    Cook Bros ...ect. Japan Buying Advice, Yahoo Auctions, Proxy Services

    @Betsy I'm tempted to give purchasing from one of these Japanese sites a try. I've identified a small plastic item from ZenMarket which has a Buy out price of 2500yen, and most likely will weigh in under 100-150grams packaged, so that adds a shipping cost of 3650yen. Total 6150yen or about £33...

    KHS Montana Comp Basingstoke

    All of my bikes sound great - when I’m just looking at them. It’s only when I try and maintain or ride them that they start to make noises I don’t like!

    For Sale 26" Tyres

    @heavyp Such as this one I've had running since 2023 you mean? https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/michelin-transalp-blackwall.470999/ I was merely responding to the OP stating he might have a set available.

    RARE 90s Trek 8900 Pro Composite Carbon MTB 26" looking to sell

    Hard to say as the market is a bit depressed at the moment. It's largely original (aside from brakes, bars, tyres, saddle, pedals as far as I can see). Do you have the original bits somewhere, worth checking if you do. Worth more in parts than complete sadly - as if often the case. If you are...

    Wanted Xtr m900 FD 34.9 bottom pull

    The cable coming from above would make it top pull. FD-M901. The cable coming from below would make it bottom pull. FD-M900. Are you sure which one you need? 🤔

    Lotus Sport 110 Carbon £26k

    Always fancied one of them to hang in the house as a piece of art. Still a bit pricey for that.

    Pop a picture or two up for us to gauge against. Your location on the planet would also be useful too 👍

    For Sale M900 XTR partial groupset

    I gathered an XTR group together for use on a Merlin I built up recently, but as I decided to go with XT this is now surplus to my needs. Wheels: Campagnolo Atek on 36H M900 hubs, complete with original QRs and intact rubber o-rings. Something odd that I’ve never seen before, is a crack in one...

    Pricey Campag BB

    Pretty sure I've got one of these in the spares draw. Better get it insured...

    NOT a Zaskar

    Agreed not a Zaskar - but what is it?

    Sorted Hope Ti-Glide end cap

    @36hours thanks - just waiting for ishaw to confirm his is surplus to his requirements, otherwise I'll drop you a message. I've got a set like yours still in use, I dare not look at them took closely🫣

    Sorted Hope Ti-Glide end cap

    Yep indeed it is. The hub is destined for my display cupboard of broken bits, got plenty of other Hope hubs in there just not a Ti-Glide.
