Looking for a steel frameset for rim brakes, somewhere along the line between an Equilibrium 853 or a lugged level top tube audax/light touring frameset from a custom builder. Full bike possibly of interest - wouldn't discount it if the frameset was right. Frame or frame+forks, either of...

If anyone can tell me, it'll be someone here : ) I'm looking for the blade diameter of the classic Project II forks. I seem to recall reading it was a 1.3-0.9-0.5 wall (TB version) and I suspect the blades were 1" or 1 1/8" - it's the blade dia I'm after though. Looks like a 1 1/8" / 28.6mm...

I have a black, 58/94 5 arm Middleburn spider and I need something in silver to fit larger rings - ideally a road 110 or an MTB 4-arm. Anyone? Thanks

Stem - to go on an old lugged frame, 26.0mm, with a canti cable hole / hanger would be good but that may be expecting too much. Headset - King or anything durable, anything with needle lower bearings of interest. Struggling to find much new and have a f+f arriving soon. james.olsen.remote AT...

Looking for something with trad CX angles / level top tube, 65-68mm BB drop, not-too-short rear end and the cond isn't important as long as it's sound and not dented. With fork is good, or I can get a fork made to suit. To suit 6ft rider, mainly need the right TT/ST/HT dims. Anything about...

Hi all. Long-time lurker and appreciator of classic bikes here. I've always liked the idea of a retro project but never really had anything in mind that would actually get the use to justify it. I'm doing more longer road rides carrying some stuff for weekends away and have done a few road...

Had a search here, looking on French S/H sites but thought the retrobikers may be able to point me in the right direction. I'm looking for something that's at least partly compatible with some modern parts rather than a total (ie £££££) period rebuild, but one that will be done with a real...

klunker project wanted, any model / condition considered. thanks

Anything from a Kona Humu to a late 30s cruiser. Suitable for building into a clunker. Nothing premium or super-rare wanted, I want a project bike that will be ridden. EDIT - if there's something nicer going I'm still interested.. Also MX bars, 26" coaster rear rake wheel, truss-fork support...

For 1 1/8" steerer and Jones ti bar that can be 31.8 or std size without the shim. After something like an x-lite fly, anything 90mm that's unusual, in purple ano etc. What ya got? James.olsen.remote AT hotmail.co.uk Thanks

I'm looking for a winter shed project. A pre 1989 MTB that will look right with bullmoose bars, or a Schwinn style cruiser (particularly anything with a supported fork truss) that can be modified, to turn into a fun SS for the summer. 19" modern MTB fit, so around a 20-21" in pre-'87 bikes...

Still with plenty / reasonable anount of tread. If they're period-correct for your bike then they're more use to you than me, make me an offer inc postage. james.olsen.remote at hotmail.co.uk
