    Best Modern Helmet with Retro(ish) looks?

    I want a new helmet for offroad use. My S Works Prevail is great for summer and is feather light. But it does have a crap chin strap and sometimes I'd like a more sturdy peak than just a cycling cap? And possibly greater protection. Equally I don't want something with a super deep back, but...

    Wanted Brooks C15 Black

    1998 Kona Explosif ReversoMod

    Posting this here since the frame is a 98. But the parts are largely older. I have however made some modern concessions- Wide, if not that wide by modern standards bars and a shortish stem. Top tube is relatively long for me, but doesn't feel it. I also intend to make use of the Wide clearance...

    Wanted 1 1/8th canti hanger & nice straddle hangers

    Doesn't have to be Syncros, but that would fit with the build. Something Canadian would be good? Straddle hangers, nothing too fancy but Something more interesting than the shimano ones?

    Cantilevers onto a V brake Era bike.

    Tried to keep the title as simple as possible on this one. I've recently brought a 98/ Ahead /1 1/8/ firmly V Brake era bike. I've got cantis, I don't want to go into a V Brake debate. Where should I position the canti hanger? Other than a 1 1/8 hanger any recommendations of what I should...

    XC Pro rear mech 7 or 8 speed?

    This was dug out by my Dad for my partner to use on her Pace. We're both thinking of 'modernising' and going to 8 Speed and she already has an stx rc derailleur on there, am I right in thinking this a short cage model regardless?

    Best of the pre V Brake Cantis... a thread that may of been done to to death

    I can already see the evangelists coming "Have you considered letting the idea that Cantilevers are shite compared to V Brakes into your life"? To be honest I looked for threads I could ask these questions in, but couldn't find quite the right one. If there is if someone could just post the...

    Sorted Kona Explosif frame with P2 forks 18"

    92- 97 considered. Ideally with bottom bracket and headset fitted, but obviously could source and sort that. Would consider complete or partial bikes, depending on specs and locations. I'm in West Sussex, but get free rail travel so could pick up pretty much anywhere in a 100 miles radius.

    18" 1989 Fisher Procaliber... I think

    My gateway back into retro mountainbikes after being on road and track bikes mostly for 20 years. Unfortunately I need to move it on after I've acquired another project. It needs a respray or a very careful touch up and it also has some slightly unusual sizes for stem, seatpost (not that...

    Kona Questions, sizing, differences in era (up to 97), clearances etc.

    First of all if this has been covered time and time again, just put the links to the right threads or I can even delete this. The reason I'm posting this up is I'm seriously thinking of hunting down an Explosif or possibly Kilauea. My gateway back into Retro Mountain Bikes has been a '89 Fisher...

    Wanted Mavic 517 rim ideally ceramic 32h

    As above, to replace one that is sadly beyond further safe use. Would also consider a pair of rims. If used, would like to see a straight edge picture of the rims to make sure plenty of wear left.
