Some experience or advice required please! I'm just about finished with a project to restore/renew a 1989 British Eagle Touristique for light touring (And Lejog next year). Really happy with how the bike has come out - it is silent and responsive but obviously no lightweight - a neat trick it...

Re: Hi. Funnily enough I was looking at this myself for the same reason - I think in the end there are two types of Blackburn low-rider? The sexier looking one (custom?) that needs two mid fork bosses and the plainer (non custom?) version which only needs one and would fit the Touristique...

Interested :) Will text you. Cheers.

Apologies for resurrecting this thread but I'm in the process of stripping down an old unloved one of these bikes for a restoration and looking for a bit of help? I rode it around a few times before starting to strip it down and it really felt lovely - smooth and solid but somehow still quite...

Great retro Raleigh cap and sent really quickly - cheers!

Cheers guys. The flat on the rear isnt horrendously bad but no good to ride - not really sure how to go about fixing it though - the rim sidewalls seem ok (not buckled) but the rim is probably 3-4 mm out of round at the low spot. I've backed all the spokes off but the rim is definitely...

Really pleased with my first ever restoration - hope it meets with approval here. Can't seem to upload images from an Ipad ( even though they are less than 2mb?) So here is a link to some before and after images : https://www.btcloud.bt.com/?shareObject ... 5846e9e83b It is a 1977 Raleigh Team...

Re: I'll have the Cinelli 1A stem please.

Re: Always liked the look of these - just cant afford to buy it! Hope you sell it to a good home.

Re: Yes please! PM sent.

I have been looking around for a mavic module E 36h 700c rim to replace a damaged rear (its taken a hit which flatted it at some point in its life so can't see how to true it up) and complete the pair for a restoration project. Had success here on the forum before so thought I'd put the...

Re: Hi Martin, That would be great :) If you let me know how much you'd want for postage and so on I could paypal gift it to your email? (If you are on Paypal?) Cheers! Jeff.

I have one NOS Wolber SL19 'COTON' tyre and am really hoping to find a second tyre to have a pair. Has anybody got a tip on where to look, does anybody have one they might sell - or are there more commonly available period correct vintage alternatives I could look for as an almost new/nos pair...

Re: Cheers guys - that tip off about Gipiemme especially might be just the trick - thank you.

After looking for a bit I've failed to find a Simplex SJA 103 front mech - which is for a triple. It is a part missing from my 1980/81 Peugeot. Are there any period correct alternative mechs I could look for, preferably Simplex? Or, Is it possible to use a double front mech instead, given that...
