Hi Max P, I've got a pair of rigid forks with v-brake mounts for sale at the moment which meet the basic criteria. There's the positives, here's the negatives (depending on your point of view!). They're not retro - but modern Surly 1x1s in very good condition. They're 453mm axle to crown which...

Re: Hi Matt, I've got a Kilauea hanging on my wall because it got retired after a car roof/low bridge interface. It's from 96/97 and 19" centre to top of seat tube. The signs of damage are a scrape down the head tube (from the bridge contact) and a big dent in the down tube from the roof rack...

Re: I've still got these wheels sat in the garage if anyone is interested after a price drop. Mikey

Hi, I've gone discs all round so my last set of V's are up for sale. Full set of single digit 5's with speed dial 7 levers. Cartridge pads fitted with a spare pair of non-cartridge Clark's pads included too. All noodles and cables as shown in the photo included. Looking for £25 including...

Looking good indeed - very neat.

Re: Thanks for the advice chaps. I was thinking about getting a pair of plastic ones which would make cross threading pretty easy but would look pretty cheap. I do quite like the industrial look of those hydraulic ones!

Hi, I'm looking for some blanking bolts for the v-brake mounts on my Surly forks. From some internet searching it looks like these aren't standard threads and what I need is some 10mm bolts with 1mm pitch. But this knowledge isn't helping me find any as all the standard ones appear to be 1.25mm...

Re: Bank holiday bump!

This is a pair of wheels I built up myself to try and make something a different but I've soon realised that single speed is not good for my knees having moved to live on the side of a hill. The wheels were built with new Sun-Ringle Rhino Lite rims on DMR Revolver hubs. The front is rim brake...

Re: Any more for any more? Open to offers type bump.

Sure thing, PM on its way.

Re: Crank up

Here are a few bits and pieces that I don't see me using again. All prices include paypal fees and ordinary second class postage. Drop me a PM if you've got any questions. Chainrings 2 sets of shimano 2x10 chainrings. Both sets are 38 and 24 and although one set comes from SLX cranks and one...

I've gone all hollow tech now and so have a couple of cheap retro cranksets to sell. Both have seen some good use but still function all ok and have been in use by me until recently. Shimano STX-RC from around '96 - £10 including paypal fees and postage I've owned these since new when I bought...

2012 Genesis Equilibrium 00 (58cm) - sold Ok, so not retro, but please forgive me with the excuse of a nice steel frame! I bought this bike in late 2012 to use as a commuter when I moved and for occasional Sunday morning rides. It turned out that my move wasn't as far as I thought and so I've...

Re: Thanks for the suggestion, I've contacted Chris D to see if he is interested.

This frame has been lots of fun but it really is too small for me especially now I need to put a baby seat on the back! So it's time to admit it's not right and send it on to another home. It's a vertical dropout DMR Trailstar with disc tab and APS V-brake mounts so can adjust for 24" or 26"...

Re: Good thought. I was looking at a Kona Kula frame which does have full rack mounts. But what you say could apply even more to thin walled aluminium even if it does have mounts. Might need to keep looking.

For the first time today I took my little boy out on a seat on the back of my road bike. It was all a bit twitchy and the braking didn't fill me with confidence so I think I'm looking for something a bit more stable, solid and fatter tyred. I've got most of the parts for a 26" wheel build but...

Re: Yup, shifters and rings still for sale.
