Just bought this. What is it?

Just been to Cash Converters in Southmead and there's a Trek 830 Antelope for 24 pounds. Looks like it has an Exage 500 groupset, Tioga bar ends. It's undeniably tatty, but probably worth it for the parts?

Band on shifters. They're old, I think! What are they?

Anyone know anything about this? I picked it up recently planning to restore it for a bit of a hack, but having stripped it down, I'm not sure. It might be a bit small for me. More to the point, it seems really really nice. I might put it up for sale in the hope that someone will have it...

As above, WHY? :)

This is a new project which I've just taken on, inspired by a riding buddy who's just bought a Moulton. Going out on a ride with him coincided with this coming up for sale on the CTC forum. The seller and I had both been inspired by Sheldon's page on the Twenty -...

I think, since I'm not riding it very much, I'm going to sell my Randonneur. I bought it as my "one bike" but I think actually - and I say this carefully bearing in mind present company - it's actually a bit too retro for me. I have built it up as a sort of go-anywhere tourer, and it's fabulous...

I need a good fork. Budget sub £100. * 100mm minimum travel * V mounts * Beefy, ideally * QR dropouts * Min 190mm steerer. Can you help?

I'm bathing in a warm glow right now. Bottle of Scotch at my elbow, just finished my rebuild of my "new" karma Record Sprint, watching iPlayer safe in the knowledge that in almost exactly 50 minutes and 39 seconds, I'll be watching Wiggo cross the line for a historic victory. Surely this...

Having a huge clearout, and I have a load of stuff up on ebay. Mostly audio stuff - any budding guitarists or recording types might want to take a look. Next week is bike stuff. Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/dj.optix/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=

Well I've finally got round to putting all the bits off my bent Dawes onto my Holdsworth frame. Unfortunately the bolt that holds the downtube clamp for the shifters has rusted solid and I've had no luck undoing it. I could cut the bolt and bodge something but if someone has a spare then I'd...

I'm getting rid of a bunch of my DJ stuff, due to upgrades and downsizing (if it makes any sense to have those two things in the same sentence). Apologies for the lack of actual pictures but there's a baby asleep in the room next to where the gear is stored and I'm not risking waking her at the...

Through a combination of chronic GAS, shrewd purchasing and good old fashioned kleptomania, I have ended up with several mixing desks too many for my needs. So it's time to move some on. Prices don't include postage, you're welcome to book a courier and I'll box them up for you. Pick up from...

Looking for the one bike for Mrs Optix. I think an Africa would be just the ticket. Or, if you have something in a similar mould, feel free to post! It doesn't have to be pretty, or in good nick, as it's the frame I'm really after and I'd consider getting it refurbed/powdercoated. Ideally I'm...

Brown bread. :( I know it's been posted already but this is the correct forum format for deaths.

Ideally about 100mm with the usual drop. Cheap please? What have you got?
