Anyone know of any larger bikes that could be pressed into service as a daily commuter / weekender / winter bike? Possibility of mudguards and a rack would be a big positive. Cosmetics not really important as long as it is a sound bike . Complete bike much preferred . Budget £300 ?

I'm riding a Gazelle Champion Mondial AB from early 90s. Good cosmetic condition, 531, no rust, no dings. Last few months , I'm noticing how much it flexes when I put weight on the pedals. There's a significant lateral movement of the BB. I'm not any slower because I'm pretty slow anyway but I...

My shifter on the big ring is playing up , I can shift between the two larger sprockets but can't get into the smaller one : it just doesn't engage and the lever is loose. Does anyone have a set of these ? They don't seem to be available new except on Aliexpress ....

any got a rolling 700C wheelset ( for commuting use so fairly robust !) - they have to take an 8 speed cassette. Can pickup from north London or meet in central London ?

looking for comfort rather than performance :) possibly featuring gel ?

Looking for a straight and true wheelset to go onto a daily commuter bike . Mechanics very important , cosmetics not so important :) Can pickup around London if that helps !

Looking for a strong, possibly heavy frame or bike with plenty of braze-ons to build a child transporter / shopping bike . I'm thinking child seat over the back wheel , panniers over the front wheel , possibly a kick stand too ? Trek 520 is the model I suppose but nobody is selling :-)

Hi Gents, would love to pick your brains on my bike storage dilemma ... Currently I have a road bike ( no mudguards, no lights, thin wheels, drop bars ) that I use for "fitness" i.e clocking up miles in the daytime. I also have a much heavier commuter bike thing that I'm sat upright on : flat...

Hi Everyone thinking about cobbling together a commuter bike for my daughter . A nice MTB frame that I could add mudguards and a front rack . Any suggestions ? I'd need sensible pothole proof wheels and low maintenance gears . Am I better off starting with a road tourer ? She needs upright...

Anyone know of any larger bikes that could be pressed into service on my 10km commute into the city ? I like tourers, I like road bikes. I much prefer steel frames. I don't mind down shifters altho have recently got the hang of STI . Cosmetics not really important as long as it is a sound bike ...

Hi Gents, I'm struggling to maintain my shifters : I've got very long travel distance on the down shifts and the upshift is unreliable / stiff / prone to seize . Have I got a sensible replacement option without new wheels ? These have a triple chainring which I wouldn't mind losing.

Anyone have a big bike gathering dust ? Condition not important as long as it rolls in a straight line but would prefer a whole bike as sadly no workspace to strip anything down . Prefer steel frames and downtube shifters but that's because I'm old and I don't understand the new technology. I...
