I just bought a relatively tidy but unloved GT LTS-5, the motivation being to use its 7-speed parts and wheels on another frame. Now I have it at home, I'm thinking the LTS is not a bad looking bike in GT blue and yellow, and so I'm asking myself if I could I make it rideable for a bit at least...

Hello - I'm selling some of my collection of French road bike magazines from 1940s to 1970s. They have some super photos on the front, very atmospheric, and are generally in thumbed but good condition. I've had some success framing these mags and hanging them on the wall - certainly better than...

Hello - I've got a pile of about 15 French bike magazines dating from the late 1940s to the 1970s that I'm planning on selling off to new and appreciative homes. I have had some success framing the pages of these mags, and have quite a few on my walls already. Could make a nice project if you...

Hello - has anyone been inspired to organise an anniversary Repack race? The first ever race happened on 21st October 1976. Would be great to hear about any events going on, and to see photos. For what it's worth, I'm planning a trip out on my Ritchey on Saturday 22nd around my home in the...

Hello - while rummaging around amongst my old 7" record collection for something entirely different, I found this and thought it was worthy of a share. I rode this race on my Ritchey in the Junior category.

Hello - I'm looking for a couple of things for my 1989 Ritchey Ascent Comp. Firstly a newer pair of wheels for rim brakes and 7-speed cassette. I'd prefer silver rims, and Mavic or Ritchey would be my favourites if possible, although I'll consider anything else what will fit. Nothing too...

I thought I'd share this rather intriguing looking bike with everyone. It's a Sobre Bikes steel hardtail that has been turned into a 100mm full suspension frame using home-made linkages and brackets, and sporting a combination of 29" wheel up front and 26" at the rear.

I was looking at this advert for a relatively vintage Cannondale (not sure what model or year it could be) and was intrigued by the rear-facing brakes on the fork, which look pretty funky. But does anyone know what they are? Advert is heroically short on detail, so I doubt the vendor will be...

Went out for a 'normal', modern day mountain bike ride with my regular buddies this Sunday on my 1989 Ritchey Ascent Comp. My modern hard tail is being serviced, so I stuck the old 1989 XT derailler and some mixed up modern new bits and bobs on to the frame and changed the tyres for some new...

Hello - I'm selling my early 90s M900 XTR brakes and MachineTech ZeroFlex levers. These were both NOS until spring this year, when I put them on my Ritchey. They are in really good condition, and the pads are almost new. They've only been used for town riding, never off road. No crashes or...

Hello I'm looking for some cantilever brakes for my old Ritchey frame. Im looking for silver, preferably ritchey ones but anything suitably late 80s or early 90s would do. Red brakes would be an option too. No other colours please. I already have some tasty machine tech levers to go with the...

Hello everyone - I've finished the renovation of my 1989 Ritchey Ascent Comp, including a full respray in the original red at a professional frame builder and some nice old and new components. The aim of the refurbishment was to make a cool bike for commuting to work. Rest assured the bike is...
