Reluctantly, I am selling my Sintesi XC bike as my physio has recommended that cycling is not great for my hip. I built this bike with bits off Retrobike and Pink Bike, with the odd eBay and new bit thrown in. It's a mix of old and modern bits but I love it. For a heavy full sus bike it's...

Hi all, I have a vintage (circa 1983) Tamiya Audi Quattro 1/12 RC car, which is taking up space and not being used. It is fully built, working and very retro - I'm quite sad to see it go. Spec is: 58036 Audi Quattro, rebuilt chassis. 540 spec NOS Tamiya motor New roll bar, bumper, tyres...

Hi all, sadly I need to part with my Sintesi as an injury and impending other projects force my hand. I built this from a frame off eBay, with bits almost entirely off here. It's in lovely nick, apart from a couple of scratches and wear marks on the anodising. It has a loose top rear bush (which...

Hey all, Well it's been a while coming, but my first build is virtually done now and I'm quite proud. Ok, so it's not the best, most retro or most bling, but it is my first time so please go easy! I bought the Sintesi frame off Ebay for £40, I am a sucker for nice ally welding and this is...

Hi all, apologies for n00b (and possible non-retro) content... :) I have got to the point with my build that I am ready to adjust the gears etc properly, but I'm a bit lost as to where to begin: 1. I am concerned that the chain is too long, and the rear mech cage (long cage) isn't...

Limited appeal, but there are a few of 'a certain age' on here... :) I have an original 1988 copy of "The Manual" by KLF (Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty), in excellent condition. Still has the HMV price tag of £5.95 on the back. The book was meant as a step-by-step guide to getting a number 1...

Hi all, My other half wants me to build her a bike (oh go on then, if I must :roll: ). Must be cheap, and she's only 5'3" ish so I'm guessing a 15 or 16" frame. Oh and she wants it green or polished (gotta love form over function :? ).

I am in the process of acquiring enough bits to build a complete bike, but house move and baby (who knew kids were expensive? :roll: ) means realistically I can only really do one at the moment... But which one? 1995(ish) Sintesi Hantrax full suspension XC bike - lovely welds, Verlicchi...

I think the cranks I have are RS-7 and I would like some bling in my rings :D Am I right in saying these are 104BCD? Anyone?

Need some RC36-style Pace decals, and some Giant ones to fit a frame. Anyone, please nicely?

So I bought the wrong thread - schoolboy error :evil: I'm after flats/ combos/ one-sided SPDs? Red ideally, but anything considered :)

I can't decide what tyres to go for on my semi-retro build, anyone have any suggestions? I have seen a pair of Onza Porcs on eBay, or Ritchey Z-Max. Not sure really, or am I being too precious? :lol:

I dug these out of the loft a few weeks ago, really took me back... I always lusted after that Kuwahara :oops:

c. 1983 Tamiya 1/12 RC Audi Quattro (part number 58036 if you want to search), selling due to too many shiny things (who knew babies are expensive?). Rebuilt with new bearings, new tyres, new roll bar, NOS Technigold 540 motor, rebuilt transmission. Available with correct and original (but...

As above really, WHY?

I have broken my old bike due to lack of space, and the remainder of the bits are up for grabs - I need the space and cash so no sensible offer refused... Odyssey Shark Bite pedals, good condition but a bit scuffed. No play in the bearings, black - £15 Club Roost Comp II low riser bars...

Anything considered, retro or non, for a rebuild project.

May not be very retro, I know, but I am in need of some disc brakes, pref 160mm but not essential. Anything considered!

Please :) Preferably: Silver aluminium/ carbon seatpost, 250mm upwards RC36 1 1/8" steerer, min 150mm New rear shock, not bothered but would prefer Marzocchi XT/ XTR top pull front mech, 34.8mm min diameter Also looking for: XT rear mech, 8-speed 1 1/8" stem, little bit o...

Hello all :D I am selling my first ever MTB, I don't want a lot for it. Spec is as follows: It's a 19" Muddy Fox (or Mongoose, I don't remember) rigid, owned by me from new. It is snot green and has a few surface scratches, but is generally very tidy. It would benefit from a freshen up...
