I set out to convert Boy the Younger's bike from 3x9 to 1x11 so he has less to worry about when riding, and the shifter I bought turned up with no way to clamp it to the bars. A bit of googling suggests this is a thing now? WTAF? I think I have to hope I can return the shifter and find one that...

I've decided to sell this. It's really nice but I have a lanes & tracks bike that means more to me than this one does. And it's actually a little small for me. It's in remarkably good condition; the only bit that isn't great is the back wheel - axle and spokes have some corrosion, as per the...

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1259437527984910/ Discussed here. This is ten minutes from me, so if anybody wants it and can't get the seller to post let me know. I really like it but can't justify buying it.

I have some RST Mozo Pro forks that I got out of the parts pile to use, but the brace has cracked by one of the three mounting points, same place on both fork legs: Given that there are three pointing points, would you use these? I'm fairly light and not a hooligan. The forks still work well...

I've realised the hub is scrap on the wheel I fitted to the Voodoo recently, so I'm after a replacement. Needs to fit Shimano-type 9spd cassette and six-bolt disc, other than that I don't care what it is 🙂 Anything going? I'm near Salisbury (and heading to Cornwall the last weekend of this month).

I wanted a bike for playing on and one that I wouldn't cry about if I damaged/broke it. Also wanted to try something with more modern MTB geometry, but still compatible with my old parts-bin components. So went looking, and found a NOS 2012 Voodoo Hoodoo frame on eBay for £55. Reviews from the...

Blue one, from a '99 Rock Springs. Well scratched but no cracks and bearings seem fine. Has an IS brake mount. Collect from near Salisbury or I can post.

I've seen a Superlight frame for sale and I really like it. It's the first version, from 1999-2001 or so, and anodized rather than painted. Looks really good. The current owner wants £150 for it and I can't decide whether to go for it. Does anyone have opinions on the frame or the price?

Post "has a slight lean" which "doesn’t affect use, could be straightened" 😬 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225356753611

Any going spare? The present Mrs JimK wants flats on the M300 and I don't have any. Ta...

Can someone please describe or post a photo of the rear brake cable stop on this bike, or one like it? There's no stop on the frame, and the catalogue photo looks like there's something on the seat clamp, but they photo isn't clear enough to see how it's set up.

A message via Instagram from the 19yo saying "absolutely massive parcel for you at the front door" heralds the build of my first Cannondale. An M300 frameset bought from @ExpertBlay: Black/purple metallic paint is gorgeous 🙂 Today's progress: Removed the headset it came with - well, most of a...

1999, going by the catalogue pic. Looks in decent condition but no idea if it's worth £105. Facebook

I.e. 22.2mm quill. Would prefer one of the shorter ones if possible.

Prefer scruffy condition because it's for my pub/shopping bike. Needs brake bosses and minimum 160mm steerer. I'm Salisbury / New Forest but happy to pay postage. Thanks!

I've just acquired some 1995 Manitou Magnum forks that need new elastomers - do I have any UK-based options? Googling hasn't turned anything up.

Looking for 3s, 4s or the other models from those years. 1.125" threaded steerer, minimum 155mm long to fit a medium '95 Pine Mountain. Thanks!

Yesterday I picked up a mint '96 example, complete with the Owner's Manual in its plastic envelope! I had thought of turning it into a sort of gravel bike (fitting drops etc.) but it's in such lovely condition I'm going to leave it as it is. The original tyres are a bit cracked, though; anyone...

Anyone? This is for a daily rider so I'm not looking for cosmetically flawless - as long as they are functional (or fixable) then probably the scruffier the better. Thanks!
