Per the title. Lovely set of XT V’s with everything you’ll need. One set of long bolts and one set of short. Pads and holders are brand new and cost a decent amount on their own £55 posted

That Orange is, erm interesting!

The Tektro I have don't have the tiny allen key on the side, different pad fixing too. Think you've done ok!

If we’re having an amnesty I’ll roll out my singlespeed P7. Pics and build thread link to follow.

Bought some Tektro brakes for a great price, shipped quickly and well packaged. Cheers John!

If you want different, there's an LTS on ebay at the moment that has been converted to a different rear shock arrangement - with a home-made linkage and lower shock mount. Not sure I'd be wanting to ride it...

Cannondale Delta V1000 was a funny looking thing... often come on sale for cheap

Jo has a compendium book of Mint Sauce (Lost summers and Half Forgotten Afternoons) available to pre-order at the moment. Links on his Instagram @Vecchiojo, which is also worth a follow for an eclectic feed of CX, gravel, adventure riding, retro cars and also the odd cat picture.

Can I also chuck in for consideration a Marin Mount Vision or suchlike (East Peak, Rift Zone)? They seem to be two a penny these days and I remember them being quite handy.

Proflex with Vectors - for me is an itch that has to be scratched. Certainly that would be my choice (not least because of Jez Avery in Dirt, and me being quite impressionable as a teenager. And as it happens, also as an adult) FSR's are a nice ride though. Tough choice, but I'd be with the...

To add - not retro, but a while back - when Boardman entered the mtb market (must have been about early 2000’s) I remember some cracking frames with full SLX and decent forks for surprisingly decent prices

I’d agree with Univega, and add KHS to the mix. Always getting decent reviews, good frames and a sensible speccing of kit - but seemed to go under the radar. Saracen had some very competent frames mid/late 90’s The one that I never really “got” was Marin. Good steel frames that have a...

It was local to me and glad I missed it or I’d have another steel bike I don’t need! Seventy five quid is criminally cheap Currently been eyeing another Kili that’s equally local (Dagenham) and on FB (hateful platform) - it’s £175 with a fanciful original £400 price - so has been hanging...

All the awesome in one place. That’s fab!! How does it ride?

I have a pair of 1.5 folding Continental Cross Country. Tread is really rather good and the amber sidewalls are ok but starting to look like they need something to hydrate them. They are about a 1994 vintage. I’d ride them, but probably not far. Is there any market for period correct tyres?

Sold on eBay for £60

It was just a normal hammer so probably gave it a bit more moo than necessary - but the race wasn’t budging. Have plusgassed the life out of it and will try again tomorrow

Arrived in the week. Not sure it’s that great as I tried it on a scrappy RST I had lying around and the crown race remained firmly in place as the tool dug itself into the fork crown. Will try again. Less than a tenner though so was worth a go

Zero degree, 130/135mm. I don’t have the plastic top cap but do have an xlite black cap that fits perfectly I have a matching 26.8mm uncut seatpost
