1991-1994 Orange Clockwork I’ve had this frame in the shed for about 6 or 7 years now and never got around to building it up. Eventually found the motivation during lockdown. The back story is that I wanted to use some parts I had left over from one of my favourite ever bikes, a 1991...

Spotted this lovely looking thing in Kingston upon Thames today in Neal’s wheel’s on London Road. Campag groupset, Not sure how complete, looks like a very small frame, but could be really nice. Wanted £300 for it but could probably get them down a bit? Let me know if anyone buys it.

Anybody planning on doing this? http://torqinyoursleep.com/ It’s a good route, not dissimilar to Mayhem but a bit longer and hills aren’t as bad. Perhaps a bit more twisty. Similar range of competitors but the one I did a couple of years back had very few retro riders so perhaps it’s time to...

Hello all, Inspired by Mountain Mayhem to build a lightweight XC whippet, I've dragged my old Orange Clockwork frame out of the shed. It's a mid nineties, 19" frames, but I'm 6'1" and this photo show it with the saddle at the correct height for me. Is it too much seat post? Looks a bit scary to...

Hello all, I came to the realisation at Mountain Mayhem that my username is crap and unmemorable. Is there any way to append it or change it? Who should I contact? Thanks, Sthodgson (aka ?)

I am selling my Cotic Escapade Mk1 Medium in duck-egg blue. As it is the Mk1 is has a straight 1 1/8th steerer, track ends for single speed fun, a higher stack than the later models and a steel fork. £250 ONO. For a steel gravel bike the weight is surprisingly good - I measured it at just over...

Hello, Just need a bit of help tracking down some KoolStop canti pads for 1990 spec 500LX brakes. They don't have the stalk on them ,but instead heave a threaded bolt that a nut and spacers screw onto on the other side. Can you still get them? Cheers.

Anyone up for a blast around the Surrey hills Saturday?

Hello, Not sure if I can afford it but I'm looking for some 1989 Shimano kit from the top 2 tiers. Rear mech, front mech, shifters, chainset, one set of cantis, brake levers. Seatpost would be nice nut I think they are ultra rare and it's not essential. Anything out there? Needs to be...

Hello all, Thinking of doing a road ride on an old MTB for old-time's sake and would like to put some slicker rubber on. I know Schwalbe Big Apple are probably the best bet but I prefer the look of tan walls. I've found some Schwalbe City Jets that look pretty good at 1.95 width, but is there...

This just arrived in the post: Some of you might recognise it from these parts before, and you would be correct; many thanks to Brocklanders023 for responding to a half-hearted post saying I wouldn't mind a classic Saracen. After a few weeks here it is. It is, I believe, a 1989 spec frame...

Retro Ride, Surrey Hills, October/November 2018 Hello All, I’d like to organise a retro-ride in the Surrey Hills, an area of outstanding excellence for all things with chunky tyres and pedals. I know my around a bit but I’m likely to get lost and look confused at a moment's notice. All bikes...

Hello all, I'm hoping to organise a ride in the Surrey Hills in the next month or two, but I just can't work out the best place to put it up. Is it in the Rides, meets, races thread or in the South East Area Group section? Any pointers welcome as I always seem to miss rides because they are...

Hello, Just wondered if there were any out there. Cheers.

Hello. Long shot, but does anyone have one, or know the whereabouts of one of these mystical steeds? Had a gas pipe model in the eighties and would love the proper one. I think they were 86 but not sure of exact date. I need the large as I’m 6 foot 1. Cheers, Sam

Hello all, I did the Gorrick 12 hour at the weekend on my rigid singlespeed. Good fun was had by all but I didn't expect to see so many expensive carbon whippet machines. My bike was a bit outclassed on the weight front so I was just wondering if anyone races a retro bike in xc races these...

Up for grabs is a classic On One, slot dropout, Inbred, 18”, steel hardtail frame. I bought it new in about 2008, used it for a few years then it has been stored since then. Condition is very good - no dents or dings, no rust, paint still really good condition. It’s a bit of a classic now...

Brakes - Hope(sold), Avid - £20 posted Two sets of brakes up for grabs. More photos further down. Hope Closed 2 front and rear. Really good condition and they do work. I had a problem fitting them to a bike as I couldn’t get the pads to separate enough. this is probably an easy fix for...
