    Dura Ace wheel

    I found this oddity on Facebook marketplace. It's NOT mine and I don't know the seller, but £30 for what may be a DuraAce front wheel (track disc?) https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 789226210/

    Cracking stem - RaceFace Deus XC

    Just found this crack/split in my RaceFace Deus XC stem. It's under 3 years old. It's on the underside at the junction with the steerer. It looks to be full thickness as opposed to cosmetic. From the location, shape and size, I'm thinking it's an over-tightening issue, rather than impact or...

    Planet X retro road stuff.

    Maverick ML75 rear suspension damper servicing

    Maverick have currently cesed trading, but are still doing service work (at least in the USA (Ethan Franklin in Colorado), UK (Craig Simpson) and Europe (Alpatech)). My ML75 rear damper had ceased working properly (top out bumper fragmented and damping oil turned to mouse) so I decided to...

    Certini road frames - who's bought them and how do they look

    Hi, I posted up about the NOS frames at Certini Cycles in Saltash (and it seems they've had a fair bit of interest since (sold out I hear)). So, assuming the frames have been RetroBiked, who's got one and how's it look. Mine's lovely and posted here...

    Saw this and thought of you - Bio-Racer with Mavic Zap

    FYI, not promoting a sale. London Fixed-gear and Single-speed forums have a gorgeous looking Columbus Genius racer with Mavic Zap. It's located in the RoW rather than the UK. But looks rather nice. http://www.lfgss.com/thread69703.html

    Oooo nooo, what have they done (Pace content)

    Just idly searching and I found this: http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/pace- ... s/76388991 Not my cup of tea (diplomacy in case she belongs to someone on here). Hope some one has liberated the poor thing (legally) and dresses it more appropriately. I did try to find an existing...

    Lycra Saddle Covers

    Weren't they lovely back in the day? :oops: A real piece of Retro ephemera. Any one still got them? Any pix? Do't be shy.

    NOS own brand road frames -Certini Cycles, Saltash, Cornwall

    Speaking with chappy at Certini, he thinks they have a variety of retro kit (less than before they took on the Specialized Concept store - loads went to the tip!). He mentioned crud claws and cog hogs plus a range of (probably mid to low) forks amongst other stuff. To be honest he didn't...
