Resurrecting this thread to ask where UK retrobikers are buying shellac from please, and what you're using as a solvent? (I have acetone and white spirit already - would one of those do?)

Post-Easter bumpage.

Haha, yeah, the finishing touch! *hic*

I built up a very luxury commuter in lockdown (l'm loathe to use the word 'restomod' but I guess that is probably the best description) based on a 1995 KHS Montana Comp frame and fork. Went a bit silly with the spec and powdercoat (autumn gold metallic), there is a rundown below. I don't want...

FS two Shimano right hand crank arms, both 175mm. 1. XT FC-M751 Octalink with chainrings. Very good used condition. £28 posted please. Must be just about worth that for the chainrings and bolts alone. 2. XT FC-M750. Square taper. Loads of heel rub and granny ring tabs have been filed off. £12...

Sold :)

Great, thanks very much Gaz - I've sent you a PM.

Shimano PD-M858 SPD pedals These date from 2000, and were a non-series XT/XTR-level pedal - I think released outside the usual groupset lines as they were the first model to work with the SH-52 multi-release cleat (they'll work with any Shimano cleats though) This pair are in great condition...

Shimano XTR ST-M951 brake lever/gear shifters For 3*8 speed drivetrains Weigh 346 grams/pair on my scales These are in good used condition with just a few small scratches here and there - please check photos carefully. Working well with all 3/8 clicks feeling positive on each lever. Would...

No, can confirm I've got them on my Orange, sorry....

How scuffed/scraped are the sides of the pedals (the side opposite the axle, with the DX logo) please?

Thanks, shame - I was hoping the bars were carbon (wishful thinking for £20 I know! Still a decent price but I will pass as I'm on a weight-saving mission).

Hiya - are the bars carbon or alu please? And are the bolts on the stem rusty? Can't quite tell in the photos.

Thank goodness that's too big for me. Is the paint as perfect as it looks? Beauty.

*SADLY GONE TO THE BIG BLUE BIN IN THE SKY AFTER NO INTEREST* Massive pile of Cycling Weekly magazines, far too many to count. Most are from the late 2000s & early 2010s, but some date back to the early/late 90s. A few interesting ones I spotted when taking the photos feature Sean Kelly, Jan...

Nothing to do with me, but I'd consider giving this a punt if it was a 52cm: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133939729664?hash=item1f2f6e1500:g:qiMAAOSwg3hhl~4C

That top cap would have been of great use to me two months ago, d'oh!

Have you still got the Deda 22.2mm convertor (or the Profile one)? I'll take one please.

Bump with some classic Brian Foster footage from when he rode for Schwinn

Now sorted, but thank you.
