I've got a retro MTB frame that's slated to be used on an incoming smart trainer, but the rear triangle is a bit on the rusted side. There's a bit of worming under the paint on the mid seat tube, and loads of surface rust on the seat and chain stays. What's the worst that can happen if one of...

Is there anyone who'd be able to help with collection and shipping from Plymouth?

I have a question for thee. What's the current going rate for shipping a bike or a frame within the UK? I've been away from the retrobike buying / selling scene for a good few years so I have no idea now. Inflation has taken its toll I'm sure. Also, do bike shops still give away bike boxes...

Hi all, I have a frame for sale but it's in my Mum's garage, and I work away nowadays so it's not really possible for me to post. Is there anyone in the Plymouth area who would be willing to help out with collection and postage (to UK)? I've had a request to post the frame already from a...

For sale, Raleigh Dynatech Mission frame and fork (headset included for convenience). - The main tubes are Mn-Mo (like 531), not cro-mo. The fork blades are also Mn-Mo, according to the sticker. - The size is XL or 21". The "Dynacurve" top tube is intentionally curved ;) (see this diagram from...

I have a bonded steel Dynatech Mission frame and fork (incl. headset) to move on, and wondering what it's worth. This was meant to be a project but life (working abroad long term) got in the way and it went into storage in a relative's garage for quite a few years. Unfortunately, there some...

I seem to remember in the late 80s or early 90s there was a type of triangular frame bag that attached to the top and seat tube, which had a curved pad that you could use to shoulder-carry the bike as well. Does the shoulder carrying accessory still exist, and can anyone recommend a brand? I...

I have to sell my Marin Mount Vision FRS frame, unfortunately. It took me a while to find one in this size, but alas I never managed to do a build and I have limited storage space, so this one has to go. The size is the rare-ish 20.5" centre to top (as in, not many years had this XL size), with...

I can't find the old "What's it worth" thread, so I guess I'll ask here and risk getting told off. I have a Marin Mount Vision frame from mid-late 90s, Can any body give me a clue as to how to price it? On ebay these types of frame seem to go for well above £100 (Covid tax?), someone is even...

The iconic Briko Stinger sunglasses appear to have been discontinued at some point in the last few years, and I've not been able to find any of them for sale anywhere (except for a few very overpriced used ones in Germany). Anyone here got a pair of Stingers (any model) to sell?

I'm in the market for a brake booster to beef up my cantilevers on a flexy frame. The only catch is the bosses are 100 mm apart, instead of the more standard 80mm. Most boosters do seem to allow for a range of boss distances, though. What you got? preferred colour: purple or titanium.

I managed to get myself one of my unicorns a few years back, a 1994 Dynatech DIablo STX frame, but on closer inspection it had a nasty looking dent (and slight bend) in the drive side seat stay. The frame and paint job is one of my favourites of all time, much better than even the cult Kleins in...

I just found a store that sells RST steerers pretty cheaply, in all the lengths and diameters we'd need for our retrobikes. https://www.bike24.com/p26275.html It's rumoured that these are identical in spec to Bomber steerers (or at least are compatible). Has anyone tried one on their bombers?

Today I had to ride 15 miles home with chain that skipped under any reasonable level of power, which turns out to be because (yet again) a section of 3 or 4 links somehow got twisted during the ride. I've never had this happen on a 7 or 8 speed chain in decades of riding. Are 9+ speed chains...

The boffins in the bike industry have just invented something totally new, building on their gravel bike innovation of recent years: the flat bar gravel bike. With a frame made of metal instead of plastic. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/specia ... d2VBHPrJsg
