I’m looking for some suggestions as to how to unstick a RSX 7 speed shifter. I’ve come across this issue many times with older Shimano and spraying loads of GT85 in the workings does the job every time. Not this one, oooooh no. It’s from the Cannondale featured on this forum. The bike has prob...

Just got this little beastie today. Waaaaay too small for me but couldn’t resist it for several reasons. Needs a bit of post-layoff fettling but rides beautifully.

Now sorted Thanks folks

Those of you unfamiliar with this builder’s name are not loosing their marbles. This is the only mountain bike Denis ever built. The story goes back to 1987 when I was a confirmed roadie and was given my brothers Ridgeback 501. Competent but flawed it did me til I moved to Cornwall where the...

All sorted thanks.😁

24” 531c Tom Bromwich/Sirius Audax frame purchased in 1990. Fitted with Campagnolo Veloche 3x9 groupset, GB bars and stem, Turbo saddle. The frameset has covered approxy 1000 miles, the groupset less than 200. I didn’t get on with ergo levers, the bike lay idle then it was passed to a friend...

Damn right it’s mine!!!

You know how it is, every now and again - usually at a time when N has gone way beyond N+1 and even you have been questioning your (own) sanity and you wish your shed had elasticated walls - along comes a bike in the free ads that slaps you in the face like a bit of home made banoffee pie. Such...

Call me mad as a bucket of frogs if you will but I reckon my present haul of fifteen fully functioning ready-to-ride adults bikes in a 8x8ft shed is going to be hard to beat. Anyone else have any stories of tardis-ian bike storage?

….minding my own business, having a cuppa after a ride (as you do), and I get Messenger pinged by a older chap in my bike club. “Pete, he says, I have a friend with some old bike tools he’d like to pass on…no cost to yourself” ‘Oh, no’ I thought. ‘Another offer of some manky, useless...

I’ve always been under the impression that these brands all came from the same workshop. Dave Yates has always been a frame name of repute but to what extent was he responsible for the other marques, if at all, and is every Yates Yates-Built?

Can anyone remember this brand and who was responsible? Pretty sure it was early eighties and maybe something to do with Madison or Orbit. Can anyone put me straight?

Not content with two ongoing projects I went for a third (Well, the other two are road bikes so...). A rather tired looking Clockwork now resides in the shed of bikely delights. Pretty much everything bar the frameset, stem and bars is being binned as it’s f f f foobarred and somewhere [rummage...

Worth a punt if you are happy it’s genuine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Allin-of-Croydon-57cm-road-bike-frame-Reynolds-531c-Rare-Eroica-bike-frame-only-/384932430056?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 No connection to seller.

Well, for me, anyway. It’s actually a few years older than me. Soon after I got into cycling I had a ride on a spaceframe Moulton and hoped I’d own one soon. Forty years later I have a project. It’s a very early one, apparently. I’m in the process of sucking as much info into my tiny head as I...

Wanted: Steel frame with horizontal rear wheel dropouts. 50cm top tube c/c Front and rear drilling for brakes (short reach calipers) Mudguard clearance not required. Paintwork condition unimportant, however, this is needed for a single speed set-up for a powerful rider so no corrosion issues...

I was browsing (is that the right word, I wonder?) a collection of steel dream machines and happened upon a Keith Lambert. Now he was a UK rider of some note and latterly sold bikes with his name. I would imagine that they were built by reputable frame builders of the time and, sure enough, on...

Thought someone may be interested in this. As far as I am aware Ammaco never offered a 753 off the peg. Could it be a pro-peloton sell-off? Tony Doyle perhaps...

Picked this little beauty up last week. It’s a Shorter built by Barry Chick. It has a right old mish-mash of parts fitted, some of which will be available if anyone is interested. The drive side Mavic crank is miss-matched to a left hand Campag!🤔 The plan is to get the brush-and-bucket paint job...
