The Voodoo Bizango has been great since I got it through cycle2work however the gearing is a bit much for the hills. It comes with a 32T SRAM direct mount chainring as standard. This has a 3mm offset. Wiggle are currently selling a 28T SRAM direct mount chainring with 6mm offset for £9.99. Will...

Back in August I saw a 1983 Nishiki Bushwacker locked up outside the local sports centre. Looked a bit tired but appeared to be original. I left a note on the bike asking the owner to give me a call if they ever wanted to sell it . I heard nothing and forgot about it. The on Thursday I got a...

I've recently taken possession of my late Uncle Georges photographic slides and I'm in the process of scanning them. They date from 1959 - 1979 . He was from Paisley but lived for 30 years in Barrow in Furness. He was a keen photographer and took mainly landscapes , railway engines , ships and...

Its a good few years since Macretro had a road run. We had a couple of trips to Arran , MrPs Killen ride and Velos excellent 3 Abbeys ride however nothing since. I know quite a few of us have road bikes of various forms but not neccessarily retro. I realise folks diaries are pretty full but...

I picked up a Bob Jackson locally. The paintwork is poor and there's surface rust so it wasn't expensive. It came with a titanium stem , modern Campagnolo Xenon 10sp shifters , Shimano 105 front mech , 10sp DuraAce rear mech , 105 threaded headset , bottom bracket , 10sp Campagnolo crankset ...

Looks like a standard Europa to me with some slightly more modern bits on it. The last Europa I bought , about 2 years ago , cost me £35. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-Ti-Eu ... 1532217149 Apologies if this has already been posted

Festive Frolics kind of fizzled out last winter but the previous year had a good turnout. Any thoughts of a date for this year. Usually between Christmas and New Year. I would suggest Boxing day is out as folk are either recovering or still doing the rounds of the relatives. Likewise...

A good day out spoiled by my back brake giving up. I made it up to the radio mast and down on Britney Speirs with one brake but decided to bail out to remain in one piece. I'm sure the others will be along soon to add their bit. Oh , I almost forgot , unless anything happened after I left I...

I picked this up from Gumtree for £35 Seller listed it as 1950s Sun Wasp but its been painted and the head tube badge is missing The bike was given to his deceased father many years ago and he was told it was a flying Scot. He gave it to a local South East Ayrshire enthusiast to service a long...

I picked this up locally on Gumtree for not a lot. It all appears to work except the Marzocchi Z5 , the bushes have gone. The fork will be replaced by the Rock Shox in the picture which I've had lying about for so long I've forgotten what it is. Some sort of Judy I think. All that really needs...

Anyone fancy another go at the road run from Killin this October ? Maybe try and start on time , weather permitting , and get some more miles in. Take lights too just in case. Being selfish I suggest either the weekend 19/20th or 26/27th as these are the two weekends I have off in October.

I picked this up last night locally from ebay. As is often the case I probably paid too much but the seller seemed a nice guy and the money is going to help pay for medical treatment for his neice. He bought the bike 2nd hand in the early 80s and used it to commute about 5 miles to work. It's a...

I'm planning a trip down to Kirroughtree tomorrow morning. It's somewhere I've been meaning to go for the last 3 or 4 years but as it's a 2 1/2 drive from my place I couldn't do it and be back for school coming out. I have , however , a cunning plan. I'm going to head down this evening in the...
