    What are these fork attachments?

    In this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_poverty_reduction Almost every bicycle has a pair of rails from the fork dropout to the steerer, with a pair of springs at the top. What are these for?

    Sunbeam restoration

    Hi there, I've just collected a Sunbeam gents bike and wondered if people here had an idea of the model and approximate age? Also, where to find the frame number? I can see marks on a rear dropout but I haven't cleaned anything yet. I am wondering if the number is on the dropout inside the...

    Kryptonite K4 u-lock

    I don't need the actual lock, just the frame mount, which looks like the attached pics. Will gladly pay more than what the bracket is actually worth, it's just to get my old u-lock back on my old bike (which hangs on a wall looking nice these days). It has to be the K4 I think (early 1990s)...

    Cateye (I think) rear light, circa 1992

    Hi guys, I'm after a Cateye rear light that I had in the early 1990s. I spent several hours yesterday looking for it, convinced I had it in a box somewhere, but I must have chucked it years back. I haven't seen it in a very long time. I can't find a picture, but I can describe it. It was...

    Kryptonite lock frame mount

    An unusual request this, but I still have my circa 1990 Krypto Lok that I used on my college bike (which I've fully restored), and I'd like to mount it correctly on the frame. If memory serves, it was on the downtube and mounted so the "U" part of the lock was horizontal, pointing to the front...

    Suitable period replacement cable outers?

    I object to paying ludicrous eBay prices for short lengths of campagnolo c-record gear and brake cable outer, can anyone recommend a modern replacement that would look fine on an old bike? Pearl White, or just plain white I suppose. Needs to have silver or chrome ferrules.

    Headset problem

    I put a C-Record headset onto a frame I'm building up, but there's only enough fork thread to get about half a turn on the top nut before I hit the top race - obviously not enough. This is because on this headset, the washer is normally recessed into the top nut, so there's a couple of...

    Mercian Olympic resprayed

    Thought I'd post images of my Mercian Olympic, which I've just had resprayed (again) by Mercian. I bought this from Loot in about 1990, it was metallic green then and around ten years old. IIRC it had a mix of Suntour, Campag and Shimano parts (shock horror yes someone mixed C & S up). Back...

    Campagnolo c record, 1988-1990

    Hi there, looking for anything c record from the 1988 catalogue, except synchro shifters (which I already have). Anything considered although it must be in excellent condition. Delta brakes (white) and levers also wanted. This is for a complete new build. I also want a 1990 c record rear mech.

    Lemond tsx or tvt?

    Hello all, first post. In the early 1990s, when I was a poor student, only two things caused me to salivate. One was the sight of a pair of Campag Delta calipers in a display case in Harry Halls Cycles, Manchester. The old HH shop, beneath the Corn Exchange. The other was a small advert that...
