Thanks That's really useful. I think the larger chain ring also needs replaced. Hopefully the freewheel is OK. Thanks again Darren

Hi The chain on my Mercian is jumping about and i've been advised to get a new chain. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Hi The other half has bought a road bike and is in need of road shoes. They don't need to be pink, covered in flowers............ Many thanks Darren

Hi Thanks for the pics but it's not quite what i'm looking for. Still searching!

Different things work for different people and i'd encourage you to get more exercise, try to get a handle on the type of thoughts you're having and how you can challenge them. What sorted me was getting an understanding of how your mind works, learning techniques to relax (meditation was...

Hi I'm on the lookout for a small kona (ideally 14inch). I'm unsure if this 2002 Nunu is 14 or 16. What do you think? Many thanks Darren

Small Kona Steve i've PM'd you rosterq, many thanks for the reply but 16 inch is too big. I'll keep an eye out on the for sale thread though Many thanks Darren

Have you seen this? http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=209266 Hi Yes thanks, that's a very nice bike but it's at least a 16 inch frame. d

Still looking type bump

Yes, i've seen those frames and that may be an option. I'll have another look but i'd imagine there may be differences with things like bottom bracket sizes, headset sizes and this obsession people have with disc brakes. I suppose the best way forward is costing these within the options as it...

Many thanks for the replies. A 16 inch kona is just too much of a stretch for the wee man. I think i've seen that Trek on here and as Roy Walker would say on Catchphrase, 'it's good but it's not right'. He's sold on the idea of a kona and though i've toyed with the idea of sticking some...

Hi Our eldest boy is starting to outgrow his 20 inch wheeled bike and i need to source either a 24 inch or 26 inch wheel bike (should have a 14 inch frame with the 26 inch wheels). I'd prefer steel but being nine, he's more worried about other things so aluminium would also do the trick...

1996 lava dome Hi Yes it's been sold to become a single speed in london. Nearly killed me having to sell that bike, but there you go....... Darren

1996 Lava Dome sold PP

Hi I need to sell one or both of my lava domes to pay chiropractor bills. I bought the 1992 from clockworkgazz a while ago and it's in good nick for a 20 year old bike, and mostly original. The 1996 has a few upgrades/ non standard bits. Some more info on it here -...

Mid 90s Kona Hi How about this as an option.......... http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... highlight= Darren

Clockwork Thats a good buy. Someone in NI should do the decent thing and set up a Norn Iron branch. There must be quite a few of us lucky enough to live in the greenest corner of these Islands. Darren

LX rapid fires Can i have those LX shifters please?

Hi Does anybody have one surplus? Darren

For my mid 80s mercian. Right now it has record hubs with arc en ciel superchampion tubular rims. I really need a set of clinchers though. Ideally similar spec to what i've already got. And, if they come with a five speed free wheel, that's all the better :!: Many thanks Darren
