Thanks guys! Hopefully with all this advice and bits wanted and bought I'll be able to put up some pics of a finished bike soonish and maybe enter into the cheapo BOTM comp! Ian

Johnrock/CK - definitley don't need the purple post so feel free to haggle away over it! Ian

Scant - any details on the bars? Are they old skool or new stuff? Width? Approx weight? Cheers, Ian

Jonrock - waiting on pics of the blue post, will let you know soonish whether I'm going to go for it or not. CK - will probs go for the blue post but will let you know when I have so the purple is freed for you! Thanks guys! Ian

WTD - USE seatpost - 25mm, medium-long (350mm+), old style clamp, silver/blue/blackally or titanium post... in good to perfect condition (in terms of scratches etc) though don't mind about sticker condition. Ian

True - I'm renovating a skip found Scott Timber from 1992 (check out that biopace Shimano 100GS groupset!) into a singlespeed for my girl. Looks like it will have to be USE... Anyone got one for sale? Ian

Thanks! Not just me thats bamboozled then...

Hmmm, I was interested too but not so sure now... The 1984 was aparently taken from the frame number and clearly wrong! What are the differences between ti and steel in terms of frame butting and cables stops then? And does the fact it seems to say 505 on the top tube mean anything? ian

Wanted: 1 - sloped syncros topcap to fit old (first generation?) syncros ahead stem with sloping top. 2 - 25.8mm seatpost - preferably no layback, longish and silver/ti (syncros would be ideal but not sure if they were made in this size) 3 - flat bars - ti, or polished silver/black/dark...

Has anyone heard of a decent quality (pimpy or semi-pimpy!) 25,8mm seatpost? Ideally no layback, decent length and in silver - a syncros polished ally or ti would be perfect! If not - what else is available? Lots of hits for Kalloy on google and not much else! If anyone has one for sale I'd be...

I'm having trouble working out which dynatech models were ti and which not. Did a google search, got some info from here (!) but the link to german catologue scans of a 91 raleigh cat didn't want to work...The bits on this bike are really low end, there appears to be rust on the headtube, it's a...

Are these all the same? There is one advertised on chainreactioncyles but it says they are for the hinged stems - I want one to fit on an old cattlehead stem with the two bolt non-hinged bar clamp. Will it fit? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... delID=5359 Alternatively, anyone...

Hmmm, so I want to fit a retro fork to the front of my girls 'secret' SS project bike (i found it by the side of the road a few days ago and will get it mostly sorted while she's away on business). Nothing special, a steel Scott, low end, from the early 90's, but I digress... I've got two...

Simon - really interested in the king wheel, and xtr cranks - please email me (iancorfe AT hotmail DOT com). Ian

Messiah - hold the pics, I think I've sorted it! Was attempting to use two knurled bolts and two T pieces as that was what I had, and it obviously didn't work. Now with one of each and the addition of an allen bolt, it all seems good to go. Thanks for the advice, it's been bugging me for ages...

Hi - photos would be superb! I suspect that I've got too many of some parts and not enough of the correct ones - there are two complete sets of clamps with the post, two knurled bolts, and two of the threaded 'T' shaped nuts, so I've been trying to put these all together! So it should be just...
