    Alpinestars Al Mega DX

    Having managed to kick the retro habit for many years I find I have fallen off the wagon. :( I now need advice on a purple framed (1992?) Almega DX. Most of it is original, except for left side shifter brake bundle, bars and stem. Maybe skewers? Does anyone have a spec list for these? Either...

    What am I looking for?

    Got a picture of a build in my head. But not sure what frame to search for. I want a 700c frame with horizontal top tube. Rigid, obviously. But the twist is that I want to be able to put fat tyres in there. Not huge, but about 700 x 50. Most old steel frames, which I have a few of, don't have...

    V-brake Canti Caliper conundrum

    I'm in the process of stripping down and building up a gitane tandem. It has some pretty mucky Mafac cantis. Given that I want the bike to stop and would probably swap its flat bars for drops, what do folks recommended? Can I get drop bar compatible Cantis with levers? Was hoping to fit a...

    Clements frame but what type and when?

    Recently acquired Clements bike, can anyone tell me about it? 27" wheels but 12 speed,so must be of an age. The head badge is stuck on, but the frame badge looks like it once said Reynolds but it doesn't look like any Reynolds badge I recognise. Kit on it is fairly low level Shimano Altria...

    Team Raleigh

    What's the story with Team Raleigh bikes, were they higher end? Was it just marketing? Secondly, is there a timeline of the Raleigh livery, from the Red yellow black, to Panasonic to banana and so on.
