So, inspired by @Tsundere ‘s excellent Anti-theft parts bin sh*tter thread, I’m going to mess around with an old KHS bike that has been banging around in the family for a while. A change in my commuting habits means I could do with a lock up and leave bike; but the commute includes a 300m climb...

So, I’ve been fettling a road rear wheel built round a Novatec hub (press fit, not cup and cone - what a fascinating modern world we inhabit…) ; will be replacing the 6902 bearings. Question is, would you just pop in the new bearings or (re) lube them first? If lube, then what sort? Replacement...

Don’t really use this any more, but it’s light and quick and comfy and in good nick if you fancy a cheap way of chasing Strava segments (got me a couple of KOMs a few years ago.) Medium size with a 56/57 effective top tube. £450 don’t really want to post but am happy to drive a fair distance...

Anyone need a 1 1/4” hanger? Stem mount not headset.

This was a bit of an experiment, but it looks like it’s a keeper so time to give it its own thread. It started life as a neglected 1980s British Eagle Crusader - these were tourers built (I think in Wales) to a price point (stock photo:) What caught my eye was that the frame was made of...

I know there are a few retro car fiends on here so may as well post this here: lack of space means I need to part ways with my old Saab: no MOT but an easy fix - new rear exhaust section and maybe rear handbrake shoes. It’s the coupe in a good colour with the fast big turbo engine - more...

Before I pony up for a new set from the States, has anyone got a new or vgc set that they stashed, but let’s face it, prolly aren’t ever going to use? 😁

Lovely Nitto riser bar and stem combo. Cro-mo bars and lush golf club stem. 22.2mm matching. Bars are 71cm wide with a max rise of 10cm at the ends. For 1” steerer. Small scuff to underside of stem pictured. Sorry, not cheap. Also on eBay for pay in 3, etc. £95 posted in the U.K. or save a few...

I want a Bluetooth r3ceiver that will just send the signal from my phone to my DAC, as digital: tonnes of them out there at all budgets, but they seem to come with good or shit DACS built in. What do I need to search for? Ta.

Here’s some of that 80s gear you’ve been after. (Nitto Bar and Stem moved to a separate listing.) Deerhead. M700. OG. Prices included tracked postage to UK addresses. Overseas possible at cost. Cantilevers. It’s your old mate MC70, frontman for the Deerhead group. This is a single set, but...

Anyone got a nice one they want to move on before I take a punt on one of those ones from Italy on eBay? Black or silver, good nic. Ta

SOLD on eBay for 74. I bought this as NOS - can’t guarantee that, but it is in excellent condition. £60 posted.

Not sure what to do with these: M231 rims on M650 DX hubs. Narrow 1.8mm straight gauge spokes, 32h & alloy nipples: so pretty light (front 730g, rear 930g as pictured). Spin freely, smoothish but not smoooooooth. Was going to clean and fettle them up for a fast build I have planned … BUT …...

Looking for a quality silvery rear hub for a 9 speed build - anything left out there unused? Any shimano cassette fit brand (except Hope-it-doesn’t-crack pls). 32 or 36h.

Have been pleasuring myself fannying around with Shimano tourney freewheels trying to make a 30t hyperglide unit, and came across these on the ‘bay. ⬇️ What goes around, etc: before I blow a whole £12.88 in the interests of research does anyone know if the screw thread for e-bike motors is the...

A sweet pair of Suntour wishbone shifters. 7 speed, nice action. Hard to detect any signs of use. £18 13 posted.

Here’s a set of stem mount shifters: SL-3040-CP I think they are 6 speed but maybe 7. They seem to have lots of clicks. 30 posted

Here’s a Status quill in not bad nick. 1” with a 90 mm c-c reach, 25.4- 25.8 clamp. Some insertion marks and small cracks on the cap I’ve tried to picture. £22 posted.

I know there are some knowledgeable hi-fi and electronics people on here, so to save joining another forum, I’ll post this here. I’ve just hooked up an Arcam irDAC (lovely Burr Brown PCM1796 chip) to my faithful Arcam Delta 170 transport. The sound is impressive, but the transformer that comes...

Every now and then I build a wheel, but infrequently enough that it’s back to school each time. Am going to store some links here and ask a few questions from the collective wisdom which I know is on here. Fave spoke calculator is EDD: Leonard EDD spoke calc Fave tutorial is Sheldon: Sheldon’s...
