I weighed my Peugeot Perthus chromed, Reynolds 753 fork and at 646 grams, I think that's pretty light for steel. I've seen Columbus SL forks that are lighter. I'm currently planning to build this Peugeot into a super lightweight restomod and was wondering how much weight I could lose by...

I'm trying to colour match the bar tape to the graphics of my current bike build project and have ended up with too many rolls bar tape that I won't need. I did find the perfect colour after buying a single roll of tape cheap from Ebay, it turned out to be spot on but unfortunately I can't find...

I'm in the process of upgrading my 1987 Peugeot Perthus into a super lightweight restomod. I'd prefer to keep the retro appearance and 80s riding experience but with strategic use of performance enhancing modern parts. Shimano Dura Ace SL-7900 were the last indexed, downtube gear shifters to be...

Does anyone own an Alimo? I inherited my brother's 57cm bike which I used after I moved on from BMXing to Road cycling in the mid 80s at 15 years old. The bike is quite liight at 22 pounds and was equiped with a Shimano 600 Arabesque groupset and Super Champion Gentleman rims. I had the...

For a bike project I recently finished, I wanted to fit some Shimano 600 AX brake calipers, I found some second hand ones cheap and also received some 600 AX brake levers with my purchase. As you might have guessed there were no hoods, they had obviously shriveled up and disintegrated with age...

I have a vintage Answer Manitou 5 SX suspension fork (26", 1.25" threaded steerer) that was briefly fitted to my Gary Fisher AL-1 when it was used as my commuter bike. The fork worked very well until the thread of a plastic adjuster failed causing it to fire into the air when I hit a bump. It...

...rear Shimano 600 AX brake caliper for sale. I made a bad decision and bought a pair of Shimano 600AX brake calipers but when I checked a day later I noticed that the seller was selling a pair of REAR brake calipers. Obviously I'm not going to fit a rear brake to the fork and risk...

I'm currently restoring my 1990 Gary Fisher AL-1 (Bottom photo) I bought it in 1992 with the paint stripped off and with black Answer Accu-trax forks, which looked cool for 25 years but I decided to paint and restore it, although not to original spec (I don't like the colours) I decided to...

I have finally finished pimpin' (restoring) by 1979 Falcon. History: I bought the frame in 1989 and used it ever since as my commuter. The frame was metallic red and in average condition, at first the components where mainly rusty steel parts so the bike looked very undesirable to thieves...

Hello, I'm currently in the process of renovating a Chrome-moly framed Falcon frame from around 1979. I found some pics of exactly the same frame and forks on google: I've found most of the decals I require, from H Lloyd Cycles and Cyclomondo: Unfortunately, I can't find the Golden...
