    1998 M2 Stumpjumper build

    Thanks for your comments, I still have this and it’s still getting a bit of use here and there. It’s a size 18”, a 19” would probably be a better fit for me tbh but I like it as it is and think the proportions of the smaller frame size look a bit better. Maybe something to do with how chunky the...

    1950 - Holdsworth Cyclone-De-Luxe

    Wow that was pretty rough when you got it, how’s it looking now? Any progress? I’m confident the paint on mine is original, just the stem that was part chrome and part bright red. 👍

    1950 - Holdsworth Cyclone-De-Luxe

    Thanks for all the above, some helpful info there. I’m meant to be packing to go camping with my boy but couldn’t resist a quick tinker. Somewhat unbelievably the stem and seatpost both came straight out, this is a good sign for the rest of the build! Mudguards were in poor shape and have come...

    1950 - Holdsworth Cyclone-De-Luxe

    Thanks! A truely lucky find for me, I just hope I can do it justice, I’ve not properly restored a bike this old before. I’ll likely be back with a few questions along the way. I’m not thinking of making it as good as new, but if I can clean it up, service the moving parts, and get it riding well...

    1950 - Holdsworth Cyclone-De-Luxe

    Just collected this gorgeous one owner bike from the daughter of the original owner. It was advertised as the frame only and was very cheap and local to me. When I collected it I politely asked if they knew what happened to the original wheels and the lady found them in an outbuilding of the...

    1996 Kona Kilauea

    It’s been awhile but thought I should update this. The Kila has become my go to hardtail which is exactly what I hoped it would be. It’s such a great bike, here it is as of today: I found a more suitable saddle in my spares (I forgot I had it!), I had to ditch the gripshift too. I’ve never...

    Low low mileage ‘93 Stumpy FS

    Got this finished off (at least for now) today. I’d like to strip and polish or maybe repaint the forks but otherwise I’m happy with it as it sits. I’ve touched in a few tiny spots on the frame and I think the ti flite suits the overall look. The original handlebar grips are so thin and light...

    New project - Cove Stiffee

    Thanks, I just popped a last second bid in and hoped for the best. It should/would have gone for more if split down further and if postage was offered. Didn’t help that it was caked in mud also!

    Thanks, appreciate it. Trying to find a balance between building and riding but still loving this hobby!

    New project - Cove Stiffee

    New pick up: Going to piece this together with parts I’ve got knocking around. Not going to be particularly high end but should be a decent bike for not too much outlay. 👍

    Low low mileage ‘93 Stumpy FS

    It’s been a while but I had to strip this down and put it in storage while I cleared some space. I put some air in the forks before I stored it and bagged everything up in a box. I finally have enough room to build this back up so I dug it out today. The forks seem to have held pressure which is...
