Hi all. I'm selling my complete set (18 issues) of Privateer Magazine. Lots and lots of great articles and photography with plenty of retro content. I'm based in Glasgow and ideally looking for someone to collect as they are quite heavy. Selling for £50 if you are able to pick them up, but...

Selling my Surly 1x1 fork. Very little use and in excellent condition. 1 1/8“ steerer, 200mm in length, 453mm axle to crown, disc-brake only. £50 + postage Cheers, Nik

Pace RC31 forks in excellent condition. Just a couple of very minor scuffs and the usual paint chips on the dropouts. Low mileage and well taken care of. Star nut fitted, but no crown race. £99.00 posted UK. PayPal preferred. Originally purchased directly from Pace who were super nice and...

Up for sale is my 1997 Kona Kilauea. 18" frame, measured centre of BB to top of seat tube. £350 plus postage. I'd prefer collection in person (Glasgow), but my local bike shop will help pack it up and courier it if necessary. Bank transfer preferred. Everything is in excellent condition. The...

Finally, I get to post in the proper retro section! So, back in 1997 I bought this frame from Bike Scene in Guisborough, stuck a set of Judy SL's on it and built it into a really great all-round race bike. Probably the favourite of all the bikes I've owned. Things moved on, both in the bike...

One of threads in my Litespeed disc brake adapter (for a 2004 Pisgah, but i think the adapter fits all Litespeed frames) has mysteriously stripped itself. Does anyone know where I can get a new one in the UK? I can buy direct from Litespeed in the US...

Coming to an MTB near you? Looks very interesting: http://bit.ly/I50QH9 Nik

Looking for the subscription version of Privateer Issue 12. Must be the subscription version without the tear-off cover and must be in near-perfect condition. Nik

Looking for a tool case to keep my ever growing collection in good nick. If money were no concern then I would fancy the Park BX-2 as the size looks about perfect and I guess the inserts will fit my existing Park tools: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Park-Tool-Blue- ... B004XHXF76 Can anyone...

A few months back I started to get a loud creaking sound coming from the central area of my Litespeed. It was embarrassingly loud. At first I was convinced it was the bottom bracket, but then I realised that the sound stopped if I stood up and pedalled. So not the BB. Also the sound would reduce...

Not everyday you get the British Championships whizzing past your house. Just back from watch Cav do the business with Stannard second and Millar in third. Start/Finish line is 30 seconds from my doorstep! Nik

Posting this up for a friend of a friend who's just had 2 bikes nicked in Glasgow. The first is a Brodie Loki - a pretty rare beast in the UK. The other is a Edinburgh Bike Co-op Revolution Courier S1ngle singlespeed. Details and pictures here: http://www.rossmcculloch.com/ive-just-h ...

Not sure if this has been posted. Less than 10 minute ride from my flat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63o_cPZhk84 Nik

It's been a bit of a grueling year, so me and the missus are busting out of Scotland at Christmas to spend a few weeks in California. For the last week of the trip we've rented an apartment in Mill Valley. So.... It would great if anyone local could recommend some MTB shops where we can...

Finally relented and swapped out my Pace RC31 forks for set of 2012 Rock Shox 100mm Reba RLs. I've not had a set of suspension forks since my '97 Judy SLs, so much to learn. Thankfully Rock Shox have provided an in-depth manual taking you step by step through the tuning process... I'd be...

Seem to be rare as hens teeth these days. Looking for new or very good condition. Must be post-mount version. Cheers, Nik

Now that the weather has improved and I'm out on my beloved Litespeed more and more I've noticed that the right hand brake lever is slowly leaking mineral oil onto the blade of the lever itself. lt seems to be coming from the piston rather than the reservoir. These are brand new XTR M975 levers...

Hi all, I've been loitering on this site for several months, but didn't really have anything to share with everyone. However, today saw the completion of my 2004 Litespeed Pisgah build. I'm just back from my first ride and thought I'd post some pics. The frame was bought on Ebay and arrived in...

Hi all, I'm looking for a Kona Project 2 fork to fit a 1997 Kilauea frame. It needs to be 408mm crown to axle, 1 1/8" threadless steerer and cantilever bosses. Can these be found new? Second hand also welcome. Any pointers would be hugely appreciated. Cheers, Nik
