My wife will be overjoyed that another 100+ magazines will soon be coming my way!

…and after buying it back I then sold it on to Benjabbi before Christmas when I realised that the titanium frame I really wanted was a Merlin! He built it up really quickly and, shock horror, rode it! And I’ve now got my Merlin

Yes please. PM incoming.

I’d like this please. I’ve sent you a message.

I’d be interested if Mark doesn’t want them

Sold to Mr Ox!

Hi All, I’ve just amended the listing slightly as someone who knows more than me has informed me that due to the frame number snd tapered seat tube top, it’s a 1993 vintage, not 1992. I paid £400 for the frame and £35 for the seatpost to be removed. Postage at £15 brings it to £450. I’ve had...

Well I think the master frame builder, Lee Cooper who did the work would probably be aware of the risks, dont you? Heating seat tubes to remove stuck seatposts has been done for aeons. Some amateurs may much it up. But fortunately I didn’t choose one to do this work.

I shouldn’t really get upset by ignorant experts but I do so thanks for those established members on here that have vouched for me. Is it ugly? Yes. Have I been honest about it’s condition? Yes? Is it rusty inside? Who knows? It’s a 30 year old steel mtb so it’s as likely with that one as...

I had no problem messaging with Darren on here. We exchanged phone numbers and he sent me some photos on WhatsApp. Sadly there is a small ding in the top tube which put me off but the rest of it looks very good. Will be a nice buy for someone.

I’m going to be listing mine over the weekend. Shipped from UK!

Reilly Cycles will do the correct BB repair without having to replace the whole seat tube.

Interested in the whole thing. Sent you a pm. Did you get it? Ta, Matt

All PM’s responded to.

Thanks Tangent. Yep transparent efficiency was my aim doing it this way so glad it’s working! The Ti Lite frame sold on eBay for £850 yesterday (with only £3 seller fees, hooray) but the composite fork is still looking for a new owner!

Thanks for the positive comments guys. It is my best stuff (other than the 3 bikes I’m keeping) amassed over the past 5 years or so. I’ve just added a fair few M900 bits, Chris King 2-Nut 1” headset, critical racing brakes, a really nice original Flite Ti and some Thumbies. More Bontrager...

Hi all, I’m having a comprehensive clearout of many of my favourite parts as I’ve finally persuaded myself that out of all the lovely retro bikes I’ve owned, I only “need” three of them. They are all listed with a “max £3 selling fee” so not much scope for reductions in general but if you...

I’ve got 28 Ti spokes. I’ll take a look at the length for you.

Definition didn’t bin it. I’m pretty sure I included it with the frame when I sold it earlier this year (fully restored paint with new decals - it looked pretty sweet). I’m having a clearout so will likely be selling my Race Lite soon complete with Bonty Composite fork, stem, ti seatpost…
