    Sold XT XTR Vanguard Alivio Thumbies LX DX Gorilla Salsa Marin

    Hello I’ve accumulated boxes of stuff and it keeps growing. Clearly don’t need triples or 9 pairs of thumb shifters. Sending from france and prefer selling to EU countries as it’s easier to send (via mondial relay which I send from my local grocery) than the UK. Mainly I have grown to hate the...

    Sachs/Huret thumbshifter remount

    I´ve had those, they are indeed good shifters. they also had a plastic lever version that becomes brittle and breaks. Have you ever tried their newer Version (newer as in 30 yrs ago)?

    Stronglight Granfondo cranks

    Not much help but I have a stronglight rockstrong which looks the same in triple and rockstrong century. The previous owner had sent me both cranks including a shimano JIS BB. Without thinking I assumed these were JIS. Both started to creek and eventually start to fall off. The previous owner...

    Bring out your multitools....!!!

    Nicely thought thread. Nothing special for me, although I’ve had a few multitools that have all been lost. Somehow this multitool I found in the street and a Swiss knife have lasted. Only thing I don’t like on it, is the rubbish screw heads and possibly a 8mm hex but it’s become an object of...

    XTR M950 Advice

    As written, the later XTR FD M952 is 9 speed, it appears that the 9 speed shimano derailleurs have narrower cages compared to the 8sp, by about a 1mm Ish. Therefore M900 etc front derailleur should swap around the same like the M950.

    New or Counterfeit Suntour XC-Pro Crankset?

    It’s very interesting as they have other parts nos such as the DX and suntour shifters. I’ve sent retro parts to china before so there is a market out there. If you check out sold listings, they’ve had multiple amounts of nos items. I’ve bought nos stuff from asia before, my guess is they’re...

    Cannondale M800

    Nice; I’m guessing the anodized dia compe brakes were the purple inspiration, a purple pivot bolt for that derailleur could go quite nicely

    Most comfortable retro saddle?

    Got 2 specialized saddles with DG written underneath, love em. 155mm. No idea if thats related to SDG saddles. Been thinking of trying the more modern Spe’ saddles 155mm sizing. Tried flites, italia’s, Bontrager, Fizik, brooks, avocet, WTB rocket etc etc. All ending with a sore Asz
