After battling with neck pain for a while, have had both an osteo and physio recommend sacking drop bars in favour of a cruiser. I don't really want a single speed bike with roller brakes on our hills! But I wanted to ask the combined wisdom of forum what they thought was the best way of...

I got some OGs for the backwards sweep, but reckon I need something that will get me straighter wrists, porteur-stylee. On-One Mollymawk look ideal, but you might have something similar. 31.8mm clamp.

Anyone?

I have an old cyclocross bike which doesn't have the original wheels. It's currrently got Open Pro rims, happily fitting 32c tyres, but according to official figures shouldn't be taking more than 28c. I want to put some fatter tyres on it, let's say 45c. I presume I need different wheels, and...

At a couple of points in its rotation my chain is sticking a bit. If pedalling forward it's just stiff for a few links, if backward at the same point the rear mech gets pulled forward and the chain usually comes off. I replaced the chain but it didn't make any difference. My next port of call...

I've developed some tendonitis nonsense in shoulder/bicep and haven't ridden in over 6 months. Today it struck me that I might be able to put some different bars on that give me a more sit up and beg position that will take weight off my arms. So I was thinking cruiser/porteur/chopper type...

Had this for sale several months ago but noone bit so I am trying again at a reduced price. Inbetween times I made some component changes to enable me to attempt a couple of categorised climbs in the Vosges, so have got a mixed bag of pics as there's a mixed bag of options now. What you...

Prompt payment and friendly comms. Great! Andrew

More things for sale at nice round numbers of bargain pounds. 1x CTA handlebars 40cm c-c, 25.4mm clamp. Bit tatty but the engravings are nice and I think rather elegant. £10 + post 2x Mafac drilled brake levers. SOLD.

Does anyone other than Tektro do a dual pivot caliper with hex nut mounting? Not prepared to drill frame.

Clawing back some £ from my Peugeot project, please buy my Simplex SLJ5500 rear mech, described by some as "the best derailleur ever made", and in this instance a tad scratched in places but in perfect working order. Note for some reason the label is upside down. Presumably this makes it uber...

Not sure re forum rules on whether one is allowed to refer to one's own sales, so feel free to delete Mr/Ms/Mrs Moderator. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132216534415 This was put together with plenty of help from this forum. If anyone here wants to make an offer I might end the auction early (if...

So if I had these... would I feel any benefit "upgrading" to these which seem to come under various brand names I'm not familiar with - Alhonga and Longus and probably others, and read somewhere that modern deep drop brakes might be a bit "flexy". Andrew

I'm looking for a bike for both on road and light off road use (crosser or gravel bike in modern parlance I guess), but my budget stretches to whatever I can make from selling my 1982 Peugeot PKN10 (Reynolds 531, 22"/56cm). So if anyone fancies a straight swap before I eBay it do let me know.

For various feeble reasons I'm stuck with a 6 speed block on my Peugeot. Might it be that old 7-8 speed brake lever shifters would work with it?

Some things for sale at nice round numbers of pounds. One San Marco Corsaire 313 saddle - the most satisfying buy of my Peugeot renovation as it was in the catalogue spec but really hard to find and took me yonks to get one. In very good condition indeed apart from a scuff on the edge at the...

Centre-to-centre that is. Would prefer 46 but I fear old skool bars all tend to be narrow.

I'll pass on the official details when they emerge, but for the mo save the date. As part of the "launch" day for this year's http://www.chilterncyclingfestival.com/ there's a ride for all you vintage fans, with the intention of getting some nice pics of us in full (preferably 1987) regalia...

Being very good at buying the wrong thing I have the following objects to sell. A pair of Olimpic XXII pedals - missing the brand stickers, kinda quality Campag copies I believe. A pair of Lyotard 136R pedals with Christophe toe clips. The toe clips are the wide-mount ones you need for these...

Because I'm not sure how much use my 1982 Peugeot will get, I'm thinking of selling it to fund something a tad more rugged that I can take down bridleways etc as well as roads, and would prefer something designed (rather than tweaked) for cyclocross. It would be nice to keep in the retro vein...
