Is there anywhere that shows a list of upcoming jumbles down here in the Southwest, I’ve just seen one advertised on Facebook for today Saturday 23 March starting at 8.00, had I known about it a week ago, then I could have made it. Don’t mind travelling a bit around Devon, Somerset or Cornwall...

Any users on the forum, could do with some advice on rear shock & reducing travel, Mike.

Need something for the wife’s new ride, stem for 31.8 bars around 60mm ish, handlebar width not critical rise of 40-50mm. XT hollowtech cranks 170 preferred for triple ring chain set but don’t need rings. Anyone down in Sunny Devon have something light for sale, Exeter/ mid Devon area, Mike.

Anyone down here in the Southwest have a medium 5 spot frame for sale ?

Every time I see one of these early frames for sale I get the urge to buy one, it’s a bike I’ve always fancied but never got an opportunity to get hold of. How easy is it to get hold of replacement bushes these days, as I believe that was the main weakness should I have a moment of madness Ps...

Just bought this as my retirement project, there are no serial numbers or any form of identity on the frame, it was believed refurbed by Argos of Bristol aprox 20 yrs ago, Brake levers are Shimano 600, calipers Dia-compe Fr & rr derailers are Campag as are cranks, shifters are Simplex Seat...

After another year of health problems finally decided off road is no longer for me, so sadly the Yeti is up for sale, front forks are only 100mm travel, but function ok as does rear shock, hope hubs, mainly xt geartrain, cable discs were fitted for ease of maintenance, spare manitou rear shock...

After a year of health problems now back in cycling mode & just acquired a new steed, found some info on Dave Russel but it would be nice to try & date it as well. Its in origional condition with hardly a mark on the paintwork, only later additions are seat & bottle cage, frame is 21.5"...

hello, looking for some replacement forks for my old yeti, 26" old school Q/R, 190mm str, post mount disc, travel needs to be 120 or idealy 140mm, prefer something I can collect from down here in the west country but sometimes travel up to Chippenham area, thanks, mike.

hello, the rear swinging arm of my newly acquired Yeti 575 has suffered over time from stone chips, chain slap & years of enjoyment leaving whats left of the clear lacquer looking quite scruffy, I'm now facing two choices, either leave it as it is & just enjoy riding it, or try & remove it all &...

Update on my Gary Fisher Cake build, now sporting mavic on hope wheels with some decent tyres, found a Bonty Race stem in the shed & an xt rear mech, still undecided whether to upgrade to 9 or leave as 8 speed as I now have parts for either, I also have a choice of chainset from xtr octolink...

After recent surgery & worsening arthritis extreme offroading is now a thing of the past, however, some light singletrack & bridle path rides may not be out of the way. My gary fisher cake project is progressing nicely but the 19" frame is a little snug on the standover so it got me thinking...

looking thro my shed stock & came across a spare xt m750 rear mech which I'm sure is a 9 speed, can this be used on an 8 speed set up ( obviously with 8 speed shifter), any ideas on this , thanks, mike b.

Although I have put this up for sale due to health reasons, I'm still tempted to hang on to this & finish building it up. Have done a quick search on the forum & it appears there may be a few cake owners on here, but there seems to be very little info on the bikes that I can find anywhere. I...

This was going to be my winter project, but following some major surgery & a long spell convalescing I have ben told in a no uncertain terms by my doctor that off roading is no longer viable. So here we have a GF cake 1 circa 2000's paintwork in good order, no dents on frame or damage to carbon...

holy grail is an orange 5, prefer earlier straight top tube 16" model, may consider any other single pivot bike, cash waiting, must be within a couple hours drive from Exeter so I can collect, mike b.

Sad to see this gathering dust in the shed, but I prefer riding my hardtail around the lanes these days, it does have a few paint chips but nothing major, most importantly there are no dents or frame damage, shimano 105 groupset all in good working order, not sure of exact frame size but I am 5'...

hello, looking for a good usable v brake 26" wheelset with either hope or mavic hubs, rear must be 9 speed compatible, prefer to collect within a reasonable distance of Exeter, thanks, mike b

hello, looking for a pair of good useable 26" wheels with either hope,pace or mavic hubs, must be able to take a 9 speed cassette that I can collect within a reasonable distance of Exeter, mike b.

sadly my arthritic knees & hips can longer propel this across the common at the speed I would like, so rather than have it languish in the shed it's time to move it on to fund other projects, can't remember the build year but the colour is "peaty red" if that helps, mixture of components over...
