    Surely worth £80?

    https://www.facebook.com/share/1Y5bSjEBPz/ I have no space or time for it and I'm probably a bit too tall for it at 6ft2, but surely somebody can adopt this little beauty?

    Tape for chrome-paint joints?

    Hi All, I've had one of my frames re-sprayed, and the paint shop managed to keep the original chrome on the rear triangle. I've got chrome joining powder coat on the stays and I thought I'd put a narrow strip of tape around it (I believe that's how it's often done on vintage bikes). Any...

    Thorn Mixte

    Early Christmas present for the Mrs for somebody? https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/expedition-bike-thorn-nomad-mk3-rohloff-hub-stepthrough/1487697877 If the Mrs is too tall, might be worth finding a shorter one to fit this bike.

    Local Barracuda

    Saw this for sale on local Gumtree. I am guessing this frame is alloy, so the guy must have had balls of steel if he manged to bend it like this. Still, must have been very painful.

    How many spokes?..

    Retro-style road cycling shoes

    Hi all. I treated myself to a pair of retro-styled Arturos last year, since I don't like cleats and ride wide MTB flats with spikes, even on my road bikes. http://www.cycletouringsupplies.co.uk/store/p193/Black_Arturo_leather_cycling_shoes_Resin_sole_with_a_rubber_grip.html Found the shoes...

    Novatec road hubs in rigid MTB wheels?

    Hi all, Hoping to pick your brains about using a Novatec "lighweight" road hub A171SB, F172SB in a rigid 26'er wheel build. I've got a vintage MTB frame I'd like to build up, and the rear is for a 130mm hub. I also have got at least 2 pairs of said Nova hubs that have proven to be very good...

    When to ditch a rim?

    Hi All, I've got an old rim from a bike I bought a wee while ago that I can lace into a road bike front wheel. There's no wear indicator on the rim and the braking surfaces appear worn but OK. I know nothing about the rim history. Bought a cheapo dental caliper and it's showing about 1.0mm...

    WTF? Cracking Ti frame.

    I was going to put in a cheeky £20 bid to get this for my kids, drill a stop hole & wrap some CF around the headtube, but the price jumped to over £100 delivered already, and there's 4 days to go. WTF?! For a cracked frame? I think the look of brushed ti surfaces just messes with people's...

    Droch Stàilinn. Attempt to save a scottie.

    Ok folks, this is the most ambitious project to date. Will greatly appreciate your help. I've been looking for the right Scot frameset in my size for several years now. It does help massively that I live about 50 miles away from where they were made, but still these framesets seem to be quite...

    27" Question

    Hi All. A question on the retro 27" wheels (etrto 630) - are they still alive? I.e. Would I regret building a set of 27" wheels because there's no more tyres being made for them? Or is it just the case of solid supply of limited options from modern manufacturers? Thanks.

    Swap Shimano Deore BR-T610 arms

    Hi All. For some obscure reason I have got two non-noodle arms for shimmy deore brakes that do not have a noodle-bearing match. I think these are BR-T610. Would anyone like to swap a noodle arm for a non-noodle arm? Hopefully, there's another idiot with non-matching brake caliper pairs out...
