    Hi. Got a few parts to move on. I'd planned on changing my Kona to 11sp, but I've decided on something else for it (M950). Its on the turbo for winter now anyway. All these parts are N.I.B. unboxed for photos only. Never fitted, Allen Key never used, pedals not fitted, shifter never put onto a...

    Pace RC200 F2

    Redundancy and pay issues force this. 1992, Pace RC200 F2, 19". I may end up having to split this, but for now this is for sale complete. I'd prefer someone to collect it thus making sure any prospective buyers can see its condition, although I'm aware I am limiting the sale somewhat...

    Peugeot Cycles

    What's the point of being on Retrobike if you can't pick peoples brains? Can someone outline who actually made the frames over the years. Are they French (Gitane), Swiss, (Cycleurope), or what? I'm looking at getting one at some point, so just looking for manufacturing and source design...

    Ally's Proflex

    This is a very special bike to me, but really nothing much to look at. Its been a do-it-all bike for me since new in 1996. Now set up as a mountain access bike. Its due a full workover in winter, but its great for now. As it was. And now.

    Ally's Scott Genius MC40 2008

    Bit of a story with this bike. Bought it new in 2009, sold it in hard times a year later to a pal on the proviso he would give me first option if he ever came to sell it. Re-bought it a few weeks ago which pleased me no end as I was gutted about selling it in the first place...

    New beginnings.

    I'm away to start a new role in my work in a week. I'm real lucky to be working with the some really cool kit and will be traveling throughout the world with it. This stuff gets run subsea from a boat, so totally new thing for me to be up-to. This may well be the thing in which I can actually...

    Ally's Bike Line-Up

    Most of these are old bikes. I'm away to change job roles so i've had to take my bikes out of storage from work. Really need to re-visit some of these and give them some attention, but all are in usable condition.

    Music.

    Seen lots of music threads coming up over the while I've been on here. Would it be worth a Sticky perhaps? Music has always played a big part in my life. Some of the things I'm into (new and old): Melt Banana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V834dITANyg...

    Ally's Scott Scale 30, 2011.

    Decided to treat myself after wanting a modern bike for the last year. Lucky to find one I think. Must have been about the last in my size for a 2011 model. As strange as it sounds, I was looking to build a bike analogous to my Pace. Modern (for the time), frame design, materials...

    I've got this bike from a pal who i've badgered into selling it to me. I am now its second owner. It doesn't look like it, but its a raleigh Road Ace Select 600. At some point one of the joins failed and it went to the Special Products Division for a repair. They sorted the join, replaced...

    Crank Length Question

    Could I canvas opinion please? I run 175mm's on my mountain bikes and 172.5mm's on my road bike, both feel fine to me. I'm away to be building up another road bike and can only find the cranks I want in 170mm length. Compared to what I'm used to on the road, its only 5mm diameter...

    Ally's Explosive: Completed.

    Rojo thought I should post this up for interest as i've been pottering with this for a wee while now. My mission with this bike is to make the most of what i've got. I picked up this 1997 Explosive frame cheap but it needed some work to it. It had a repair done on the seat/top tube join...
