Got a deore LX one. Its in good condition. The chap who sold it me didnt bother to tell me it was rapid rise. Was not well pleased.Has me changing up gears instead of down.Will happily move it on as long as I can get a used top normal in similar condition to fit...

Built this up just for the ice and snow in winter.Its running ice spike tyres. To be honest its very much underused but when its needed its quite an interesting ride.Took it out on thick sheet ice last winter and cornering on the spike tyres took some getting used to.Also...

The rear SR hub is on solid axle and spaced at 120.However the bike they were built for had a bolt on gear hanger so I used an extra long axle. The axle is 160 total.Nuts fully flush would take up 20mm of that leaving you enough for a 130 mm spacing plus 10mm to allow for...

Your problem is that high flange hubs will be screw on .That means a longer unsupported rear axle if you are going 130mm. You will eventually bend the axle. Early cheap mountain bikes used screw ons and broken and bent axles were common hence shimano inventing the free...

Its the spam im fed up with. You cant look at anything without being blitzed with reminders to look again or buy before its too late.Why cant they understand that if I wanted or needed it I would buy it. Simple as that.I suppose it a sign of desperate times but its pointless and...

May be a totally daft idea but what about a gallows style seat post and shims.There is a post on e bay in the same design at the moment

That is most kind of you.If the cups are with it then yes please.Pm me your pay pal address and how much and I will sort it out.Will post my address ( Nidderdale yorkshire ) in a return pm. Thank you again Regards Peter

As above but requires a centre spacing between bearing faces of around 50mm. Thanks Peter

Decided to bite the bullet and go new so no longer required thank you

Hi Would have got back to you yesterday but ended up having a day out with heat exhaustion. Not good.They should be o.k. thank you The main concern is they work. I can tidy them up a bit before I fit them. Postage on these should be around £4.40 as a small package (...

Hi Thanks for the reply.How much for either pair please.Having said that the 105s would be best. Regards Peter

Chris.I bought your breezer mate. Remember the old couple in the car park in the forest. Im 75 this year and still riding. come on man. Get a grip.I might last another year or so but you have a lifetime left.Dont get to the other end and think You wasted it...

As per the title please. Many thanks Peter

I think I still have a merlin catalogue somewhere.Back in my club riding days ( early sixties ) I rode with my local club at ripon. There were some lads who rode with us from leeds and one of them had one of the nicest looking bikes I have ever seen.It was a warm...

I thought merlin was bob jacksons bought in range a bit like woodrup cycles is woodrups bought in framesets. Just sold a genuine jrj olympic ring frameset conformed 1959 by jacksons and I cant say it flew out of the door.Neither did it make the sort of...

Sorted thanks

Had one of these back in the sixties on my first club bike.Soon got rid of it and cant think of a good reason why I would ever wish to fit another

Not anti carbon by any means.Have an airborne tri bike with carbon forks and an alloy cross bike also with carbon forks.However non of the fleet have the soul of the favori.Dont know what it is but as said it feels part of me in a way that non of the others do. Probably...

Have an ellis briggs favori in 653 and when I sell that i have finished biking.Its part of me when I ride it. The only way I can explain it.Was not built for me but had I gone to ellis briggs and asked them to build a custom frame then that is what i would have...
