    Kona P2 forks, STX front mech, cheapo bar ends

    Kona Project 2 forks, which look like 1990s versions (A-C 410mm, which was slightly too short for me). They weigh in at 1040g, v/canti-brake only, 183mm steerer, 1-1/8" threadless, and in OK condition -- plenty of minor scrapes/scratches and a few small paint chips, but with plenty of life left...

    is all grease created equal?

    before I go out and buy another tube a silly-priced, teflon-fortified bike super grease I'm curious if plain old lithium grease (Castrol and the like) will do the job just as well. That's the stuff we all used to use on bikes in my childhood before the fancy stuff was invented and I have about a...

    help me go 1x8

    Since I'm evidently addicted to tinkering on bikes, I've decided to turn my steel Trek 950 into a 1x8 setup. Am planning to try and snag some cheap cranks and BB (since the bike needs them anyway), but then does anyone have any tips on how best to go 1x8? For example, do I need to worry much...

    WTD decent but cheap 4-bolt cranks + BB

    Decided to continue tinkering and make my street bike a 1x8 and want to take this opportunity to replace a worn BB and low-end Sugino cranks. So I'm after any 4-bolt cranks (Raceface, Shimano, FSA, Truvativ) preferably with a useable BB (73mm ISIS, HT, Oct, GXP etc). Not much bothered about...

    Wanted... SRAM shifter(s), cheap headset, red grips

    After a couple things... Either a matching set of SRAM trigger shifters (X5, X7, attack etc.) for 3x8 setup (Shimano) or just a front X5 shifter in decent condition (I already have a beat up rear X5). Might be wishful thinking, but am also after a 1-1/8 threadless headset with some life...

    Wanted: 1-1/8 rigid steel forks, 410-420mm A-C

    title says it all really.... anyone got anything out there from the likes of Kona, Surly, Onza, Salsa or similar, in half-decent condition with at least 180mm of (threadless) steerer? If so, let me know with a price (posted, or collected in NE Surrey/SW London). Cheers.

    Need some rigid (steel) 1-1/8 forks

    Converting an old Trek 950 to a street bike and need some rigid forks -- anything from Kona, Surly, Spesh, Trek or the other usual aftermarket suspects, 1 1/8 threadless, at least 180mm of steerer, 80mm suspension corrected (so 410-420mm A-C), and with brake bosses. Color or condition...
