Planning building up my newly repaired Stratton/ Roberts. But ive run out of money... I live in hilly country and im not exactly race fit... im light and like to spin the cranks. I have the following I'd like to combine into something with plenty low gearing. 46-11 is as fast as I'll ever bother...

I have wheels, casette and ergos, are there any hacks for using anything other than an 8 speed campag mechs? I'd prefer something med cage.

Rear dropouts at 130 for 8 speed. Id prefer sealed jobbie. Anyone any experience. I THINK I had a 118mm one on previously which was a little short.

Anyone tried these https://www.ebay.ie/itm/NOS-Brake-HOODS-Light-Natural-Rubber-Shimano-BL-6200-MA-100-600EX-Mafac-Weinmann-/144069368930?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Picture looks really nice but double the price of dia compe. I have a pair of cane...

Im sure I actually DID id this when I got it years ago but err I forgot what it is. Ivaguely remember something old and French... Thinking of replacing the seat tube as it's cracked or selling it as is. Lovely smooth lugless and fancy lugs on the head tube. It came to me with no paint and I...

Interested in 62-63 cm ctt seat tube frame. Mid 80s ideal. 531sl/ professional/ 753 or similar. More interested in hand builders, Rourke, Roberts, aende, or whatever. Race type frame but I'll consider whatever, I think im giving up on this if anyone wants to take it on...

Ive been tinkering with my flying gate to get comfortable. Sr fluted seatpost and b17 back as far as possible. 80mm sr stem high as possible Vintage gb randonneur bars Mafac levers set quite high. So this is as good as I've got so far. I feel like I have too much weight on my hands and I'm...

3 suntour ratchet shifters, one branded Raleigh, one missing parts but band on is good, rebuild would give one good condition, one scruffy and spare bits. 20 quid for all three? Six speed block, looks in good condition, see pictures. Tenner? Vintage look pedals. Pp65 i think, first generation...

Dunno why everything I own doesn't quite match but I'm looking for a 170mm non drive side arm. Stripped pedal threads no problem, I thought I was sorted with a stripped one, got the thread insert and everything until I realised it was only shorter than the drive side arm... ...165 lonely drive...

Got this maybe ten years ago and rode it as is with band on shifters and a mishmash of mostly golden arrow. I loved riding it and was pretty rough looking so never got stolen... What would you do with it. I'd love to have it repaired and resprayed but im thinking with all the chrome I could...

Smallish carradice or similar preferred, anything considered, Thanks.

In fair condition as pictured. Pretty sure I never used it, been in the box for years. Gave it a quick clean. As pictured, possibly missing the cable adjuster but the hole isn't threaded. It's a mark one I think please correct me otherwise. Looking for £160 or whatever in euro. I'm in Ireland...

Before I look at other options just checking no one has one of these?

Thanks to everyone who helped me acquire this lovely gate, I threw a few parts on it yesterday and rode it up the lane, felt lovely and a good fit for me.

Wish I could afford this beauty! https://www.donedeal.ie/bicycles-for-sale/chas-roberts-tandem-racing-bike/28679634

Hi all, My Roberts has the hanger sawn off. I have one of those hangers which bolt through the dropout slot but it limits your ability to put the wheel right back into the dropout which I need to do to mount any tyre bigger than 23c. Im hoping to get this frame resprayed and refurbished but...

I've ridden these for a while and like them. Are they discontinued or renamed? Is there a better wet weather tan wall tyre? Running 700x28 which I like well enough, will I get better braking/ less skidding with a wider tyre? Riding hilly country single lane roads with loads of holes, hills and...

Just realised I have a non matching set of cranks I was about to fit. Anyone want my later one which doesn't need the special extractor tool and anyone have a matching one for me? I also have a vintage TA tool which I'd be interested in swapping for a stronglight tool.
