    I made an album...

    ...with my mates. We've been doing this a while, this is actually our 4th. I see there's quite a few folk here who like their HiFi too. Although this record was entirely recorded and mixed in a suburban house in Cambridge I spent a lot of time getting it to sound good (collecting vintage mics...

    Modern(er) brake blocks on vintage bike?

    Is there any sort of consensus on this? I'm used to riding modern hydraulic disk brakes and the short test run I made of the new (to me) vintage 'Alan' was 'Crikey this feels like a death trap, I'm not sure I can stop!' So, as it's intended as a fun sunny day ride (rather than a concours...

    French thread pedal adaptor?

    Does such a thing exist? I see lots of 20mm - 9/16 type stuff (or 9/16 -9/16 extenders), but does anyone know where (or if) I can get something with male M14 / femle 9/16 so I can put some sensible pedals on my french thread cranks? (without having to tap them out etc)

There were a few things that didn't add up about it (or at least pointed to it having been referbished and restickered at some point) largely that it's clearly stamped 79 for...

    Simoncini - Peak '93 Colour Scheme

    Seeing as I got it out to put the new computer on it ready for tomorrow's ride out I thought I'd snap a short of my, slightly too large for me, Simoncini to share here. I don't know for sure that it's '93 but that's what this colour scheme says to me at least. I've seen pictures online...

    1965 Claud Butler - Gentle Restoration

    Just thought I'd share a few snaps of my first proper vintage bike restoration / service, a 1965 Claud Butler 'European' with (as far as I can tell completely original spec). The bike came to me having had one owner from new and obviously much loved. As far as I can tell the only parts that...

    Skinny Spoke Source?

    I'm working through service and rebuild on a 1965 Claud Butler European and as I'm a bit of a rookie at wheel building I've managed to overcook it a bit and break a spoke :-( Can anyone advise where I might find a suitable replacement? they're really thin; about 1.5mm at the thick (rim) end and...
