I've spent the last 12 months scratching a Retro bike itch. Amongst the handful of bikes and parts I have bought, sold and rebuilt I have saved and sourced the best with a 'dream build in mind'. Some time ago I acquired this stunning Univega frame and decided to make it the base for all the...

I’m I correct in thinking there is a kind of swivel ball that the front brake cable goes through? And if so what its name so I can buy one?

Is this what these shimano rubber ferrules fit? They came with the cable kits I bought

Please could somebody recommend the best way to cable route my mtb? Any photos would be a big help. Thanks you

The free hub is blocking the tool from entering the slots. It only goes in about 1mm and this slips. Any ideas? Thanks

I need a new stem for this build. Something around 120mm I guess a built in hanger of some sorts would be useful.

Is this hub 8 speed only? I presumed a 7spd cassette would be fine but there's a lot of room left when I slide the cassette on

I'm fitting a new BB. How far do I screw the non-driveside into the shell? The reason I ask is my other two bikes that are square taper have some threads pertruding out of the shell. I can of course get the long wrench out and force it all the way in but I want to make sure I don't break...

What headset do I need? Are 1” all the same or do they differ? And what’s a half decent one that doesn’t cost the earth. Cheers

Anyone for a genuine Shimano one lying around? Thanks

Will the wide profile of the shimano 732 work best or the later shimano 733. I have some shimano m733 (I had planned to fit to a Dawes galaxy but I don’t think they will fit particularly well). Also, are these pads ‘touring pads’ and are these optimal? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have taken some Shimano m733 canitlevers off my tandem with the aim to fit them to my Dawes Galaxy. However, I now suspect the bosses on the frame and fork are too narrow for these brakes to work optimally. Below is 2 photos. One with the arm relaxed and one where I’m pushing it to the...

Building up the below I’m thinking Shimano 733 Looking for front and rear mech Chainset (with black rings) 2 finger levers And cantilevers (black or silver) (I have some thumb shifters) Doesn’t have to be flawless but I’m looking for some nice stuff.

Everything in near perfect condition (apart from the fork needs attention)

First I bought some Swiss Stop pads but the rattled around and weren’t a tight fit. So I bought some Shimano pads and the are too long and also not a snug fit If I put the screw in I can still slide the pads out What’s going on And what are the little metal things?

Just removed these from my bike and wondered how much they are worth? Great condition with shimano blocks
