sounds like your the type of engineer that actually knows what your are doing . and one that works on bikes aswell. my wife is always telling me im an arsehole and she always knows better than me.

i think your right there. most people including myself tend to think of an engineer as someone that works with something mechanical.

i have worked in the motor trade and marine industry in the parts dept for the past 28 years and most of the people who i come across that say they are engineers, i wouldnt let them work on my bike or give them a nut and bolt to put together. i once had to explain to a so called engineer what a...

wish my local bike shop was like that. i would be in there every day.

i wont be sorry to see wiggle and CRC go to the wall. they never have anything i want, when they do its too expensive so i end up buying from either aliexpress or ebay. all my local bike shops never have a good enough range and the parts they have are always the top of the range expensive...

sorry its not ebay or facebook but i saw this on my local gumtree and wondered if its good enough to add to my collection https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/bike/1465964639

saw this on ebay. beautiful bike but is it me or is this abit overpriced ...

i brought a few months ago a 1995 Rockhopper and its a 19 inch frame size. im 6ft with a 32 inside leg and the size is fine for me. i also have a 21 inch frame giant atx830 world cup edition that i use to commute to and from work and i have been riding that for 8 years no problem at all.

something like that should be in a glass display cabinet in an art museum.

has to be one of the ugliest bikes i have ever seen.

when i put a rear brake disc conversion on my 1998 handsome dog frame about 2 years ago, there was only room for a 140mm disc.

i guess tyres can be cooked in the oven if theres nothing else in the cupboard to eat.

I have used silicon spray on the whole tyre before to try to combat perishing before. it hasnt affected the grip of the tyre or like sliding about on banana skins. it also makes the tyre smell abit better aswell 😂

silicon spray ?

its in better condition than my 1995 specialized rockhopper. i would leave it as it is to show the patina. i was going to respray mine but it deserves to show its history and battle scars. anyone know of a product that i can spray over the top to make it shine ?

Sorry should have said that it's about far to go midhurst. Don't think the wife would let me have yet another bike anyway. Please note I have nothing against midhurst.

this looks like a nice bike for someone to restore.

saw this on ebay. very tempted to get it myself but its in Midhurst.

Mine aren't that bad but they have the specialized sigh all over the grips.

lady luck must have been on your side that day ! maybe you have started a new challenge for any other members to get a bike for a tenner ?
