Perceivable as Rear Derailleur.

The first on the agenda for me, would be bottom bracket and stem attention. Whip off the cranks and get the BB out, see what you are dealing with. Even if it's blow out the curry powder, re grease and put back in. If original or, a sympathetic swap out with a cartridge jobby. These old steel...

Yep, leave them alone. If you de-lace them, my money is that they will be tricky to true up again in another spoke and hub setup. As good as they are, they are not treasure. Save yourself some faffing around.

With marins from early to mid 90's, there is not yet an accurate science to work everything out. Almost antiquary where rembrandt did paint something, but cannot be put down to the month/ year, but a masterpiece typical of the time when a certain pigment became available to artists. 1995 team...

E....is the blank spot (non threaded) next to drive side flange, to accommodate a front mech thats bb mounted.

It'll come down to your end goal with it. If you are sourcing new parts that are mint, then the frame/fork/stem may seem rough. If not then just strip it down bare and give it a scrub with a little washing up liquid in the water/ sponge scourer. It's often surprising how zolatone comes up, even...

I've had two of them, over 15 years or so. Just about the best tubing on the planet. It was top of the league in 1995 as the team issue was dropped for that year. Hence F1. There is some anomalies re: model and serial numbers but you are safe here. Its a non picky and tunable model. With 27.2mm...

He meant 1995.

Read through this.... https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/fork-crown-mounted-canti-brake-rocker-things.427942/ I mounted to reflector hole and had no issues. Don't over think it.

The LX will feel slightly better in build quality and setup will be a doddle. However, performance won't be huge in difference and, you won't care about scratches etc to the black gloss. Bang the accera on, still around since mid 90's. Keep them clean and well lubed, should do another 20 years...

And what a stand! Some knockout products, a real treat for the eyes. Dan on the right... I had the usual wonder about and saw plenty of retro machinery. Some bargains to be had. The 90's bike displays are bigger and better than previous years. Still sunday to go, get over there!

Try get to York on sat/Sun rich. Dan will know how to sort the pace and there will be a lot of interest in your other wares. See the thread in rides/events/meets for details on how to go about it. Be nice to see you too.

Ooohh. I've picked up a shocktech carbon front hub for 80p. Yes 'p'. You will find complete bikes that have cobwebs on...giant and suchlike. And boxes, upon boxes of mechs, pedals etc. Some deore and stx may be the level you will see most often. Ive picked up fox rear shocks for 10 quid...

Probably setting up 8 or 9, but it's there all day, Saturday I can speak of. It's unlike the proverbial carboot where vendors are packing up by 11:30. 'To get home for the footy' One regular stall, loads of it, is by a bike dismantle place/recycle effort. They have tonnes of it and, can be...

I've got one here, original from maybe 756, 757, 955, thats what I've owned. You can have it for a stamp. Or scrutinise the dimensions as you wish.

See, all is in good order.

If you look at previous years events here, there is plenty of solid stands where you can add your machine and shackle it somehow. Likewise, there is a retrobike 'guards' overlooking the displays. All said, you will be accommodated in some fashion.

Hello my friend. If there is no onvious fixing in there....its a hollow tube/pin that pushes out. Ive not done the job myself but can honestly suggest using a similar diameter object and carefully knock it out. Maybe heat up to assist the process. The rear swing frame can crack 👌 Take a...

Hello. The only pics i had were 'attached' to gallery in the site's old format for users-bikes-gallery.....sort of compartment. Probably long gone. The subject was resolved though! Donkeys later i was at a bike jumble and a alu frame caught my eye....with the same 'aluminium series' decals on...
