    Merlin "Really Wet Dreams"... 😳

    I have that exact same frame and have always wanted to know what it is. I suspect i am still no nearer knowing.

    BoTM Bike of The Month timetable and suggestions

    I still think a budget BOTM would be really cool. Only stuff that was originally budget, or below a certain price.

    Show us your Peugeots!

    Here's Gort, my 1985(?) Paris Express. Single speed on Toad wheels and slicks. Really comfy and rolls very smooth...

    1986 Dawes Ranger

    That Dawes is an amazing save. IIRC didn't these have those old bomb proof concave rims, Weinmann I think? Be interested to see what the other one is too. Top stuff :)

    1984 Peugeot Paris Express…

    Bought for a tenner, had to weld back end replaced a few bits (wheels, tyres, pedals, chain, rebuild brakes and bb, alloy bars and post) then ss converted. Bit heavy but very comfy and rolls along well. It’s called Gort.

    Love seeing the cheaper end stuff getting a bit of attention. Brilliant :) :)

    1993 Cannondale M800 BOTE

    Such a cool looking bike and great choice to go the polished route. There was a Cannondale of this generation on ebay recently, low starting price and no bids. Crazy how much bike these are for the money. I remember really wanting one back in the day in the black and red combo. Love it, well...

    Day out on my recently finished 85 Record Sprint...

    Finally got this completed a few days ago, so pleased it's done (although there's always a few minor things to add). Hadn't ridden one since 1987 so took it down to a place I used to ride my original one. Lot of nostalgia about super thin tyres, woeful brakes and using toe clips/straps again...

    BoTM Bike of The Month timetable and suggestions

    Was thinking this. As a serial mug for cheap, low end stuff that no-one wants how about a cheapies only contest. Something like bikes that were sold for less than a certain figure when new. Possibly allow for some mods but overall bike (frame & forks at the least) must be original.

    Raleigh Yukon - possibly mid 80s(?)

    Love this. Those forks are cool as well. So are the handlebars. I’d have singled it though because i’m an idiot.

    What freewheel tool do I need for this?

    I do need to order a second chain whip and this is as good an excuse as any :D

    What freewheel tool do I need for this?

    Have to say it’s not one i’d ever seen before. Agree it looks like the guts reverse thread bit is missing but it’s fully functional.

    What freewheel tool do I need for this?

    It's a Maillard, from a Raleigh Pulsar circa 1985. I've never seen a freewheel removal setup like it before. Really thin inner wall with just two prongs, opposite each other. Does anyone know what this one is called or what tool I need specifically?

    Wanted 24.0 mm Seat post for Peugeot

    Needs to be an alloy one with the top micro-adjust clamp still on please. I have a steel one with guts but want to up-rate saddle and need a micro-adjust/centre clamp for this. Happy to wait a week as I have a few other jobs to do on the bike in the meantime.

    What are your favourite bike buys of 2023?

    I bought a 1985 Peugeot Paris Express (peak cheapie 80s mtb frame/fork geometry) for a tenner. I'm single speed converting it. It will make a brilliant offroad/retro single/klunker.
