Hi all - just looking for some advice and creative/technical thought from the wise council of RetroBikeland. Although I've built from scratch I'm no expert on hardware, and my first (and almost completely still original) Kona Hahanna is needing some renewing. I would ideally like to replace like...

You'll probably know what they are if you have them! Widish, heavy tread, yellow 'joe murray' oval...my originals were on a '93 Hahanna (no surpirses there!)... I'd ideally like a set unused/lightly used for the restoration project .however I don't mind the odd spare if old used ones are wanted...

If anyone is interested in the road kit I put on this bike, and the modifications made, have a look here. I make no apologies for my madness. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=253716

I've created a monster and have no idea where it fits best, but figured most people into Kona Hahannas will look on the MTB section...! Since all my newbie questions I've finished my first custom build. I ride a '93 14" Hahanna daily that I've had from new (nicknamed 'the Beast'), basically on...

Hi all - Just putting together my first scratch build and just trying to clarify conventions to get the setup and cable runs right; I don't have any 'original' setup to follow. I have 9 speed 6500 STIs and the cables to the rear (brake and dreailleurs) all run along the top tube side by...

To be compatible with Ultegra 9 speed 6500.... *excitement about new build...***

My last major piece, having just picked up a baragainous set of ultegra levers...

To work with an Ultegra double mech (53/39) and 12-25 HG cassette. Rear mech also wanted, this is next on the list! Flight deck might be nice to have, not essential. I am poor and constantly defeated by ebay, so anyone willing to be kind...

Practical advice required... Just been having a discussion spinning off from my post wanting to find some STIs (8, or possibly my mind is migrating to 9 speed) for a scratch build which I'm working backwards through really, all dependant on what I can find available at the right price...

Any STI type shifters at a better price than ebay...! Budget such that whatever shifters I might find at reasonable cost will determine the speed/drivetrain of this particular project...it's nothing too hardcore; for a nippy mtb frame converted for road pace, just being experimental and...

Hi all I am building a road bike; its a retro kona mountain bike frame so I suppose technically a hybrid. I was originally just going to make a simple single speed, then decided on having gears - for general road use and maybe more. However, I can't decide how many speeds (8? 9? 10? 11...

I've got a set of Tektro R540s and kool stop pad inserts, but I have no brake pad holders!!! Anyone got any that you've kept from a pad change etc? Need 2 sets (for front and rear) Help appreciated (there will be pictures soon of what I am building....) Eddie

Someone is trying to sell me a set of Scott drop in bars with weird double-drop extensions (see my shoddy paint sketch as I can't find a pic on the web).... I don't normally pay much (if anything!) for old alloy bars I use, but I wondered a) does anyone have any of these knocking around in...

Really getting sick of sitting on eBay watching everything I'm interested in creep up out of my price range. Or finding what I want in my range then eBay f'ing up. Fed up. Anyone got a set, or just a front or rear alone, of 700c race type wheels surplus to requirement that they can offer at...

Just missed out on a set of Rolf Vectors because of eBay not letting me bid, so, SO annoyed. So still hunting for some nice good quality 700c's. Grargh. :cry:

If running a 7 speed cassette on a 130mm hub in a 135mm frame, centrally positioned with spacers; is the chain offset really going to be that dramatic? Presumably the angle will change equally for deeper cassettes on certain gears....I ride mostly in the top gears anyway ...I am just...

See topic http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... 53#1630753 Want some to experiment with. If good quality lovely wheels, I will be happy to invest a wee bit to have them made to fit my awkward frame. If of lesser quality but you're going to throw them at me for next to nothing, still...

Trying to work out the most cost effective way of getting a set of whizzy 700c's on my old (but epic) bike. I have rear drops of 135mm....this is all you need to know, all other complications have already been debated/ are accounted for!!!! For this particular bike, I have made the...

So my plan is to put 700c road/race style wheels on my 1993 Kona Hahanna (see my avatar). I tinker with bikes, have built a simple single speed before but I am easily tripped up... Issues I am aware of: -Brakes not reaching rims. I am aware of mavic adapters, and I have access to a...

Not desperate, but a shout out for anything knocking around. Will take in strays and shabbies if frame and forks intact and the price is right. Bit poor right now but am planning some creative build projects in time with these little guys :)
