I've just acquired a rather tatty Pat Hanlon that I somewhat reluctantly took in part exchange for a 1950s bike I was selling. Reluctant only in the sense that I am trying to reduce my collection of 20-plus bikes! On closer examination, however, the Hanlon appears to have great potential. It is...

It all began when I came across a rather sad-looking Concorde Aquila frame at a cycle jumble at Ripley last year. It looked like it had seen a lot of life and come away from it second best, judging from the sorry state it was in. It had lost its forks (they went to the chromers and never came...

I have an old Sun frameset and would like to know the age and possibly the model, if anyone can help. The frame number is on the left side rear dropout and is BTV4807. The B is a smaller size than the TV. It looks 1950s or maybe 1960s, it bears a head badge with Sun Birmingham, and the lugs...

1950s Reynolds 531 double-butted Frame and Forks. 23in c-t. This is NOT an RO Harrison but it is still a very nice example of a hand-built 1950s frame. The maker is a mystery. The lugs are English made (probably by Haden) and of a style popular in the early to mid 1950s. I have a 1953 Ernie...

I recently acquired, quite by accident (in the sense that I wasn't looking for one), a Concorde Aquila frame and forks from a cycle jumble. It has all the usual Concorde markings on the head lugs, bottom bracket, brake bridge and fork tops, and it has the race number bracket, internal cable...

Cannondale M800 Beast of The East I'm thinning down my collection and this superb Cannondale is one that must go. It dates from about 1993 and the frame has been professionally refinished in pearl white by Bob Jacksons and barely used since. It is large size and would suit riders of about 5ft...

1956 Claud Butler with 5 speed hub gear Price £350 (without the saddle) One of the last of the original Claud Butlers built at the Clapham works in June 1956 just before the firm's closure. The Reynolds 531 frameset is in superb condition with elegant pencil seat stays and lovely...

1993 Cannondale Beast of the East Had this a couple of years but never use it (it's far too good to get dirty!) so can't really justify keeping it. Most of the equipment is period-correct and a good deal of it was acquired NOS. Since restoration it has covered minimal mileage in dry...

Got these bits I don't need and want to sell 'em to finance another project. Orange aluminium frame. 17in c-t (small size) I think this is an 02 from around '98. Usual paint marks and scratches but easy to repaint/touch up as it's satin black. No dents. Good b/b threads. In good condition...

1992 or 1993 CANNONDALE M800 Beast of the East. Frame only for sale Built up this 1992/3 Cannondale M800 about a year ago and have barely ridden it - it's far too good to get dirty! So, I've decided to split it and to sell the frame. Some of the components will become available at a later...

Not a huge turnout from this forum (just one RBer joined us - does no-one actually ride their bikes on this forum except for me and Monty Dog?) but here are some pictures to show what you were missing. We had nine riders and covered around 45 miles on a rural route of mainly single-track...
