Having got a new job last year, I've not been on the forum much for a while, but it looks particularly quiet at the moment. Hopefully all is well with you and yours and there will be some epic rideouts in the planning for when its not forbidden! Lets hear how everyone is doing. Ken

The latest addition to my little Cougar collection arrived today, and as I had hoped it's something a bit special... All 3 main tubes are fluted. There are 5 flutes. Dropouts are Columbus as is the decal, which is of a type used by professional repainted... So I'm going to assume the tubing is...

So here it is... a frameset that has had at least three owners from this forum and has probably not had a groupset attached to it for at least 5 years!!! Deda Zero Tre tubeset with Time Stiletto carbon fork (Thanks to a previous owner with initials NM for the pic) Finishing kit will be...

Any vintage in 54cm Ideally, mint condition in last years pastel green. However, any colour considered as I'm happy to powdercoat it. Likewise, condition of current "paintwork" unimportant.

Yesterday, someone decided to drive straight across the bit of road I was on resulting in a fairly hefty clatter bang wallop. Anyway... I want to assess the state of the bike, so I'm looking for advice from those in the know as to how to spot issues in steel frames and forks. I don't want to...

I'm Looking for a Campag 1" Threadless headset for a build on a brand new frameset... therefore NOS or MINT preferred.

I'm building a classic frame (which happens to be blue) in retromodern form and whilst it would look great with a silver alloy chainset, I have a silver/carbon 11 speed Chorus "group" spare. Carbon levers Silver brakes Silver rear mech with carbon faceplate Carbon compact chainset with black...

A few weeks ago I did a three day trip on a 1980s pro race frame with a 10 speed triple setup. Whilst it was perfectly comfortable it did make me realise that I don't have anything in the fleet that could realistically do a lengthy tour. I'd put a PX Kaffenback together last year as a hybrid...

Looking for the cups from a Chorus or Record square taper cartridge bottom bracket so I can swap an ITA fit between bikes rather than buying a whole BB I don't need. Anybody got the cups or a nearly dead bottom bracket that the cups could be transplanted from? Must have unchewed splines and BSA...
