Because i never expected to see someone asking about some thing i did 20 years ago. I do some where have a staged photo of me and some mates being kicked out of Deacon Brodies as this was just after Trainspotting had come out.

Yes, unfortunately your best bet is to call them as the system was set up for the US and some European serial numbers ( as they have to be CE marked) dont fit the automated system. Once i got through to some one it was fine

This thread or more particularly @Shaggy1979 pictures has freaked me out. I was at Napier from 95 till 2000 living around Morningside and Gorgie but i flew Kites down Holyrood especially at night so YES just over 20 years ago i did ride through your picture. I do ride to the pub at night but...

IMHO that's a keen price GLWS and if the new owner wants some advice on welding it i have had 1 done and done one myself. Once sorted they are a very fast bike and great as a city / gravel bike (or what ever they are called these days).

The frame yes but silver forks no, as mentioned thought they were all gold? But not a common bike so could be they were trying out colours.

@hoppy58 Thanks for the info and a new lead to try. As for the Pro-lite its my clunker and is very nimble and fast. The rear Spinergy has split so the y have come off.

Can i stand up for those of us who just abuse our work space and never really clear it up ? Just add more junk to an ever increasing probate nightmare. 20220629_203750 by creativeq, on Flickr 20220629_203759 by creativeq, on Flickr 20220629_203816 by creativeq, on Flickr

Cheers i will keep this in mind

My Big chainring 12 speed Moulton has got stuck as i need a nice 80's / 90's Crank set. It needs to be 135 BCD not bothered if 170 or 175, square taper. Posted or can collect up to an hour from Oxford. Was going with this Miche comp which is the exact look just the wrong BCD

@MatBH5 PM inbound

I am building a Moulton with added gears and as such need various bits and bobs. Looking for that older school feel with engraved rather than decal'ed parts. This won't be a serious rider just something to tinker with. Wanted: Drop bar Brake Levers top exit for the cables not Aero 28 Hole Hubs...

I have finally managed to get my Moulton F Frame project on the go and I need some brakes. Anything 80's engraved or drilled going for that amateur racer look . Old 600 arabesque type feel. Would prefer levers and calipers but would consider either on there own.

Are these still using up much needed space at your abode ?

Sorry i am not in on Saturday you will have to drop it off on Sunday, or i could leave the money in an envelope in a milk bottle by the back door???

YES FLIPPIN' PLEASE, Latest acquisition is an F Frame Moulton which is going 5 speed using a VX GT rear derailleur so this is a match made in heaven.

The std. Length is ~34mm but there is a longer length from memory its about 3mm longer when I rebuilt my spinergys the thread had gone in the hub so I wanted the longest bolt possible to fit an adaptor. No idea why there is a longer length.

Have a Bump on me as @BlackCat your comments (made me laugh out loud) and are so true yet often hidden on forums were technical nous and mechanical empathy / ability are only 1/2 the story. I just love riding is as much of a validation as pulling stuff apart . I like to pull stuff apart thou.

https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/cannondale-mountain-bike-large-frame/1416196994 If any one could pick this up and get it closer to Farnham or Oxford i would throw them sum beer money. Other wise if any one is local who wants it, surely a bargain.

I think we all agree that for every one good bike there are going to be at least 10 scrappers ( More likely to be a far higher number). So the key part is that the tip keeps working and is not over flowing so must move every bike it gets in. That will be factored into the next stream buyers...
