Thanks, that might work if I use a slightly higher rise bar and angle it a bit more forward- i’ll send a pm 👍 Still interested if there’s anything else out there though😁

I’m looking for a 21.1mm quill stem for a mid 80’s inspired build. Ideally something aluminium in the style of suntour sr or any of the sr mts range 120mm would be ideal but will consider anything between 100-135mm Thanks

well that was quite the rabbit hole I've spent most of the day following... I think the Fuji/Toyo frames are probably better quality than this one, from what I have seen all the fastback frames have a shorter lug, a 'nicer' shape to the top of the stays/clamp and vertical dropouts, this one is...

That’s one of the pics I found and is why I thought it could be an Emmelle, but all the pics I can find of the double u brake models have alloy suntour style stems and risers, if this one has been upgraded to the current spec then why would the bars, stem and bar ends be ‘upgraded’ to heavy...

I've bought another mystery bike for under £20 from facebook marketplace, advertised as a 'cheap bike' for the princely sum of £18 I could see it had a front U Brake so obviously had to have it. Although it looks like it's spent several years at the bottom of a canal at one stage in its life it...

I've sent you a message re a white lightnin"

So I found a Raleigh White lightnin' on marketplace last summer, thread here, I'd really like to keep it but no matter how many times I ride it I have to accept it's too big for me, I've tried every bar and stem combo in the spares box but can't get a riding position that agrees with my back...

Cinelli Ottomilauno - I think it's a 1986, Columbus Offroad tubing, full M730 XT groupset.

I had to resort to welding a park bb tool to the bottom bracket trying to remove a very very stuck BB from my 2004 Kona explosif recently, I'd initially bolted the tool in but managed to strip the teeth twisting the frame with the tool in a vice. Even after getting it all red hot it still took...

No, other side of Leicester - a bit north of Hinckley

😂 It's not so much beginning as starting again... I spent about 15 years working in bike shops before escaping and getting a (slightly more) proper job, not the best paid industry for buying lots of bikes though even with good staff discounts, since leaving I've fully scratched that itch 😂. Had...

So.... I've had a chance to tinker some more... New pins for my pin spanner arrived in the week, as did some 90's style neon bits. Family duties dealt with and I've had a few hours today to play with the bike some more. Bottom bracket was very stiff to remove so I've chased and faced the...

A few more....

DSLR batteries are flat so apologies for phone pics! I wasn't ready to fit my last new pair of retro tyres but I had some crossmarks kicking about so fitted them and went for a blast up the road, it really is a race bike that wants to be thrashed! Think I might have to strip it down and...

Thanks for the replies, I've annoyed the mrs by spending the last 3 hours in the garage cleaning and adjusting everything 😁 The good news is that everything seems to be in really good condition and an hour with a bottle of t-cut has brought some shine back to the paint, looking at the bits that...

Long time lurker but first post, I've been into mountain bikes since the mid 80's and have a soft spot for pre 90 bikes, my current retro rig is a 88 Cinelli ottomillauno with full m730 xt. I wasn't really after another bike but while idly scrolling through Facebook marketplace yesterday I came...
