Hello For sale is my beautiful Sunn. Sadly, it's been in the shed at Mam and Dad's for the last 10 years, I've had finally had to come to the realisation that I'm unlikely to ride it again. It's a 17" Tange triple butted Cr-Mo frame, with Mavic 217SUP rims, Deore LX brakes, front mech and...

Hello After having built this up for my ex-girlfriend, she never rode it. You'll note the "ex" bit of the opening sentence - no prizes for guessing why I'm breaking it! Frame, forks and headset £60 (collection preferred, PM me if you want delivery and we'll sort something) - I'm unsure of the...

Hello I've got limited internet at the moment, so i'm unable to get pics up, but I've got a USE post in 420mm - as of this morning, it'd never been fitted to a bike. it was meant for my Gazelle, but it's too long and hits up against something obstructing the seat tube before it gets low enough...

Hello Not sure how will this is going to go down on here, but I think it's looking good, so... I figured it was time to build a geared bike as I'm finding the SS a bit limiting on longer rides. I picked up a lovely M-Trax frame (now with Phil @tiermat) and gathered various bits together...

Hello For sale is this M Trax 200 R frame and forks - I was sold it off ebay as a 54cm, but it's a bit bigger than that... It was originally sold by oldmuthariley off here to the guy I got it from under this thread: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=192095 dimensions...

Hello I've had a look around and, while there's a bit of info on M-Trax MTBs, I'm struggling to find the equivalent for the road bikes. I'm building up an M-Trax 200R at the moment and am interested to learn more-it's welded 4130 CrMo, so I assume it's nothing too flash, but it seems a nice...

Well, *this* is embarrassing...another change of mind. I picked up some Veloce 9 Speed Ergos that needed a bit of freshening up, so I attempted it myself - Campag 1, Me 0. The right lever was working, until I took it apart and couldn't get it back together properly (I've not touched the...

I'm an indecisive soul. I had plans for building up the M-Trax with an interesting bar setup and 90s 105...then I had a go on some Ergopowers and now it's heading all Campag. I've a few bits I've picked up before the change of mind - I'm aiming to get back what I paid for them, so I think...

Hello I'm building up an M-Trax Cr-Mo frame I picked up on the cheap into my main bike and, mainly due to the fact I find the levers more comfortable, I've decided to go Campagnolo (for the first time). I know nothing about Campag... I've come by some Veloce shifters, that I'm told are 9...

Hello I was going to build up a wheel on this, but when my rear Phil arrived, I realised I'd have to get one for the front too and that nothing else would do... So here it is (bought off Way2Many on here a couple of months back), a NOS Campag Chorus front hub - it's never been laced (to my...

Hello I've just swapped my back wheel out, so the old one's spare - it's a Sachs-Maillard single-sided English thread freewheel hub laced up to a Mavic CXP10 as a single speed wheel. There's a decent bit of life left in the rim, but the hub's seen better days - a good clean out and repack...

Hello I've stripped the Diavolo and I'm selling the remaining small items. I think they're pretty reasonable, but if I'm way out or you fancy making me an offer, then let me know. Exage Brakeset - Decent condition, nuts are a bit rusty on one caliper, but they should clean up pretty well...

Hello As some of you may have seen, I recently picked up this Columbus Cromor framed Diavolo off ebay. On riding it, I've decided it's too small (the bike was listed as 21", but it's actually 20") - I've messed about with the riding position, tried it with a longer stem etc., but it's always...

Hello As you may have seen elsewhere, I've just picked up a new road bike with a weird mix of components on it. The frame, mechs, bars, stem, seatpost etc are from the late 80s/early 90s, but the wheels are a mystery - they're Mavic MA2s laced to Pelissier hubs of the type shown below (I'm...

Hello all - I just picked this up today after an ebay-related rush of blood to the head before the snow started. It's an odd mix of components (Exage brakes and levers, RX100 rear mech and shifters, some sort of Campag front mech, 105 aero pedals, Tracer (?) chainset, Cinelli Criterium bars and...

***All now gone*** Hello For sale are some 7 speed Shimano downtube shifters - I bought them with the intention of cannibalising them for some Paul Thumbies, but changed my mind. As you can see, there's a chip out of the plastic on one, but apart from that, they're OK - I paid GBP5 posted...

Having a small clearout now I've finally decided what's going on the Cinder Cone. All prices include UK postage, karma you cover the postage. Dibs first, then PM please. Karma Trans X seat QR ***GONE***Use shim - 26.8mm, inserted long enough to realise I needed a 26.4...

Esther wants a bike for getting around town. After spending a long while trying to persuade her that she didn't really want a step-through, Dutch style monstrosity, I finally managed to get a compromise in the form of a small MTB. I found a Cinder Cone with P2s on ebay for cheap - the paint...

As per the title really. The Cinder Cone frame I just got came with a Deore XT headset in place - bonus, I thought. On stripping it down however, there's a massive chip out of the headrace - if anyone's got a part to fit, please get in touch... EDIT: it's actually a Deore XT headset - the...

Now sorted - thanks Tad! Hello I'm looking for a shifter to cannibalise for use with a Paul Components Thumbie, but it seems a shame to split a good set as I won't be using the one for the front mech. Does anyone have a single shifter, either Shimano or Campag (ideally Shimano 7 speed...
