Thanks I'll sort out some pics and post in the correct section. I'd rather it went to a good home :)

I've recently acquired a green saracen frame, forks and wheels plus bits including deraileurs, canti brakes and seatpost/saddle. Basically the whole bike minus a chain and replacement grips. Its a shimano 21 speed, with gripshifters and probably dates from 1990's ? Some pitting on the...

They are in pretty good nick, no deterioriation and seem to be better at handling mud than the specialised fast Traks I have on the other bike. Will keep them for the time being and wait until they are wrecked before replacing them. Thanks

My old raleigh came with a set of 26x2.1 tyres. The only branding I can find on them is Duro ? Whilst they have pretty good grip off road (especially in the mud) they are hard work on the tarmac. The details on the tyre merely say DURO 26x2.1 inflate to 50psi. Does anybody know what I've...

I was having a look at this, when you say outed does that mean there is a problem/history with the bike ? Thanks Ian

Thanks, I've posted on the other thread as suggested. If a mod would like to delete this thread that would be great. Thanks Ian

Sorry, been advised I might get more information here so sorry for the cross post. I have a raleigh Voyager, exodus frame 19 inch. Shimano alvino drivetrain and 7 speed twist shifters. I think the brakes are Shinamo as well. Hi- Tensile fork. Does it date from 1992 and what would it be...

I have a raleigh Voyager, exodus frame 19 inch. Shimano alvino drivetrain and 7 speed twist shifters. I think the brakes are Shinamo as well. Hi- Tensile fork. Does it date from 1992 and what would it be worth ? Its in excellent condition, changed the handlebars and fitted new pads and tyres...

I've been bitten by the bug and am now on the look out for a good retro bike. Not sure what I want beyond a hardtail with suspension forks. I'd like to be able to fit disc's but not many older bikes have mounts for read disc. As a mechanical numpty is there a way around this ? I have an...

I'm looking at a GT XCR 4000 from 1999. Looks in good condition and recently serviced. Whilst I quiet like the look of it, are these any good and what should I expect to pay ? Avid and Shimano equiped. Judy Fork. Thanks Ian

Indeed :) I was out with two friends on Sunday morning, me on the Specialised, one on a Gary fisher full suspension and one on a rigid rockhopper. All about the same fitness. The rockhopper left us for dead on the climbs ! No real benefit in having suspension as the route we took was...

Hi All, I have two mountain bikes to choose from, an 1990's Raleigh or a new Specialised Hardrock disc sport. Whilst the Hardrock is a lot of fun most of the time I find myself chosing to use the rigid Raleigh for a ride. I use my bikes for an 11 mile comute to work, mostly off road. The...

OK, thanks, I will try some new pads before I rethink the brakes. I think the original Shimano are probably past their best. Any idea where I would be able to get thumbshifters ? Thanks Ian

I have what I think is a 1990's raleigh exodus frame MTB that I'm using to commute to work. Having swapped out the quill stem to an ahead set (using an adapter) I now want to change the gear shift and the brakes. The grip shift shifters are imprecise and sometimes change by themselves, I was...
