Hi All! Been a while, hope all is going well in retro-land! Does anyone have a Minoura HyperMag that is broken at all as I need a spare part! My trusty 10 year old turbo trainer has stripped the thread on the backing plate that the knob adjuster screws into. If anyone has any spares it would...

Hi all, long time no post! Hope all has been going well in retro-land! While having a wardrobe clearout for the charity shop I found my old Pace racing jersey. To be honest I cant see myself wearing it so rather than it end up for 50p in Sue Ryder I thought I would give you guys first go...

Hi All! Any ideas for a new seatpost for my 1998 LeMond. Here are the must have's: 27.2 Silver (how come they are like all black now!) Layback Can be Retro if available or bang up to date - basically something nice and shiny! Cheers for any ideas!

Oh dear, looks like LeMond and Trek are parting company: http://www.bikebiz.com/news/29474/Trek-files-suit-against-Greg-Lemond Gotta say on the one hand fair play to LeMond for saying it like he feels it and not being chained down by the corporate pressures. On the other, I really cant...

Hi All, Any one else lucky enough to catch some snow this weekend?! Took me nearly 2 hours riding to do about 9 miles, but it was fun though :) One thing I did notice as this was the first snow ride with my SIDs is how less temperature sensitive air springs are -...

Hi All, MY XT freehub has died after 10 years loyal service. The legend that is Shane at Cytek has got me back on the road for winter with an old Deore one to keep me going. I am prob gonna needa a new hub come summer. Does anyone have a NOS Hope blue rear non-disc, or know of...

Any of you guys interested in a GT ZR frame? I know of a red one, think its a GT 56cm thats just got a few scratches and a slightly dodgy cable guide on the downtube.

Hi all, Pic from this weekends ride at Saturdays Cheltenham Duathlon. I clocked up the 10,000th mile on my Marin during the event!

There is a 35 mile forest of dean enduro this weekend if any one is interested: http://www.sponsoredride.co.uk

Anyone noticed the new but kinda retro fluro Oakleys that the tour riders are wearing this year? Vino had some fluro yellow rims on today and I saw Millar with some kinda splat effect ones!

Anyone doing the Whyte Solstice Challenge, if like me you wont last the SSMM!! http://www.spambiking.co.uk/spam_wsc2007.htm Saying that I might not make the Solstice either as I fell off last night and grazed my knee and bruised my calf :(

Hi All, I want to trick my road bike out with some red anodized trick bits, got bottle cages and bolts. I want to get some anodized valve caps like I have on my mountain bike (though not the bullet type, not really into those). Any suggestions on any cool stuff you know of! So far I...

....just over three hours on my Marin, and a really nice poppy field too! [/url]

Right, about time I showed my road bike here too! Back in 1998 it was time to dabble in the dark art of the road. Cheltenham Cycles came up trumps from all the bikes I looked at with the LeMond Tourmalet. Triple chainring for my mtb used legs was a perfect start, and I really bought into...

Hi All, Tried to put this in the FAQ board but it seems to be locked to moderators to start a new topic. Has anyone had problems with PM's - I have had two emails to say that there is a new PM but they are'nt showing! Cheers,

Ok guys, help is needed! I was looking at some of the new carbon fibre hardtails from Scott, Giant etc, but following the hell of the north cotswolds I realised my Pine Mountain from 1996 is still going well and I love it to bits. The bike is here...

Right, have been meaning to put this up for ages but havent got round to it! My left hand LX crank arm cracked a while ago: http://www.geocities.com/cmccheek/DSC00453.JPG I have got an old STX one left over from a previous bike in use at the moment but really want to get a matched LX...

Hi All, Well here is my retro bike story..... as with all good stories it starts with a girl. Well, no, actually it starts with my 1995 Marin Palisades Trail. A much needed upgrade from my Raleigh Activator II that was a present for Xmas 95. All went well until 5,242 miles later in the...

Hi All! Anyone doing the Forest enduro next sunday? http://www.rdfcc.org.uk/ Im gonna have a go at the two lap option!
