So a while ago I decided that my bike built around a to-big Raleigh SPD 531c frame was too big... So I sold that and picked up a late 70's Harry Quinn - in my size in 531 - it had belonged to an old 90 year old and he had ridden it every day - it was in great condition, 6 speed cassette and...

Hello - another "help me!" thread I picked up a new/old bike on eBay - the fella was selling as he said it needed a bit of work on it - fixed the most obvious things and then found that the long cage rear mech doesn't really have any spring left! :( So it's a veloce 9 speed long cage rear...

Any clue where's best to pick up new chain rings for campag veloce 9 speed triple chainset? I imagine it's from the early 90's. Now the advice question.... Picked up a new bike today - was sold as a frame with the rest of the bits being extra as it needs a bit of work. Luckily I can fix it...

Hello again - I posted a few times on here about a year back... and since then have just been riding my bike... But I have a question. I've got a lovely bike, late 80's Raleigh Special products division 531c frame, and then a mix of campeg parts. (mismatched wheels, due to a pedestrian...

Hello Relative newbie on here - I joined for help with a bike I had bought. My wife and I cycle as our main form of travel (cheaper than filling the car) and we've both been on mtn bikes, mine with slick tyres. Recently I got a road bike and with the wifes birthday coming up she's been...

Hello again.... most my questions have been answered just using the google search box up top right... but this one not... I've a rear derailleur, this one which is great - except the fella I got it from had lost the bolt and washer that tie the cable down.... not the one with the adjuster the...

Hello! So last friday I saw a bike listed on ebay, pick up only, and put a cheeky bid in expecting it to go for a lot more... it didn't and I ended up going accross the country to pick it up... not what I wanted to do with my saturday but I got a bike out of it. As I'm new, a wee...
