I've just purchaed a frame badged as a Pavey. Early 90's at a guess. The serial number starts Y00 ?? 098 Any idea's, maybe someone with a John Pavey could help. The unusual feature is the three rear brake guides which are brazed on under the top tube. 126OLN, double bottle bosses, DT gear lever...

sorry such a petty question. Trying to avoid that bulky look on 25.4 bars. I'd use cloth, but I'm running Sram and from experience cloth doesn't stretch well around the lever/shifters. I used a perforated tape in the past, just can't recall what it was. thanks

Just having my first ever custom bike built. Can you guess what it is?

Has anyone done this conversion on SRAM brakes. I've done it twice with Shimano dual pivot. Just no Srams about to try.

Just collected a bike to commute on, and it's rather nice for £50 Just wonder who might have built it 482982. Just seems quite fancy for a el cheapo off the peg. I know the seatpost is 26.8

I'm not sure how good an idea this is. It's a 64 Claud Butler Olympic Path. Just want to avoid that paintjob on wheels look. I'm guessing there's a recommended way of 'not making it worse'

Is it likely to be these pony looking Shimano plastic canti's. If so is there any reason I cant use side pulls?

I have a very nice unknown frame that I'll never identify. 531 professional, 531 butted chrome forks added later with the frame number etched by hand. Long spearpoint heart cut out Prugnat lugs. Seat collar is threaded. Campagnolo drop outs f&r. Mid 80s. I'd like it decaled up. I guess a shop...

just got this unmarked frame. 531 butted. Looks like a sequential serial number 10007. Fork matches though a W is etched next to it on the forks. Campagnolo front and rear dropouts, the rear is a portacatena type. Heart cut out Prugnat lugs. The seat lug is threaded, so no nut required. 126mmm...

Looks like 110007 or 10007, but it's stamped into a recess, which seems like a mass produced approach? Reynolds 531db, mid 80s. All decals removed, 531 transfer on downtube near shifters. Looks like holdsworth colour

I've have this old Claud Butler with bent in forks. They've been stored for a while and look to be crushed? Everything is in line. I'm at the point where I'm thinking of putting them in a vice and pulling straight. Looking at the image I'd like the support of your opinions.

Does anyone know if the old style Weinmann flat bar levers operated the weinman centre pulls? Converting a Ken Bird drop bar mixte to flat bar. Got everything except the levers and I'd like to stay period.

I'm pretty sure the frame I'm about to start on is 731OS The ST and TT are coming up about 28.8 and the DT about 32, that's with paint. I've only got 27.2 posts and they don't fit. But that's what the internet is saying should fit. So can anyone confirm this for me please? Geofrey Butler team...

My latest frame is badged up as a Clemenso, but with a Belgian shop headbadge rather than Clemenso head badge. However it has H and H in a heart engravings. Clemenso have C and heart engravings. A likely candidate is a Van Herwerden from Holland, they have all variations of H engravings. And...

I'm building a day to day bike. I want it to be nice. Anyway I got two projects at the same time. A 541st Harry Hall complete bike but 1/2" too big. And a Geoffrey Butler ex team 731os frame only. Which is an inch too small. Budget is for a re paint and tyres that's it. I'm leaning towards the...

An Ebay purchase not yet received. I was sure I'd seen this before, but I can't find anything now. Seems to be Reynold, simply as there are 'flying' R's on the forks Anyone?

I posted the other day about a scrapped 1938 Holdsworth I was allowed to have. I've totally stripped it now, and would like to keep as much as possible. I'm posting images so you can see the extent of the problems. Also I'd love to get it repainted. Where it has been painted the metal is fine...

I have a scrapped frame, just collected yesterday evening. I'll attach some images. But a quick glance at models hasn't helped. This has track ends, Chater Lea style top eyes, two oilers on the bb shell, top tube pump pegs, very steep fork rake and a 53/55 style badge. But the only number on...

Whilst in the process of trying to identify a frame I noticed this. Where seat and chainstays meet the rear drop outs. Reynolds tubes almost all have rounded ends. Whilst Columbus all seem to have scalloped ends. Is this an actual fact, or just coincidental with the images I've searched.

I had a few, a Birds of Colidale and Reg Barnett. They were nice frames, but they weren't Reynolds or Columbus, and the ends weren't stamped. So any idea where these were produced?
