Hi all, I'm moving houses soon and I came across this box with some random old Campagnolo components that I apparently own somehow without any recollection. Could you help me identify what we're looking at? Pictures are clickable for more detail. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Rear...

Good afternoon gentlemen (and ladies?), This frame has been with me for a few years but ultimately hasn't seen much use - prefer to take out my Pulse Comp as it feels less 'special' so I'm not afraid to get rough with it. It's not NOS however so keep that in mind. I understand no one's buying...

While trying to fit a pair of HS33s to a new fork I found out that the silver bracket thingy that's supposed to sit on the inside of the fork leg is in the wrong angle and prevents the whole unit from being fitted properly. How do I adjust this thing, or can I even remove it alltogether? (some...

So I picked up this frameset the other day. I was just surfing the local classifieds website not really looking for something specific (as you do) and I stumbled upon this Klein Pulse Comp frameset. I can't afford to build a bike up from scratch right now and a Pulse Comp certainly isn't the...

Just picked up this bike: I've always kind of wanted a Raleigh in Team attire, and I could get this for pretty cheap so I went for it. My understanding is it's not a particularly high end model this one, and I wasn't sure of what to do with it until I saw the state the bike was in...

Right, a while ago I was just screwing around with an old wheel that I wasn't going to use anymore. I took it apart, painted the rim and spokes and when it was time to put it back together I didn't feel like lacing it up the way it was before. I had already built a couple of wheels before but it...

I just came across these ridiculous things: They are gloves with a heating element that gets its power from the USB port of a computer. Did make me think of how nice it would be to have heated gloves for winter riding though. Trouble is, my bike doesn't have a USB port. And even if it...

Right, I've been thinking about doing a single speed. The thing that's been holding me back is that I don't exactly live in the middle of a mountain range and the nearest bit of trail is a 30 minute ride away from my house, which I don't really fancy doing on an ultra spinny bike. Today I've...

Right, I'm trying to focus my attention on finally building up my Vitus 992 frame I've had for over a year now. I know the frame is from a time when black tyres were predominant over the brown walled ones, but the main triangle on my frame is anodised blue and I think a brown saddle, bar tape...

You may already be able to guess what I'm goint to ask just by reading the topic title :D I'm thinking of doing a single speed project. Some Cadex mountainbikes come with bolted on dropouts, but I don't know whether they're also bonded. My idea was to replace the existing dropouts with rear...

Ok I'm really getting frustrated with this. A couple of months ago I bought myself a Klein. I was well chuffed with it and I gradually changed some of the modernish components to retro ones. Then one day I got my hands on a pair of almost new biscuit colour Panaracer Magics. They turned up in...

I was looking into getting a Saxo outfit, mainly because Fabian Cancellara sports one of those and I kind of admire him a bit (can't really call myself a fan because it's not like I know everything there is to know about him but I can really enjoy watching the guy ride a tt for example) Now...

A couple of days ago I proposed the idea of buying a second hand 4 seater pedalo and sail it across the English Channel to a couple of mates. I've been playing with the thought for some time and I think it should be perfectly doable, seeing as it's only 21 miles and a 70 year old bloke could...

Yesterday evening while I was walking home, I discovered a discarded roadbike next to a dumpster. When I walked up to it I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a Gazelle Champion Mondial, a quality Dutch roadbike made with Reynolds 531 tubes. It looked pretty small, but I took it home and...

Spotted this wonderfully quirky bike the other day, had to take some time to appreciate it and to take these pictures despite some chavs asking what I was doing and laughing at my honest answer because they're ignorant.

With the vacation season finally here I'm looking for an enormous bag to transport a complete bike. Preferably the frame with the wheels taken off in the middle and the wheels on either side. Does such a thing exist? Or should I buy some fabric and put my mother to work? :lol: Anyone had their...

Here is my latest acquisition, The seller told me it's a Rascal but I'm not 100% positive, could also be a Fervor as fas as I know so if you know your Kleins please shed some light!) Bought it off a friendly bloke who updated the bike with modern components. I'm happy with the Marzocchi forks...

I'm currently trying to resist the urge to build a bike inspired by the godfathers of all mountainbikes, let's see if you can persuade me to take the plunge! Show us your home built klunkers!

My dad has a pretty nice Cannondale (don't know the model) that he bought many moons ago. He plans to start using it again and he asked me to get it in working order for him. Now the trouble is that the threads on the clamp of the right shifter pod has stripped and needs to be replaced. The...

Went to an other city for non bike related business today, but decided to walk in when I passed a bike shop there. This is what I found in the back: Two sets of Onza Ules, two sets of Onza Porcipaws and a purple ano handlebar, which will come in handy because I'm planning to treat my...
