There were some class bikes in there- has it gone walkabout? Resurrection of the defunct Cruiser thread

I've moved to the dark side and bought a 29er - and it's come with Rocket Rons on it, which I like in the summer when it's drier (ho ho ho). So my initial thoughts are a Wicked Will in 2.25" at the back - and a Nobby Nic at 2.4" on the front. Or Vittoria Barzo - which seem very light at 660g...

Not sure about the rest of it yet 🤣 Fairly pleased with these….

For sale - £50 posted Rims are in good condition - one sticker with a bit of bubble. Little wear to brake tracks - obviously with the FIR edge. Hubs are probably a bit dry - could do with some grease. Would suit 94-97 Clockworks and P7s - other Oranges are available :) I'm heading up to Leeds...

Just putting it out there - is anyone able to help out with collecting and posting some forks to me - please ever so nicely. I'm hoping the karma collection demi-gods will smile on me as I've done a few pickups for other RBers in the last few months. Thanks in advance 🙏

Need to get a 1" steerer in a 1 1/8th Pace RC35 crown - anyone out there have a shim that they don't need anymore - please ever so nicely :)

So chilli con carne - fabulous - a big old pot of it - bubbling...... But you have some left the next day - what do you do with it? You could do Dirty Nachos - but then you spend the next who knows how long wiping it off your chin, your shirt and your sofa. So gentle-folk of Retrobike - I...

Decent looking pair of Gravity 2.3 - came on a bike recently & surplus to requirements. They still have moulding bits and really very little wear. A little grubby but perfectly functional 👍

Well - a funny thing happened on the way to the forum.... I spotted this Breezer Sky and picked it up the other day. I realise it is low end - but I didn't want something top end. Having looked closer - it is almost perfectly original - as far as I can tell as it isn't in any catalogues The...

Looking for a little advice on a Breezer stem..... It has a lovely bit of cable routing - but is it likely to have an internal tube to guide a new brake cable through - or do I leave it well alone as I'll never get a new cable through there? It looks like it does - I'd just like the benefit of...

Out and about today, I met a chap who has what looks like a '95 Schwinn Cruiser Deluxe 100th Anniversary frame and possibly forks. The frame has some patina - including a couple of holes in the chainstays where the kickstand was once. Potentially the original fork - but that might have the...

With the imminent completion of the Bonty - the next build is ready to roll There's a few questions to be answered - but most of the build is there or thereabouts. Frame: RM Altitude 1993 Fork: Rock Shox Mag21 (1775g) Headset: RaceFace RealSeal or red King SV Stem: Syncros or RM...

Ringle Newbie - how do I get the bearings out of a Super Duper Bubba? Obviously caps come off with loosening the allen bolts - but then how do I get the bearings out? Please nicely :)

So here's a set of RC-30 at £275, with the ultimate sales blurb..... "I'm listening these a 10pm and can't be arsed right now to get a tape measure, to measure the steerer tube, so for now a large banana will have to do for comparison." At £275, you'd think he'd be able to measure the damn...

Picked up a pair of RC-35 recently - and the rocker is solid, no movement. Also doesn't have a spring. How do I go about loosening this - or removing it - should I manage to find a replacement? Words of wisdom much appreciated :)

Looking for a Hope Pro3 front hub - the 6 bolt disc version please, rather than the 3 or 4 bolt version. Thanks in advance :)

Looking for a 26" Stans ZTR Crest rim - 24hole in White - please ever so nicely. Would consider a wheel - front or rear - as I have a hub to build it up with. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, Looking for some gold Hope QRs - and 160mm Hope discs....... Tempt me ;) Rocking horse poo - but if you don't ask...... Thanks in advance

I wanted to really love this - but we aren't getting on :( Probably too big for me - so my bad luck is your opportunity to own a lovely '92 Prestige - serial is A203nnnn - previously owned by the fabulous Clockwork Davo - who I hope won't mind me using one of his pics. Pace RC30 forks, LX...

OK - so I've bagged a rather nice Syncros BB - thing is, I don't have the tool to fit it. My Hope one doesn't fit and I don't have any pin-spanners yet ;) I might have a lock-ring spanner somewhere - and can borrow one if needed. So what do I need to fit this beauty without scratching and...
