    Three large steel frames - free - Newbury area M4/A34

    Re: I'd have to get a box out of storage but your typical bike box. Someone had a link a while ago to a specialist UK bike delivery service? Weight I would estimate about 5kg per frame and 5kg for the box. Estimate high and then no unpleasant surprises

    Ken Ryall Hounslow frame & bits - spoken for - thanks

    I have an older lightweight Ken Ryall frame which I purchased as a project but will not be able to complete. I am describing it as "frame and bits" but I do have a mismatched front and original SA 3-spd rear wheel of similar vintage to include. All free for collection Newbury area (A34/M4). 61cm...

    Advice on selling multiple frames/bikes

    Hi - I am posting here as I fear posting in the regular forum might be considered "fishing". Simply put - selling house requires a clearout of a number of old steel frames I have collected over the years. These range from a nice (but with a small ding) "Rourke-style" frame (no tube ID but...

    Large frame clearout - Raleigh Touriste 531 - £50 West Berks

    Here's a 61/57 Raleigh frame - what I would call a light touring frame with 531 main tubes, "Raleigh" capped seat stays, mudguard eyelets, top tube cable guide (and under BB) and rear rack eyelets. There are two sets of water bottle bosses and a front brake hanger. There is some surface rust so...

    Sturmey Archer retrofit questions

    Thanks Keith - the parts are all "new" (and current) so you would think they would match. My SA experience also has taken a long holiday - seems there are many variations even in current offerings. The brake ends are "cast" I guess - the typical "universal (road/MTB) type cable (cut off what you...

    Sturmey Archer retrofit questions

    I'm retrofitting some new SA drum-braked wheels onto two old frames. I bought most of what I needed, but of course missed a few critical pieces. Due to the wide variety (and lifespan) of SA hubs, it's extremely difficult to Google or search within the forums for answers. So - 1st question - the...

    WTB- Shimano Dura Ace 7400 STi's

    Looking for a pair of cosmetically very good Shimano Dura Ace 7400 STi shifters - either version (round or convex levers) but matching. Needed to refurb a 1990s bike with functional DA group but ugly (although functional) shifters. Also a DA 27.2 seatpost. Shipping to West Berkshire or pickup...

    Campy crown race needed - 1"

    Wow - 1" threadless. Best save that for someone who really needs it. At least I can still buy the threaded 1" Campy headset - it's just that the parts are ridiculously expensive. Crown race = £26. Bearings = £18. Complete headset = £40. WTF?

    Campy crown race needed - 1"

    It's an 80s Colnago Decor and by my verniers the race is 26 & a bit (depends on where you measure) and it's a std Campy Record 1" threaded headset. The first time this happened it was the "other" bike shop in town. Same headset on an F. Moser frame. I'm happy to do the "cheap stuff" myself but...

    Campy crown race needed - 1"

    I entrusted the fitting of my Campagnolo headset to my local LBS and they managed to crack the crown race. That means the two LBSes nearest to me have both managed to crack crown races, so I guess from now on I may as well crack them myself. Does anyone have a spare crown race available to fit...

    GIOS compact 40th anniversary 56ctx54.5cc black

    Thanks - I have sent a note to the giostorino.it site and also asked an Italian friend to do likewise. If getting parts for my Italian espresso machine is any guide, I won't hear anything back, but a fellow Italian might :-) They don't seem to have a UK distributor these days. I also have a...
