    Patina or pati - nah 🤔

    Today I got around to making a mess of my lovely Ribble. It had a couple of little bubbles / snakes under the paint & knowing that the 531c tubing is pretty thin I didn't want to leave it too long, or ride it too much without taking care of any problems. After some light scraping with a...

    Wanted 🎨 Colour 🌈 (purple ano / fluro yellow)

    The parts-bin bike is pretty much done, but its in desperate need of a bit of colour: It's a Gary Fisher Wahoo in 'Titanium' (Drab Muddy Grey would have been a better name for the paint, but probably not as good for marketing purposes) I've not really made up my mind on a palette, it depends...

    Bargain cable recommendations

    Anyone good a good spot for cheap, half decent cables? I don't get through anywhere near enough to save money from buying in bulk, but the individual sets are silly money (IMO) I'm sure I'd seen this discussed on here before, but cant find the thread

    Sorted Crankset needed!

    BB was knackered and seems silly to put the rubbish old cranks back on, so I need a shiny new crankset & BB sorting so I can get the bike back together! - nothing too fancy as it's a pretty low end frame - I want to keep it 3x7 Other than that, show me what you've got!

    A Christmas miracle! (+ Give me some ideas please!)

    I've been doing little bits to the wahoo over the last few days: new tyres, new bars, adjusting the brakes properly etc. Today it was time to stop putting off the inevitable & have a go at removing the bottom bracket. when I brought the bike last year the crank & front derailleur were covered...

    Mid 90s Gary Fisher cable routing

    Does anyone on here have a mid 90s GF with a down-pull front derailleur? I'd be interested to see what the routing looks like! I'm 99% certain the top-pull derailleur on mine is factory original (who would fit a BB mounted Altus for fun) but the specs say it should be a down-pull: I think...

    Brake pads for early/mid 90s campy Athena

    Anyone able to point me in the right direction for some pads that are going to give some better stopping performance? Have managed to get a few rides in on the Ribble this summer, but I'd forgotten how crap the brakes were (especially on steep descents)
