Got hold of a couple of old 95-2000 vintage Rockshox Deluxe Shocks. I need some springs for them though. Either a 650x1.50 or 750x1.50 (prefer the 650 really). Anyone got any? They seem to measure 90mm x 46mm

My kids have all now out grown the retro bike i built for them so I've used the 1x transmission on one of the new bikes so the rest of the parts are up for sale . 1993 kona hahanna frame in xs 14". Braze on to convert to v brakes and powder coated purple. Supplied with nice cane creek c2...

As per title. Assumed they were only ever 6s and replaced in 90 with 300/400 stis in 7s, but a post from Facebook has raised this with this odd picture https://images.app.goo.gl/3mg468RMttPBG9rk6 Along with someone swearing blind they have both groups in 7s but showing a picture of a bitsa bike.

Got my new bike the other day and for the first time i've got a bike with SRAM parts. The Brakes are Level T (which feel OK and have enough power for XC so I'm happy) and the transmission is NX. Generally it's good but the when the level T levers are set in the correct position the shifter...

Not strictly retro but will apply on both old and new. Anyway I purchased some mavic crossride wheels (bladed spoke models) and I’ve had to replace several spokes as they were ceased into the nipples and snapped when I tried to true it. To stop them ceasing and rusting up I used a bit of copper...

Having a mooch about on the web yesterday and I'd previously looked for these but never found them when I came across a site with a vast resource of 80's and 90's Raleigh brochures including the missing 1990 Lightweights Brochure, which I believe is the last year that Nottingham hand brazed the...

Decided to take a slightly different direction on the build so I am looking to move these on. They are missing the SL decal but from the specs I can decipher that they are (due to the rebound adjust, lockout and alloy steerer). Specs: 2004 Rockshox Psylo U-turn coil spring - oil damped...

Just recently purchased a Voodoo Canzo 2010 frame from member madmax. It's a nice 130mm travel frame. I'm trying to match it with forks and having never built a full sus (I bought my Kona Dwag built) I want to make sure I match the forks to the frame correctly. I have a nice set of Manitou...

I had a puncture last night in the gloop and dark changing it was no fun. So I'm thinking of going tubeless on my 2 modern bikes (possibly even the CB Anteaus), using the ghetto Gorilla tape method. I know my tyres on the Kona Dawg are Tubeless ready as they are marked this way and so are the...

I wanted to try a full bouncer and had been eyeing up the Calibre Bossnut Evo after the great reviews and a firend riding the earlier Beastnut but another bike and 1k purchase price were off putting especially as I'd want to add a dropper and replaced the forks. So i started thinking that how...

I've pretty much ridden my Cube LTD Race 29er exclusively for about 18 months (only rarely getting out on the retro occasionally when it's been dry). The only thing it struggled with was trail riding (roots, rocks and drops) and singletrack where it just feel sketchy and not very nimble, which...

I have a bunch of small parts that I will no longer need having slimmed down my Retro fleet to just 2 bikes. 1. USE Seatpost clamp parts - All good no cracks (unlike the post which was binned) - £10 posted 2. Exage Lever hoods and adjusters - £6 posted 3. USE Seatpost Shim 1 (This is hard to...

I popped into my LBS the today (Berkshire Cycles in Crowthorne) as I'm on the lookout for a FS Trail bike when I get back from holiday and having only bought 1 bike from elsewhere in my life (Halfords for a Cycle to work bike and it was a crap experience) I usually visit them to see what they...

Can't believe I'm doing this but I have my CB and Raleigh for Retro's and I'm mostly riding my 29'er these days. I'm splitting my 1990 Muddyfox Prestige Comp. Classic year from MF and this is the second to Top Steel bike, it gives a great ride and is typical quality steel. Frame, Forks...

As it just doesn't get used I am selling my Peugeot Altus 531 from 1990/91. It has the full hand brazed 531 Frame and fork and is in great condition for the year with no rust but it has been touched up with nail polish in places. 55cm C-C with is 21.5", it's probably measured C-T which makes...

Don't usually get too many issues buying or selling but there's something upcoming. I sold a flightcase at the beginning of Jan and because of the bulk I sent it via UPS drop shop / parcel locker service (I also sent a large power amp at the same time). They were both successfully delivered to...

After reading the thread about tandems and thinking that next time I ride the way of the roses with the wife it might be the way to go I had a look and sure enough here's a GT: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/90s-GT-Quatr ... u#shpCntId Lower spec than the DX but looks mostly original bar a flexstem...

Wife has a new cube 29er so we decided to split her GT Bravado so here goes: 1998 GT bravado Frame in Reynolds 631 Cromoly, small size 14.5 C-C nice light frame and in decent condition. Some paint loss (expected for a 19 year old frame) but no dings or dents. Comes with matching GT seatpost...

Noticed my saddle was right back on the rails last night so moved it forwards again. Did it up tight and ride into work this morning (comfortable again). Tonight I see it's moved back again. Any tips to get it to stay put? Saddle in question is a rolls the Seatpin a standard no name alloy micro...

This question has been asked before with some variations but does quite cover what I want to know. Having been out on my Altus 531, I like the bike but the suicide shifters are hindering me quite a bit to the point where I wait until I have to shift and then block shift 3 cogs so I don't have to...
