Sorry if this is really simple, I have a bog standard steel mid 80's Falcon and the rear brake is not working, seems to have lost its torsion. They're side pull brakes on steel rims :shock: Which makes wet braking an experience as it is, let alone relying on the front one only, I am going to...

I recent bought one for a fair price., I'd just like to know if the frame is any good, Reynolds. Or just a standard 'gas pipe bike'. I'm not bothered, its a nice geometry for me with a long top tube.I'd just like to see if anybody here could tell me more. There is little info on them on google...

Hi, I decided to keep the Dyna-Tech and fix her up as my daily ride. I'm not the most technical of people, I know how to take things apart and put them back together but I am not good with names, anyway. Recently aquired a mid 90's Dyna-Tech and have noticed there is a lot of movement in the...

I am a full on newbie so please bare with me. What is the name given to 90's MTB frames with the flared rop bars? I have seen a few of these on a forum somewhere, it may or may not have been on retrobike. I am interested in building one of these bad boys and wondered if I was in the right place...

The back wheel on my new bike is proper buggered and I dont have the tools or knowhow to fix it, I was going to use the 'brute force' technique but I still will have loose spokes and no spoke spanner. Cheaper the better, and near Birmingham would be good too. Cheers in advance
