    Raleigh RSP R700 (Reynolds 853) frame/fork set £195 ONO

    That is nice looking :) It's just nice to see some effort gone into the finish (even if it is a love it or hate it scheme!) as opposed to mass produced carbon copies (pun intended). It does seem as though there are a few more of the oversize ones around. Do you know your frame number? Mine...

    Raleigh RSP R700 (Reynolds 853) frame/fork set £195 ONO

    Yes, it's been sold. And delivered. And swooned over :D I do like my quirky bikes, and this'll be built up as a best bike with nice new bits on it, hopefully it rides as nice as everyone says :) Can find feck all information about them though. A bit more info on the oversize tubed frames...

    Brand New KVA Stainless Steel Road Bike & Frame, 54cm &a

    Knew I'd forgotten something! As the storm outside has woken me up, I may as well add these! The weight is a little over 1800g for the 58 and about 1650g for the 54 (note the geometry says 52, but it's definitely closer to a 54). Not bad for a frame that will last a lifetime!

    Brand New KVA Stainless Steel Road Bike & Frame, 54cm &a

    I am selling a bike and a frame. I wouldn't normally post something like this on here, but I noticed interest in Stainless Steel on here a while ago, so thought it may be of interest. I'm asking £2200 for the bike, but will come down for retrobike people as it's served me well in the past...

    Hi Rich If it's any interest, I don't mind building them up for you as a freebie if you've got the hubs and spokes you want, or I can get the spokes :)

    Couple of retro books!

    Having a clearout and instead of giving these to the charity shop, I thought I may as well see if anyone wants them here first. The Ultimate Mountain Bike Book by Nicky Crowther Lots of great pics of retro bikes, and covers everything from bike setup to touring routes, to techniques...

    FiR IMPES 192 rims

    Same old story, never got around to using these and now have different plans. They are one pair of FiR IMPES 192. One is 32h & one is 36h ~480g each good braking surfaces, hardly worn decals all intact Good strong rims, renowned for their strength and stiffness. Apparently it's best to...

    P7 Frame, forks + headset 17" SOLD

    1" forks/headset and I've not tried but I assume it to be the Orange seatpost size of that era - 26.4 I believe.

    P7 Frame, forks + headset 17" SOLD

    I bought these a few months ago, but the usual story - plans changed and other things now take priority. It's a 17" 1995 P7, all the decals have been removed ready for frame refurb. There are a couple of areas with rust patches where the usual lacquer has worn away, but only minor surface...

    17" Orange P7 For Sale/Pace, STX RC, Mavic SUP, Flite t

    I'm so on the border of saying yes to the bike (have been since it was listed) as it has pretty much everything I want to build up the smaller frame I have :? Are you able to post it? I don't mind how stripped down it comes.

    muddy fox bike info

    It's got some pretty nice kit on it. I used to sell a later incarnation of these, which were a big old downgrade from that spec, but that one is nice :) I'd say a lot of parts have been changed over during it's life so difficult to tell how it started off. Maybe someone will know though. I...
