What's all this talk of V brakes. Surely not. I'm the opposite, never got on with them, even worse my grandchildrens many bikes (yes there's lots, my wife's new hobby seems to be collecting them) have them and its now my job to service.

Pop it on ebay for say £250, someone will eventually come along and offer £150.

Great picture if Eileen on the rollers in this week's 'Cycling Weekly'. Article reminds me that her first LEJOG record in 1952 was disallowed due to the Daily Mirror publishing a story announcing that it was happening. Breaking RRA no publicity rules.

Very topical squirrel logo with Wout Van Aerts recent masked singer exploits.

Unfortunately seems to be up to date, just clicked on the link for the first time and top of the page today's big cross race result , just about to start watching it!

Really enjoyed watching, really surprised myself my recalling from deep in memory the winners. Loved the danger signs, disco wheels, track side portaloos and the guy popping out as a rider went by, and no chainsaw background music. The British champs seem like only yesterday. I was only a lowly...

I never barter on Gumtree collections, always full price or walk.

Many thanks.

Many thanks your reply and also Jimbog's as well. It's just a little too small for me, I tend to ride bikes on that a 17/18. I had a 91 Pine Mountain demo for a long weekend and also bought a 93 Eldridge Grade new and both were 17.5. regards

Could I clarify one point, is there a listing fee still payable? Is selling now free. I just sell at moment without taking much too much notice of how the Ebay charge breakdowns.

Hi, What size is the frame, cannot see it mentioned unless I am missing something.

I raced extensively, at a very low level, throughout the 1990's, starting using them about 91 because everyone else was. I always found them a great help, when dying going uphill on the bars then moving my hands to the bar ends gave me a new lease of life. Perhaps even reaching the top without...

I kept with thumbshifters for several years after sti became available for a number of reasons. I bought a new Offroad in 91 that was specced with sti, but came with thumbies, probably availability shortages. Soon after I picked up a second hand Saracen with sti that had obviously been knocked...

Cracking bike, will be a great project. How high does that front brake cable go before it comes back to earth?

My father in law has recently died, a former toolmaker with many hobbies and interests, and an avid collector, it's been quite a challenge to clear everything that mother in law wanted shot of. In addition I have also been conducting my own clear out. I have used a combination of eBay, Facebook...

Great photo, where did you sit, hope you were not left at home.

My original early 90's DX are still earning their crust.

Fairy mundane ride on local roads last night, drizzly conditions throughout, but first try out for my new Cateye bar end mirror. What a game changer, being able to see what's coming up behind made me feel much more relaxed.

Must have passed me by, don't remember it at all. I wonder if bike still exists. I guess it must be the same Andy who was a prolific mountain bike racer in the early days.

The wheels look like factory wheels from mid naughties. I have a pair that look same but mine are back, they were sold as Ultegra (can't recall the numbers). I also have a front 105 that is silver, but the spokes are laced differently.
