Re: I also have one of these on the way, frameset only in 56cm. It'll be interesting to compare it side by side with SB5817 which is pretty much the same size and geometry, though different in some details like fastback stays. I opted for the frameset rather than the full build, partly for...

Hi folks, I managed to lose the pad retaining pin off one of the brakes destined for my better half's bike. I know they can still be bought in pairs but does anyone have just one lying around? Otherwise I'll head off to ebay to have a pair - at least that way I'll have a spare the next...

Bump, still looking …

Hamster - you have PM.

Would be great if you could check! No big rush though.

Hi guys, I have a pair of Mavic 430 SSC levers in not-great condition as can be seen below. The hoods are junk and the blades are scuffed, but could be touched up. The biggest problem is that one of the lever bodies is quite badly cracked and should be replaced. Does anyone know if I...

Hi folks, I'm looking for a single part from a Magura Hydrostop assembly, as circled in the picture below. Black or silver doesn't matter and I have other parts including pads potentially available to swap. Anything out there?? Cheers, Gareth.

Hi folks, I'm looking for a rear 8-speed shifter to pair up with a front 3-speed MC41 on a friend's commuter. The matching pair would be this one: so I'd prefer this model purely for cosmetics! Does anyone have one lying around? Cheers, Gareth.

Re: I have a set of part worn pads that you can have. I also have a spare QR in case you need one. I'm looking for one particular clamp part myself in case you have one:

Re: Are you looking for clamps like these? I have a spare set including bolts, plus 4 part-worn pads. Cheers, Gareth.

Re: That's what you call thread resurrection! just over a month shy of 10 years ... I can't even remember exactly when I sold the bike, but I'd guess around 2012. I can't say I don't regret setting it, but I needed the space, and the money helped at the time. Thanks for the links though...

Hi, I'm also looking for a Precision, either frame only or full build. PMs incoming to you both, but I'm not going to tread on the OP's toes! Cheers, Gareth.

I have a setup of Avid Speed Dial 7 and Shortys on my commuter bike. With the lever dialed in as far as they can go they're fine for a 7km commute mostly on very quiet roads or cycle paths. I wouldn't want to rely on them for an emergency stop, though, and for that reason I equally wouldn't rely...

Hi folks, I have a Magura Marta lever and caliper, and I'd like to turn them into a brake! I have a spare hose and load of spare parts. In the upper photo below I've circled the different fittings at the lever and caliper ends. The attachment to the lever is a regular threaded insert like...

Hi folks, If any of the Pace ones shown in some of the earlier photos are available, then I need a pair. Apologies for the hijack! Cheers, Gareth.

Hi folks, I need a couple of brake spare parts, ideally from a Mafac S rear caliper, though parts from other brakes may work. First I need a rear brake bolt. The caliper I have has the vertical mount for obscure French frames, as shown here (on a Racer caliper, not an S): The bolt...

Re: Re: Since you're in Leics then I can recommend Matt at Total Blast Services http://totalblastservices.com/ I just got a steel road frame back from him and I'm very happy, especially at the price. I'll try to take some photos over the weekend. He prefers to stick with RAL colours so that...

In principle - yes. In practice - no not really. I've seen people riding on modern bikes with brifters and clipless pedals. It's arguably not inthe spirit of the even - but as you say clipless pedals were becoming widespread before the fairly arbitrary cut-off date so it's a slightly vague area...

Hi folks, I've updated an older thread about last year's (non-)event: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=364107#p2849893 The 11th Retro Ronde is in 2 weekends' time so if you're planning on riding then let's try to meet up! Cheers, Gareth. (Mods - if this is considered cross-posting then please...
