    Seatpost wanted

    Hi, I'm after a seatpost, but in an odd size... I need a 30.2 to go with my Merlin (uk sadly) tange frame. An icon (graphite) would be favourite given the rest of the bits are the same... I'd rather not use a shim, but given the quality of the seatpost I bought :facepalm: What have you? Ta!

    Liverpool to Chester to Liverpool

    Hey all. Sooo... I did the Liverpool-Chester-Liverpool Riding event yesterday - just! Turns out little more than one training ride before hand might have been an idea :oops: I did see a fair few very nice vintage bikes out and about (modern-ish road bike for me..), so I guess a few members...

    Hub Advise.....

    All, I've been reading some info re some wheels I have, and I'm afraid I'm non the wiser - thought I would throw the question over to greater minds... I have some old, but pretty good condition wheels (nothing very special really) - they have LX hubs - FH-M563 rear. Currently they have a 7...

    Seatpost question

    I have (finally) got my old MTB back form A friend (sold it to him years ago, but just swapped another bike back for him). The frame isn;t anything particularly special (Merlin UK), but I like it! I'm in the process of getting it sorted - thinking a touring build as I already have a road bike...

    Possible old school....

    Folks, Sort of a sad day - my GT STS 2000 has gone off to pastures new :-) the good news is one of my old bikes has come back home! It's a Merlin (UK!) tange double butted frame (anodised, so still in really good order, but I can;t remember when I bought it originally (other than *ages ago*)...

    Bike Parts Clearout

    Apologies if I get this wrong - first time sellling stuff... I'm getting rid of some hoarded stuff that I very much doubt I am going to need (until I sell it, of course!). Payment by paypal please! 1x Avid G3CS 185mm 6-bolt disc rotor - brand new and never seen a wheel. £30 posted 1x...

    Replacement Grips

    Folks, probably a bit of a strange one, but does anyone know of companies that sell sets of grips that are different lengths - i.e. for 1x10 drivetrains? The trick is, the shifter is a SRAM X4 gripshift.. I have had a look at the usual suspects, but no-one seems to sell mixed-length...

    Help with rim age.

    All, I have a pair of syncros lil' snapper rims in very good condition - they have a braking surface but due to the fact taut they were used with disc brakes seem to be pretty much untouched! I'm thinking about getting them rebuilt , but can't find out which type/age of hubs would suit - they...

    New brakes - joy oh joy!

    Well, I've just replaced the disc brakes (from shimano 765 brifters to avid exlixir r's)on my whyte 19 team - the good news is the horrific squealing has gone! Problem is... The discs are rubbing a bit.... I've sorted out shimano discs before, but I'm a little lost on the avids - I'm used to...

    Newbie alert

    Hey all I've been lurking a little while, so thought I should say hi! I don't get out on my bike(s) much - and less than I should! Nothing retro in the garage at the moment - my sts 2000xcr is on long term loan. Personal favourites are steel frames - missing my tange db frame...
