I see a few guys on here sending frames off for a refurb....that's unfortunately way too costly for me, so I'm looking at doing this myself. I'm not bad with a gun so I think the finish will be good enough, but it's all in the prep! So, anyone have any good tips for getting an aluminium frame...

For about the eleventy-millionth time I am going back to my Kona Fire Mountain. Old thread Since this old thread stopped being updated I've been "riding" a Merlin Malt3 with Rock Shox Reba WC Carbon, and all the other bits off of the Kona. I've now sold the forks and the frame so I'm building...

Hey guys, Have just purchased a Switch On+ road frameset and there isn't a lot of info on them anywhere. Even their website is down! I should probably have looked before I bought but a full carbon set up for £130 was too good to let go! They're an Italian company based in Malta I think! Can...

Hey all, A friend of mine is looking to sell her unused Giant Hyde Park hybrid but I really can't judge the value of it. There's a Gumtree ad for one at £120 but to me that seems a bit optimistic. Any thoughts?

Hi all, My mate's after something to get fit on. All the retro stuff I've shown him he's kind of baulked at. Having said that it might just not have been what he thought he wanted. So, he missed out on a really nice matt black kona, full of XT and xtr and that annoyed me as it took ages to...

Hey all, Thinking about taking up tricks and trials again, I used to be into it when I was but a nipper. I don't know what's out there though bike-wise. I'm 6'4" and don't have stacks of cash but I think I'm after something fun, single speed, rigid, solid. What's out there, new or old, for...

Well why not eh? I'm not on here loads but would be nice to get some ego-boosting by being a nice chap

Alright everybodypeeps! Got a few bits for sale, prices include UK p&p, first come first served! Club roost stem, I believe its around 120mm but am not sure how to measure it lol! Silver, 1 1/8", 25.4mm clamp, 4-bolt face plate. £no longer for sale DMR wingbars, riser bar in anodised black...

I've been a bit of a plum and bought a new bar with a 25.4 clamp and a stem with a 31.8 clamp. I know, idiot. Stem is a white easton ea90 100mm 0degree, bar is 560mm easton ea50 3degree sweep. Weigh 280g together! So I have 3 options: Does someone have a flat bar weighing at 150g or less for...

Right then, I've been mooching about on here for a while been don't really post much. Truth be told I'm not huge on retro stuff, I just like bikes and building them! Must admit, I like my old Kona though :-) So I built up a DMR, which at 15", and me at 6'4", was a bit small. So I did a swap...

hi all, been a long time since i've been into my bikes but after a long 50 mile treck recently i've decided i need to shed some weight! so, i currently have a un52 BB (WW show as >300g) and i'm after a lighter one, preferably <200g. Something like a hope ti or fsa ultralite....or anything...

Hello, Looking for some p2s for my 97 kona, I'd like disc only forks if possible, at least 200mm steered and preferably black, but I can move on color for the right price. As long as they aren't too long, I.e. 465mm crown to axle. I believe I need either a 410 from original geometry, or...

Hey all, Bought the above frame about 2 years ago, not sure on year, its blue cromo, canti/v only. I've been running some 2000 bomber z3 100mm forks but I'm looking to do more commuting so want to go rigid. As far as I can tell forks are available in 425mm, 445mm and 465mm length (crown to...
