I'm after a clean 28.6mm XT bottom-pull mech in clean condition. M737 / M738 preferred but 735/6 could work. Thanks

Im after some help trying to get a seat post clamp bolt for my Marin Bear Valley from 1993. At the moment I'm not fussed whether or not it's an original part, I just need the seat tube to stay put! The external seat tubing has a diameter of 28.6mm. The length of frame where the bolt clamps is...

I'm after some cheap and cheerful (clean, if possible) STX, or similar, 3 x 7 speed shifters please. It's for a budget build for a friend where I'm replacing gripshift with trigger shifters. Thanks

Couple of bits needed but still pretty incredible to find NOS.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126879824384?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=igNgRu_7T4-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=7mzUPebRTXq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

As per the title, for the less fancy (and not period correct builds) what brand would you guys use/recommend for a budget JIS square tapered bottom bracket? Less concerned about weight and more for durability. Prefer recommendations for new, in production bb's and not, say vgc UN91 etc.

As in the title. Will a (10/11 speed) Shimano 105 M7000, or similar, rear derailleur work when paired with a shimano 8 speed shifter, a (M737) 8 speed cassette and an 8 speed chain? My guess is that it would, as the ratio comes from the shifter itself - the only slight sticking point...

I bought a cheap Narrow Wide chainring on Ebay in black, which was pictured as being nearly all black with a little bit of writing around the edge. The one that turned up however, has garish branding over a large section of the chainring. I am trying to keep the moving parts/ bars etc on my...

I'm after a set of reasonably priced, 175mm LX 560 cranks in black. Need them in good clean condition but not nesessarily mint. Chainrings not needed. Thanks

I'm at the end of my build and today I tried to dial in my index shifting. The bike struggled to drop from 2nd highest to highest (smallest) cog. I changed both shifter and derailleur but exactly the same problem occurred. Then I noticed the hanger (dropout? - unsure of correct terminology)...

I'm after a Cantilever mount/boss which is threaded all the way to the top, as seen in the picture. Preferably silver please. Thank you

Does anyone know where I can buy a canti boss like the one pictured on the left, as opposed the right - threaded all the way to the top in size M8? I can find titanium ones from China on ebay and black M10 ones, but the only others I can find, the thread stops short and there is a metal bit...

As per title - having been sent (incorrectly) a bottom-pull NOS XC Comp derailleur from the USA, I am now after the correct Top-Pull Suntour XC Comp or Pro Micro Drive front derailleur with a 35mm band

Can someone please tell me whether the brake bosses on these Pace forks can be turned to the front or whether on this model they're fixed to be rear facing? (The only way I see them being able to be put to face forward is if the round metal parts are bolt covers - I had a little try at pulling...

Having stalled on my build I have now reached a stage of fitting the crankset and setting up the drive. I'm using Suntour XC Microdrive gear. My seat tube measures 35mm and I currently have a 115mm bottom bracket fitted. This makes the chainline to the middle ring 47.5mm. Can anyone with...

As per title, I'm after a QR seatpost clamp 35mm to fit a cable hanger that has a 40mm opening. I have a wanted ad for a Trek System 1/2 already but have had no joy yet. It's for a 1993 build so period correct-ish would be a bonus (Dia Compe etc) Thanks

As per title I'm looking for Tioga Alchemy in silver or similar 1 1/8 threadless. Must be vgc or nos and roughly period correct for a 1993 build (I appreciate most are threaded in this era) Thanks

Having dabbled in a few part-restorations and fixing up a few pub bikes, I'm finally doing my first bare frame build. I've picked the brains of many on here who have provided invaluable advice before starting this project, so thank you..I may well need more Retrobike knowledge on my journey! I...

I wanted to post to say a big thank you to Retrobike member @Splatter Paint . His fantastic Karma ad means I now have a perfect workhorse of a bike for work. I made a few changes to get it running how I wanted - parts bin RD LX m570, Alvio brake/shifters, new cables and housings, 8sp cassette...

I'm after a (System 1/2?) Trek seatpost clamp, as pictured. Thanks

As per title, to fit 1 1/8 threadless headset, in VGC in black if possible please.
