(I'll post a photo as soon as I can get into a small enough size) I've just acquired a Raleigh Rapide in pearlescent white. Probably 1980's vintage. The bike is in good original condition with campag. gears etc. Unfortunately with an approx 60.5 cm frame its a shade too big for me so it will be...

I know this is a big ask but could anyone do me a big big favour please? I bought a Suzuki rear bumper from e-Bay ( item number 320717655790 if you need an idea of size - the metal bit weighs about 10kgs). Unfortunately its collect only so here is the cheeky bit.. would anyone be...

It's a 1995 large frame 21" to top of seat post 19.5 c to c Tange 1000 cromo plain tubes.Colour is Metallic silver and reddish maroon. I've had it since new and its probably covered less than 300 miles. There are a few scratches to the top tube and decals here are crazed, forks are probably the...

Got this from Cyfa2809 who got it from manitou916. Its 17" ctoT and boasts a sticker quoting the GT triple triangle Its not the lightest frame in the world but seems a shame to bin it. Are you the one to finish it? unfortunately its really "collect only" but could deliver to Exeter/Plymouth...

I was given this last year and was told by the owner he'd had it for 40 years. He did mention the model but I've forgotten what is is, It has been rattle canned in a dirty maroon red colour but its complete and working but probably needs tyres which are a bit perished. Front forks are chromed...

(also posted in post 98 section as request isn't necessarily age related) Hi folks, Found a Barracuda Tonga at my local recycling centre for my daughter. In excellent condition 'cept for the forks which are seized, hence the request. She doesn't mountain bike as such so I don't need anything...

Hi folks, Found a Barracuda Tonga at my local recycling centre for my daughter. In excellent condition 'cept for the forks which are seized, hence the request. She doesn't mountain bike as such so I don't need anything fancy, just functional and cheap. Looking for AHead with a 210 steerer...

I have a complete bike that needs to be 'posted out'. Can anyone recommend a good courier please? Doesn't have to have fantastic insurance cover as the bike isn't worth a great deal. How broken down does the bike need to be ? cheers Paul

Just testing the water here, if there is any interest I'll post a picture tomorrow. Looking for £30. Its a Brilliant red Palomar so comes with the usual 'quality' Palomar kit. Its complete and rideable but needs new brake blocks and general adjustment(& cleaning). Frame has numerous scrapes but...

Apologies if this method has been posted before but here goes, its just a variation on a theme. All I will say is it worked for me. It strikes me that if you hold the bike and try to twist the post by whatever means you are not applying the force effectively, you end up 'fighting' the bike...

Hi, visited my recycling centre yesterday and discovered the above. Its complete and in reasonable condition but the groupset has been downgraded recently. The seat is stamped Dec 92 so would assume its 93 vintage. Can anyone tell me what the spec should be please? The biggest problem is...

PCS9 v PCS10 which is best?, or more importantly is the extra cost of the 10 worth it? any thoughts? cheers, Paul

Anyone out there got one ? I've almost given up trying to find a good complete set for my M550 cranks. Regards, Paul

Frame is 21" to top of seat tube and Top tube is 22.5 inches. If you look at the catalogue in the archives its the same colour scheme. It comes complete with headset and bottom bracket and is fairly scratched but dent free. Unfortunately its collect only because I'm in the middle of a house...

As it says above I'm looking for a set of chain rings to suit an LX M550 crankset. Must be as near as NOS as possible and not Biopace ( happy to swap a biopace set in VGC if anyone needs any) Cheers, Paul

I know ultimately you get what you pay for but it isn't something I'll be using everyday. I want something with a clamp as opposed to a hanger but hopefully not too expensive. I did consider just buying a clamp and welding up the frame myself but having checked the Park tools website buying a...

Trying to contact Rojo to arrange an unexpected collection opportunity. Does anyone have a contact number they can PM to me? Or failing that can anyone point him in the direction of the pm I sent earlier today. regards, Paul

I was just going to throw this in the recycling skip but thought I'd ask if anyone wants it first. Its a 50cm frame (carbolite 503c) in the oysterish white colour with all decals but the frame has lots of rusty scratches ( lots!!). Bottom bracket is present but needs strip and re-grease. Ive...

Am I correct in thinking that the mech needs to be 28.6? The seat post is (from memory) 26.4. regards, Paul

I'm restoring a 1991 Kona Lava Dome and still need to find a period/period style saddle. Has anyone got anything suitable? regards, Paul
