Re: Tel, thank you so much for your offer! I've sent you a pm.

Afternoon all, I usually reside in the road forum, couple of my mates are bullying me into going riding with them. I've taken a look around and I really like the look of Kona's, though as I know next to nothing about mountain bikes I'm open to offers of different makes. I've done a bit of...

Thanks fo that, I may not have explained properly though. The frame itself isnt too old (late 70's early 80's) but the handlebars are (I bought the frame and all componants but she didnt like the handlebars so bought her own). The Brake levers are brazed on to the bars, the bars are like a...

I'm hoping someone can help, Im building up coventry eagle for my girlfriend. The handlebars are set up for rod brakes. Does anyone know if I would be able to change these so it would take cables? I can post pictures if needed. Hope someone can help! Thanks!

I'm hoping someone could shed some light on this for me, (apologies if its been covered before) I'm looking at getting a modern bike through the cycle to work scheme. I've settled on a genesis, now I need to decide on a model: equilibrium or volant. They're both attractive bikes, but which...
