    Well really it still belongs to the charity, but if anyone's interested in it, I'm pretty certain they will be open to any reasonable donation. I half fancied it myself, but I'm a bit of a short arse and 19" is right at top end of comfortable for me. I'll have words Monday and see what they want...

Anyway I heard it through the grapevine that here's the place to find some...

Anymore info much appreciated such as year etc. I put the wheels back on for photo, then had to retrieve 15mins later off container being...

Anyway I also volunteer for a small charity supplying medical relief around the world and as a bike lover I was mortified to find non ride-able immediately bikes, were...

    Ha ha Radar, who is cack handed when we own 20+ year old bikes, too old and lazy maybe, I just never looked at my hubs until now and they needed it and wasn't sure on removing the cap retaining things, I actually have the original packaging with exploded view sheet etc, but it's in one of those...

    hope titanium hubs

    Hi Thanx for the response, Firstly no It didn't actually lock up while riding it, I just felt it stiffening, so I dropped the wheel out to check and there's no hope of turning it by hand or rubber grip pliers. There's a fraction of movement either way before the dead stop though and I am...
