Re: Can you collect a bike from Bourne? Just have a long hard think what you are asking of someone....

70mm is Italian thread and won’t fit as it’s a different diameter & different thread pitch Maybe you’re thinking of a 73mm bb? It would sort of work, with as you said the l/h cup sticking out a bit

Re: How about a Christopher Ward? Cheaper than the big brands, but some gorgeous watches to drool over

I would not thread lock it The hex bolt head is made of a lightweight (soft) alloy Very likely you would round the bugger off Plenty of over tightened maxles (all brands) have had to be replaced on bikes that I’ve seen come through our workshop

I am trying to keep up with the deluge of spam at the minute I don’t have a huge amount of time to keep our corner of the internet clean I haven’t been able to remove all the spam this morning, so I apologise for any that is left behind Sorry guys/girls I have to go and enter the real world...

I still have my ‘88 Santa Cruz Jeff Grosso ‘Alice’ deck Quite rare as it was pulled due to copyright issues

Avoid any with avid juicy or elixir brakes, they need bleeding every year or so to keep them from pumping up with air in the system, I have bled loads of them in our workshop & some have come back multiple times before being swapped out for shimano brakes

Merida make the specialized Without having time to look into it right now, generally as a rule the Merida bikes always are good value Good build quality (2nd largest frame producer in the world) & a lifetime frame warranty I service a pair of 16,000 mile crossways regularly (16,000 miles...

It’s as above a 10th anniversary clockwork 1998/9 model Not worth a huge amount but well worth keeping due to its condition I have one and it rides really well

Elvedes 7x7 cables are super flexible I’ve not seen anything else that is as bendy in my many years in the trade

Anything like it on kinetic bike bearings website?

Try kinetic bike bearings website We use them in the workshop, they certainly know their stuff

Re: 1993 KHS Montana Pro Love the way they ride, my ‘93 is (almost) catalogue spec, clicky link in signature below

That Majorca looks very similar to the falcon I have Mine has shimano arabesque shifters and mechs, what does yours have?

2003 orange gringo, I had one in gloss black wish I’d never sold it :(

Have a look at Merida, 2nd largest manufacturer in the world, very good bikes their 96 model rides very well according to my boss who had 2 of them As for quality all new merida’s come with a lifetime warranty, which speaks volumes
