I'm looking for a pair or L/H 'Climber' shifters. I need one for my mid 80's Ridgeback, but the only other reference I can find is in a Retrobike post from 2011. Look very similar to Suntour LD-2800, so they would do at a pinch, but I'd like it to be right if I can. Anyone seen anything similar...

I'm on the lookout for some Manitou FS Ti forks to finish my build, as I replaced my broken ones with some '02 Judy's & it's just not right. Anyone seen a set recently? The SX seems easier to find, but I'm struggling with the FS

I've got some if you're stuck, whereabouts are you & how many do you need?

Very long shot, but I'm on the lookout for a pair of RST 500 air sprung forks from '93. They were OEM kit on my Ridgeback, so I'd like to find a set or something very similar, 1 1/8" threaded, but anything considered

I've recently decided to try & put my old Ridgeback back to it's former glory. I've had an email back from Ridgeback with a scan from the brochure & think I should be able to find most of the missing bits, all except for the forks. It came with 'Powerfork RS3's. Has anyone seen any of these in...

I've got a pair of the tyres somewhere. Not in perfect condition, as used to use them as 'cross tyres on my mountain bike, but perfectly useable

I believe MBUK tested my 1st ever mountain bike back in June '93 &^ I'd love to track a copy down if I can, or any other test/review or info for a Ridgeback 706RS. If anyone has this issue, or anything like I'd be very grateful.

I know, looks horrific! I've taken the silly bars & stem off now & put something a little more sensible on it. Even though I might never ride it, I couldn't have it in the shed looking like that!

I've been given a Raleigh Avanti, not a model that instantly springs to mind when thinking about retro Mountain bikes, but it's got some cracking kit on it, full XT, even down to the headset & seat post. Th only things that don't look original to me are the saddle & bars. Does anyone know...

I can do, can you PM me your email address as it's not in your profile

Hi, I'm not 100% sure what length they are, but I'll check as soon as I get in from work & post up some pictures

If you PM me your address I'll find one & send it out to you

You might have lost one of the spacers that sits between the sprockets. Have a check to make sure there is one between each one. The last to are normally bult into the sprockets themselves. If you've got any missing, I've got plenty of spares. If they are all there, you'll sometimes need a 1mm...

I will do, just have to pull it out of the shed & take some 1st. I'll be on the lookout for bits to put that & the Ridgeback back to standard when I've got some more £££

Hello, thought I'd better come along & join in. I've got a couple of old things to ride at the moment, my 1st mountain bike, a '93 ish Ridgeback 706, a '97 Zaskar & an old rough Kona singlespeed that I rescued from a skip at work! So hello! :)

Sorry I can't help, but nice bike, I've got an old 706RS tucked away & would love to find a standard one, or put mine back if I could find the bits.

I work in a little tin pot bike shop just north of nottingham 6 days a week & photograph in my spare time for a bit of extra cash
