At nearly 80 and with a heart condition, my father has finally reconciled himself with the fact he’s not going to get on his Dyna-Tech 755 Ti racing bike anymore (he still uses his steel Thorn tourer), so hooked it out of the garage for me to add to my retro MTBs. it‘s a little tired, covered...

Like all good cyclists, I've been checking out the riding options around where I'm going on holiday this summer -- Cornwall near Bude. Looks like there's not much MTBing, but I don't really want to take a road bike either as the roads all look pretty small and sketchy. Plus, there'll be some...

Looks like the Marin saddle on my Eldridge is the wrong one. It’s a bit chunky, and looks like the Palisades original saddle. Have a look here: The correct saddle is a little more svelte (though no Flite!). Anyone got one in good condition, or even know the Velo model number? Here’s the link...

I’ve got an old (but reasonable nick) Dart, just need a matching skinwall/amberwall Panaracer Smoke to go with it. A folder, ideally. Failing that, a set of decent Marin Rockstar tyres from 92/93 would suit my Eldridge Grade. Cheers.

The original Kalloy made Marin Lite seatpost for my Eldridge Grade is scratched to feck. So, looking for a NOS or excellent condition one to replace it. Doesn’t have to be Marin branded — I’ve got transfers ready to go!

Just picked up an absolutely mint and original spec 1992 Marin Eldridge Grade. The paintwork is in great condition. A little fading to the decals, and the Shimano bits and bobs could do with a polish. Even has the original Marin tyres and reflectors! Very pleased with it, even with the saddle...

The Boy has been riding around in his Zaskar a bit this summer (only just got tall enough to ride it – need to feed him better). Only real snag is that the forks are a bit stiff. Seems the springs in the RC36s are mediums (a tell tale spot of red paint). Now, Pace have some softs, but want 50...

Hi there, The Boy’s Baby Zaskar (see sig) has some cunningly adapted Pace RC36 Evo forks for use with 24” wheels. What isn’t quite so cunning are the medium springs in the forks. Way too stiff for a 9 year old! So, before I attempt to get some custom springs made, thought I’d see if someone...

Looking for a silver (well, aluminium!) front canti hanger for my Orange P7. Can’t see any for sale here, and the eBay ones are a bit crap! Hoping someone has one stashed away somewhere. Can’t get my F7s on the bike without. Help!

Looks like there’s a load of NOS Joe Breeze Hite Rite dropper posts for sale on eBay USA. Get em while you can... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-HITE-R ... 0510108168

Mine just cracked on the flange. So I need a new one :( anyone got one going spare? Doesn’t have to be complete — just the shell is enough! Cheers.

With the lovely weather, I’ve just finished off building a Hope Ti Glide rear hub (that I’ve had lying around for a while) into a Mavic X517 rim. Just got it trued perfectly (no mean feat on a purposefully off centre Pace frame), ready for the rim tape, tube and tyre. Then I’ll be off for a...

Now the weather is getting better and The Boy a bit taller, time for him to get on his Zaskar. But, the headset is really wobbly. It’s a modernish OnZa Mongo III 1.125” aheadset. Nice bearings and the cups fitted well into the Zaskar headtube. But, the (pretty chunky) crown race sits very...

Our village got snowed in today, so decided to head out for a ride. Obviously needed something knobbly and unlikely to clog with snow. So, P7 single speed it was. Not exactly a fat bike, but 2.1" of Panaracer Fire XC down to 20 psi was as good as it got. Anyway, here's some photos. At some...

Very nice looking P7. Think I have enough of them (2 bikes and one frame set!), so can’t risk the wrath of Mrs R. Price might be pushing it a little... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/orange-p7-Re ... Sw6lRabiM8

As above. Now that I've finally got a threaded set of F7 forks for my P7, I need a suitable 1" Orange quill stem. Not too bothered about length (were there many options?), and looking in the 93-97 sort of age range. Oh, and bare metal rather than painted. So, ideally an SK8 I suppose, but...

A conversation over Christmas sparked this thought. If you had £10k to spend on retro MTBs, what would you buy? :xmas-big-grin: It's actually surprisingly difficult to answer. It's got to be 10 bikes, so you can't just plonk a load of cash on a couple of top end rigs. So, how do you balance...

Hi there, I'm after a silver 34T decent quality 110BCD chainring for my Orange P7 single speed project. Ideally something nicely CNC'd like a Pace or Middleburn. Failing that, a good quality TA or similar. So, anyone got one lurking in the bottom of their bike bits box that they want to get...

I'm missing the washers for 4x M950 XTR v brakes. Before I measure them up and order some random washers off eBay, does anyone have some actual spare V Brake mounting washers (or know where I can get some)? My Google-fu is really letting me down on this one!

Having bought an Orange P7 for Mrs Rouleur a while back, I never really got around to turning off the eBay search notifications. This would normally be fine. But, coupled with the fact I'd had a few after work beers, and a P7 going cheap with just a few minutes of the auction left, meant I ended...
