It's normally appalling quality though. I mean, I would say that, being an old style bike shop, but the number of customers complaining about their bendy wilko tyre levers, unsticky supermarket patches, rechargeable homeware store lights that don't work in the rain, it's usually a waste of...

A fairly basic Elswick, but charming Norex saddle, missing a nose adjuster, sure i can find one and I bet its brooks- compatible. worth £20 Milremo stem worth £15 And a pair of saturne-rimmed 27 clinchers, handy to assemble a nice vintage piece, value£40. So although most of it will be...

Looks like a 1886 hillman herbert&Cooper premier safety... with the chain in the right side, I.e. the left! Like ours!

Presumably with Jamie Lee Curtis, and Kelly Lee Curtis in the boot

Cheap bosses and brake hanger🙄

Zero is a good one. Mind you , what's it ever done for us? Nothing, that's what. 😄 Insurance is gambling - the jury's out on that🤣 And i don't think humanity can claim the lens🐙😉🐙

Collecting tomorrow along with a ton of oak carpentry offcuts. I'll let you know🤞

700c is a clincher size. In Britain, sprints were called 27s, width given as 7/8" or 1" Nowdays tub manufacturers (none British iirc) call them 700s, equivalent width as 22 or 25. I don't think they called them 700s historically, hence the confusion. There's no difference 27/700 in the...

Also have a quick fag - they were good for you back then🤣

M739 rf+s are more prone to breaking, but this is in the general population at the time - and they were way more common. The xtr owner would have been less careless.😉 If they've lasted this long they should be ok. The issue of bent internals starts to show as missing the downshift* (thumb...

According to raleigh, all choppers are kids' size. Raleigh’s Michelle Jakeway: "Of course the Chopper was originally designed as a child's recreational bike, so we needed to scale it up a bit" Hard to disagree.

Its called "non-buyer's remorse" It's a lot cheaper than "buyer's remorse" , but a lot less fun😀

"You cannot compete in the Tour de France on mineral water alone." – Jacques Anquetil Tour winner 1957, 61-64

But if you'd bought it, which would've raised the price, you'd be thinking you overpaid for it😉

Is it still working, or hasn't it started yet?

I think there's a connection between the early deaths of racing cyclists and official attempts at drug control.

It's sad that the riders got all the flak for taking drugs, when surely it was the race organisers' responsibility to keep it clean. By the 90s, I think we can assume that if you weren't doping, you'd be unlikely to be fast enough to be in the team. The clean riders couldn't get a look in...

At the same price point, revoshift feels nicer, and seems to have held on a little better. Cold hands are a problem
