Powdercoated (poorly) by a local company that went out of business before they could sort it or even strip off what they had done. Lovely frame to ride. 531 Reynolds, 22 inch approx size. Would make a great beater for someone in it's current state, or something better for anyone willing to put...

Bit of a sad end to this story (possibly). The local powder coater I chose messed up the finish, promised to sort it then went out of business. The frame was returned to me without charge but with numerous issues with the powdercoat. In the 7(!) months they had it the parts I'd bought for this...

I have a set of M095 levers with hoods. Brake levers work fine, right shifter needs a rebuild, metal hardware is rusty, hoods are in good shape though. Would prefer to sell all together, but Id take £20 +p&p for the hoods if you were keen 😊I'm in the UK.

Ideally a clean pair without too much corrosion. I have a sets of S.R. Roots shifters or the newer Sun Race M90s which I'd be open to swapping if that's preferred to cash.

I have this pair of Lee Chi chunky 4-finger levers off of my Peugeot US Express in great condition, happy to do £15 posted if they fit the bill.

Looks exactly like the one that came fitted on the 1990 Peugeot US Express. Sadly I'm not in the market but might help someone looking for a nice replacement!

A very fair observation and definitely something that had occurred to me (only after I'd wrapped the bars annoyingly!) This is actually the first time in ages I've opted for flat bars over drops on a bike. I'm sure with right drop setup it'd be fantastic but it was a chance for me to try...

I spotted this 1985 Peugeot PH501 for sale locally for £30. The listing described it as 'Very old road bike, works fine'. Between the non-functioning brakes, the horribly out of true back wheel (probably contributing to the former) and the severely indexed steering there wasn't much on the...

Just a word of warning on the replacement bolt idea. I bought the Jtek bolt and fitted it without issue to some older 105 calipers. Sadly they didn't have the reach I needed on the rear wheel so I got some Tektro 539's instead. Despite using good quality tools and following the same process I...

Sorry to hijack but I'd be interested, please send me a message!

Updates! It's not exactly been smooth sailing with the Claud. Firstly I stumbled upon the information that the lovely Stronglight 49D cranks that were fitted to the frame have a unique 23.35mm thread and require a unique and expensive crank puller to remove. £50 later... Next up the...

Just missed one on here yesterday. Hoping someone else might have one going spare before I splurge on a new one! p.s. as a new member you'll need to PM me as I can't start conversations.

I'm interested in the chainring + recorded UK post. Feel free to send me a message!

First proper ride last night! Picked up a matching GB Sprite rear brake on ebay and fitted that along with a 'new' front wheel & Gatorskins from the workshop parts bin. Bike rides beautifully already. I fully intend to give it all a proper strip and service soon. I've had some powdercoating...

A few more bits have happened since these photos were taken, but figured I should add them for posterity. Gave the frame a proper clean! That orange certainly is flamboyant. I've been looking at as many images as I find of CB's from around that time and I suspect it's a Coureur. The head tube...

In my slightly frazzled state last night I was convinced it was white epoxy! So there will certainly be more updates on this one. Not sure I'll be able to resist a respray though, those green lugs really don't do it for me.

Well, this is why it pays to sleep on things. Got up this morning And decided to give the frame another look and a good clean after a bike mechanic I showed the photos to said he would be surprised to see a crack there. Lo and behold... Some paint splatters and ingrained dirt cleaned off and...

Well, that one ended before it began. Thankfully it was cheap and I hadn't got far. If anyone wants the frame as an ornament and is willing to collect it from NE Scotland (or pay to have it shipped) otherwise it's off to the scrappy.

Hi folks. I picked up this bike yesterday from FB marketplace, but struggling to match the serial number with anything in the catalogues. Help would be much appreciated, as well as any insight into the paint job!

Picked up this CB fixed gear in a job lot for £30. Hoping to identify the year/model but struggling to find a match for it in the catalogs. SN 17820. Can anyone offer any insight? Plan to restore it with the help of a local community bike workshop, will post progress here!
