Unfortunately, the nature of capitalism means that things are made by cost not quality. I'm generalizing as I'm sure there are companies that value quality but the price tag is only for the wealthy.

Incredible collection! Waiting for more detail pictures ;)

Re: Re: What you've done looks great! Though I have swapped as I got a much lighter stem (one that is on now) UPDATE! Bike is now 8 Speed! Now to make the ratio a little bit better I'm after bigger chain rings - obviously I can't change them on this chain set but on the look out for another...

GOT THEM

Me too! Looks beautiful! I don't think this is a crime at all. It's done so well it looks like a brand new bike.

I managed to get some okay photos today. As you can see the bike is all dirty, but every time I clean it it goes back to previous form after a day of riding - hard to catch up! mmm by CezarsBikes, on Flickr The bike in it's current form Drive train detail by CezarsBikes, on Flickr Drive close...

Looking for cheap Shimano shifters 3x8 speed, have to be V-brake compatible if they are combis. I'll say it again, cheap is what I'm after, doesn't have to be great cosmetic condition but have to work correctly. Interested in combis, rapid 'clicks', thumbies but not grip shift (I don't get...

PM SENT

Redzero that's a way and a half to save a bike! Looks absolutely beautiful. Definitely an inspiration, too bad my paint is too far gone to be as shiny as yours! How do I remove the decals?? Interestingly, I've made plans of respraying the fork black as well to practice before I take on any...

Beautiful! I need to use that dish washer trick, cleaning by hand is way too long

Love the colour scheme. That stem is CRAZY

Re: 1988 Saracen Tufftrax I love it! It's weird but I like it as it is. In the photos if just looks so cool in a condition like this. But I'm sure you can bring it to top notch nick with a rebuild!

Very cool!

Ohh don't worry I enjoy it ahhh Thank you! It takes a lot of time looking for stuff but if you want it you will find it as long as you don't mind things looking less than perfect. It's lovely hearing so many people having stories about an Amazon, and to be honest this is what got me into...

Re: FAT CHANCE Team Yo Eddy Aquafade I have an absolute fetish for those ringle hubs!!! The bike is looking to be a beauty when built up.

I'd like to see more photos before committing is that okay?

Are these V brake? All adjuster threads okay? If so would you do £10 posted?

Built my very first wheel! Shimano Deore XT hub, DT spokes and Mavic 117. it's nice and straight but i think it needs more tension, I did a test ride and it was all good but I will get someone more experienced to have a look. The bike currently sits on a older type Deore LX and a Mavic rim on...

What a save!!! How do you go about taking things from the dump? They got mad at me last time I saw an old frame and tried to take it.

Yeah I will double check with a friend of mine, he works at a garage and has welded his own bike there before. I thought that it looks a bit lesser than Shimano, a bit flimsy. Thanks
