This may be a bit of a long shot, but I'm looking for a fluted seatpost. The diameter is 26.8mm,and I'm not sure about the length, other than that it needs to be longer than the 4" posts that are more common on road bikes. There may not be such a thing, in which case I will stick with a plain...

Hi, I need some help please - my bike knowledge has a gaping hole after about 1991! I bought a 2007 Specialized Stumpjumper off t'bay a few years ago with almost all of its parts swapped for cheap crappy ones. I've been gradually building it back to its original spec so that my daughter can use...

I was just browsing on t'bay when I saw this. It's listed as a Paris Dakar groupset (which it isn't) but the pedals look interesting. My French isn't good enough to make sense of the description and Google translate isn't much help. Does anyone know what they are? (pics 7, 8 & 12) Thanks...

I have been looking at getting my frame powder coated, and one place I spoke to said they could do a two-tone fade. He didn't have any examples to show me, but assured me that it works (the place is Cycles In Motion in Sheffield - anyone used them?) I was wondering has anyone seen examples of...

It's a bit grubby, but will clean up. All the pads have disintegrated though. Proper 1990 style!

Does anyone know what this might be? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mountain-bike ... 1728814736 Tange Infinity frame, wishbone stays, short cage (XT?) mech, and only £10!

I've got a friend who produced this video with Team Sky. They're a nice bunch of lads! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmARB4n9rNk Enjoy!

Here's a problem I wonder if anyone has had any experience of. I've got some forks which take a 1 1/4" steerer, but I need a 1", so I need a shim. There are shims on ebay, and Pace also make some, which are 1 1/4" to 1" selling for £20. Plus postage. Here's the rub: Steerers are all standard...

I can't find a thread on here about the innovations in mountain biking, so I'm starting one. Back in the late 80s/early 90s it was these innovations that made mountain bikes seem so weird and rebellious. Mountain biking's heritage is populated with people who really thought about what they were...

So, this is the bike I want to re-build. It is a 1989ish Overburys Pioneer. I bought it in 1989 or 90, (from a guy who I later found out had crashed it before selling it to me - I sent it back to Overburys, and they brazed a small piece on the under-side of the down tube). I was living on the...

I was very kindly sent this picture by Retrobiker doctorstewie. It's from issue 3 of MBUK, and shows the British team at the first ever world championships in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. So, who can identify the riders? And who can identify what they were riding?
