    Pace RC200 F8 on LFGSS for £800

    Haha, I know the seller really well, He is a super good guy but works a ridiculous amount of hours every day as a courier. So has little time to even sleep or eat, let alone find himself down a rabbit hole on a forum like this! If anyone wants contact details for him, I'm happy to pass them on.

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

    Has anyone suggested the DXR BMX V Brakes yet? They are reasonably cheap and pretty classy looking with their polished finish and subtle etched logos. I know it says rear brake only, but I've seen them used up front numerous times.

    Steel frame making.

    It certainly is, though there are a lot of folks out there who love the security of a paycheck but are also fond of the additional pocket money a hobby can offer. When you end up with premises, insurance, staff, and all the other overheads, sometimes the costs have to go up. As I mentioned in a...

    Controversial: show us your cargo bikes

    If any of you people enjoy cargo bike life as much as I do, I'd give THIS Instagram account a look, there is some great stuff being lugged around on bikes there, I'm pretty chuffed that I've been reposted a couple of times after documenting objects that we have been ferrying around on our Bullitt!

    Steel frame making.

    I guess everybody's situation is different and because of that they charge what they have to to make ends meet or what they think they are worth. Our workshop is at our home. It was a conscious decision when we bought our house that I was likely to quit the day job and go self employed at some...

    Steel frame making.

    But they will also charge you £160 for brazing stainless washers around two holes drilled in the frame for Di2/EPS wiring, so I guess its swings and roundabouts!

    Steel frame making.

    We don't list a phone number on our website, when you are a one-man show and you are trying to get things done, the phone constantly ringing consumes a lot of time. Clients generally initiate contact through email, maybe messages on social media, but from there, we progress to workshop visits...

    Steel frame making.

    Jesus! If people are charging £4K for a frame, then you could get two from me for that price! I’m clearly not adding enough hipster tax! Hahaha I think frames these days take longer to build than back then, internal cable routing, disc mounts, shaped and curved tubing, larger tyre sizes etc...

    Wanted Right hand side spoke for Shimano WH6700 rear wheel.

    I think I have some in the spares box, they are from a Dura-Ace wheel so the nipples are red rather than silver/grey. Do you need the threaded stub bit that goes onto the non-nipple end too? I'll have a proper look in the workshop in the morning
