Karma- pick up form Upminster Essex or will post at £5 Lightly used Cateye Micro Halogen light. Takes 4 AA batteries as a stand alone or 4 D cells in the separate battery case which fits into a bottle cage. Old technology now, but really bright in its day.

My buddy has had these since he stopped racing in the 70s. They are very well used so maybe not everyone's cup of tea. However, they either go in the bin or to a Retrobiker who may be able to use them. £free for pick up in Upminster Essex, or you pay for postage. (I guess about £5) Atom is...

Just finished building this up. I believe the provenance is that it's a Vic Edwards frame built for a customer of Buck Cycles. Thanks to Sawston_Vulcan for the frame and various RB ers for extra bits and guidance on threads etc. If it stops raining it will get its first ride today !

I am currently building a late 70s (poss 1979/80) frame and I need to find a seat bolt for it. The frame is of the shot-in seat stay design with a single bolt into a thread on the opposite side of the lug. My question is, can I expect it to be imperial or metric? I can source either and have...

I have misplaced my bits box which I know has a couple of 70s period mechs in it , but I really want to finish off a build before club 10s start in a couple of weeks. So if you have any 5/6 speed mechs kicking around in reasonable nick, I would be happy to make an offer. What you got ? Terry

My buddy Pete is clearing his garage and this baby has to go. As far as I can tell, it's all original, with Shimano 600 groupset. He measured seat tube as 55cm. Looking for £299 or near offer. As Pete is not on RB, I will pass any messages to him. He would want buyer to collect (near Harold Wood...

I finally had enough of paying for sky Q and am trying to cancel (that's a story in itself). Has anyone on here replaced sky with a freesat box and if so, are there any issues and whats the best one to buy ? Thoughts and guidance appreciated.

Loads of life left in it. Bought it 3 years ago and found I rarely used it so went back to a 44 ring. Looking for £13 posted.

My buddy and I had a frame each painted over the xmas/new year period. These were professionally done from a reputable finisher. We have both noticed however , that they just keep chipping, apparently from minor knocks. Now I have twenty/thirty and forty year old frames in my garage that don't...

Excellent all round service. Item was posted, tracked and arrived all within a day or two. Was also exactly as described.

Want it to fit a mid 80s Super Record chainset. I believe I need 115mm axle. Doesn't have to be Campag but does have to be English thread for a 68mm shell and ISO taper.

Anyone else looking forward to being much safer from Saturday ?

Putting my Sixar back to near original 1981 setup. Its back from the paint shop and looking fine. I aim to get as original as possible, and that includes going back to tubs. Having looked at whats hanging in my garage, my old sprints all need too much TLC to make them look good again. If you...

These are the ones with adjustable Q factor. I am happy with damaged or single pedals for cannibalising.

No visible insertion marks and no dirt. Was used for a couple of rides so not quite brand new but looks pretty darned close. £20 This is the aluminium model, not carbon.

I bought these a couple of years ago and found them just a bit too tight so never wore them. I am a UK size 8 and I reckon these are closer to a 71/2

So I thought I had cracked the seat pillar on my modern bike. I dug some spares out of my parts bin and came up with a modern carbon FSA and a mid 80s Super Record. Guess the difference in weight ?

Went up in my loft and dug out some vinyl. Not bad for 49p...

Over the years I have collected about 30 odd tools that I dont need. I have old hacksaws, screwdrivers, hand drills and braces, hatchets, chisels, saws etc. I am loathe to throw them away as most are totally usable, just not likely to be used by me again. Does anyone on the forum have any...

I moved my collection today, to make way for some work, and I realised just how much things have changed when I was picking up each machine. These are just a few of my bikes and I really noticed the weight differences as I carried them upstairs. They range in age from1981 through to 2018 and...
