What are peoples thoughts on these bikes? They seem to hold their value really well, especially the Cnoc 14 and 16. I just got a Cnoc 14 second hand for £100 which seems to be a bit of a bargain, it is one of the newer ones with the fork angled into the drop-out. Seems really well make and one...

My old Lava Dome has 21 gears and I'm thinking of simplifying it down to 7 gears. How do I go about getting the spacing right for the chainring, and can anyone suggest some good ratios for a 7 speeder?

So I can spin the pedals and the wheel goes round.

I have just bought a second hand Ridgeback MX20 for my daughter and I have noticed there is a slight play in the bottom bracket (wiggling the cranks I can feel it, and on the chainring side i can see the chainring moving a bit).

My 7 year old daughter has a Ridgeback MX16 but it's starting to get too small for her. Can anyone recommend a slightly larger bike? I like the look of the Islabikes Beinn 20 but I'm not sure she's ready for gears yet.

I have a 1991 Kona and there is a lot of play in the bottom bracket area. What tools do I need to taken the cranks and bottom bracket apart and regrease and tighten? I dont have a bike tool kit.

For example this one by Hamax: We just got one but as it fits to the seat tube it seems you cannot use it one ladies frames or on bikes with top pull front mechs as the cable is routed down the seat tube. Can anyone help me find some makes of bike that dont have the front mech cable going...

Thinking of getting my OH a retro Kona and I'm not sure if she'd need a 16" or an 18" frame. Or did they ever do 17"?

Does anyone her use vintage tyres for regular cycling? I have a few but most are cracking or the rubber seems a bit dry with a white coating to the knobs.

Or are the rear drop-outs on newer bikes further apart?

Can you use the same brake levers? Is it just a matter of taking off the cantilever arms are sticking on V-brakes in their place?

Got a Hotwalk balance bike for my 3.75 year old daughter and it comes with a really short seat tube. Looking for a longer one, like this Onza one I found on ebay but maybe cheaper: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Onza-BMX-Red- ... 51b1ae751d
