Dear Forum, Whilst I'm stuck at home my friend has dropped off his old Harry Hall 531 bike to look over. It's pretty corroded but I think it can be salvaged. It has Shimano 600 throughout, looks like circa 1983 (that's a wild guess). 6 speed rear hub, so it's likely still narrow spaced at the...

Re: Thanks very much for getting back to me. Ironically I sold an early C40 frame a little while ago as I wasn't riding it very much. It was a nice bike, but I also have a Master X-lite and couldn't justify having two Colnago's in the stable. It does seem a shame to have a such a lovely...

I have the remnants of a 9 speed Dura Ace groupset (chainset, bb, english and italian) plus a whole range of circa 1998 parts. It seems a shame not to use it, but they do not recover much at auction. What frame would you guys look to obtain to hang these parts on? I want to do another...

I'm looking for a small v brake Kona frame to build up for my daughter. Am not bothered by colour, but ideally seeking a light frame, so either a higher end steel model or an aluminium frame. I'm also open to considering a complete bike if somebody has something they need to move on. Thanks...

Re: Dear Jono, I've been quoted £150 from a team in Ashford, Kent. As I live in Sheffield, I would have thought I'd be able to find someone closer, but to no avail so far. Thanks for the tip. Stuart

Re: Is this still available? I am tempted but am a little over biked at the moment. Thanks, Stuart

Re: Dear Wressus, Thank you for getting back to me. Have you noticed any great change in performance? I ask because I have a master Olympix x -lite that I'm restoring. The threaded chrome forks are starting to rust so I was weighing up having them polished and rechromed (estimate £180) or...

Dear Retrobikers, Thank you for the advice. I agree that triple chainsets are not the way to go, unfortunately this will leave me with an almost complete Dura Ace 7703 groupset to dispose of..... Now whether to make the change to Campagnolo is another big decision. Best wishes, Stuart

Re: What fork did you change to. I’m considering doing the same to my x-lite, but am struggling to find a suitable fork. Thanks, Stuart

Dear Forum, I'd appreciate some advice: I have a lovely Colnago Master olympix x-lite with Shimano 8/9 speed dura ace components. The problem is I live in Sheffield and the 39-23 low gear combination is just too hard for me to haul around the Peak district. I'd love to keep the look of the...

Re: Dear Mike, Might have something, depending on whether you want double or triple and whether you want something for parts or working. I need to check my parts bin, but I know I have at least two sets of 9 speed STI Dura ace levers. pm me and I'll dig into the garage. Stuart
