What it says in the header. Not fussd about brand but it's to go with a yellow frame so yellow, or purple for contrast. I'd consider a threaded steerer or unthreaded, as I have to buy a headset so will get whatever the forks demand. It's just for a commuter for my wife so just looking for...

My wife has a commuter hack which has a 7-speed set up with a 12-32 cassette. Recently she needed a new rear mech so I put on a spare 9-speed Deore one. It works, sort of, but on the largest sprocket, the top jockey wheel is so close to the sprocket that the teeth of the two actually touch...

I commute daily on an early 90s Saracen Backtrax. The rear rim is wearing through so I just want a cheap but decent replacement 7-speed wheel. Not looking for anything special rim or hubwise. My current hub is stx-rc and rim is a non-name but probably mavic. Stainless spokes necessary though as...

Looking for some decent nick purple ano bars for a cheap commuter build. Currently using some purple Charge Straws but they are too narrow for my liking. There don't seem to be any on ebay excepy expensive high-end ones.

Anyone know of a good way to clean light coloured tyres, or specifically the sidewalls? I've scrubbed and scrubbed with soapy water but the dirt is really ingrained in the rubber. It's all road dirt from this winter, so hasn't been there long, but I can't shift it.

I bought an un-named frame off Bankrupt surplus on ebay last year, intending to knock up a new work bike. Finally got around to it this week and found that the triple cable-stop on the seat tube end of the top tube is brazed on back to front! I bought it months ago and never noticed this. I've...

Assembling a 'new' bike; the threaded steerer projects about 20mm above the headset lock ring. I'm undecided whether to insert some spacers (under the lockring?) or to cut the steerer down. The latter seems a bit...final, but I'm not sure whether spacers would A.work and B.look right. What does...

Am I correct in thinking that to fit a seat tube that is 29.2mm in diameter, I need a 28.6mm front mech?

I have these two frames and if anyone wants to collect them from me in Sheffield, they are yours for free! First up, a 1991 Alpinestars Cromega. It's well used, shall we say, but is sound and no dents, just plenty of scratches and rust spots, and a little bit of trivial distortion at the top...

...and I REALLLY wanted these too! Doh! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NIB-ADVENT-Ul ... 7675.l2557 Anyone else ever done that? Go on, make me feel better.

Red ano flat bars (or green), and similar 1 1/8" quill For a new commuter I'm building, so not bothered about make, as long as condition is OK.

In trying to remove a siezed headset, the locknut split. The top nut is also a bit chewed up but will still function. Anyone got a spare locknut in XTR silver, 1990s vintage? Like this one but in 1 1/4" size: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NIB-XTR-HS-M9 ... 3f1fa5ef85

...how much erm...force am I allowed to use? :wink: I know that I can beat or stab a burglar to protect the safety of myself, family or property, but what about my mobile property, ie. my bikes? Is it OK to come up behind and batter them with a length of scaffold pole, or do they have to...

I've been offered a titanium frame that's been in a fire. All the componentry is destroyed, either burnt or melted, but the frame is OK, although very discoloured and covered in crap. Well, I say that, but the seat stays are slightly bent. I reckon I can straighten them OK though. What...

The people at Raleigh (as was, RIP) would be horrified to see their name attached to...to THIS! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-Max-M ... 416cc78456

My 91 Alpinestars cromega seatpost finally bit the dust last week, the clamp completely giving way. The saddle had been slipping for a while as the serrations on the clamp were smoothed off. Repeated retightening had effectively stripped the threads. The post was well tatty anyway, and was...
