Most are classic handmade lightweight bikes and frames, most are Reynolds 531. Come and take a...

    Forgive me fellow retrobikers for I have sinned...

    I was at a car boot sale yesterday and bought a bike-shaped object. An Indigo Vuelta AR2 to be precise, never heard of it, me neither. It was 20 quid but looked pretty much unused and came with a full Shimano Sora 3500 groupset, including shifters and crankset. It is already stripped out and the...

    Sold Rocky Mountain Fanatik

    I know nothing about these but I picked this up as a job lot with another RM (a Vertex hardtail) that I will be keeping so I am selling this as is. It would be a great basis for a project or just a source of some original Rocky Mountain parts. The frame looks in pretty good condition but I have...

    There is no hope for me!

    I was doing so well at lowering the bike numbers then last night I could not resist two Rocky Mountains for sale. Then today while I was out a crafty snipe that I'd set up a week ago succeeded as the only bid. I am so cross with myself but strangely happy at the same time. And I know you will...

    Falcon Carmargue

    Spent yesterday cleaning this up...most of the time polishing the stem that was a rough hewn dark grey metal of dubious origin but an hour or so, starting with the industrial sander on 60 grit and going through the 5000 wet and dry and a final autosol polish, revealed it itself as a quite...

    Sold 1993 Stumpjumper

    Please help with my bike reduction efforts! This 93 Stumpie is 16" so it's about 4" too small for me and my new rule is that any bike that is the wrong size for me has to go! Sorry Stumpie, you're just too, err stumpy, I guess. :D This has a mix of original parts and some newer XT but I think...
