I've got three road rides all running Campag ergos - one with 9 speed Record, two with 10 speed Centaurs; one carbon levers, one alloy. Sadly, after what must be 7 (?) years loyal service, the carbon Centaur gave up the ghost last week, when the left hand shift lever sheered off. I found a...

I've got a pair of these due in the post, sans pads and brake cartridge - http://crev.vo.llnwd.net/o42/roadbikere ... _28360.gif I know they are Campag compatible but am I right thinking they would take Shimano OEM or Shimano fit brake cartridges? Cheers in advance, Jon

Hopefully of forum interest, part of my collection, that along with my Colnago, was left at my mam's house for the last ten years. This was, as the label says, Sean Yates TT frame for Motorola from 96 up to his retirement in 98. He was writing a column in Cycling Weekly at the time and I rang...

A few pics of my Colnago Super, that I built up many moons ago (2000 at the latest). I was living at my mam's at the time and, seeing that I built it to look at rather than ride, I ended up leaving it in the attic rather than take it with me when I moved house. I dug it out today and, much to...

I've ridden these for a year after picking them up off eBay - fitted with a dead stock pair of v brake mounts, with a very smooth action, 190 mm of steerer and star nut fitted. All good...not. Checked them the other week and the left fork looks to be a few mm out of alignment. Therefore I'm...

Decided it's time to have a bit of a spring clean and rid out the spares cupboard - more to come. As new - fitted but never ridden - Oval 27.0 by 250 mm seatpin. Inserted only up to minimum level, no other marks on the main body of the post - bang on for anyone with a Raleigh Titanium RSP...

Picked up a tidy Suntour Superbe chainset the other day - one of the later ones, with the 130 BCD chain rings (road, double). I was always under the impression that these could pretty much drop on a Shimano square taper BB with no problems...a cursory glance at the internet proves otherwise...

A pal of mine, not on the forum, is looking for a 100 - 110 mm Cinelli 1A or XA stem. Tidy condition ideally, although he'd be fine with insertion marks and the odd light scuff. Looking to pay around £20 - £30...if you've got one, surplus to requirements, drop us a line. Ta, Jon

Howdy - I'm looking for a tidy back wheel, V brake compatible, ideally on a Goldtec/Hope/XT/XTR hub (LX at a pinch). Not bothered about skewers or tyres being chucked in the deal, but I would like a sound rim with plenty of life, smooth hubs and trouble free freewheel (9 speed Shimano). If...

This last month I have run out of two of my favourite cycling products - one of which was my last pair of Fred Salmon plugs; the other, my final tube of that curious, minty/herbal muscle remedy, Musclor ...now, sadly, empty. If anybody has either of the above they would like to sell, I would be...

Having a gradual clearout of the man shed and this was the first few bits I stumbled across; Kuota carbon seatpin - 350mm by 27.2mm. Inserted up to 200mm with lacquer gone and insertion marks beneath - above, the lacquer and decals very clean, although the fastening bolt could do with a bit of...

Close on eight years ago, I purchased a deadstock Lemond Ti frame and forks from Mt. Moria Cycles, Memphis - as I remember, the $ was not far off 50 pence in value and, with Reynolds carbon forks, postage and customs, it came in at around £450. Bargain. Sadly, it got totalled a year later...

Posting on behalf of a pal - robbed from inside his house last night, in Leytonstone (along with his wedding photos, van keys, van, wallet, wife's handbag...nice people) - a Jack Taylor 531 singlespeed. I had the frame restored by Mercian about 8 years ago and passed it onto my friend - it is...

I've read a few things about the joys of mixing Campag with Shimano, and was wondering if someone could enlighten me for a possible upgrade for one of my rides. I'm currently running 9 speed Campag Record ergos (the first model carbon lever ones), with a 9 speed Chorus rear mech, Dura Ace 7400...

I have noticed a few threads re. the do I/don't I mix modern parts on old frames. With the bank balance taking a regular hammering on the bike front, and prices seemingly going through the roof, I have found retrobike a very handy resource to keep me on the road at a price that's right, with...

I have had a couple projects on the boil, both of which I later gave up on, sold on and found myself left with a few half decent spares. After hunting around for a couple of months for something to stick them on, I found a deadstock C.2002 Giant TCR ONCE frame and forks; still in the box, with...

Hi all, I'm after a long length X Lite Click On or Metal Matrix seatpin...ideally in NOS or very clean condition. Alternately, I'd also be very interested in a long length (280 - 350 mm) titanium seatpin - any brand considered. Cash waiting etc. so drop us a PM if you have anything in the...

Hi all, I'm looking for a new project and am after a 56 - 58 cm titanium frame - a round tubed Raleigh would be nice, but otherwise anything considered; 1" headset, English BB and down tube shifter bosses preferred but not essential. Budget - pending offers I'm flexible but I'd be stopping...

I thought it was about time, after picking up a few bargains on retrobikes, to start posting up a couple of builds. Just finished putting this together, on a fairly frugal budget, with the intention of putting together a light(ish) weight hardtail for as little as possible. The frame is a...

Without wanting to sound daft I've picked up one of the old style USE Atom stems; http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/3857/USE_Atom_Stem and was wondering...do I need to get one of the Ring Go Star allen bolt fastening spacers or will it work with just a bog standard spacer arrangement...
