Hi all, After having my work bike nicked a couple of weeks ago I decided I wanted to build a great bike for commuting that didn't look great (basically a bike that goes like sh!t off a shovel but which looks like exactly that but without the shovel). I have a Stumpjumper M2 frame I got from...

Hi guys, I've not been a regular in these parts for weeks on account of a broken foot. Worst of all, this wasn't due to a biking incident, nor even falling off the Step box in gym because I was distracted looking at sweaty women in Lycra. Nope, it happened because I fell over running up the...

Hi all, I'm having a few problems with both the front and rear LX 9sp shifters on my 98 Rockhopper. For some reason, in either case the up shift thumb lever doesn't seem to be engaging to execute the shift. The front shifter will engage after a while and with a few wiggles of the lever, the...

Has anyone come across this site before? http://specialbike.co.uk/default.asp They take old bikes, tart them up and sell them on. I didn't know you could make a business out of renovatinng old bikes

I'm looking for gold bits for my Ravine renovation project. The reason is: Mag 10s and FIR 123 rims which both have an understated flavour of the noble metal, and both will work well with the smart new glossy red powder coat. So I would be interested in a gold riser bar, gold Aheadset, gold...

Hi all, I thought I'd add a thread to follow the doing up of my Raleigh Ravine. Not as glamorous as most of the bikes on here, but it means a lot to me as it was the bike I doscivered MTBing on, and has accompanied me to the various parts of the world I've lived (Colchester, Liverpool...

I'm about to embark on doing up my old Raleigh Ravine, probably taking off all the old components, since the drive train is well worn and neglected (including the BB and the old Tange threaded headset will need to be replaced), the wheels are knackered, and the other contact points pretty tired...
