Looking for a plastic bottom bracket cable guide for a Cannondale SM700. This is what I want to replace.

A friend of mine owns a piece of land for their horses and I was helping out with some repairs on a barn, when I found a half buried mtb in a ditch. Literally buried and waterlogged (being a ditch). One thing led to another and I ended up being gifted this frame, which had a pair of ridged...

Looking for a early 1990’s Dawes hardWARE mountain bike. Please pm me if you no longer want one. Image borrowed from google images

Apollo Encounter 2014 I was given this bike by a friend for my wife who wants to get out on the trails and enjoy the outside. The idea is that this very budget bike (last sold for around £100 I believe and can be bought for little over £40 on ebay/gumtree etc) that can be made into something...

Hi all, I normally post in the older bike section, so please excuse the intrusion. :D My wife has a ‘Halfords special’ (Apollo encounter) hybrid bike. The reason being is that it was given to me by a friend and she wants to come out riding with me on the trails. I am slowly going through it...

I couldn’t see a great deal to do with cycling trails in and around south Devon, so I thought I’d post my travels here. I have just got back into the hobby after a 10 year break and a 20 year break from doing anything serious. The bike I now use I built back in 1995 from parts and has evolved...

I want to have a play on comfort with my old Merlin, so I’m on the look out for a couple of bits. On the look out for a circa 1995 riser handle bar & stem. Ideally silver but black would be ok, of a resonable make. Please pm me. Tia. ‘Edit, handle bars found - still on the lookout for riser...

My wife recently got hold of a hybrid bike, more because we both wanted to get back out doing what we both enjoy. I had forgotten how dirty one gets when out on a slightly damp trail, so I opted to fit a pair of budget crud catchers to both my old Merlin and this heavy beast of a Halfords...

I thought I’d document the build of my mtb as I built it back in 1994/5 on the money I got from my paper round and my Saturday job. It all started with a pair of mavic 238 wheels with s/steel spokes and Alivio hubs and a 7sp rear crank. At the time I didn’t know what I was going to build but I...

Hi all, My first post and my return to mountain biking. I recently brought my home built down hill/XC bike out from retirement (built around 1994) and became acutely aware that the front forks had collapsed and were completely solid. Having a look about online I thought it be wise to strip them...
