I bought these recently for a project but turns out they don't quite have the right amount of drop. Which is a shame because they're very nice. Each lever does have a scratch and the hood on one has a little bit missing but overall they're good and would look good on a retro build. I...

I got the same from a bloke I know who's really into his cycling. He saw my alan and said "oh, you've got the wrong frame there dan" So now having something that's beautiful, stylish and great to ride is wrong? Just because it may go wrong at some point? I'll take my chances i think!

Very nice bike. I think they have a huge amount of style you just don't get with more modern frames. The frame's very similar to mine. I love mine too. The modernisation you've done is in good taste so I wouldn't worry about it. I've gone semi modern myself, went for full alloy campag...

stems already gone mate.

Hi all, I recently got my mum an old dawes horizon. It had drops so I converted it to flat bars because that's what she wanted. It was a huge improvement over her supermarket special £60 POS and she really likes it but... She want's trigger/mtb style shifters like on my brothers MTB...

yeah, think they do. Mines a 1994 though and takes a 27.0 which is not easy to get hold of.

Oh OK, mine needs a 27.0

what size is the seatpost?

it looks a nice bike. I'd try to have it repaired. If you split it, i'll take that seatpost off you.

Ally, the tyres (as you probably know) are panaracer pasela They certainly look the part and seem pretty good on the road. I have however only used them so far for a little more than 20 miles so couldn't give you a particularly in depth opinion.

Thanks for the comments guys. From what I have been able to work out ned the forks were changed at some point because the older style ones broke at the top. I had noticed the headtube was different to others, it is lugged though, it's just that the tube joining them is the same diameter as...

Took it for it's first proper ride today and am pleased with it. It goes well and is pretty comfortable, also it fits me slightly better than my other bike. Considering I just roughly set it up in my living room it will need very few adjustments, little bit of tweaking and we'll be there...
