Re: Yes I ride a retro road bike when I get the opportunity.

Re: I've been using one on my Cannondale bad boy for the last two thousand miles or so of commuting and done the sustrans coast to coast. No problems and comfort is massively improved.

Re: Price please.

Re: Yes I've tried everything, a mate is having one last try with a bench vice and heat. Pm'd you for pics.

Hi all, after a long fight with seized pedals on the chainset I got with a donor bike I have given up. Looking for a square taper double preferably Shimano. Anyone got anything reasonably priced please?

Re: I'll get the frame number next time it's out, pretty sure the head badge is on the two pins.

Re: Rock lobster Al expert? Forks are manitou sx.

Re: Sniped in the last three seconds.

This is pretty much unchanged since I bought it off LGF last year, I'd love some more info about it if poss. The forks aren't original and are Columbus I believe not 531. Running 600/600 tricolour.

Re: I've just had to order a different rear mech as the old 600 one was having a really hard time coping with the 30 tooth top 8 speed cassette, should be done by midweek.

Next project is this Fuji from the early 90s I believe, if anyone knows the exact year please comment. The paint is just good enough to use with a few areas needing a touch up. I've most of a 105 groupset to fit to it so hopefully it should build into a reasonable bike.

Yes it's the gas pipe 18-23 one lol. Reliving my teens with this one that I spotted reasonably local and all original for £30 albeit with no wheels. Under the years of muck it's in remarkably good condition and now it's polished it shines nicely. I think I've sourced a set of suitable wheels...

Re: They sound ideal, yes pics would be great please.

I'm after a relatively cheap pair of six or seven speed qr wheels for a Raleigh banana project I'm doing. Anyone got anything?

Re: Nice score, I had one of these as a teenager, would love another one.
