Morning all, I am looking for a Dynatech with a small frame. Preferably rideable without too much faff and in good condition ( No stress marks under the silver paint on main tubes etc ) Preferably I'd like either a Sentinel ( the green one ) An Ogre ( Any of them ) A Diablo DX ( the Yellow one...

Hi folks, the Trekker I found fell through BUT a Traverse Elite popped up so I bought that instead - not as original as the Trekker was but it's still got a lot of original parts. Paint is good if a LITTLE faded in places - the main problem with the paint being on the top tube which the...

Hi folks, I am picking up a 93 Trekker on Saturday. It'll need something doing to the fork ( I may get new elastomers, I may replace the fork, either is possible ) but I am quite excited to find a nice small one. Thing is, is there a page missing from the Saracen 93 Catalogue scan? I went to...

Hi everyone, I am looking for a Dynatech - a small one, no bigger than 45cm. Not all THAT fussy about model as long as it's a bonded frame. Inexpensive would be nice, and an UGLI would be better. Happy to collect pretty much anywhere north of the midlands and south of Edinburgh. Or will pay...

Afternoon all. I can't ride any more so I am selling my last couple of bikes, one of which is this rather lovely Raleigh Touriste from circa 1990. It has a 531 frame, Exage gears, Dia Compe brakes and though not on the pic, a new Bonty saddle. Everything runs lovely and smooth, gears are...

Seriously, I've had an ad on FB marketplace for a month now, for a bike that needs work. The ad says in some considerable detail what that work is. So far every reply has been along the lines of: "Nuffink wrong wiv it?" Do the brakes work? ( Ad says no, obviously) Does it ride? ( Ad says no...

I hate doing this but needs must...anyone fancy a 99 B17 with some extras, like a drop post that doesn't need a shim? Well it's not factory spec any more. Pivots and linkages are all fine - no play. The shock and fork could probably do with replacing but they do work. Brakes are now all disks...

Hi folks, I don't have any 27.5 wheels lying around or I'd check myself, but has anyone tried putting them on a frame/fork designed for 26 inch wheels? In this case, a 99 Marin B17 BOAB

Hi folks, I am looking for a cheap rear wheel for my b17 - needs to be disk ready, otherwise as long as it's straight and takes a Shimano free hub I am not fussy. I'm based in Manchester. Thanks BOAB

Not mine, but look at it. I SAID LOOK AT IT!! https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/kona-fire-mountain-bike-circa-late-1980-s-retro/1438071204

Hi Folks, I am not going to be able to work on this one and get it to where it needs to be so if you want it, and can pick it up, it's yours. Its a 21 inch frame, and in good condition for it's age. It needs all the bearings sorting, a front shifter and a rear mech, but it's a gorgeous 531 Uncle...

Hi Folks, I am after a Suntour Mountech rear mech and left shifter. While we are here, if anyone has an 89 Specialized Hardrock in Blue I'd be interested in an exchange of currency for bicycle as well. BOAB.

Hi folks, despite my determination to avoid clogging up every spare centimetre of space in my small flat, I saw this and er...well, look, it followed me home. I am not knowlegable on early Raleighs, and I get that this needs some retconning to be in character ( the saddle and rear mech need to...

Hi folks, I need to make space so last in last out: Technium Instinct that came to me set up for some kind of mutant, but I have fixed that: 500lx mechs and chainset, composite alloy / steel bonded frame, control tech bar, zoom stem, and road tyres. It will be fitted with flat pedals. 70 quid...

Bloody Trowbridge! ( Too far for me but someone will like this: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/405377334861024/

Hi folks, I am looking for a Outer flanged axle nut for a Pace RC50 Hub - one of mine has straight up snapped in two. I have messaged Pace but I am fairly sure they won't have any left by now. If anyone has one, or an old hub I can strip for parts that they would be happy to sell, please feel...

Hi All. I picked this up on Tuesday having popped a very low ball offer in on Ebay and surprisingly no one else seemed to want it. I mean, that saddle is enough to put anyone off, to be fair and the stem and bars were though not equally horrible, still pretty horrible. The red tubes are...

I've, um, I've bought a road bike. It's a really nice Raleigh Touriste, I am thinking '90 because it has Exage kit on it, and Biopace chainrings. Nice 531 frame, good brakes by Dia-Compe and even decent tyres. It needs some work, but all the bearings - headset, BB, wheels and running smoothly...

Evening people, I am putting together a Marin B17 and want to use it for a bit of everything - kind of free ridy stuff I guess. What would be an acceptable wheel weight for that kind of thing do you think? If you can recommend some tyres as well that would help I think. Ta. BOAB.
