    Replacement for a Dart

    92 CroMega respray - red or white?

    Gents The frame is stripped and ready to go off to the powdercoaters but I've suddenly hit a little dilemma. When I bought the frame, it was an LX and obviously white. It was also built up with bits that my m8 sourced whilst he worked in the LBS (a bit of a mishmash to be fair :shock: )...

    MacRetro Mabie report

    All good things to those who wait! Picture the scene - you're sat on the rear bumper of your car putting on your best cycling booties when a shadow creeps over you. You look up and there is a hairy Yeti in front of you sayin in broad Jockinese "I'm Kaiser, you must be Rhys". :D And so the...
