5+ year old BBB aquashoes failed today - chucking it down up here this morning, had to drop car off and ride home, the zips were rusted solid. Trying to persuade them broke both zips. Now I need new overshoes. I'd quite happily get the same again, but also fancy the Castelli Diluvio (I have...

My Peugeout Perthus Pro (753) is showing signs of bubbling, and the paint is pretty shot after 30 or so years. Want to pull the paint off it, see if all ok before getting a respray - any tips on how to do it. Fine grain sandpaper seems to work, but at the rate I'm going, my grandkids will be...

Ok, I'm was using a Record triple on my training bike, on a Token ST BB. The non drive crank kept loosening. I've checked everything and everything looked normal - I tried a second Record crank arm, and it did same thing. I swapped the Token BB for a Centaur BB from the spares box (actually a...

I'm building a 1983 Carlton Clubman up as a training bike. It takes old style nutted brakes as opposed to the ones with recessed allen bolts. What suggestions does the massive have? - Must be nutted, not recessed - Drop (centre of bolt hole to centre of rim) is 65mm (27" frame running 700c...

Building my Carlton Pro (incorrectly badged as a Raleigh...) and encountered a minor problem. The seatpost bolt is gubbed - the head is slightly stripped and won't allow tightening (Unless it's some weird Brit thread and doesn't compute with my metric Allan keys). It's is however a real bolt...

Got a serious case of lust for this, but one small hesitation: it says it's a Pro - but has mudguard eyes. I thought Pros were race only and did not come with eyes? Can one of the Carlton experts comment? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1971-Carlton- ... 234c3efce9

I'm building up the Carlton / Raleigh Pro I bought recently and have got myself a tasty Cinelli quill stem for it. However, I want to get some Deda bars as I prefer the shape to the older Cinellis still around (they're also a 3rd of the price!) Been a while since I quill stemmed as my current...

I have a Carlton Professional frame on the way. While I have a bunch of spares, I seem to recall that the frame takes a non 27.mm seat post. Can anyone confirm the correct size? Ta Foz

So the Perthus i bought back from my wife's uncle (whom I sold it to in 1993/4) needs to be built. I'm going to go with a "light" build without any carbon, just to se what a 30 year old bike can build to - components i have already have been weighed, the rest looked up in catalogs etc, and it...

Bike was custom made for me by Dave Marsh in 1989. Reynolds 531c curved, paint was a red/blue fade. DM used it in his advertising in Cycling Weekly for some time afterwards. I've included the only pic I could find of it... 650c front, 700c rear. I sold it in around 1996/7 I think - Pretty sure I...

I recently bought a Colnago MTB frame (complete with Colnago branded Canti brakes). I believe it's a 1992 "Superlativ". Being a roadie, what kit do I go for? The frame is a late 1980s / early 1990s frame (AFAIK, a '92), but I've no idea what ranges were current then. I know Deore / Deore XT...

Would love another one one day.

My old Perthus Pro, sold to relative in 1992, he's not ridden it for last 15 years, so I've bought it back for next to nothing. Big job ahead to refurb though after so long without use. ANyone know if these are any good - not the originals... (Marked "Superbe")

bought new in 1995, starting to look sad recently. Now getting sexy new paintjob at Shand's in Livingstone. Big shout for Russ who is doing a fabulous job. http://www.flickr.com/photos/shandcycle ... otostream/

Anyone know when Colnago first released the X-Lite version of the Master. I have this one below, and am not sure of age. It's got 126MM rear spacing, so it has to be earlier than my '94 Tecnos which is 130MM.

Finally got around to building it. Still need handlebar grips, put mine on a mates bike I was refurbishing for him on the cheap. Meant to get new ones, never got around to it. Vernon Barker Tange Ultralight triple butted frame, SRAM X-7 gears, currently wearing road tyres acquired with the...
