Hi, Is any of this stuff worth the cost of petrol / postage? I hate skipping stuff but will feel better if I've at least offered it out first! Trek 820 frame and forks, 18" frame with 68mm bottom bracket. Lots of scratches, some rust where there's been cable rub. No dents...

Hi, I normally hang out in the other place but I'm getting rid of the remnants of my one and only MTB. I suspect most of it will be skipped but does anyone want this headset for £10 including postage? Some pitting on the chrome and one of the (original!) cartridge bearings is a bit gritty...

I think the hubs on these wheels must be to French standards as the front hub is 96mm OLN and the rear is 122mm. I have no way to verify if the freewheel thread is French but I guess it's a fair assumption. The date codes show they were made in 1980 (rear) and 1981 (front). Both rims have very...

PLEASE NOTE: I've just discovered it's very expensive to send wheels / rims so these are all collection only from near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. I'm happy to split out the hubs if anybody wants just those. Having a clearout - first up are two front wheels with GP4 rims and Shimano 600...

Not really retro but worth a punt here before "you know where". In good condition but there are a couple of scratches on the jockey cage and the top knuckle. There's also the usual discolouration of the back cage plate that the cheaper Campag mechs suffer from. The jockey wheel bolt Allen...

1 x 46T Zicral newer type in longer lasting 7075 aluminium. Only ridden about 50 miles so nearly new but some marks on the reverse side. £15 inc. p+p to U.K. mainland. 1 x original 32T. This has been used more but still has quite a lot of miles left in it I reckon. £7 inc. p+p to U.K. mainland...

Hi, I have some forks for sale that originally came off a Raleigh 653 Race frame (catalogue number 8901). They were white and pink originally. I ran them on one of my bikes for a couple of years then stripped the paint off with a view to getting them sprayed to match the frame. In the meantime...

Price reductions on these Suntour mechs. 1. Superbe Pro front mech - band-on 28.6mm. This is NOS and has never been fitted but has some very slight storage marks. Date stamp GG makes it 1990. £40 posted in UK. 2. Cyclone 7000 rear mech - short cage. In very good condition apart from some...

Hi, I've got a pair of Record calipers for sale here which I think date from 1992-1994 but don't know exact year. Generally in good condition but the rear has quite a lot of scratches underneath from road debris. The front has a lot less. There are also some scratches on the pad holders and the...

I'm starting to thin out my bits and pieces that will never get used. This is a very nice set of Cyclone brake calipers and levers all in excellent condition. Original brake blocks with plenty of life left - it even looks like the original thread-lock on the main pivot bolts. The hoods are...

Price: £150 + £25 delivery in the UK. A full set of photos is here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/La93dm29tFPstMZ39 I've been riding this frame for a while now but have finally admitted defeat and accepted it's too big for me. Even with a shorter stem the long top tube doesn't suit me so it's time...

This "barn find" has just been delivered by a friend of mine and is in a right state. I think there's very little that can be rescued, at first glance the rear mech, gear levers and (non-matching) brake calipers are possibly usable. As for the rest I'll have to strip it all down and see...

I don't think I've ever done a Reader's Road Bikes thread for my Daccordi so here it is: I thought I'd bought the frame in 1986 but I remember the first race I did on it was an E.C.C.A. 12-hour time trial and looking back through my results sheets that was in August 1987 so it must have been...

Price reduction: T.A. Axix Titanium Bottom Bracket No issues with this beauty but there is some cosmetic damage to the left hand cup and the right hand lockring as shown. It's light at 160g and the cartridge bearings are still super smooth. British threaded aluminium cups and lockrings on both...

Campag Chorus dual-pivot brakes - with one small issue I think these are the 1994 model after a quick look through the old Campag spares catalogues. Nice brakes but I've discovered the bike they came on really needs a slightly deeper drop so I might as well pass them on. When I took them apart...

Hi, A friend of mine has sent me pics of a barn find bike which I'm sure is a Flying Scot dating from 1952 going by the frame number. It has long Campagnolo rear dropouts with holes for adjuster screws but I thought they came out after the 50s. Does anyone know when those dropouts first came to...

Hi, I've recently picked up a Condor frame (pics soon) and was wondering whether they were all made in-house during the late 80s and into the 90s or outsourced? The frame is 130mm spacing so that is what makes me think it's that sort of age. Under the bottom bracket there's the usual frame...

Carlton Carrera - RetroMod - Veloce 10 speed groupset - Price £650 collected I'm selling my RetroMod Carlton Carrera and thought I'd offer it to my RetroBike brothers and sisters first before it goes on eBay. It's obviously not one for the purist RetroBiker but if someone on here wants it...

I haven't bought many old wheels but honestly I'm not sure I'll bother anymore. My latest purchase was Mavic Open 4CD on Campag Record Large Flange hubs with new-looking stainless spokes. They even had tyres and tubes which looked in good nick. The rim sidewalls were virtually untouched and the...
