  1. Captain Stupido

    Karma Kona Lana'i 14" (small) frame, seatpost, Easton bars, wheels & tyres £25 posted / karma collected.

    Was being ridden by both the Stupido Jr.s but they've now sized up so these are the bits I no longer need following a stripdown. Frame has marks and scratches a plenty but is sound and straight. Easton monkey bars ditto. Wheels and tyres show signs of wear and age but were being ridden...

    Wanted Rigid 19" 90s MTB

    I've got a hankering for a sprightly retro. Condition unimportant but ideally a full bike in rideable condition. 19" C-T. Maybe frame and forks if it's something I really like. The cheaper the better, but not a heavy low-end lump - it's got to be a willing climber. Either close to me in Devon or...

    Sold 2011 Orange G3 17" £175 South Devon or will post

    Classic hardtail in very nice condition, and mostly original spec. Mechanically it wants for nothing, cosmetically it's really nice with only very minor marks. I've owned this for almost 10 years, but during that time it's hardly been ridden. I bought it to try to get my wife out on the trails...

    Sorted Eldridge Grade? Zolatone Marin, 17" c-t or what have you?

    Been doing quite a few weekend rides with junior stupido the eldest. She's now 13 (!) and big enough that mum's 17" c-t Orange G3 fits her fairly well. It's not the ideal bike for her needs though, we're mainly doing traffic free paths which are often gravelly and wet but don't require...

    Karma Box of Karma

    So far 10kg worth (I may add a few bits to the box - we'll see) of bits that I'll never use, pay postage and it's all yours. I won't split but it would be cool if the recipient passes on any bits they don't need rather than binning them.

    For Sale Clear out! From £100 - 1992 British Eagle Summit, 1993 Dawes Synthesis, 1998 Orange Clockwork

    The one in / one out rule at Stupido towers means I have to sell at least one bike. I've also got a bike box taking up space so happy to post (£33.99 via Paisley Freight) or you can collect from me in South Devon. First up is a British Eagle Summit in single speed flavour. This is a quality...

    Sorted Lugged Raleigh MTB 21" or other middle of the road British retrobike

    Or a Dawes, or perhaps a British Eagle. Even a Townsend. Something in lugged steel, ideally Reynolds, 501 is fine. K2 would be nice. Thinking something like a Mirage, Yukon, or a Peak. Late 80s / Early 90s... Ideally in rideable condition, at least sound and worthy of further TLC, cosmetics...

    Fork axle-crown mismatch, Clockworks and a MF courier mega

    At some point I got carried away buying forks which with hindsight are probably unsuitable for what I had in mind. I've got a couple of 98 clockworks which I believe were designed for 440mm a-c forks. I could be wrong, mind. I picked up a nice pair of Maguras (470 a-c) and some rigid forks sold...

    [RooX]. crankset - what length BB?

    I thought I had the right BB for this... but no. Somehow the one I had stashed is for a 73mm shell (I needed 68mm), and a fair bit too long wih a 122mm axle. Anyone know the recommended BB length for these cranks?

    For Sale Lovely freshly hand built 26" wheels - DX / XT hubs

    Never ridden, only trial mounted on a few in-progress builds. I'll probably regret selling these but I've got way too much bike stuff not seeing any use so it's time for a clear-out. I built these around a very good (rebuilt with new bearings) pair of used hubs. The front is an earlyish XT (I...

    one for the eagle eyed experts

    Doesn't look high end but for £50 possibly worth it for the wheels and seatpost... Anyone reckon they know what this is? https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/mens-bike/1430755346

    King Kikapu, Leeds, would be tempted if closer!

    I love the styling of these and it would fill a niche in the fleet...haven't ridden one though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115380917933 Anyone want to talk me into / out of it and or willing / able to pick it up and post it to me? ;)

    Withdrawn For Sale - Crivit Telescopic Bike Rack

    For two bikes. Bought on impulse in Lidl and never mounted or used. It's a good thing, but it's not going to work for me. Hoping to get what I paid (£29.99) plus postage at cost (or collect from Teignmouth, South Devon). As you can see I still have the original box so it should arrive safely.

    Withdrawn 1993 Giant Cadex CFM-2 19" - £150 inc. UK postage

    I've decided it's time to let go of the Cadex. It's a cracking bike, fast, light and agile, and as a first taste of retro carbon was a real eye opener for me. Unfortunately it's just a bit too racy for my purposes (probably a bit small, too) and isn't getting ridden much. Frame measures 19"...

    Sold Kona 1993 Lava Dome Frame/Fork £50 posted or £20 collected (S. Devon)

    Some classic steel for y'all. Seat tube 16" C-T, Top tube 21" C-C Includes Kona seatpost clamp (qr) and brand new headset. Wheels not included. Forks aren't original but whatever they are they're quite nice rigid steel forks. It's had a repaint at some point, there are some chips/marks in...

    Freehub body bolt

    It was all going swimmingly until... ...for some reason I'd got it into my head that these are supposed to be "bloody tight, and then some". ...I don't even know why I took it apart - just getting obsessive about cleaning. Ok, so it's broken. I might rob something else, or I might buy a new...

    Wanted 1" stem

    Looking for a 1" stem, with cable stop/canti hanger built in ideally a sort of swan neck alloy one. What you got guys?

    Stubborn cranks

    Midway through doing some upgrades on this Lana'i I've got stuck. The crank puller stripped the threads out. I bravely/stupidly tried it a second time which has thoroughly knackered them. So far I've tried hot air gun on cranks and whacking repeatedly from rear with hammer...no dice. Used a...
