I’m going to try to make this my last purchase of a complete bike this year 😂 I think it’s a 1994 model, hard to track down info on these. I thought this was worth a bid and won it, either got it cheap or there’s no love for some Moser’s. This Moser has Oria chromoly tubing, Veloce 9 speed...

My Shimano Crane rear derailleur is ready for the rebuild. It was bought on good old eBay many months ago for cheap. It was filthy but cleaned up nicely enough for me. I had a silver donor to use all of the hardware, cage and jockey wheels from, I wanted to add these to the black body to very...

I bought this Panasonic PR 3000 with a stuck seat post back in May. It has quite a few marks, a dent in the top tube where the bars have hit, an older unoriginal front wheel, I still think it’s quite cool. It is just another tidy up project that I didn’t need but wanted to do. It’s been...

If only I had room 🤣

There’s a 90’s Giant Cadex I’ve spotted. Fully Ultegra equipped, Mavic rims, with some paint damage on the wishbone section and a few other scuffs here and there. What do you think is a fair price for this? Cheers

Hello all, Can anyone shine some light on Tecnisport as a frame set or bike manufacturer? I’ve seen a mid to late 80’s 531c frame set for sale that I like the look of. I’ve done the usual searches and can only find a recent for sale post and an image or two. Does anybody know where they were...

I like the look of this, I’ve resisted so far because I don’t know enough about Norris’ frames. I know he was highly regarded as a frame builder. The 631 decal if correct dates it to1997 or later, I don’t know when he stopped building frames, if he ever used 631, if this is one of his designs...

I bought a nice fluted Sugino seat post off of Mark, great price too. Rapid dispatch, well packed, great comms and a really nice bloke to deal with. I would not hesitate to deal with Mark again. Trustworthy and highly recommended 👍🏼 Many thanks.

Hi all, It’s a long shot but does anybody know the UK ebay seller that had this little Japanese made Bianchi listed about 3 weeks ago? It was a 48cm or 49cm or maybe smaller frame from memory. The bike did not sell and it was not relisted. Were you watching the bike and still have it in your...

Yesterday, in the wind and rain my sister and I collected her new bike, a 1990 Koga Miyata Prologue with a small 50cm frame finished in stunning purple and white paint. The frame has a 1989 serial number and some components are dated 1989 too, I believe the colour scheme was from 1990. Shimano...

GIGFY might have some competition when it comes to collecting purple bikes, I’ve gone and bought another one. I’ve just purchased a 70’s Carlton Criterium and will collect it tomorrow. The Carlton catalogue states the colour is mauve! It looks quite tidy and the seller thinks it’s mostly...

This has got to stop! I have to make room for another bike🤣 Just bought a clean 105 equipped bike listed as a Raleigh Reynolds Optima. 1994 was mentioned in the listing. You guys probably saw it on eBay, it’s purple. It has the Reynolds Optima seat tube decal and the Raleigh down tube decals...

I’m looking for just one please, the cleaner the better. I’m hoping somebody has a spare knocking about doing nothing. This will help me out with the RRA I’ve just bought. Thanks for looking

I have no need for another bike, no room for another bike but I’ve gone and bought another bloody bike 🤣 A late night evilbay browsing session resulted in me putting an offer in on a bike listed as a 1979 RRA. The listing pics were not the best, quite low res and bad lighting, I asked no...

I just bought some Stronglight crank caps for a little project I have on the go. Feel free to add yours and keep the thread going. Anything from bar end plugs to complete bikes. Low end to make you drool kinda stuff.

This old family photo was unearthed a while back. Mum and dad’s chosen mode of transport in the early 70’s. That’s my sister in the sidecar!

I bought this for the wife yesterday, for short rides and a bit of fun. Japanese made with decent enough components. To be collected next Tuesday. I doubt if she’ll need that Megarange style set up, I get the benefit but it looks odd to me, so I might swap that out for a standard freewheel and...

I gave Matthew F’s fantastic Gianni Motta karma a little time this morning. After a quick wipe over I fitted a new chain, 2 used tyres along with 2 new inner tubes, some Atom 600 pedals I had laying around and a Dawes saddle which was not being used. The seat post was a bit stubborn but I got it...

Another decent ride on the carrera today with a pit stop at mum and dads. I’ve fitted a Rolls saddle which seems to be quite comfy for my old backside. A pair of bargain Vittoria Rubino Pro IV G2.0 Folding Tyres (£15 a piece from Banana Industries) have also been fitted. They ride well, seem...

I have just bought a bundle of nos tyres, mainly for the 2 purple Vredestein Fortezza TriComp included. They look ok in the listing pics but it was a late night purchase and a gamble. Do any of you road guys have any tips for treatments to add a bit of life into the tyres before fitting? I know...
