Perry - you still after a 2.5" PATA HDD? Paul..

Thanks for that info - didnt realise it was the same as a Karakoram - would have thought that had a higher spec. Im going to try to get the original kit off and set up properly first - cleaning, new cables and lubrication should do the trick with that and then see where to go with it. The wife...

Yes reflectors will be coming off.. Brakes are a little dodgy I must say. Might just be the brake blocks need changing for koolstops or similar and the cables changing / levers greasing etc but theyre really not good at the moment! It has a U brake on the back - can these be as good as...

Just bought a 1991 Tequesta in Purple Haze for the wife. Its got a few scrapes etc as usual for an older bike but its is very original condition with no dents or major damage. Now Im in a quandary - didnt realise it was quite so original spec wise - its got Suntour XCE and X1 componentry...

Im in the same position as you (as youd have seen at the Sherwood Pines meet...). Started back last October after a 12 year layoff of virtually all exercise. Weight is coming off slowly but much more importantly to me, my fitness is going up. Back in March, riding to SP, doing the red route and...

Im 5'10 and ride a 17" Eldridge Grade - link in my sig. I would have thought a 20.5" would have been a 6'2 minimum - maybe even more than that. Paul..

Yup... Will be quite an old one mind you - will dig one out and get it tested.. Paul..

Im sure I will have one.. call round after the next meet up.. Paul..

Well despite my comments last Wednesday about having a weekend off due to guests, it seems like the girls want to go shopping so the men can go and play on the bikes.. Therefore I reckon on Sherwood Pines tomorrow (as its closeby) then Sunday off and probably a decent length ride on Monday...

Will probably be onsite with work until gone 6.. However if I manage to swap things about and get out early then I will see you there at 6ish. Paul..

Yup, still use them Never got on with SPDs BITD and now enjoying them as being retro! Paul..

Well mine does seem to fit.. M44HAC152 for a 1994 Marvel Eldridge Grade in 17" Paul..

Sold Sold to Mark!

The 1994 Eldridge Grade was 7 speed not 8 speed and used the M563-B cranks in compact drive. Believe it was 1995 groupset year that they switched to 8 speed. Paul..

Would have loved to but got a friends wedding this afternoon and therefore really wont be feeling like riding in the morning I suspect... However, quite possibly up for a Sunday ride somewhere if anyone fancies tagging along with a slow coach! Paul..

So less of the naming and more of the riding? Anyone fancy a blast round Pines tonight - from say 6ish? Paul..

Call it a tenner for the BB (as its virtually brand new, fitted and the right length) so thats £85 for the lot. Im in Mansfield (M1 J29). Im guessing postage will be around £15 but Id just charge cost for that and I have a bike box to send the frame in already. Hi Dave - going to give Mark...

I didnt get a PM from you! Paul..

Im after a set of good condition 175mm cranks with the compact drive pattern (5 bolt 94mm). Id ideally like a set of black M563 LX but M563 LX or M737 XT in silver would also be OK. Cheers Paul..

Thanks for that - Im an 87.5 effective leg length so that reinforces the idea of 175mm cranks.. Paul..
