That’s why I’d be making a cheeky offer. It would be a fair bit less than the asking price and probably rejected.

She’s probably still paying the £3.50 a week to Littlewoods too.

It should be the ideal size for me and I’m not that far from Weston. I’d be a lot closer if I had a boat. I’ve got a couple of biggish outgoings I need to make sure I can comfortably cover over the next week but if it’s still about by the end of next week, I might put in a cheeky offer.

https://ebay.us/m/WNpjc1 It’s got a fair amount of surface corrosion but looks very original. I have to admit I’m a bit tempted.

Also, it’s the chain is on bottom chainring and probably bottom sprocket on the rear that makes the rear mech cage sit at that weird angle.

I wouldn’t mind betting if I went to my parents house and looked hard enough in the garage there’s one there. I remember having a couple of these. One got broken when I was head down trying to go as fast as I could and crashed trying to avoid a couple of other kids playing tennis in the middle...

No worries, please don’t go to too much trouble trying to find them. It would be great to have them but I know it’s a bit of a long shot. Thanks, David

That would be great. Let me know if you find anything. Thanks. I’ve currently got a newer pair on my bike but it just bugs me they’re not period correct. Cheers, David

As per the title, I’m after a pair of anodised blue Mk1 Hope skewers with the stamped in rather than laser etched logo. I know it’s a long shot. Thanks

https://ebay.us/m/bvBUfT Just spotted this Kuwahara frame for sale while browsing around on eBay. Other than one of my mates having a Kuwahara BMX when I was a kid, I don’t know much about them so don’t know if it’s any good or not. But thought it may be of interest to someone on here as I’ve...

I reckon you’ve answered your question there with “the garage would be a lonely place without them”. I often go and sit in my garage to look and soak up the general atmosphere even when I’ve got no specific job to do just to be overwhelmed by the sight and smell of my bikes both motorised and...

Got to say I did fancy an ST2 a while back. I haven’t got space for any more motorbikes though as I’ve currently got 7 motorbikes including a VFR800 that fills the sports tourer space. It always amazes me how little sports tourers go for. I’ve got a 748R of a similar vintage to your ST2 which...

Carbon? Risers? What kind of witchcraft is this?

I would have posted a photo with the freewheel removed except I’ve just discovered I’ve misplaced the correct removal tool. Also, SJS Cycles appears to have stopped stocking these. It’s an IRD Cyclone Mark 1. I have read about people having issues with them but mine’s been fine. My rear hub is...

I’ve got a reasonably nice screw on freewheel on my Hope Titanium hub. It’s an IRD. I think it’s a 13-32 7 speed. It uses the same splined Shimano tool to fit/remove as the lock ring on a cassette. I bought it from SJS Cycles. It wasn’t cheap but so far seams decent quality. I’ll take a photo...

Thanks both. The ODIs look like a good option for something that looks right and is useable for reasonable money. Much appreciated. 👍

I’m racking my brain trying to think of some early nineties grips that would be suitable for my bike. I’ve currently got a pair of modern grips I bought from my local bike shop but I’m now starting to nit pick at the finer details with my bike and I just want to try and get the little details...

I remember having a Giant Cadex ALM 1 back in around 1993ish that was supposed to be a mix of Exage and Deore LX. When the bike shop got it out of the box it had a full Deore LX groupset (no Exage parts). I remember being well happy with that.

And I’ve just seen how much money people are asking for it online. It’s a good book but not 100 to 200 quids worth of good. I bought mine a long time ago for an awful lot less. Perhaps I’ll look after it a bit better now.
