Well, they make a nylon faced hammer. The universal retro skeleton-tool.

Hell of a find.. is that bar/stem combo a Fat fabrication?

Not exactly a response to your request, but I usually supplement my own meagre skills with the contents of the Park Tools guide.. but increasingly these days, I learn from YouTube. Sometimes the details you need to get right don’t leap from the page of a book for me either. Was watching vids...

Might take the chance on a set of brake levers.. would be a bit more circumspect with a set of cranks..

In good condition please 😊

Santa fully committed to retro for me this year..

Hope those decals aren’t lacquered in..

Someone must have. There were 103 watchers.. which is pretty much the entire active and semi-active population of RB 😊

Finally getting my hands on some black m730 cranks.. who knows.. by this time next year, maybe I’ll have completed the build in question..

Eric Your journey to retrobike is not uncommon. Many have come with an old bike, seeking information, or valuation.. but instead left with.. .. well.. most of us never left. You have a cool bike - you could sell it here, easily. Many of the denizens of these parts could have it looking...

Wow. I have exactly the same bike - and story! The fat man also squeezed himself down the chimney with Peugeot Trail for me that year… and I picked a mint one up on eBay only last year to replicate that ‘80s feeling! (Which is to say it rides exactly as I remember.. the less said about the...

The Pink / Black one would be either the Peugeot Trail or Raider.. around 1987. The fat man delivered me a Trail that Christmas. The Laser was blue and white iirc.. Ranger red and white.. So.. The Peugeot Trail was my first, c.’87 (and I managed to acquire another one last year) Then.. 95...

Hey. Sorry to hear about your situation. The forum has a For Sale section, to post kit you wish to move. Be sure to add a price for the bike, or someone will quickly slap you with “forum rules”.. If you are unclear as to value, there is a section at the top of Retro MTB chat entitled “how much...

I think anyone that purchases and incorporates this into a BOTM entry should have an automatic win.

Yup…. And probably a denizen of these hallowed halls 😂

Yes - this is too good to scrap or bin. Assuming there is no serious rust, a few hours work could have a great little bike. Certainly a bargain at £20. Wouldn’t doubt that you could easily sell at a tidy profit after a clean / service, if you were that way inclined.

Wow.. that is a generous donation. Wonder how Chris feels about that. Also.. wonder what else she has..

What won the Show n Shine? Was that a Tomac replica?

Personally I don’t think the frame looks too bad. I would clean and degrease it well and just live with some patina - monitoring to ensure the rust doesn’t get materially worse. If however you are determined to be more proactive.. You’ll have to remove the lacquer, I’m afraid - which means...
