Not the greatest photo as it was a very skinny bridge with a lot of foot traffic, Sunderlands Cox Green Footbridge over the River Wear. Underestimated the route, ended up doing almost 2k elevation gain and fighting an 11% grade hill however that lead to some beautiful views!

Wasn't intending on any bunker hunting this morning but I knew one was a stones throw from where I'd get off the NCR so I went for a look. That stones throw ended up dragging the bike uphill due to the loosest recently tilled soil known to man 😅 Type 22/Stent prefab looking very overgrown...

^ lovely colours! Sunderlands Wearmouth bridge, with the Monkwearmouth railway bridge to the left. Bonus Marina picture which technically has a bridge in it too :)

Not 100% sure how much these will have held their value/if it's a good deal but spotted it on marketplace and figured it was worth a post. 19" frame, XT hubs on mavic 717s, mix of XT/XTR drivetrain/brakes, Fox F80s, raceface bar/stem, cane creek headset etc. £170 North East UK...

At this point the actual year has me a bit stumped! I'd assumed 09 from a brief bit of googling, however your post made me look into it a bit more in depth with a few places/blogs/etc showing it as 2008, yet it doesn't show up in the 2008 catalog, and I cant find any 07/09/10 catalogues. Have...

Just a quick write up on the last week or so's project and perhaps a good deterrent for drunk fb marketplace browsing! Had seen this Kona changing hands over a few months time period on marketplace, eventually one night after a couple jds I saw it pop up again and sent an absurd lowball which...

Ryhope Railway Footbridge from it's second station opened in 1894, closed to passengers in 1953 and completely in 64.

Cool idea for a thread! As someone from a coastal and quite war proud town (see Tommy by Ray Lonsdale etc), exploring old pillboxes and the like is something we all did through childhood. Had always assumed the ones in my town were only coastal due to the docks, so imagine my surprise when...

Hey, in need of a 170mm length Hollowtech 2 crankset. Already have BB and 104bcd nw chainrings, just looking for something to replace the chinese ixf crankset I have now. Brand condition colour etc don't particularly matter as long as they're of better quality than the aforementioned and aren't...

Did some more searching, seems like SJS have them in stock - assuming I'm not having a massive brain fart and you do want a 28mm OD 27.2mm ID shim. 28mm in the "outer" drop down menu. https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/seat-posts/280-use-seat-post-shim-272-mm-id/

Maybe you already stumbled across this, but these guys seem to be offering a cnc service for people in the exact scenario as you are, might be worth reaching out if you cant find the shim on its own. https://elevationwheelcompany.com/news--tips/28mm-to-27-2mm-seatpost-shim-for-colnago-c40-c50/

In need of a rigid fork to replace some dart 2s on an 09 Kona. Suspension adjusted so 440mm axle to crown, steerer minimum 200mm, 9mm qr and disc mounts. Not particularly fussed on colour and to an extent condition as long as they run and don't have any major damage. Postage to North East UK...

I'm sure there's a proper adage about Facebook marketplace whilst drunk but for this I'll just call it Fridays impulse Saturdays regret. Early finish and a few drinks lead to sending an absurd lowball on an 09 Kona Blast Deluxe that had been doing the rounds on marketplace the last month or two...

Yep, found this out the hard way after buying a cheap square taper BB tool which then proceeded to destroy the splines on the BB itself as the ones on the tool weren't deep enough to properly engage. Not a total waste of money as a week later I used that BB tool in conjunction with a crank...

Honestly getting a pair isn't too critical, I have the original wheelset I took off the bike however the rear is a 5 speed freewheel, but I'd have no qualms reusing the front wheel if you (or someone else) were able to provide a rear! :) Thankyou for the ebay link too, will keep an eye on that.

Hey all, after a cheap set of 26 wheels to get an old frameset up and running again. Doesn't have to be anything special but would prefer if it came with an 8 speed cassette as the rest of the spares in my parts bin I plan to use are all shimano 8 speed stuff. Would be posted to the North East...

Hah yeah I wouldn't blame anyone for skipping over the thread when they saw the title! The paint job was the sole reason I took it (aside from it always being fun to have something to tinker with). Was on an early morning pre work dog walk and saw the rear end sticking out of a skip, spoke to...

Hey all, recently had the fortune (or misfortune depending on your opinion ;)) to pluck an old Emmelle Xerama out of a dumpster with the intentions of just parts bin upgrading it, and I have a few questions regarding changing out some of the components to be more modern. It came with a 5 speed...
