well sadly I don't have a lot of workspace so "like for like" is always favourite for me ! How much for the wheel/ cassette combo assuming you can source a seven ?

sounds good : I'm running 700 28c tubed on what I've got ..is there a cassette ?

What kind of tyre does that take?

Does anyone have one gathering dust? nothing too exotic as it's for my daily workhorse !

Stewart, thanks for posting the big Raleigh , certainly looks like it would have done the job but I'm taking the Verhoeven !

looks fantastic !

Guys, I find myself without a bike temporarily ... Does anyone know of a complete bike , ideally ready to ride , or perhaps just needing a service ? I'm too old for fixie and my trip home is all uphill so I definitely need gears. Best size for me is 25 inches. Don't want to break the bank...

wow : great looking bike ! shame it's gone....thanks anyway !

Thanks Adam, sounds promising. I did try my regular bike shop ( Simpsons in Kentish Town ) but they don't hold any old bikes. It definitely doesn't need to be pristine ; just need wheels, brakes , and enough low gears to get me up Swains Lane !

not necessarily a tourer but just need something that I could put a few miles on to work and back so preferably a complete bike , maybe something gathering dust that just needs a service ? 65cm ideal but anything over 60cm is workable . Around 200 GBP ?

Thanks Jim , that Galaxy frame does look very similar. I have a Rival crankset and a Brooks saddle on mine and no make / model decals . Was there perhaps a budget model below the Galaxy that would have been sold virtually unliveried ?

Hi Gents, Can anyone help me identify my bike ? I've had it since 92 but I reckon it's early 80s ? Just trying to decide whether it's worth a respray ! P1020009 by jpmoynihan, on Flickr

As the lucky buyer, would like to confirm what a great job Laz did on this bike and what a pleasure he is to deal with . He dug me out of a no-bike tight spot and has built a very interesting, attractive, high spec & quick machine in less than a week. Sounds like it took a couple of late nights...

Laz, looks ideal ! The sooner you can build it the better : no-one likes walking ! Can you source any mudguards ?

Hi Guys, longshot but find myself needing a winterbike urgently. Would have to be 54-56cm , should be ready to ride or just needing a service. Could pick up anywhere between North London and Cambridge ? Could go to about £200...

Guys, any recommendations for decent resprayers in or around our great capital ?
