Hi, Would my bike be worth more as it was original as a ten speed or as it is as a single speed. I have bought a new chain and will be putting it back to ten speed. I will be cleaning the mechs on it and new cables if it needs it. It has had new bearings all round and the paint is in very good...

I hope this is the right section to put this in. My wife bought me this bike. I dont know what, but something told me to get it and it just appealed to me. It is now in bits in my shed as I have completely stripped it down ready to be made into a single speed bike. I am unsure wether I will...

I am thinking of putting led strips on my bike in vaious places (pics when I have done it) and I am thinking about running them off one battery pack. Red ones are 5v and white ones are 4.5v. My question it, would they all be ok running off a 6v pp3 9v battery (small for space), or better...

I found this video on youtube about the first delivery of beef to Paris. It is a video about the Thames Trader trucks. I enjoy watching old clips like this. Make you see how much things have really changed. http://youtu.be/GshweOFubqU

Do you think I have ruined my bike by putting mudguards on. I bought some chrome mudguards for a 700c wheel as winter is approaching and if hte road is wet, so would my b ack be. I had enough of that as a kid. lol I think it looks worse, but practical. I had to 'sqeeze' the guards where the...

I am after a bike lock so I can lock my bike up if I have to. After rebuilding it, I wouldnt want it to get knicked. I dont want to get a heavy one like a motorbike lock and chain to put a potential thief off, but after something that is cheap, light and strong. This would be a bit extreme

I have noticed on ebay they have put the 'featured' section back on some sections. A few years ago, you had to go through a few pages before you got to the items ending within a few minutes to get the real bargains. Businesses were paying a bit extra for the option to have their items...
