Started the next restoration project yesterday, 1950s Rudge Ulster Sports bicycle. got her partially disassembled, but the headset won't loosen, and there's a nasty dent in the top tube, and another in the rear fork, I'm beginning to think I may have bitten off more than I can chew, though I was...

Hi everyone My first resto is near completion and I have a question about gear cable installation. When installing new cables, before tightening the bolts on the mechs, what position should the levers be in? At the moment I have it like this: If I pull the cables tight, tighten up the bolts...

A short update on the 1984 Raleigh Super Burner Custom, decals are on, now all I need to do is replace the headset, fit a new seatpost and sort the bottom bracket. Anyone got a good method for getting stuck seatposts to budge? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2P134K ... ybhwnwr504

Hey guys, I'm having a clearout of my spare wheels stash and I have decided it's time to sell these mags. I have a Raleigh black five spoke front mag stamped 88, probably from a wildcat? Also got an Italian rear mag called "Freestler", white with six spokes, quite a chunk out of one of...

Hi Everyone, how are you all? I am giving some thought to my next restoration, this is a project which may not start for a while, I am still paying off my carbon bike and restoring my Falcon road bike. This is a Rudge Ulster sports, I got it in late 2014 and posted about it at the time, some of...

Hi Everyone, bought this beauty on gumtree back in October, I had been after a Raleigh Record for a while but missed out on a really nice one back in the spring, so I couldn't resist this. The previous owner had cleaned her up and given her two new tyres and tubes. I have not seen many others...

Hi everyone, recently I met a fellow cyclist at university and he owns this old road bike. It looks very nice but has perhaps been resprayed at some point, it has very distinctive lugs as well as a heart on the downtube, and it has Campagnolo parts. Could somebody shed some light on this? Who...

Hey guys please can you keep an eye out for my bike, it was stolen from the communal bike parking outside my flat (near Loch Street) at around 1am last night, the lock was snipped and left a few metres away from my building. I have seen some cctv and it looks like it was taken by two 12 year old...

Hi Everyone Does anyone know a good route in and around Aberdeen, that would be suitable for a university road cycling club ride? Perhaps something around 40 miles long that is safe and manageable for a range of abilities? Any advice would be much appreciated :D Thanks in Advance Michael

Not to be bragging (honestly) but I am wondering how accurate Strava's speedometer is, and what kind of things could make it go wrong, because looking at my speed stats for today's evening ride one can deduce that there is either something far wrong with Strava, or I really am capable of...

Hi Everyone I bought this at a jumble sale back in October and ended up doing nothing with it, I decided recently to move it on and so listed it on gumtree, within a few hours I had a reply, and the next day, a potential buyer came to look at it, the deal was almost sealed when he was having...

A video I shot back in December but only recently got round to editing. I went for a long ride along the coastal road near Aberdeen on my 1994 Marin Sausalito. There is some very nice scenery and I would recommend this route for a bike ride :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30fZDP4SvWA

Hi everyone how are you all doing? I am nearly 21 and am a member of my University's road cycling club, today we had our AGM, 7 people turned up, there were 9 positions going, they had to be filled otherwise the club would have to disband, so by a bizarre twist of fate, I am going to be the...

I got this bike almost 6 years ago when I was still in school, I only rode it for a short while before deciding to restore it, after dismantling and a bit of sanding the project never really went anywhere. One major holdback is the decals. I have not removed the originals yet because I have...
