    Carlton Corsair Touch Up Paint

The guy I bought it from rescued it from a skip, seems like the guy who put it there had made a pigs ear of trying to extract the post and damaged the seat tube in the process. I've whittled out the remains without making...

    1973 Carlton Corsair Rescue

    I fell for a big old Carlton Corsair frame at the Manc Velodrome jumble the other week and if I can get the bb out and replace the broken drive side dropout then I'd like to refinish to something like the original. All the Corsairs I can find photos of are in a gold scheme with rather blingy...

    531c Olmo?

    Anyone know if Olmo did any frames in 531c? Been offered a scruffy but cheap frame & forks with a Renolds sticker on. Going to look tomorrow, only seen photos so far, but haven't been able to find any reference to Olmos in 531 on interweb. Thanks, William.

    The Fattest 27" Tyre?

    I have an old Galaxy with nice 27 x 1 1/4 wheels which I'd like to retain rather than replacing with 700c but I don't like skinny tyres. It is fitted with Specialized Tri Sports which are only about 28mm and a pair of Continentals which are a full 32mm though both are marked 32x630 which is the...

    Road Triple Front Mech

    I need a front deraillleur for a 52-42-32 triple for my mid eighties Claud Butler. Sierra 15 I don't know what it would have had originally and I'm floundering a bit in the sea of choice but patchiness of specification. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Looking for a nice wide range - say 13-28 or bigger- 6 speed cassette for my early 90s British Eagle road bike. It has Accushift XCD shifters and rear mech so I think I need the earliest type with 3.5mm spacers all through as seen on the right of this photo...
