    Wanted: Pub Bike, 24"-25", £100ish

    Hello, I am after a steel pub/town/shopping bike - either a sensible road bike (i.e. with 32c+ tyres and mudguards) or a large gents town bike (no SA hubs or rod brakes though please!). It will in all likelihood perennially live in the garage, and it's going to get knocked around in the stands...

    Pub bike, large, posted or Colchester/B'mouth

    Next week I'm coming back to the UK after 4 years working in NZ. I need a cheap pub bike pretty much pronto. I've got a pretty big list of demands as you can see :shock: rather than the usual ebay offerings has anyone on here got something? Fat tyres and mudguards are good, singlespeed...

    Specialized Hardrock Ultra Antipodean Adventurer

    So I suppose this is how it started - a 100-mile overnighter along the Clutha River in New Zealand. I already have an Inbred 29er for bikepacking/XC duties but my partner had to borrow that rather lovely and otherwise barely-used Yeti ARC she's riding in the picture, so I've decided to build up...

    Gumwall/Skinwall mtb tyres in New Zealand

    Anyone know what's available? Onza ones are too fat for my bike - I need 1.9s. Charge Splashback seems to be out of production and getting some shipped from the UK is prohibitively expensive (annoyingly I had a set of these and sold them before I moved out here). The only secondhand ones I...

    1990ish Haro Impulse Comp e-stay restoration NZ

    It hasn't taken long for the old retro bikes to start piling up in my new place in New Zealand. This old Haro is in a bit of a state, but luckily I a) volunteer in a community bike workshop and b) work for a MTB distributor/retailer, so I shouldn't run into any problems with components or...

    Wanted: pair of slick tyres

    Hello. I went and sold my road bike and then decided to do an overnighter next weekend. Does anyone have a pair of 26" slicks I can fit on my mountain bike? I live in Essex so postage will probably be required. Do PM me as this thread is likely to become lost.

    Gazelle Champion Mondial AB - sensible road bike

    This has been my main bike for a couple of years. Relatively short top-tube (64x58) which combined with the Technomic stem gives an incredibly comfortable riding position. With a bit of fettling I've managed to squeeze 28c tyres and SKS full mudguards on using P-Clips (shame it didn't come with...

    Muddy Fox Explorer - built to explore!

    Here we go. Off to New Zealand for a few years in the spring and I'm planning to do some cyclo-camping and off road touring (as well as general non-serious MTBing) - but being a student means I've got bugger all money (or more correctly, I spent all my money on my Gazelle). So, saw this...

    Any Holdsworth experts?

    Any Holdsworth experts? I'm interested in this Mistral frame. Closeup on this advert: http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/vinta ... tem-full-3 Price is too high, obviously, but I'll see where I can go with that. My issue is - is it really a Mistral? I've never seen one that doesn't...
