    Just saw this on Gumtree. Italian DM frame? Inverted fork?

    http://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/uniqu ... 1085603407 Weird mix of parts. Shimano STX/LX, Suntour XC Pro, and an inverted fork that I can't find any reference to on google?

    Raleigh Pioneer?

    First off, as a hybrid I'm not sure where this is meant to go, MTB or road, but since (if I win the auction) I'll be building up with MTB parts, I'm putting it here. Found a Raleigh Pioneer in size: Massive on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Ralei ... 1401737776 That's not a standard...

    WTD: Bar end shifer compression insert... things?

    So I bought a set of SL BS77 bar ends on ebay and stupidly forgot to read the ad fully... As a result I'm short two of these compression things. Another two of these are what I'm after. Anyone got some in their bits box they'd like to sell me? :) Cheers

    Raleigh Pioneer

    Just bought a raleigh pioneer frame and fork on eBay, £25 plus courier. 23" frame and 700c wheels mean I might actually have a retro MTB (assuming I can fit MTB tyres) I can ride. Is it going to have all the weird raleigh threading, or did they do away with that before the 1990s? I'm assuming...

    Securing shed?

    Hey there Just moved into a new place for university and we have almost three grand's worth of bikes in a shed which has hinges you can remove with a screw driver... Got a ground anchor and a 120dB alarm to lock to, but it's pretty tricky to get your bike out if someone has locked theirs in...

    WTD: Frame (and possibly fork) with canti mounts, 58 TT

    Hey all My friend is after a frame and maybe fork for a cheap cyclocross build. Probably going to be a gas pipe or maybe 531 tourer or sport tourer with canti mounts. Needs to be about a 58cm top tube, +/-2cm. He's after something as cheap as possible, so under about £70 I guess? Thanks in...

    Retro 29ers/700c MTBs?

    So I've come to the conclusion that I'm just too damn tall for my XXL 26" bike. With the saddle high enough I have a crazy amount of drop from the saddle to the bars, and it gives me back ache, not to mention being really ungainly on the descents. What choices do I have for retro-ish MTBs which...

    (Pinkbike) 1995 Balance FS450

    WTD: BIG steel frame

    So I broke my 22" Alpinestars ASR-140 tonight :( Stomped on the pedals to do a wheelie, the axle snapped, and the whole rear end shifted right an inch. Going to try respace it and straighten it, but it doesn't look promising. Since I'm 6'8", I need a huge frame. 21 or 22" with a long top tube...

    Note to self...

    The left pedal goes in the left crank, not the right one. That was very nearly a very bad (if not particularly expensive) mistake. JUST managed to save the crank by the skin of my teeth. It's only a '96 Alivio, but I'm going riding tomorrow.

    1996 Alpinestars bars and 1 1/8" stem

    Pulled these off my ASR140, I'm just too wide for 560mm bars. Both are steel, condition is fair with some rust and scratches, but nothing too visible. £10 posted, or £5 collected from just north of Bristol.

    531 Raleigh on Gumtree. £55 in Exeter

    http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/mans- ... 1019618517 Just spotted this, it's in my size and cheap, but I'm a university student with three bikes and nowhere to keep them as it is. Please, someone else buy it so I don't.

    WTD: Beefy 32h 29er rim/wheel for heavier rider

    Tacoed a wheel yesterday, and need a new rim and spokes. After something like a Stans Flow, Sun Ringle MX33 etc. If it's a complete wheel, I need something with cartridge bearings that can take a 9mm through axle. It's got to be strong, I'm 100kg and pretty rough with my bikes. I broke the...

    Diamondback ID help?

    Hey all This just came up on the local gumtree, happily coinciding with a text saying that a £400 insurance cheque has just been posted to me. Any idea what it its? I'm thinking 1997 or so, looking at the V brakes, trigger shifters and 1 1/8 headset, but I haven't got much clue as to the...

    Paint matching?

    Hey all I have a 1980s Falcon sport-touring bike that I'm currently riding as a single speed 'cross bike. The paint wasn't very good when I got it, and is only getting worse, with the patches of existing rust growing and the odd chip. What's the best way to match the original paint and get it...

    I accidentally a bike. 1996 Alpinestars ASR140

    Meet Molly. She's been a faithful steed for my family since being purchased out of the back door of a wholesale bike part warehouse in Bristol in 1996. For a while she was my dad's. Then my mum's. Then she languished in the garage for a while, because my sister and I got to the stage where...
