Re: It's a long shot, but are any of the plastic lefts still available?

Having a bit of a clear out. Orange Stalk stem 130mm long from a 1993-1994 Orange Clockwork £25 posted Ritchey ForceLite T6 bar 565 mm long £10 posted More photos here https://www.flickr.com/photos/122409822 ... 807292245/ Happy to meet to collect around Twickenham to save postage.

Everything is original and is in fair condition. It used to be my old commuter bike when I didn't appreciate the value of retro-bikes so there are scrapes on the paintwork and decals, and one very small dent on the underside of the top tube 10 mm across and 1.5 mm deep. I only noticed it when...

Re: Thanks for the responses. I'll give my Fox forks a go and see how it handles, but I'll certainly bear Pace in mind (I've wanted a set since I was a lad).

Mine happens to have a 1 1/8 rigid fork in there at the moment.

I'd like to get some suspension forks for my Vitamin T, can any of you suggest a decent retro fork for canti brakes? I'd also like some modern forks suggestions that might work with it, I have some Fox Floats that I could throw on, but I'm not sure what to watch out for in terms of a fork...

Re: Bottecchia Frameset Columbus Genius late 80's unused bea Photos please

Gutted that I missed one on eBay today, does anyone have one or know where any NOS might be?

Wow, I didn't expect quite so many replies or that so many would like the colour. @Old Ned, here's a side view of the shifters. Sorry for the poor photo, they were just at the top of a side view of the frame. They seem to be an additional wide flange washer that sits over the shifter. I'd not...

Thanks Shaun! I'll keep me eyes peeled

Is that the style of pedals from the mid-70s? I thought they looked different to that. @Midlilfe, are you suggesting the 70s style clipless death pedals? :shock:

If Old Ned has a larger copy of the MKM advert I'd love to see what the Professional looks like.

Well my wife thinks i should keep the colour, but I'm the chap who'll be riding it. I think you're right about it being past the point where a bit of oil will sort it out. How long did it take lilac to grow on you?

This was my father-in-laws which he's owned since new, and gave to me a few months ago after I expressed an interest in road riding. The paint is pretty beaten up and I was wondering whether it should it be preserved or restored? I'm not a huge fan of the colour so was going to have it...

Picking this up very late, but if it has a frame number on the bottom Robin over at http://www.mkm-cycles.co.uk might be able to help you put a year to it.

Arthur Metcalf set them up with Wes Mason (the 2 M's). Ron Kitching provided some funding for it from what I've read and was the landlord of Chapel works where they made the frames. The chap who runs http://www.mkm-cycles.co.uk tells me that he has a register of 58 MKMs that are left. My...

There's also this site that has a bit of information: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/British_isles/MKM/MKM_main.htm Do you have any photos of your MKM?

Thanks to everyone for being so welcoming to the first timers, I had a great time and look forward to doing some more next year. Only a took a few pics, but here they are...

This is a ride with the crowd that I generally ride with, we meet at Boxhill & Westhumble Station at 10:30, and generally ride over Ranmore to Holmbury to have lunch at Peaslake. Then either up Pitch or Winterfold and back to the station for 16:00-17:00. I'll be driving out from Twickenham if...

ameybrook's Yeti is gorgeous, and a bike that I'd love to have; but my vote goes for zinnerman's Explosif, what a sterling effort to get that restored.
