    rear mech cage length

    Which derailleur? Normally you can search to find out. If you have the wrong derailleur you can get a derailleur hanger extender which are relatively cheap if you need to use the derailleur with a wider range rear cassette or are increasing the chainrings on the crankset. Didn't there used to be...

    Evan's catalogue 2002

    Hi, I thought this might be of interest to some people. It's the Saracen page of the Evan's catalogue. Most of the major brands are also featured so if you want anything scanned from this catalogue just say and I'll post it for you.

    Time to move the Retro bar up a bit ... maybe to 2000+?

    Instead of moving the goal posts possibly a 1997 to 2007 section and then in 2027 a 2007 to 2017 section. Just allowing for bikes 10 years old or more. Reading this thread I can see many have a low regard for post 1997 bikes but maybe that is part of the problem alienating those who like their...

    1998 and later catalogue scans etc

    Will this be added at some point. We are getting close to 20 years old for some of these bikes and information is now getting sketchy with catalogues hard to find. I've been trying to find Saracen catalogues and advert scans between 1998 and 2007 with little success. It seems like the <1998 may...

    2 questions - date for retro bike and also Saracen Blitz

    Quick questions by someone who hasn't used this forum much and couldn't find the answer. Does the 1997 date gradually increase upwards to encapsulate younger bikes. I.e. 1997 is currently 20 years ago in 2018 will it be 1998? Also I have a Saracen Blitz and was going to have a look on the...

    Where to find the best Cycling Bargains

    I've bookmarked it but does seem very limited as only a selection of bike shops are searched by the looks of it and more general shopping searchs work better. A quick general search which includes ebay, amazon and other major retailers who sell bicycle parts quickly found better prices on all I...

    Saracen Catalogues 1987 - 1998

    Did the later Saracen catalogues up to 2007 ever get scanned? Those years are now also retro I assume with a few more years passed.

    Anyone know about Hawk bikes?

    Thanks Excel, that's good information. I'm looking to get a old Raleigh Twenty/Stowaway folding bike to restore but if a Hawk like above comes my way I will also nab it.

    Anyone know about Hawk bikes?

    It wouldn't surprise me if the frames were imported if they were a small operation. You can see the union jack on the tube in the image but that could just mean UK assembled but I can't find a connection between Tensor Cycles and Hawk. Cycleking seems to own the 'Hawk' brand in uk and are...

    Anyone know about Hawk bikes?

    It sold for £5. It was at an auction too far for me but just curious about the Hawk bicycle company, can't find much online about them. 36 spoke wheels and a reinforced frame, sort of looks commercial. Anyone able to quench my curiosity? It's a Hawk Consort 20. They were manufactured here in...

    the unofficial 'cool' 1980's Reynolds 531/501 bike thread

    I'm not sure I should be posting, I may not be eligible for this thread but picked up an old Townsend mountain bike at auction in the last few days. http://veterancycleclublibrary.org.uk/n ... brary).pdf I was actually more interested in something else at the auction but was outbid on that...
