It's been a while since I've hung out on retrobike but I just bought some slightly knackered but lovely RSRs and more recently a 94 Explosif frame. I only planned to get my 98 Explosif up and running so my girlfriend could ride trails around the New Forest and hopefully the South Downs but I'm...

Hi, I'm looking at getting some new forks for my commuter bike (it's based on a custom made ti frame though so not your usual beater), at the moment it has double butted Project 2s but they were built for disc brakes (I'm using V-brakes) so are pretty stiff and make the ride harsh. Has anyone...

Looking for some M8 canti mount bolt thingies (everyone seems to call them different things) for some Rock Shox Pilots although I'm sure most of the other models ones would fit. Can't seem to find them anywhere on the 'net or even on eBay. Cheers, Matt

Renovating a Moulton Speedsix and looking for some missing parts. TA chainring of around 60t, a few teeth either way should be fine. Milremo 5 pin cranks preferably the 555 model (steel fluted arms) and possibly a Cyclo P2 rear mech. Good prices paid as I'm looking for these items in a hurry...

Looking for a centre lock lock ring, will pay a fiver posted. Need it in the next week if possible. Stupidly didn't check an eBay listing when buying some rotors so if someone can take pity on me that'd be great. Cheers, Matt

Grr, Shimano aren't making the M970 V-brake now and I can't seem to find then online so I'll pay up to £70 for a very good condition pair or £130 for the front and rear. Cheers, Matt

Looking for a nicer mech for my touring tandem so it matches all the other nice parts. Needs to be long cage as it's got a triple and a wide range cassette because I have to honk up the hills while the mrs smokes tabs and drinks wine on the back. Cheers, Matt

I've managed to order the wrong bloody spokes for a wheel I'm building for a mate coz I'm well clever... Any ideas what this fella is? It's before a Bulb which is when my knowledge begins but other than that I've not got a scooby. https://picasaweb.google.com/boddunn/Hu ... directlink...

Hi all, I've had a few retro rides in the past but I'm putting together a Kilauea at the moment so I'm wondering if there are any rides near Leicester. Unfortunately (well, it's mostly fortunate) I don't have a car so rides out by Bradgate Park, Martinshaw Woods etc. would be ideal. Just...

After a 20mm hub for a trailer/go kart project. Condition not important but will need to be 36 hole. Looking to spend around 20 quid. Cheers, Matt

I'm thinning my stable and want to get my favourite bike from back in the day. Not worried about condition, prefer full bike but will consider anything at all. A Cinder Cone would be nice but any bike from '94 would be good. Top price paid for what I'm looking for. I've got funds in my PayPal...

Back in the day I had a '94 Kona Fire Mountain and it rode beautifully but then I got the '95 version which didn't feel the same at all, I've checked the geometry in the catalogue and it's saying they're the same so maybe I'm even more prissy than I imagined... Anyway, question is, does anyone...

Might be a long shot but does anyone live in Leicester and have a '94 Kona I can have a sit on? I had an 18" red Fire Mountain back in the day and I remember it being the best bike I've ridden even though it eas probably a bit small for me. I got a replacement when it got nicked (96-7?) and felt...

Don't mind condition too much, they're going to be used for a go kart and a bike trailer so shiny and pretty isn't important. Looking to spend no more than £20 delivered. Can also throw in a 10mm axle front hub that's not quite right for what I want, 36 hole also, if it helps. Cheers, Matt

Found the below Al Carter on the police auctions, not heard of them myself but good old Retrobike IDed it! http://www.bumblebeeauctions.co.uk/XcAPViewItem.asp?ID=101762

Weird looking downhill bike, estimate looks quite reasonable though http://www.catalogue-host.co.uk/tca/2011-05-15/lot_422?prev_page=browse%20by%20section&prev_url=%2ftca%2f2011-05-15%2fcategory_10_page_1

Terrible picture but might go for a song if you're in the Bristolish area. http://www.bumblebeeauctions.co.uk/XcAPViewItem.asp?ID=98580

Bloody hell, I've had to lube my shifter coz it was barely shifting but it's not going back together. Any ideas?

Hi, I always feel like people are spamming a bit when they post links to their websites in forums but I found it easier to create this page and then link to it rather than create a whole post here. I really should get the hang of HTML but the jobbers you add don't seem to stick in my sieve...
