I don’t sell that much but now that there’s a badge for feedback, I’m totally into feedback! Whatever your feedback, feed it back… 🙏

Oh, oh, oh! Dibs pending extra photos and deets. 🫡

That all sounds sage advice. To be honest, it’s a garage queen now as I retired the poor thing years ago. It definitely earned it. Bought it new in ‘91 and raced / commuted on it for a good 15 years. It’ll probably get the heat and pickle fork treatment next time anyway. So thanks for the tip. 🔥🥒🍴

Aww heck. I keep missing these unicorns. Must 👏Check 👏 Every 👏 Hour 👏

I’m still kicking myself for missing a set of 4-spoke Spinergy RevX Rox wheels on EBay recently. Cosmetically great but with a slight buckle that made them cheap, £299 for a pair I seem to remember. They would have been the final piece for an Orange P7 “wall hanger” bike build to replace the...

Got a few sets of cranky Manitous in the garage I’ve been planing to make into a pair of table lamps. 3D printed a base that uses the forks inherent ability to stand upright plus a QR skewer to keep it all in place. Then had the “genius” idea of using LED strips around the steerer tube instead...

Loving this build. I still have my early-91 Zaskar that I bought new (after a year or two with the Karakoram Purple Haze) and that stem, fork and super-rigid frame combo takes me back to the first ride, 30mph down a rocky farm track and thinking "this is horrific!". Just looking at yours makes...

Sketchy-ass second dibs if something goes wonky. Would make a perfect carrier spindle for my 3D printer reel. 😉

If you have any cranky old Manitou Mk1 forks that are cosmetically ok but not really not fit to ride on, I’m interested. I have one pair already and need a matching set for a pair of lamps. If they’re 1 1/8” steerer, that would be a bonus as it will save on resisting the top fixing gubbins...

Aaaah go on then. Never had any porcs back in the day. PM incoming.

Man, if that was a purple haze, I’d be in the car on the way down already. Yours looks ace. 👌

Didn’t know that doohickey existed. Any time you find yourself using a mallet on a bike, you know something’s gone a bit wonky, but this seems quite elegant.

Massively late to the party… don’t suppose you still have them? Assuming not after 9 months 😉

No worries mate. Thanks for checking! 👌 Still on the hunt if anyone’s got something interesting.

Actually, silver may be the more stylish way to go. Always liked the look of the Ho’s. Somehow simple yet over complicated at the same time. 😂 Mate had some but I seem to remember they snapped half way down some stairs. Landed it though. If it’s not too much faff, would be ace if you could have...

I’m looking to turn a set of ropey (but visually good) Manitou 1s into a lamp. As you do. Saw the photo below online and thought the brakes are a nice touch, but I don’t have any spare cantis that have the gravitas to match the mighty Manni. Long shot, but does anyone have a set of front...

IKR 🥺, but at least I get to lace the next wheel with blue, red AND purple nipples to match my chainring combo. Initially I had mild OCD that 3 colours wasn’t divisible by 32 spokes, but the plan is to go “boomerang”… red, purple, blue, purple… red, so I get 8 repeats of 4 patterns. Geez, I...

SORTED! Replacement wheels on their way. RetroBike FTW. 👌 Mine have the dreaded eyelet crack so want to rebuild. Not super bothered about colour but ideally the blue label versions. 32 hole. Need to be fairly decent nic, and not silly price obvs. 👌 Here’s what I’m dealing with…

I have exactly the same beast in my garage (from new). Took it to a Aston Hill bike park before lockdown and it caused quite a stir (and lots of photos). That’s a damn good price btw. Was tempted as “parts swapper”as I have seized pivot bolt and forks need a rebuild, but <gestures limply at full...
