Hi, well im stumped, i bought a bike to use at Eroica last year, my previous ride a Dave Russell 653 had to be commited to the great bike hanging rack in the sky (snapped chainstay!) - picked this up, cleaned, lubed, fettled the gears, air in tires and presto did the 55 miler no probs, even rode...

Period correct, PKN10 'Routier' 10spd in time warp condition, it does have a few nicks and scratches to be expected on a 35 year old frame but it has to be seen to be fully appreciated, the gold paint work looks fantastic in the sun, a real head turner. I bought the bike this year from a chap...

I'm scratching my head on this one… I have a pair of used Gios forks that I bought for a refurb project, they weren't in bad shape but there was some pitting to the chrome so i had them re-chromed, they came back looking great ready to fit. I never actually checked the spacing when I bought...

Anyone had any experience upgrading the cassette on a Mailard 'Trophy' hub with a 5spd block? - is there any chance I could make this 6spd or perhaps even a 7? - I think it currently has a Simplex block on there but I'm not sure. I'm currently weighing up some options to sympathetically upgrade...

Picked this Peugeot up at the weekend, after much scrubbing with a toothbrush and a whole load of degreaser has come up really nice, It's a Peugeot Competition, not sure of year but must be early 80's i would imagine, a mix of Simplex, Mafac and Atax equipment, nice Rolls saddle, Stronglight...

I'm prepping my Dave Russell 653 for Eroica this year and to my shock have found that my drive side Chainstay has cracked underneath about 10mm from the bb lug. The crack is about 15mm across, Naturally, I'm a bit concerned about riding now and also a bit gutted as the paint works in great...

Hi, I'm looking for a Gios head badge, mid 80s - 90's style, in good condition… the enamel on mine has worn away quite a bit and would like a replacement for my resto project. Posted this previous but still on the hunt. Thanks Ad

Hi, Im searching for a 1 inch threaded fork for my Gios road bike, preferably chrome and pantographed but will consider anything original, carbon/alloy threadless fork by Gios/Mizuno also considered. Many thanks Ad

Hi, started building my Gios rat bike last night, most of the parts I've collected over time are bolted on now and looking distinctly shabby chic! I don't think the boys in Turin would approve but I'm liking how it's going! I wanted to run as an 8spd set up, Shimano 600 series tricolour rear...

I've recently acquired a Dawes Galaxy Mixte for the missus, pretty original as far as i can tell but was in a bit of a state so i've stripped and rebuilt, first proper ride will be at Eroica next month but judging by it's current stopping power it's not going anywhere! I'm new to canti's but...

Bit of a long shot but I'm after a set of road forks to match my mid 90's Gios Lite frame, currently have Gios branded mizuno carbon blades which are great, but I'm really after an original set of steely's, chromed, pantographed, you know the kind. Also, could do with a replacement headbadge as...

Hi, Looking for a few parts to finish (start!) my Gios Lite build, I know it's probably sacrilege to veer away from all campag on an italian frame like this but I've always got on with Shimano kit and I do like the overall look of the 600 series stuff. Need 1 x 600 series 'Tricolor'...

Hi, I'm trying to source a mixte framed road bike for my wife in fair condition, med to large frame, ideally made by a uk builder, Mercian, Bob Jackson etc. Complete bike or frames. Many thanks Adam
