I acquired this wreck last summer - mainly bought it because of the Allez chain set and pedals. Unfortunately the Allez parts were write-offs, but the frame felt pretty light and had good components. Some scrubbing was needed :) After some careful scraping remnants were found of the head and...

I instantly liked this one, but have to make room and decided to stick to my 1986 Dawes Nomad - so up for sale Very nice and mostly original 22inch steel GT Karakoram Inferno paint job, in decent nick Comes with the original stem, GT branded bars, Araya CV-7 rims on Deore LX hubs, LX...

G.A. Cycles (founder G. Astbury) is referred to on Classiclightweights as: "the South London shop of GA Cycles, an important pre war bicycle maker" I have found some catalogues on Gracesguide and VCC Library. Strangely enough I have not been able to find other GA bicycles online. I wonder if...

Silly question maybe :facepalm: If a bicycle was set up for 5speed with derailleur, and has a fixed cog on the other side of the hub - how did they change it to fixed? I assume they did not simply flop the rear wheel and rode it fixed with the derailleur as tensioner... I find it hard to...

Decided I should do more cycling and less building :) Picked up this project Stumpjumper 3 months ago in Nijmegen (NL) and brought it over to Cambridge - still as acquired. I paid €75 and happy to pass it on for £50 based on collection from Milton CB24 6BL. I will keep the saddle! Not splitting...

Looking for a vintage 597 front wheel. Not a dynohub version, preferably Raleigh hub with dunlop rim. Schurmann rims are fine as well. Anything suitable and fairly true welcome. If you have a spare wheel set, just let me know :) For a 1951 Rudge Sports / Pathfinder rebuild. Building on a tight...

Decided to let this one go - I have a steel Stumpy to finish as well, so will focus on that one. Just got into retro mtb's :facepalm: Fairly original Specialized Rockhopper Sport Year estimate 1994 1995 Seattube c-t-top 18.5 inch - so probably sold as an 18" Most of it looks to be original...

Some nice components on this one - especially the brakes. Too new for me - altho I really fancy the delta's Ending this afternoon Ebay - location Stotfold http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Retro ... SwNphWZcSm

Quite an interesting Raleigh bike here. Hybrid avant-la-lettre It is a Nottingham built 1975 Raleigh Tourist Mk II It is very original, almost all parts are stamped by Raleigh, probably only the saddle was replaced. Interesting is the frame, the lugs look exactly like a Carlton Grand Prix...

Hi, I am going to start a technical resto on an Evans from the early 50s. Maybe the frame is a bit older... It has a clip headset, and I was wondering if any one can share some insights on what to do and not to do... Is there a specific order on how to loosen and tighten it? Or is it exactly...

I just finished this vintage Dawes I have not been able to identify the model, looking at the headbadge, oiler on the BB, and the original Williams chainset (1962) it would be 1962 or 1963. Seatpost diameter 26.4mm leads me to believe it is straight gauge Reynolds 531 or A&P tubing. I have...

Hi everyone, just registered to the forum - I am Rogier (living in Cambridge), dutch, bikenut. First post to the forum, I hope to post a lot more. I like the puzzle of a vintage bike: when was it built, what model, builder, etc... I recently acquired this Rudge. A rustbucket, but I wanted to...
