Hi All. Clearing the bike shed. Tap & Die set for M25x1 and M35x1 (French 😍 threads) for steerer and bottom bracket. Do a good job chasing threads and I used the M25x1 to tap a couple lockrings for Sheldon Brown-style threadless hack. £52 posted in UK tracked;

Hi All, Since I've completed my new summer bike build I need to clear some space in the bike shed. Selling my Spitfire Ti frameset. Had it for 4 (?) years. I lost track. Bought some time around covid. Hope bottom headset, ZTTO top headset, fsa steerer plug, noname chinese carbon fibre post...

Romani... A name that needs no introduction. I'm sure you all remember the TV ad: "If you have a little mani, Buy yourself a fast Romani." You all know the brand and you've all longed for it, but only a few of us are lucky enough to perch our bottoms on this pinnacle of Italian framebuilding...

https://www.facebook.com/share/1Y5bSjEBPz/ I have no space or time for it and I'm probably a bit too tall for it at 6ft2, but surely somebody can adopt this little beauty?

Hi All, I've had one of my frames re-sprayed, and the paint shop managed to keep the original chrome on the rear triangle. I've got chrome joining powder coat on the stays and I thought I'd put a narrow strip of tape around it (I believe that's how it's often done on vintage bikes). Any...

Early Christmas present for the Mrs for somebody? https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/expedition-bike-thorn-nomad-mk3-rohloff-hub-stepthrough/1487697877 If the Mrs is too tall, might be worth finding a shorter one to fit this bike.

Saw this for sale on local Gumtree. I am guessing this frame is alloy, so the guy must have had balls of steel if he manged to bend it like this. Still, must have been very painful.

I know there's a trend for reducing the number of spokes in the wheels, but this one takes it several steps too far in my books...

Hi all. I treated myself to a pair of retro-styled Arturos last year, since I don't like cleats and ride wide MTB flats with spikes, even on my road bikes. http://www.cycletouringsupplies.co.uk/store/p193/Black_Arturo_leather_cycling_shoes_Resin_sole_with_a_rubber_grip.html Found the shoes...

Hi all, Hoping to pick your brains about using a Novatec "lighweight" road hub A171SB, F172SB in a rigid 26'er wheel build. I've got a vintage MTB frame I'd like to build up, and the rear is for a 130mm hub. I also have got at least 2 pairs of said Nova hubs that have proven to be very good...

Hi All, I've got an old rim from a bike I bought a wee while ago that I can lace into a road bike front wheel. There's no wear indicator on the rim and the braking surfaces appear worn but OK. I know nothing about the rim history. Bought a cheapo dental caliper and it's showing about 1.0mm...

Hey fellers. Has anyone ever heard anything about Huni bikes? Asking for a friend 😆 A bit of googling brings up: An MTB sold by a bike recycling charity in Hungary: https://recikli.com/en/huni-klasszikus-mtb/ Originally sold by Brember Valley shop in Italy according to the sticker (Shop...

I was going to put in a cheeky £20 bid to get this for my kids, drill a stop hole & wrap some CF around the headtube, but the price jumped to over £100 delivered already, and there's 4 days to go. WTF?! For a cracked frame? I think the look of brushed ti surfaces just messes with people's...

Ok folks, this is the most ambitious project to date. Will greatly appreciate your help. I've been looking for the right Scot frameset in my size for several years now. It does help massively that I live about 50 miles away from where they were made, but still these framesets seem to be quite...

Hi All. A question on the retro 27" wheels (etrto 630) - are they still alive? I.e. Would I regret building a set of 27" wheels because there's no more tyres being made for them? Or is it just the case of solid supply of limited options from modern manufacturers? Thanks.
