Hi everyone. So I've got a few bikes in as I ended up buying a bundle to help my local Children's Hospice. They're also going to help me with my fundraising for the hospice that looked after my Grandad so it's a win win. Just wondering if anyone has anything before I resort to those Chinese...

I'm having a clearout and selling anything not attached to a bike to try and raise £200 towards my fundraising. Here we have a front and rear set of Tektro Gemini Hydraulic disc brakes. Pads have plenty of life in them and they work as they should, just been stored for a few months as the...

I'm having a clearout as I need to raise about £200 towards making my fundraising happen so selling anything that's not attached to a bike at the moment. Any questions or for more pictures please message. Tektro Gemini Hydraulic disc brakes. Front and rear set. Working order and pads have a...

Hi everyone. So against all odds and after a year of searching I've finally found the bike that will make my fundraising dreams possible. As you know I want to raise money for a mental health charity over the next couple of years and this Whyte will be the bike that makes it happen. It's a bit...

I appreciate this is probably an impossible ask but no harm in trying. I have just picked up a very rusty voodoo for my Christmas fundraiser this year. Everything was seized on it including the axle on the suntour raidons. It has one of those suntour qloc 15mm axles (non boost) and trying to...

Hi all you lovely retrobike peoples. So I've had a bike in my shed for a while which I want to get fixed up now. It's an early/mid 90s Marin Bobcat trail and the shifters are dead which to be honest is the only problem with it other than a tyre. It has the 3x7 shifter/brake lever (centre pull)...

So here it is. The retro project I promised. Looking at the serial number I think it might be a 1997 but don't quote me on that. Long story short. My sister went to buy a car and ended up buying me this for £25 as well. It's not the prettiest but it's solid and let's face it the Magura HS33...

Hi all. Not going to bore you with details about what's been going on but I've been hovering around here still, just haven't felt like I could contribute anything worthy, especially whilst not being able to ride and having to let go of most of my bikes. Fear not.... I still have one retro(ish)...

Hi all. As some of you may be aware my beloved Marin Rift Zone 29er cracked last year and as much as I've tried selling everything, saving up and trying to raise money to replace it, I'm never going to be able to afford anything similar to it. So I'm hoping that I can build something special...

Hi everyone. Without making a song and dance about it, my Marin Rift Zone is no more :(. Which leaves me with no rideable Marins in my stable and as you probably know, Marin bikes are the reason I have such a passion for cycling. I stripped one of my old bikes recently to upgrade it which has...

Oops I did it again. Yeah I know....🙄 So last week I bought a trek marlin off a friend to help him out and failed to realise that one of the fork dropouts was ummm.....buggered. Being honest I never checked it over as I really just bought it to get him out of trouble (he saw the bike, had no...

It's been a rough few months but things are starting to look up now so I'm hoping to be a more regular visitor on here again. I'm a bit more optimistic about next year so decided I wanted a retro in my life again I could use for charity events and special rides. I kept looking on Ebay in case...

I made a bit of a boo boo. As you know my beloved Marin broke and to try and let some of it live on I transferred a lot of the parts to my old Giant Trance including the 1x10 drivetrain so i can use that in the 24hr races. I didn't check the fitting and it turns out that my 2013 marin had a...

Hi. A bit of a long shot but I'll try nonetheless. I'm looking for a set of forks for 26" (or 27.5") wheels. I'm trying to revive my old Trance and the old recons are past their best to say the least. I'm hoping to do events with it next year (Mountain Mayhem included) so want to get it better...

Need to sell a load of my parts to pay for this year's fundraising. So first up is this. I have a front deore m505 hydraulic brake. It all works. I just bought a bike with mismatched brakes and replaced them with a matching pair. Price is £15 posted.

Pair of Alivio 3x9 shifters. Condition is well used/scratched etc but working as they should. Had to abandon my project due to my circumstances so need to sell these. £13 posted for the pair.

Pair of Shimano deore thumb shifters. Were on a 3x7 bike but the right shifter does have 8 clicks so can be used as 8 speed as well. Cosmetically not fantastic as you can see but all seems to work fine. Due to my circumstances I'm having to give up on all of my personal builds and sell any parts...

Hi everyone. I've been trying to build my old Marin back up to a decent standard as it's going to be a big part of training for next year. The biggest part I need is a set of forks. Specs wise I need straight steerer (at least 200mm), lockout, disc brake and will take forks for either 26 or 27.5...

Hi guys. Not having much luck locally so thought I'd ask here in hope. Sorry I know I'm only on here when I want something lately. I will remedy that soon, I promise. I have a bikes worth of parts and just want something to bolt it all to. 20" frame would be perfect and disc compatible due to...

Hi guys. Long time no speak. Won't go into detail but I'm not sticking around, just thought I'd offer a few bits in the hope they can help someone. There's a 3 speed left hand shifter (shimano slmc40) all working, a couple of shimano brake straddles and a 30.0-27.2 seatpost shim. If any good...
