I obtained a small Voodoo Bokor ( I think circa 1997-98) which I'm restoring for my son. He's promptly outgrown it (and dwarfs me) . I'm still doing it though because I've enough bikes for me. I've started to restore the frame with Spray bike (black matt paint) which works amazingly well. I'll...

My friend has given up with his 1994 Kona Kilauea restoration. 18inch frame size. It's for sale for £200 ono. We also have period correct decals. I need to check with him if we still have the seat clamp and cable guide. Can ship or collection / viewing in Sheffield. We may also have suitable...

My friend has given up trying to restore a 1994 Kona Kilauea frame. resprayed professionally in dark silver to match the original, he also has the appropriate decals and hopefully a few of the other important parts. I already have too many bikes to take this on, but do you think it’s worth...

I'm looking for a MAVIC 517 rimmed front wheel on an LX or XT hub (circa 2000). For rim brakes and with plenty of life left in the rim if possible. I have a lonely rear wheel of the same spec and would rather find a matching front than purchase a new wheelset. Thanks, Stuart

Kona P2s wanted to put my 98 Explosif back to rigid. Wish I'd kept the original forks now, rather than selling them. V brake bosses required please. Many thanks. Will also consider Pace RC31s or any other straight, light rigid 1 1/8 fork.

My ebay listing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165438011165 Refurbished, recabled. I also have some additional headset spares to make this near original. Sadly missing the velocity stem top cap. Wheel hubs need a service and bike will not be supplied with pedals. 18 inch size, seatpost moves...

For sale, Helton cycles Reynolds 531 frame 21 1/2 cm size with mudguard eyelet spacing (audax style) so needs long pull brakes ( I have some if needed). Lovely zingy 531 frame, ideal as an Eroica project. Currently in Wilson cycles dark blue metallic paint, although this is somewhat tatty and...

Hi, I’m just restoring a 1993 Cinder cone, however the previous owner seems to have made a mess of replacing the headset bearings. I think I have the parts to restore the impact headset, but there is no bolt for the Quill stem. Is there an exploded diagram of an impact headset of this era...

My listing. Shame to see it go, but it's not getting ridden so needs a better home. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164341745103 Thanks, Stuart

Is it possible to cost effectively convert a 1982 7speed Campagnolo bike to a compact- 50/34, 12-28 or am I biting off more than I can chew. My friend has asked me if he can convert his old Pennine 531 Audax bike, but he wants to keep it Campagnolo with downtube shifters if possible. Thanks...

Dear Forum, Whilst I'm stuck at home my friend has dropped off his old Harry Hall 531 bike to look over. It's pretty corroded but I think it can be salvaged. It has Shimano 600 throughout, looks like circa 1983 (that's a wild guess). 6 speed rear hub, so it's likely still narrow spaced at the...

I have the remnants of a 9 speed Dura Ace groupset (chainset, bb, english and italian) plus a whole range of circa 1998 parts. It seems a shame not to use it, but they do not recover much at auction. What frame would you guys look to obtain to hang these parts on? I want to do another...

I'm looking for a small v brake Kona frame to build up for my daughter. Am not bothered by colour, but ideally seeking a light frame, so either a higher end steel model or an aluminium frame. I'm also open to considering a complete bike if somebody has something they need to move on. Thanks...

Dear Forum, I'd appreciate some advice: I have a lovely Colnago Master olympix x-lite with Shimano 8/9 speed dura ace components. The problem is I live in Sheffield and the 39-23 low gear combination is just too hard for me to haul around the Peak district. I'd love to keep the look of the...

I am looking to upgrade my 55cm Master X-lite to an aheadset and carbon fork 55cm frame, 13cm headtube. I can either replace the rusted chrome fork or upgrade to a carbon fork, but neither seem readily available. Thanks, Stuart

I'm looking to build up a small Kona for my son (he's a big 9) and am on the lookout for a small steel or aluminium Kona hardtail frame that I can refurbish. I figure 14 inch was the smallest 26 inch wheel frame size available. Could be tempted by a disc frame if of good quality. Anything out...

Wanted Kona velocity quill stem 93-94 in superb condition. I had one of these to complete my single speed 93 Kilauea build but it has either disappeared in my garage or I've inadvertantly sold it. :oops: Please contact me via retrobike pm if you have something that fits the bill...

Having just given one of these away as a sweetener in a frame sale, I now find I need another good condition Kona impact threaded headset. I'm still kicking myself and it hurts. If you have one that is weighing down your garage shelf, or would like to strip down your classic retro steed and...
