I’ve been instructed to de-clutter the garage and have earmarked the following items for sale. Before we get down to the brass tacks, I’d like to state that I do not want to post anything. I realise that this will limit the likeliness of a sale, but over the years I’ve developed a pathological...

I’m not sure how much discussion, if any, there has been about this year’s Brighton Big Dog? Well, this year they’ve dropped the Retro Bike category…. Of the ‘Odd ball’ categorises remaining, there is only the Single Speed. I kind of feel I need to represent Retro Bike at the Big Dog this year...

I never did remove the remainder of the seat tube. - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... p;t=264720 Instead of resorting to caustic soda, I just bought another bike from a local retro biker. I'm just lazy I guess. I got this Marin (pictures 1-2) Fitted some parts I'd been saving...

So, here’s the thing. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... p;t=259976 The seat post issue (see link to previous posts) has not got any better, in fact it’s a whole lot worse. Before you look at these pictures and laugh (or cry) I have tried pretty much everything on the known list...

Hi, I recently started a new job 40 miles from where I live. I used to cycle to my old job and good times were had between my house and place of work. I now get the train from Brighton to Kingswood everyday. This is a nightmare as the trains are abysmal. My plan is to get off at Redhill and...

Hi, Last year I bought a 94(ish) Marin Muirwoods so I could ride in the Brighton Big Dog Enduro race. Since buying the bike I’ve got into riding it and am planning to ride it again in the Big Dog this year. Last year my wrists were destroyed from riding rigid for 3 hours and I want to buy...

Hi, I picked up this Marin Muirwoods cheaply on Ebay recently so I can ride it in this year’s Brighton Big Dog. I’m looking to get it race ready for August and then, after I’ve got the race out of the way, spending some time doing it up properly. Having never been that interested in retro...
