    Help identify triple triangle lugged frame?

    Pretty frickin' sweet! I'm not 'green', but I've never seen rear derailleur internal routing like that - not on nuffink, ever! If it were bigger I'd ask if it were for sale

    Wanted Pace RC20 Middle Chainring 110 BCD.. Pretty Please with a Cherry on Top

    Call Mick at Madgetts - he had some hanging on his chainring pegs - not new, but you never know - he's very helpful and will have a good look for you. As it's middle, a little bit of wear would be less noticeable anyway? Worth a call. You never know, he might have a new one.

    Help ID this frame

    Try rubbing a very fine pencil over some nice thin paper over that decal - you never know, it might reveal something! Otherwise, it's a (non-ally) Zaskar!

    NOS zipp 515 rims

    A pair possibly sold on RB in 2015 - 28 hole though, so maybe more desirable (?) - built, but not used - for £200....so, with the passage of time....who knows?! I read they're well over 500g each - quite heavy beasties. Cool enough though. If you don't want to pay Ebay fees and wish to get...

    Depaint project | 1988 Stumpjumper

    Try some nail varnish remover - it might not seem to work at the beginning but I found it removed 'rattle-can' paint after a while, leaving tougher 'factory' paint/ polyurethane still attached. I then went to the local hardware store and got a big can of acetone - the pure active ingredient in...

    Nice little British project - Venom Sabre/ Sabre Venom

    Fair enough - it's no Pace or maybe no Overburys but delving a little deeper it might have some local pedigree https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/venom.239898/ a nice 653 frame on there and another with a jazzy paintjob - handbuilt by some guy called Matt. I don't reckon it's $hite - just a bit...

    Nice little British project - Venom Sabre/ Sabre Venom

    I agree postage kills it, but 'fat-ish; tubes, 1 inch headset, nice seatpost clamp, could go lairy with pale pink paint with a paler pink sponge paint job....that's what I'd do!

    If you HAD to choose new V brakes for a Retrobike?

    Thought I'd have a look-see at SJS which for me often have lots of stuff that could be useable - I was maybe expecting more choice, but V-brakes are now a bit dead I suppose - it's all about discs now innit? There's not much in this small selection that stirs any girdles...

    Current Collection

    Yes, you do need help. Help sourcing more! Nice collection. Where is the grey Karakoram from - I don't think I've seen that colourway before?

    Badging up an unknown frame, etiquette

    You could call it something - like 'Whirlwind' - yes, I know, don't laugh - but something. I've an unknown 50's ladies fillet brazed frame lovely and light, no idea who made it - the plan is to get H Lloyd to do some downtube decals in a 50's script saying 'Pipistrelle', with a 'P' as a...

    Minty Falcon K2 in Notts

    As they say on the Antiques Roadshow - find another! It even has matching brown/ bronze pedals and if that's an original front rack, it features a front rack before the hipsters were even born! I'd want the original seat for £500 though.
