Hello - selling my Coventry Eagle - it was given to me as a dark purple pretty scruffy thing and I've had it blasted and resprayed in a nice leaf green.new decals etc. It's got a lot of nice original parts on it. Happy to give more details if someone is interested. Original Simplex running gear...

Hello - I've a pair of Mavic CPX 12 700 rims. The original tyres that are on them are from a 1998 spec and are 700x25 but I wanted to get a pair of Panaracer 700x30 GravelKings - I don't think the frame will allow much wider tyres at the rear but will these Mavic rims be ok to run 700x30 just to...

I've had two sets of brand new tyres lately where the actual rubber seems to have a fault in the pattern which makes you think the wheel is buckled but it's the actual tyre tread seems like to have a dodgy pattern in it. I thought it would ride out after the tyres had been on a bit but it...

Hi - I'm after a rim that would suit a front Sturmey Archer Dyno hub (1948) so I can build up with new spokes - the rim it's on is so corroded it's no worth keeping but the hub is lovely. Thanks 👍

Hello - I'm just after some help with an ID on this project I'm busy working on. It was unnamed with Sturmey Archer Dyno hubs dated 1948 and 1951 and then I found a HURCULES MADE IN ENNGLAND stamped on the B/B after cleaning garage grease from it for ages. Did Hurcules do bikes with Dyno hubs or...

22 handle bars with a good rise bit of weathering but good - just the cost of a long box and postage will be fine if anyone needs these

Hello - I've decided to take this to a level of sorts and move it on as I set myself a challenge not to keep acquiring bikes. It's an original MF pathfinder with factory black forks I believe. Large frame all original. I have the original levers without hoods. Brakes have been changed to Shimano...

Hanging on a garage wall for 19 years. I picked this up. It's a lovely bike mind. I think everything bar the back tyre was original. 20 years of non movement to sort out but just going to try and keep it as is as much as I can and get it on the road again.

Hello I am putting a muddy fox pathfinder back together and it has suntour express shifters on it. I am a fan of friction thumb shifters so wondered what would be a good black suntour thumb shifter to put on this bike 1990 version. Thanks 👍

I'm trying to find a pair of rubber brake hoods as the ones on these brakes have perished. Are they difficult to get a hold of or are there other options ?? Thanks 👍

A couple things I was thinking today. How long does it take people to make a bike or a build part of the ride. Funny one. And then how long have you spent just staring at a bike with a (drink) and not even doing anything but stare 🫣 😂 - anyway....

I have these for sale. I can't get away with riding them. Look nice on a show bike. £40 plus postage for the pair of pedals toe clips and straps.

Hello Would there have been any reason MF would have produced a pathfinder in 1990 in neon blue but with black forks. I've acquired one that is completely original but has black forks. Had one owner and no signs the forks are after market additions. The catalogue version. Had neon blue forks...

Hello I've just replaced a pair of panaracer passela tyres as I've switched to a 27 x 1-1/4 for a little more width. I have this pair which have only done about 20 to 30 miles. £30 plus postage if anyone's interested.

Hello - if a bicycle still has the remains of a seatpost within the tube but has been sawn off at the seat clamp is that a waste of time ? Spotted a nice bike but pics look like the seatpost is still in the tube with nothing to grasp. Sliding closer to an e-bike and not dealing with these...

Hello - I wondered if there was Forum interest in creating the Retro Bike Bible - doesn't have to have a religious tag. But. With analogue experiences getting popular and given the era of the bikes I wondered if members would be interested in contributing to a coffee table style book of this...

Read loads of thoughtful posts and threads lately. If you had to get rid of everything and start the whole process again (couldn't keep a brake cable) all acquiring, building and riding is gone. Empty garage, shed, museum... what would we do?

Hello - I acquired a Reynolds steel frame which was unbranded and around the late 70 early 80s decided to build it up into a Nod to Dave Yates as I'm from Tyneside. It will be a bit of a classic Vs modern but it's a lovely frame to ride. It's been stripped and resprayed and Ive replaced pretty...
