Does anyone know or can easily measure the maximum tyre width on a 1991 Raleigh Encounter? I've had it in storage for the past 4 years so I'm not expecting the existing tyres & tubes to be all that great and would like to put some fat slicks on there for the time being (don't judge me ok!) for...

My new Condor Heritage, bought for touring round Europe next year plus whatever other trips take my fancy. I wanted whatever tourer I bought to look as traditional as possible, hence choosing a steel framed Condor with the classic paint job, Brooks saddle & Carradice bags but when you take a...

This was fitted to my new tourer that I picked up a few days ago but I'm not a fan of the looks on an otherwise traditional looking bike and see no reason why I'd need a shadow mech for road use so I've replaced it with a conventional XT one instead. It's only been used on a couple of rides and...

....is a repeat and should have an original Stumpjumper from the early 80s and a Raleigh Burner at about 8:30pm. 8)

My 2003 Giant TCR Composite ONCE Team. Ok so probably a bit too modern to be on a forum for retro bikes but give it another 10 years.... Bought at the start of 2004 when I started to get back into cycling properly after being a bit of a casual cyclist for the past few years, only getting...

Has anyone used a glogg stainless steel bottle with the sports cap? http://www.glogg.co.uk/range.html How did you get on with it? It looks like a normal (plastic) cycling bottle system to me so without being able to squeeze the bottle how do they work? :?

Bought new in 1991 to replace a Raleigh Technium Killer Instinct that was stolen. :cry: Pretty much standard except for SPD pedals and slick tyres but I still have the original Deore LX pedals and tyres tucked away in a cupboard somewhere in case I want to restore it to original spec. Tyres...

My Raleigh Dyna-Tech 600 during a 10 mile TT a while back. I don't have any static pictures of it at the moment but once I've taken some I'll post them up. Completely standard except for the Scott Tri-bars, fancy bar tape, original Look Carbon pedals (anyone know the model?) and Campagnolo...

Either an original Selle Italia in black leather or a Vetta Gel as fitted to Raleigh Dyna-Tech road bikes c. 1990.

I remember Beatties (remember them?) in Reading having one of these for so long that by the time it went the colour was no longer gold it was "dust". http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0375153909

Hi All, my first post on here so I thought I'd best say a quick hello. I'm loving some of the older road bikes from the early 80s some of you have posted up and would love to get myself an 80s Gios in blue with chrome forks and period Campag Record bits at some point, I just need somewhere to...
