Hi all, looking for a clean, dent free Mercian road frameset of size 57cm centre to top (22.5"), preferably with 57cm top tube (ctc). Might consider a full bike depending on cost, but just after something tidy for a long term project. Cheers, Aaron

Hi everyone, I wonder if somebody can help, I'm really starting to admire mid-90's Specialized mountain bikes - particularly the Rockhopper/Hardrock variety that had no front suspension. I'm struggling however to find geometry on them, I understand the bikes are measured centre to top, but can...

Hi all, I wonder if someone can help offer some guidance on frame sizing when it comes to sloping top tubes. I really like Marin's, in particular the horizontal top tubes of their earlier 1990 era zolatone bike frames. I normally find that a 19" (centre to centre) seat tube frame puts me nicely...

Hi all, I wonder if one of you can help identify this Giant mountain bike, I’m looking for a cheap station bike and spotted this project. Do you think the forks are original? It looks like the rest of the frame has been partially rattle canned in black but it’s chipping off. Any ideas what is...

Hello everyone, Just tire kicking so to speak at the minute, kind of curious about the thought of a retro Raleigh. Wondered if anybody had an 80's 22.5" (57cm centre to top) Raleigh racer, preferably 531 or 501, think Ritmo etc. interested to hear what is out there for a bit of fun commuting...

Hi, looking for a clean Saracen frameset - 19" centre to centre seat tube, 22.5" top tube. If you have anything let me know. Keen to find a purple Rufftrax - just like the colour! Cheers, Aaron

Hi there, I'm finding myself drawn into the world of vintage Specialized mountain bikes. Just curious what might be out there in terms of a clean frameset or bike (Rockhopper or Stumpjumper). Considering something from the late 80s to mid 90's. After something like a 19" frame (centre to...

Hi there, I'm currently looking for a cheap mountain bike to use as an occasional town/pub bike, but also something I can leave at the station without too much worry that it will still be there when I come back. The plan is either a mid 90's Raleigh (think Nitro, Eclipse, maybe a Yukon or...

Hi there, I wonder if anybody could offer some advice regarding Claud Butler frame sizing for late nineties frames. Were these measured centre to top or centre to centre on the seat tube? I’ve seen a bike locally which is 22” centre to top, but there is quite a large extension in the seat tube...

Hi there, I'm in the market for an 80's Raleigh Gerald O'Donovan (Go'D stickered) frameset. I was very fortunate to get a yellow and white '87 531 frame through Retrobike and love it - and wish to find another backup frame. I'm searching for a 22.5" (57cm) centre to top frame, particularly if...

Hi, if anybody has a Marin 2004 or 2005 UK catalogue would you please let me have some information on the San Anselmo bike? I've just bought a 19" sized model, which I believe is this vintage, particularly curious as to what size they recommend for a 5'11" rider. If anybody has any sizing...

Hi, If anybody has an unused or minty Shimano MF-Z015 5 speed freewheel please drop me a line. I think these are 14-28t. Many thanks Aaron

Hi there, still looking for a Mercian or Bob Jackson in 22.5" (57cm) seat tube (ctt) and 56cm top tube (or 57cm). Will pay good money for a nice frame (mudguard braze on's preferred but no essential). Something 531 is what I'm after, even a Holdsworth maybe! Many thanks Aaron

Hi everyone, can anybody offer any advice on the Raleigh 531 frames sort of late 80s early 90s? I'm thinking of getting one as a lightweight commuter...having lifted up my gaspipe-built Raleigh Ogre-Max and nearly pulled my back out I really think my body would welcome something lighter...

I wonder if one you fine people could offer me some advice please? I've had a bit of an odd craving for an old school steel framed mountain bike circa 80s/90s that had a set of steel forks (non-suspension). I have in mind a good hack for commuting and the odd bit of canal-bank type off...

Hi everyone, I wonder if somebody can shed some light on frame sizes of the Raleigh Max Ogre-EZ? I developed a fondness for this bike after one of my housemates at university bought one in about 1996, its the matt dark blue bike with grey tyres, seat and grips. At the time I thought it...
