I bought this on a whim a few years ago when I was going through a bit of a Principia and Klein obsession. The frameset was NOS with just a couple of marks from storage (the worst one underneath the down tube). Built it up with some fairly decent bits, rode it for approx 100km in the dry, then...

Gios Compact Pro (53.5 TT): Record 10 speed, Vento wheelset, Cinelli bars/stem, Veloflex tyres, Turbo saddle and Keo classics. Really nice condition and has been hanging on the wall for a few years. Frame is 8.5/10 condition, with the only real issue a small paint touch up by the previous owner...

Having to clear out some bits from my mum's as she's sold her house, and something that needs moving on is this unique Mercian. Not sure how old it is exactly, but I bought it on a whim from ebay a few years ago, and the seller told me it featured on the cover of one of the Mercian catalogues...

Trying to find a frame for a friend, and she has something particular in mind. She would like a steel frame in 51-53 size that will take 10sp and 28c tyres. She wants it in a quite plain, dark colour. Doesn't have to be anything fancy. In a perfect world, I would just buy her an old battered...

I've just bought my first Mercian from ebay, and I'm very excited! However, I'm struggling to identify the crankset. The pictures are quite limited, but I can see that it says 'Strada 170' on the inside of the non-drive side. Initially I assumed Campagnolo, but they don't look exactly like any I...

This absolutely hurts but unfortunately I need the money, and I just can't justify keeping a bike I never use! I was bought this bike when I was a youth. I used it lightly for a year or so, before it sat in my mum's dry garage for about a decade. I then decided to dig it out, and was shocked at...

Sold

Few bits for sale. I'm based in Notts if anybody wants to view/collect. 1. Campagnolo (Athena I believe) levers. These were taken from an 80s Woodrup, and are in pretty stunning condition considering age I think. The hoods are perfect, and the levers have only the smallest of marks on them...

After a few things at the moment...hope somebody can help! 1) 1" threadless carbon forks. Needs to have 220+ steerer unfortunately. Have Time Colnago branded threaded ones at the moment, in an ideal world would like exactly the same sans thread. 2) Decent 100-110 BLACK quill stem...

a couple of MTB bits in here, cheap and cheerful http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=217273

If you are after prestige parts, look away now! I just thought I would pop this stuff on here before I ebay it/bin it, possibly some ok stuff for a road/MTB hacker here. Make me an offer if you think something is too much. I would much rather give away for free than bin. I will post or you...

so I am going to ask some very silly questions :lol: Please stop reading now if stupidity offends. I'm pretty wet behind the ears when it comes to bikes, my knowledge stretches to nineties MTB, and even then it was basic. I have recently bought an old road bike that I have stripped...

I was at an auction this morning and spotted this Bromwich hiding in a pile of bikes. £40 later, and she is mine! Any ideas as to how old it is/model? I decided that it's fate that I found this frame (I grew up near Coventry, tedious link/excuse!), and that I really should restore it fully...

I will lay my cards on the table here: I know little to nothing about road bikes. However, my MTB is a bit of a hassle to just get around town, so I decided I would pick up something cheap, possibly to do up. There is a local general auction that always has old bikes, so I popped down and...

Hi, just found this forum, bringing back some great memories of all the bikes I used to lust for in MBUK when I was a kid! So anyway, I recently decided (after about a decade), that I want to start riding again. I just wanted something to nip around town/Sunday bike rides with the girlfriend...
