Pretty small frame but looks to be in good nick...

When I were a lad and spent some time most days either cycling or running, that activity always seemed to guarantee a good night's sleep -- even for a poor sleeper-cum-insomniac like me. Now I'm older, though, I'm finding that exercise during the day -- specifically from about lunchtime onward...

Having broken a drive-side spoke following damage from a derailed chain, I now face the risk of it happening again on a different bike. I bought a couple of used wheels recently to put on my most-used MTB. The bike was built with Mavic Crossrides which I've managed to put out of true, so found...

On a few recent rides using different bikes, I have started to become obsessed that my stem is a couple of degrees 'off' to the left or right, thus putting my handlebars at a slight angle rather than nice and straight, 90 degrees to the top tube and wheels. The more I look, the more it seems...

Looks to be in reasonable nick and sized for the larger gentleman or lady . . . but at a 'premium' price . . ...

It's been a while since I've done some proper work on a bike, what with the Australian winter biting hard and work taking precedence. In the background, though, there has been some tinkering and parts sourcing, all for this bike I never meant to procure in the first place! It came to me from a...

You know that feeling when your project queue is full and you're not sure how to get everything done, and then you land yourself with another project? Well, somehow that happened -- again. This frame came up locally and given how these are akin to hens' teeth in Aus in my kind of size, I sort...

I've been looking for a new (old) set of cranks for a project I'm working on. I've always had 175mm cranks on my bikes -- I'm not sure why, other than that I'm 6'2" so the larger sizes of bike are fitted with those. But now I'm finding 175mm versions in short supply -- time and again I click...

I've never done a thread on this bike although it has featured elsewhere here, but was fiddling about with it today and thought it might be nice to document it a bit better. This one goes back to early days of Covid when, like a million others, I decided it was a good time to start on a...

You watch the internet for years (four in my case) and a Hei Hei in a rideable size, in the same country, comes up when you're broke and can't buy it! Looks like a decent bike, doesn't appear to be a scam. No serial number shown though. Hope this link works...

I've been on the lookout for a 26"-wheeled Unit in a larger size for ages, but they're pretty rare here in Australia and I'd reached a point where I really didn't expect to see one for sale. But then one day on Facebook Marketplace, I saw a 2004 model on offer in Melbourne. There was just the...

I'm trying to find out what diameter seatpost the 2004 model took. It's the Tru Temper OX version, same as the Explosif that year. I had one of the latter once, which I'm pretty sure had a 27.0mm seatpost, but just want to make sure. The catalogue doesn't give diameter. I'm sure someone here...

Sad to see -- hope they can be saved. https://road.cc/content/news/orange-bikes-set-appoint-administrator-306053

Greetings Konarati! I'm talking to a local seller about getting my mitts on this bike -- it's a 20" and still has its P2, but I can't quite work out the colour from the supplied pics. The '95 is supposed to be 'Forest Green Metallic' but this one looks more blue. The seat isn't original, but...

Futzing about with the Hope Minis I plan to use on the Kula Primo build I'm working on, I have entered the rabbithole of hydraulic disc maintenance. Opening up the Minis removed some of the reservations I'd had about working on these brakes, and emboldened me to take a look at a Mono Mini that...

Hmmm . . . I smell a rat...

This one epresents a bit of a change of thinking for me, brought about by a growing realisation that both my skills and resources are rather limited and the super-sano restorations I admire so much on these forums are beyond me -- at least for now. And also, my obsessions tend more toward riding...

I wanted to leave very positive feedback for @brutuskrombi following an extended but very successful transaction. I contacted this seller about a pair of rim-brake Mavic Crossmax wheels which I fancied for a planned build. I wanted to know if he would be willing to send the wheels to Australia...
