It's been a few months since I asked the forum wanted section for "a cheap frame", the original intention being to whack together a quick bike with spare parts I had taking up space in the cupboard. Forum member 'mrgumby' supplied me with a lovely (slightly rough around the edges) 1979 Peugeot...

Hi, looking for a cheap but functioning rear wheel that would suit a 98 Rockhopper, Preferably with 8 speed cassette. The original wheel was a Ritchey OCR, but anything considered, under £40 posted please.

I have a few parts to clear out as they wont find their way onto any of my current projects. Cinelli Top 64 Ergo bars, 42cm wide, 26.0mm clamp size. Good condition other than minor tape marks. £40 posted. Mavic Pursuit bars, 26.0 mm clamp size, with cable routing holes. Good condition...

Hi, I would appreciate some help sourcing a bottom bracket for this Peugeot I've just resprayed. I'm not totally sure what I need so I'd like some advice please, or if you have one to sell would be great, thanks.

Hi I need some drop bars that will fit a 26.4 Cinelli quill stem. Cable channels preferred, 40-44 width. Thanks.

Hi, Up for sale is this lovely Raleigh Rapide. I've recently cleaned it all up, It's had new cables, Raleigh tyres, and grip tape. Generally in excellent condition, the frame is 23", it is clean but has some minor scuffs and pitting. Original Weinmann rims, lovely and straight, Maillard hubs are...

This is my latest bike, a Raleigh Rapide. I recently bought it on Gumtree, like most of my bikes. It's in lovely condition, I already stripped it and cleaned all the components and it looks like it has only had one pair of tyres from new and they still had a bit of life left in them. I'll give...

Last weekend I decided to take my Moser into my LBS just to get a couple of bits finished off and the final tweaks to get the gears working smoothly. I asked the guy to fit a new rear cassette (which I already had) because I don't have the tool, it needed a new chain too, and the rear gear cable...

I have had this for a few weeks now,it's a Peugeot NS22 (22" wheels) I actually bought it for my wife to ride but I've had it in the back of my mind that it might make an interesting conversion. I've seen forum members convert 20" 'shopper' bikes into racers with a decent looking riding...

Hi, I'm looking for a frame for my next build. I'm not looking for anything fancy, I have almost a bikes worth of spare parts so I may as well build something up to clear space for my next 'proper' project. My only criteria are; Straight, 54-60cm, preferably with fork, under £80 posted. Brand...

Hi, I've just noticed this on my local Gumtree. A Viscount Aerospace Pro, been 'fixied' but F+F look good. I know these can be fairly sought after, but no idea if that's a good price or not. I'd have it as a project but as I'm too skint I thought I'd give you guys a heads up :wink...

I'm looking for a wheelset for my Moser. They must be clean, smooth, straight, and compatible with my Shimano Biopace chainset (Preferably hyperglide block), 7 speed and under £150 (Posted to Norwich). Thanks.

Hi, Just a quick question. I have a Shimano 105 Biopace chainset on my bike, can I match this with a Campag (or other) rear block/cassette or does it have to be a Shimano for the narrow chain to fit? Thanks.

For sale: Campagnolo Khamsin rear disc wheel. Single speed cog on 120mm axle. Overall good condition with a very good smooth hub and solid discs but the rim join has slipped (on one side only) around 1mm at some point. This does not move under pressure and shows no sign of weakness. When you...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'd like to show you my F. Moser which I think is from the early 90's. I found this on Gumtree a few months ago, bought as a complete bike for £75. It was in a sorry state though, thick with dirt and grime, nothing worked as it should and the seat post was seized...

Hi, I'm looking to swap my Khamsin rear disc wheel. It is configured for track use with 120mm rear spacing and a single speed cog, fitted with a brand new Vittoria tubular tyre. The condition is good overall, the discs are very clean and hub is clean, solid and running smoothly. The rim is...

Hi, I recently acquired a mid 80's Campagnolo Khamsin (I think) disc wheel. It is currently set up as a single speed so I intended to put it on my F. Moser frame as a SS conversion but my LBS advised me that the rear spacing on the axle is for a 120mm track frame. I think the Moser is 126mm so...
