Hello chaps, the below question has been posted on a cycling thread elsewhere and I don't have a clue. As t'other users who can help aren't on-line, I figured I'd quickly throw it over here, to the experts. I'm after a bit of advice. I need to replace the rims on my bike. They are currently...

Sorry for plonking this here, t'is as good a place as any. I'm after some bespoke caps. Just blue with the odd white strip, and a little bit of writing. It'll be a minimum order with the detailing all dependent on price, but irrespective they'll be nothing too fancy! Any recommended...

Blimey what a total legend, Nick is. He was unaware of the bike, frame & decals, but that didn't stop him. Nick scoured his back catalog and t'internet, piecing it all together, confidently explaining how he would fill the gaps (the letter Y). All this while putting up with my inane jibberish...

Oh blimey thanks for that, I'll get on it.

Well I've just about made my non 'flyer' choice. In trying to remain in keeping with the era but generic instead of specific. I'm going for the 'Raleigh' 'International' look with a seattube Raleigh and 'made in England' chainstay. How's that sound Raleigh experts, I'm so confused I'm...

Ahh that's a bit harsh. I'd like it to look a bit special, after all it is 40+ years old.

Raleigh Flyer I'm having an on and off 'relationship' with a Raleigh Flyer pulled from a skip. We are currently back on, I've actually finally stripped the Flyer and it's ready for it's respray. Having been through http://www.hlloydcycles.com with a fine tooth comb, there just isn't any...

I've mailed them as I couldn't see anything even remotely 'flyer' on their stock list, including a couple of photos, so they knew what I was droning on about. But they didn't reply, so I took that as a no. I'm really gutted as the bike is pretty much ready to go, but for the flipping decals...

I'm getting pretty desperate for some new decals for a '73 Raleigh Flyer. The internet, just isn't forthcoming. So I'm thinking of going left-field. My local print shop, judging by their window at least, are adamant they can do anything. I'm going to turn up with the frame and saying...

Basically one of these:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160908995627? ... 97.c0.m619 Although on mine it's only the cogs and cage part of the derailleur that's beyond repair, and the pieces I'm most interested in. (I'm too set in my ways to go buying from afar.)

As I title says I'm after a Huret - 5 speed rear derailleur. Preferably the all metal early '70's version, as opposed to the later one with the black 'name plate'. This isn't a deal breaker, but being in good working order, is. Many thanks.

Yeah the pink and yellow one. I found that photo on here when searching Raleigh Flyer, just to see what, if anything, had been said about it. I hope I don't get too attached during the restoration process, or else I might have to redo that photo. T'is a sound bike, all bar the rear...

Thanks. Yes I certainly seem to have got lucky with this. My concern is it's pretty grubby and grimy, and I don't want to in grain that when 'dubbing' it. As said this is my first experience with Brooks, all previous restorations have been newer, so I don't want to make it worse while...

Hello all, I'm hoping you can help me. Today I managed to salvage a circa '73 Raleigh Flyer, from a skip. (with the owners permission) As much as I can tell it's still got original spec, including amazingly true wheels. Included in that is the aforementioned Brooks Competition saddle...

Hello Chaps. I figure you are the people to ask, when after advise about tiding up a bike that's been neglected. I've just picked up my winter hack, and with a little TLC it could end up a nice bike. First port of call is the speckling spray paint effect on the frame. There's the odd patch...

Have now found it, feel free to remove this thread. Thanks for looking to, I'd be jiggered if I could find it earlier.

Sorry for cluttering up the board with this. I've been hanging around the classified looking for a winter hack. But whist looking around t'internet I saw the title bike, but didn't bookmark it, and can't find it now? Does anyone have the details? I know it's a wild shot in the dark, but...

Wild shot in the dark time We saw it last night before going out, didn't bookmark it, and can't find it now? Does anyone have the details?
