This frame and fork has been sitting around too long. Are there any Merckx fans out there? It's a Corsa Extra frame & fork, 56cm centre-centre, built in Columbus SLX by hand in Belgium. I think late 80s (feel free to correct me). But the key thing is good friend and Merckx fan managed to bump...

When I re-commissioned my 1996ish Gary Fisher, the hub bearings and races were heavily, heavily pitted. So I did the right thing and rammed them full of Phil Wood hub grease and ran them a tiny bit loose for a couple of years, just around town. I'm actually quite enjoying the bike now though...

Does this count as road? I guess it's more road than MTB. I mean, it would be used on the road. It's for work, we'd like something mainly to stand outside with a sign on it so people know where we are, but also for running errands on and stuff. I'm quite excited about the prospect of...

I'm just building up a bike for my friends birthday. He's not a cyclist as such yet, so I need something cheap and not too flashy in case he doesn't like it. If he does, he can replace them later.

DOes anyone know anything about a company called Prestige? I've picked up a nice road frame, chrome all over made with Columbus tubing. I just wondered if anyone knew anything about Prestige because I don't know much about it.

My wanted ads have been coming to some avail recently so I'm going to rock out another one to see what happens... I'm looking for a Sturmey Archer style hub. The ideal would be a 3 speed hub, internal gears and a coaster brake, but any combo considered. Cash is short. I've seen quite a few...

Hello all, Just had a few bits I've been looking for for a while and thought it was about time for a wanted ad. I'm building some single speed wheels for a friend and need some hubs/rims. Anyone got anything nice? I think he'd like something new, but wouldn't be bothered about how good...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a front wheel to finish off my latest project. I'm looking for a front Campagnolo Shamal wheel. The silvery ones which I think they started making in the 90s. Anyone got one for sale? I's be interested in a set as well although would prefer the front on its own...

I've put it on ebay already but there is a buy it now of £80. It's a 1994 C-Record Rear Derailleur which I believe makes it 8-speed. It is NOS in original box unused. I would have liked to have put it on here before the bay but I wanted to get it sent before christmas. So as a small...

This I am sorry to say is a shameless plug for something I am selling on ebay myself. It's a bit of a rare thing though so I thought I'd tell you all. When I say rare, I mean it is rare to find someone who wants one. 1994 Campagnolo C-Record Rear Derailleur. I'm pretty sure that makes it...

Was wondering if anyone wanted these. I bought a wheelset off the forum and loved the hubs, but wasn't so sure about tubs. If anyone would like the old rims they're used but in fine condition. Seems such a shame to throw them away. Free to pick up. I live in south London, work in central...

Hi there, I picked up some 531 built frames a while ago and have one on the road although it isn't finished, and half the components for the other. All is going well but I have one question about the frames that I wanted to throw onto the forum. I was ambling home one evening when I was...

I recently bought these Record hubs planning to convert the rear hub to a fixed gear. I have decided it is quite a difficult job, and I don't want to ruin these lovely hubs. The hubs are in perfect condition, I am not sure of their history but because of the absence of any wear at all, I...

I am looking for a set of nice 700c wheels which will fit a shimano 9 speed cassette on the back. (It would be even better if they've got a 9 speed cassette already.) I have a real nice mavic/dura ace setup atm but they're tubs and I'm planning some long weekends where I don't want to keep...

I am looking to build up a single, fixed bike for super quick city travel. It only has to see flat roads in London, but roads in london are crap so I'm looking for a hard track style frame or bike to build on or just use, not so worried about weight as I would be if it really was a track bike...

I am considering selling this frame as I have a matching pair and only two legs. It has a number of small scratches in the paint work but you cannot tell from a distance. It is otherwise in perfect order. I would like to gauge interest first, so haven't bothered with pictures yet, but if...

Hi. I'm entirely new to the forum and in fact retro bike building. As such, I need some help. This is one of two matching frames I have picked up. I am now building them up. I don't even know where to start regarding hardware. I'm used to classic cars so I know it's gonna have to be the...
