Any good (or bad) recommendations for a video camera to record rides and especially poor driving? I probably have at least one, if not more, incident on every longer ride. Today was a close drive by ( I swear less than 6” from me!) caught up at the next junction to remonstrate, driver lowers...

When you spend just a tad too long looking at a bike, and the seller is determined to sell despite your protests about not needing another bike! Eventually the price was so low that you break and reach for your wallet. Badged as a Cougar with Columbus SLX, Shimano 600 running gear, Cinelli bar...

I’ve been refurbishing my Colnago Master find and using eBay and FB marketplace to source parts. In the process I came across an MBK frame for sale £20 trashed wheels, straight handlebars but an early 105 RD and downtube shifters AND a Dura Ace chainset! So, the Chainset is now on the Colnago (...

Whilst rooting around one of those huge Junk Emporiums I have come across what appears to be an old chromed Bianchi frame! It’s under a dozen other bikes ( nothing of note, 90s mob, Halfords specials etc). The Chrome is shot, it’s running 2x6 on tubulars and it doesn’t look like it has any...

This is a bit of a project for me. A rattle can paint finish on a frame with a few interesting detail. Dura Ace chainset, Campag seatpost ( unfortunately it had both corroded and painted itself into the frame so is no more) and a lovely set of ‘Pete Matthews’ rims. I’m going to repaint and...

I have acquired an old mixte frame Peugeot which I want to recommission for a retro ride for the wife ( not a bad swap!). The current seatpost is steel chromed and although in good condition, is a bit short. Anyone got an alloy 24 mm seatpost ( I don’t mind it needing a clean/ polish ) lying...

Title says it all, forks need damper oil, and only thing to hand is regular 5/30w synthetic oil for my car. Should I? Or if not what to use as no spec sheet for forks

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 966122487/ Bit of old school 90s retro, at what seems a fair price for the novelty

Pair of Hope closed system reservoir caps wanted ( black with silver adjustment dial ) Or someone who wants a pair of XC4 callipers, hose and levers ( minus caps) for their retro project.

I’m trying to split my 7 speed rapid fire shifters away from the brake levers so as to upgrade the brakes. Problem finding a Shimano handlebar clamp to hang them off. Any ideas anyone?

Anyone got anything interesting bar wise with a 26mm clamp diameter?

As it says in the title , anyone can help?

Aiming to get this Mr XC back on the road and found in my bits box a pair of Hope calipers which I think are C2s. Offered them up against 160mm rotors and they are miles off!b Adapter available anyone? The fork is a Magura ‘Rond Quake’

I have a set of these that I am trying to fit onto a tandem frame (to provide at least some retardation!) Anyone got foolproof bleeding technique for the long rear set up?

Local FB Marketplace bargain that I had to save from its fate. The question now is what to do? I’m going to repair or source a new rear mech (XT) but it needs shifters and brakes. I have a set of old Hope disc brakes, C2 I think, but they’ll probably need putting back together. Or I do have a...
