    1970's Raleigh Merlin - Information required.

    Hi All I just got my grubby mits on this little beauty. Can anyone tell me the year of manufacture and a little background about it please? I'm going to restore it 'As Is' and use it as my work bike for a while. The seat post was free and the dynamo and bulbs still work hehehehe

    Stuck Seat Post - Slide Hammer Loan Request.

    I have to at least give it a try myself. I'm not shy of spending money on something like this but I need to have a crack at it.

    Update, I just got the slide hammer from my friend. Now I need to make the tool end clamp thingie to hold onto the hole in the seat post. I just need a lenght of steel bar, maybe 1.5" wide and 3mm thick.

    Stuck Seat Post - Slide Hammer Loan Request.

    I have a friend at hand, he's helping me make a tool which secures to the end of the slide hammer, it will be a U shaped steel tool with a bolt through it. The bolt will be put through the seat post as the post already has a hole drilled through it, I'll then use the slide hammer to try and pull...

    Stuck Seat Post - Slide Hammer Loan Request.

    I do have a full time job, family and a wife you know. Plus the lack of slide hammer is a hindrance. The frame is still soaking in plus gas until I get the slide hammer as a good soaking is doing no harm. I'm on the verge of asking Admin to close this post. I didn't realise it would cause bad...

    Stuck Seat Post - Slide Hammer Loan Request.

    Update for all. The frame is still in the garage with the seat tube full of Plus Gas. I'm leaving it there for another week or so before trying again to free the seat post. I'll use a slide hammer first then resort to the hack saw method which I have used with success in the past on another frame.

    1988 Specialized Rockhopper yellow paint colour?

    Hi all I'm struggling to find a yellow 1988 Rockhopper which is annoying as i've had five of them over the years. I managed to find myself a blue one in the 19.5" frame size I need for a commuter / work bike so my question is at this point, how do I identify the yellow Rockhopper colour from...

    Sold 1988/87 (Maybe) Saracen Trekker 'Double U' complete bike 22" frame.

    Hi all I recently bought this classic with plans to fully renovate it but sadly when it arrived it was too tall for me at 22". I've decided to pass it on and I'm only wanting to get my money back from my purchase. I'm asking for £90 and that will include delivery. From what I can see it's...
