    Wanted Decent Steel Frame

    Looking for something for 26” wheels in circa 19” size with 1 1/8 headset and suitable for disc brake. Preferably a decent steel (853, Prestige, True Temper etc) and decent condition as I’d like to get up and running rather than a project. Anyone got anything that might fit the bill? Thanks

    Wanted Hard tail frame circa 2000ish

    My trusty old Sandvik era Cove hummer developed a hairline crack on the chainstay and it’s not repairable so sadly it’s having to be retired to the garage wall. I’ve now got a bike’s worth of parts ready for an early 2000s build (disc brakes rather than V) and I’m wondering if anyone has a half...

    Titanium Repair?

    I was giving my trusty old Sandvik era cove hummer a clean up this afternoon (it’s my daily commuter) and was alarmed to see what looks like a hairline crack on the outside of the drive side chainstay, opposite the bridge near the bottom bracket. I’ve taken a few photos and studied as best I...

    GT Avalanche ‘91

    Having been hooked into mtb since I was a 12 year old with a hand me down Falcon Everest back in 1989, I always hankered after one of those real world hero mtb’s that you only saw in photos when looking at MBUK with your mates. At school, a classmate worked endless odd-jobs over one summer and...

    Wanted U Brake Booster (Shimano/other)

    I’m working on an early 90s GT restoration and it currently has the Shimano add U-Brake but the black brace/booster is quite rusty. Looking to either replace with a clean one or potentially a relatively period accurate aftermarket alloy (black/silver/red/blue) u-brake booster. Ta!

    Wanted 27.0 Seatpost & Saddle for 91 Avalance

    Hi all, I’ve just picked up a nice 91 Avalanche which is in great nick and original…but for some reason the previous owner replaced the saddle and seatpost with something ‘more comfy’. Im looking to keep as close to period as possible, anyone have a 27.0 seatpost (350 ish length) in black (or...

    Selling my RC31's as i've just changed frame and the head tube is too long for these unfortunately. Great condition, no damage, carbon legs unmarked, pics should show the quality. Length is 420mm and the steerer is 180mm with star nut fitted. £100 posted.

    WTD: Old Marzocchi's - Complete fork or Spares

    Been looking for a while for a replacement crown for my 98 Z1's as they have developed a crack between the stantion bolts. However i'll consider full forks working or not as long as the crown is intact and the steerer is 195mm or more. I'm pretty sure that most of the Z's of that vintage...

    WTD: Marzocchi Bomber Z1

    Would prefer old ones, late 90's ideally. Condition unimportant as long as the crown is intact and the bolt on kind. Would consider other version too as long as working. Cheers.

    WTD: Late 90's Bomber Z1's (or just crown) for Spares

    Noticed a crack in the crown of my old Z1's at the weekend (circa 1998 with the crown than bolts onto the legs). As they are on my retro LTS i'd like to keep the bike original. Anyone got a spare set lying around? Don't need to be working as long as the crown is intact and the steerer is a...

    Is this Saracen the First UK MTB?

    A colleague of mine has a Saracen that he has had since the dawn of time (about 1984) and wanted to find out a bit of info on it. There is no model name on it and the Saracen is in red vynl lettering on black paintwork. Apparently Saracen is also stamped into the frame near the seatpost...

    Anyone Know Seat Clamp Size for LTS 2000?

    I'm trying to slowly gathering parts to renovate my old 1998 LTS 2000 (the one with the curved seat tube), however the bike is in storage at the mo, so can't get to it to measure the diameter of the seat tube to replace the old allen bolt seat clamp for a QR version. I have seen on the web...

    FS:Klein Palomino XV,King,Thomson. A bit non retro but rare!

    Sorry if this is too far off topic, but as Klein's are no more here and so few of these are around then hopefully it will be a classic one day! Anyhow, the time has come to move on from my trusty Palomino as I want a longer travel bike. This rig is amazing, very light, climbs like a goat...
