Picked this up from the tip at the weekend. It's got some nice bits but don't know what the frame is? It's got strange externally butted tubes on the down and seat tubes. Anyone any ideas what it could be?

Hello all, been a while since we've had a group ride down this way so thought I'd try and get something together. Ride will start at Queen Elizabeth Country Park, meet in the cafe at 10am on 17th July. Plan will be to have a short route out on the downs and back, then if people want more we can...

Free aluminium Rockhopper frame which unfortunately has two cracks in it, one in the seatstay and one in the chainstay. I know it's not the most expensive of frames but seems a shame to just bin it, thought it might be good for anyone that can weld aluminium. Size is 18" centre to top and 16.5"...

Hello all, thought I'd try and organise something before Christmas takes over for everyone. Haven't been to Swinley Forest for ages and the trails there usually hold up well in bad weather so seemed like a good place to go. Plan is to meet outside the bike shop in the car park at 10am on Sunday...

Hello all, did a route at the weekend that I stole out of this book, http://lostlanes.thebikeshow.net/ Thought it might be a good one for a local area ride. Plan is to meet at the Wheelwrights Arms pub in Havant at 10.00 on Sunday 20/10, some directions here...

Not done this before but fotorat1 seems to be MIA at the moment, hope he's ok but in the meantime I thought I'd try and post this up. I've set it to run for two weeks from today with one vote per user. Vote away Retrobikers. caemis' 1998 Bontrager Privateer KeepItSteel's 1998 Kona Kilauea...

I've had this for years but have never got round to doing much with it. It was originally dumped outside a place that I used to work. I wasn't really that interested in retro bikes then but thought it was worth saving so picked it up and had it powder coated. I built it up in to a single speed...

Please leave feedback here, thanks fellow Retrobikers.

Another trip to the tip and I came home with an Eddy Merckx Tour de France. Not that familiar with these bikes, I thought they were only higher end models and this seems low end. Not sure on age either, anyone else have any more info?

Rescued this from the tip last weekend, not anything amazing but seemed far too nice to leave there. Doesn't have any stickers with a model name so not sure what it is? Couldn't find a post to fit out of my stash, 25.4 was too small and 26.8 too big. If there are any Dawes fans out there that...

Organising a Southern area ride on 28/4, I've put it in the national events section to try and get a bit more interest. Info here, viewtopic.php?f=5&t=397011

We haven't had a Southern area ride for a while so thought I'd better try and organise something. Will be a nice off road ride around the South Downs and if anyone fancies it there are a couple of decent MTB trails within the Country Park. We can make it as long or short as anyone wants to cater...

Anyone have any idea what this is / used to be?

Ok here we have Saracens bottom of the range offering for 1996, kindly sold to me by Piperdave for a very reasonable sum, thanks Dave! It all came apart fairly easily which was nice and it wasn't long before I had the frame stripped down and a nice box of bits. I had intended to just...

Every time I use my local tip and find a nice bike in the sale section that needs rescuing I find it pretty hard to leave it there, sometimes even if I've already got the exact same model of bike already. As a result I've ended up with two pretty much identical 1995 Saracen Forcetrax's. One I've...

Bought this from the tip at the weekend, it's got to be the best find I've had all year. Amazing what people chuck out, Forks will go nicely with the Pro Flex frame I've got stashed away. Anyone know roughly what year any of it is?

I don't think I've organised an mtb ride all year and time is running out to get one in before it starts to get muddy so thought I'd better sort one out quick. Meet up at 10am on Sunday 30th September, ride up and around the downs and back again. I haven't actually thought of a route yet but...

Anyone fancy this? http://www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk/e ... downs-mtb/ I did it last year it was quite good, think it was only 40 miles last time.

Road ride in Hampshire here, viewtopic.php?f=35&t=380262 Might not be too far away for some in your area?

Anyone up for another road ride on Sunday 15th April? Probably be 40 something miles, possibly be a bit hilly in places around some nice Hampshire countryside with a cafe stop or two or even three if needed. Meet at 10am outside the Churchillian Pub, almost opposite Mick's Monster Burgers...
