Bought this frame 2nd hand back in 2006 off ebay for around 1000GBP - which seemed pretty good value as the new custom price was over 3.5k GBP and although built to someone else's specs, the geometry is standard and size was perfect for me. Have built up in various forms over the past few years...

Phil wood or Chris King? It's for my all-TI build but I'm interested in long term durability more than weight. Was thinking of the stainless steel PW but there does seem to be a little negative feedback out there... Anyone have any experience of both? Thanks in advance...

Had this for many years and have always looked after it with regular rebuilds and re-greasings. Been in the attic now for around 10 years. Silver, 32h. Just stripped, cleaned and re-geased again today. The cartridge bearings still run pretty smooth and I think I've popped the seals once in...

Evening all. I've had enough of suspension and would like a rigid fork (Potts or Black Sheep maybe) for my 18" Seven Sola but am puzzled as to what length to go for. The frame is suspension corrected/designed to run a sus-fork and has always looked a little forward tilted with a 26" rigid pace...

Hello. I have a set of these forks that have no home since the frame is no longer in my possession. You all know how hard they are to find so I'll spare you the hype. They are in need of a respray as the paint is rippled and chipped in places. It's only since examining them up close that...

Dear forum hive-mind, I have a Black circa '94 Team Yo Eddy which has a dent in the top tube and the unfortunate but common finding of a cracked seat tube from rust/internal moisture. It also has the lovely original rigid forks. Could those more knowledgable/experienced than myself please...

Just bought a set of these beautiful Royce Racing Gold Disc Hubs. All the gold parts apart from the Grip Nuts are manufactured from 6AL4V Ti, (apparently the Grip Nuts are manufactured from Carbon Steel as Ti would not hold the serrations). Will probably build them onto a pair of carbon rims...

Having narrowly missed out on Fudd's RC300 frame through unforeseen circumstances, I was going to build up my Yo Eddy... until I found the cracked seat tube. Am still toying with getting the frame repaired and resprayed but in the meantime I'm amassing some nice kit (retro and not-so-retro)...

I usually just get silver Salsas as they're tried and tested but was wondering about Hopes. Anyone have any preference/good stories/bad stories? Any alternatives I should consider? Cheers, R

Was going to build this into a SS but found a little problem with the seat tube. Sounds like par for the course with steel FCs. Should have a black 1" (I think) FC fork for sale or swap in the near future...

For my mum! Mid range or up, willing to pay up to 400-500 depending on condition/spec etc. Whatchygot? Cheers.

Posted this before but has gone through a fair bit of change. Now just about finished... SPEC: Frame: 2005 Custom Seven Cycles Sola Titanium 18" Limited Olympic Edition. Forks: 2009 FOX RLC 120mm Forks, remote lockout, converted to 100mm. Headset: Chris King Titanium Top-Cap: Enigma...

Please, please, please, please (etc) can someone sell me a spare pair of these: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=70608&highlight=pace+brake Fingers crossed... R

16.5" Not sure of the exact year but at least 4 years old I think. Not a bad frame- welds are a far cry from my Seven but then so's the price. Probably been built in the far east as Paul Sadoff never fabricated titanium. Had ugly clear-coat all over - some scotchbrite had the front triangle...

Well, you'll hate me for it but I just bought a Rock Lobster frame 2nd hand and it came with the nice surprise of a Titanium USE seatpost. Only problem is that it is missing the aluminium "cradle" that the saddle rails sit on (bolts and other parts of clamp are all there). CRC don't have...

Going to buy a new bottom bracket: ISIS SKF cross country. What size should I get? I am running a middleburn duo RS8 with 9sp at rear. I *think* I've got a 118mm on there at the moment. Would a 113 make any difference to the chainline (better/worse?). Not really sure and would like the...

Hello, you seem to be in the know. Which of the following would you use to on a titanium frame that currently has a brushed (and very slightly scratched) finish? -Garnet Blasting -Glass Bead Blasting -Aluminium Oxide Blasting Thanks for you advice, R

Found one! R

Hey guys, your advice please.... Just got some expensive cranks from e-bay that I was going to fit to my MTB but can't fit pedals as the threads are just slightly the wrong size for my egg beaters. Now to my knowledge there is only a single thread size for pedals but these are road cranks...

Some non-retro spare bits up for grabs. Please note: I now live in NZ so shipping to UK is an estimated 5 quid per item (possibly less, possibly more depending on insurance etc). Will consider swaps (retro or non-retro). Payment by PayPal only. (1) Seven Cycles cold-forged aluminum...
