Not seeing many builds on here lately and the whole vintage scene seems gloomy and depressed.. So here is my latest Pug build, another 979 which I've almost finished , just need to fit the back brake which are nutted so need to cut down the pivot bolt . I build to same formula just different...

Anyone got one of these they'd be willing to sell? , it's the fluted one that looks like the super record post. Thanks

About to purchase a pair of Challenge Strada Pro clincher tyres , which I've used on a couple of builds and found to be great tyres. Prices on these have rocketed ( previously bought from winstanleys )and now seem to be about £58 each but available on Ali Express for under £24 . Anyone bought...

Just preparing my much loved 56cm Peugeot Fibre de Carbone PY10-FC ready for sale in the next couple of weeks . I've spent a fair bit to an already fine bike so it now had new benotto bar tape, lever hoods , new sealed bearing bottom bracket , new tubs , new chain etc. Just need to refit front...

Just seen this, a massive saving as they`re clearly not selling many at list price ??

FREE ! Clearout of old bits I`ll never use. Like many retrobikers I`ll often buy a local bike for a frame or whatever bit I want so I end up with plenty of bits that are too good to throw but are of no use to me. Must collect from Accrington (BB5 area ) . What you see is what you get but 3...

I had a sorry experience earlier in the year, I saw a beautiful bike in March on ebay.fr and bought it for 1000euro . Seller was really quite calm and seemed confident that there would be no issues as they had sent loads of bikes and frames over to the UK . It was sent via Colissimo Poste in...

I`ve always been a bit artistic and I recently made a present for someone that was a bit different involving stamps and a photo frame and decided to do one that other Retrobikers might like to try. I got a pack of of cycling themed stamps from ebay for £3 and a photo frame from Asda for £1.50 ...

ANC team frame and forks with original C-Record BB and headset on Gumtree . Buy it, Sell all the other bits and build it back up with C-Record ...lovely . Akam only joined ANC in `87 and was a standby for the `87 tour . It`s not mine , I had Steve Jones `86 ANC bike but sold it last year ...

Not seen any mention of this on RB , what are peoples thoughts on it ? other than it`s bloody expensive at £2500 for the complete bike or £1500 frameset. Anyone actually ordered one ?

Someone snap this up ....its too far from me and collection only or I would have bid it, it`s the only Viscount 600AX I have ever seen and not to be confused with the 600EX . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Road ... Sw3tddhlS- The original press photo that I remember drooling over as a...

Last year I bought a nice pair of new old stock Modolo brake calipers (model `Equipe` ) which I think was the model below the master pro ( even though I cant see any difference ). Anyway I put them away in my `shiny bits for future projects drawer` and only just came to look at them properly and...

Recently bought this lovely Joe Waugh 653 in PDM colours . It is in great condition, it has unmarked full chrome rear triangle and forks I haven`t done anything to it yet apart from fit some pedals and adjust the seatpost. I`m hoping to try it over the Bank holiday before I give it a thorough...

I have always loved the look of the mid 80`s Peugeot Vitus 979 , I understand the bronze colour was only supplied to Peugeot and it is by far my favourite colour for this frame. Anyway early last year I bought a virtually unused example as a frameset and it`s kind of been on the back burner as...

Just picked up this rather lovely timewarp Ti Raleigh which I think is a Joop Zoetemelk special edition?. This bike is a beauty, all original paint and decals, even dealer sticker which has faded but looks like Brown cycles , Newark on trent ? . It`s not the sort of thing I usually buy , it...

In these days of doom, gloom, brexit, stabbings and the general unpleasantness the world throws at us, I would like to share with you my appreciation of a genuinely nice bloke. I hope he won`t mind me posting this but to say Retrobiker `DSH` is one of life`s good guys is an understatement. David...
