A Freddie Grubb Comet track frame used for touring, time-trialling, grass track and roller racing through its life, recently put back together and ridden in Belgium. A few blog posts about its history in one cycling club (Godric CC), racing background and the full spec of the restoration...

I am trying to complete a rebuild of a 1963 Freddie Grubb fixed. I'd like to source some mudguards that match it - it is an emerald green with red bar tape, matching the club colours of all four owners. The current Bluemels chrome or black just don't look right. Anyone sitting on a pair or...

The Portuguese organisers of the International Cycling History Conference 2013 have been in touch through work asking for publicity for the call for papers deadline. Sorry if this is a cross post, couldn't find a reference via search. Their words "The first International Cycling History...

I was visiting an Italian bike fair in Padua this year when I came across a stall by Bici D'Epoca which had a lot of gear for sale plus some great exhibits including Coppi's 1954 World Championship Bianchi. I haven't found any links to them from English language sites so I thought I would put...

I have a complete assortment of shoe plates to get rid of. Mostly bolt on, 2 point mounting including some brand new. But also a traditional 1960s nail on plate (its partner broke) and the nail on mounts that adapt your soles to bolt ons or SPDs. The old plastic ones I am happy to give...

An odd pedal that might make a spare for someone. Scroll down the page for this an other sundries http://idonotdespair.com/shed-clearance-sale-40-years-of-bikes-and-bits-to-go/

Shocked to discover that these are going on E-bay UK for about £125 and US for over $300! However mine are not quite complete, the bolts and washers to secure the cleats are not all there. The pedals themselves are only lightly used but I will never use them £75 was my original thought but...

The classic style of the period - plain black, drilled full of air holes, suitable for nailed on shoe plate only as previous plates cut off. Scuffed a bit from use with toeclips and straps but leather in good shape. Soles worn at heel. 15 quid should do it. Pictures and more info plus...

I have no idea which bike this chainset came off. I think it was probably the Mercian I had in about 1975, second hand. So it may be even older. No idea what happened to the left crank either. Zeus is such a forgotten name I guess it would need a very dedicated collector to want it...

Really nice Harry Quinn built in early 90's in Harry's Pembrokeshire workshop. Irish Tricolour paint job. All the details including pictures and frame history on my blog along with other sales. http://idonotdespair.com/2012/09/02/moving-please-help-me-clear-all-this-bike-stuff-from-my-shed/...

I am just about to post the Harry Quinn used by my son until he grew out of it into road bike sales It's the real thing, frame number and all match. I keep seeing lots of prices, but I have settled on 350 quid. Full spec to come over on road bike sales - but does that seem right?
