    Interpreting the world of chains....

    I'm just getting knee deep in a revamp of my '84 raleigh record ace, and it's only right and fair that she gets a nice new chain. It's got a 6 speed cassette on there, is there any problems to look out for when buying a chain? Is there an weight benefit to fitting a chain designed for a 9 or 10...

    Eddy Merckx Super prestige: any good?

    I've seen one of these going pretty cheap, and although I know the later Merckx bikes are top quality stuff, I've no idea on the older kit. Can't post a link as I'm too new, but do a search on ebay, it's a blueish bike in sheffield, any opinions?
