Hi Retrobikers I recently bought a Saracen Tufftrax (89/90 ish) from a rogue on eBay. The chainrings are biopace (Exage Country) and need replacing. I’m after some guidance with buying replacements round rings. In essence, I think it’s 110 BCD and a trawl of google and my tape measure seem to...

Hi Everyone My apologies if this has already been covered but does anyone have any recommendations for couriers when posting a bike? I recently sold a bike on eBay. EBay suggested the postage should be £20 I set it at £40 and when I went to Parcel Force they charged me £67!!!!! They have...

Hi, I’m selling a Joe Waugh frame that I bought a few years ago and never got round to doing anything with. It’s 60cm, Reynolds 531c. A couple of weeks ago I was on here asking for advice on building the bike up and some people thought the paint could be touched up and saved others thought a...

Hi Everyone, I have a Joe Waugh frame (531c) that came off EBay a couple of years ago and I’m finally getting round to doing something with it. My plan is to get a professional respray, new decals etc and build it into a very nice example of a steel race bike. I don’t know the year but the...

My dad bought this Giant Sierra new in 1989, he rode it on road for years till he was diagnosed with a heart condition and the bike was left in the shed for years. A couple of years ago I decided to make it nice for him as he reckoned he was feeling fit enough to cycle again - he was 80 at this...

Hi I'm selling a 20" 1994 Lavadome The frame has the knocks and scuffs you'd expect of a bike of this age but the threads are all good and the frame is straight. I bought it last year but never did anything with it other than buy a new pair of forks.... THE FORKS HAVE BEEN SOLD I'm now...

NOW SOLD I have a Raleigh RSP Titanium for sale, I bought it new in about 2001/2002 it's in very good condition and just doesn't get the use it deserves. There is a slight dent in the top tube which has been there for years and doesn't affect the bike at all. Everything works and is in very...

I'm moving house soon and everything that's listed below needs to be sold. I'm more interested in making some space in my house than in hanging on for the best price. Think of the prices below as guidelines, you can pay that if you want but I'd rather you get in touch and make me an offer. If...

I've just signed up to take part in the Manx 100. There are two events 100 miles or 100 km of off road XC riding. It's not a retro ride, although you can do it retro if you want, I think the Kielder 100 has gone so this might be the only 100 miler in the UK. The scenery is amazing, the route is...

There's a bloke trying to flog a pair of rubber hand grips on Ebay for $150. They've got Klein written on them which apparently makes them a bit of a bit deal. I had to rub my eyes when I saw the listing. Anyone else think it's mental ? If you're interested in buying them here's the link ...

Can anyone tell me how to get a really good finish on aluminium parts ? I want to get my cranks buffed to perfection but I'm struggling to get them shiny. So far I've used Salvo Autosol and a dremel. It's polished them a bit but I've mainly succeeded in plastering me and the surrounding area...

Hi I'm after a new seatpost for a 1994 lava dome. Can anyone tell me the correct diameter please ? I'm looking for a new seat post but can't measure up my current bike as I'm away from home for the next few weeks. I'd got 27.00 mm in mind but looking through the forums people are talking of...

Hello I'm gathering the bits needed to tart up my 1994 lava dome frame (just out of interest is it the same frame as the cinder cone ? - the geometry and spec look the same) I'm gathering bits and pieces and I'm currently looking for a new BB, I fancy something like a hope or a Royce but I'm...
