Fifteen or so years ago old bikes were just that and they were cheap. Which is partly why I became interested. It is also why I ended up with an attic full of parts donor bikes. :rolleyes: Anyway, some of those cheap bikes are branded "Halfords Sport". Who built those? Did Halfords have...

A few weeks ago, while looking for bits of bling on ebay.fr, I stumbled across a purple Eddy Merckx frameset. That colour was enough to stop scrolling and take a closer look. Of course I don't need another bike, but this looked rather tasty. Much more interesting than the usual cheap &...

I bought this frame many years ago, but until now the yellow has kept me from building it up. I have now decided to strip and repaint this frame. But in what colour(s)? It is obviously a repainted Dawes, but which model? A little desk research has led me be to believe it is from the late...

I just picked up this Daccordi, and I am trying to find out what it is. The paint scheme suggests ca. 1990, but other than that I am at a loss. The tubing is Columbus CROMOR, the parts are Shimano 105 (1050). Not sure the latter is original. Any suggestions?

This bit of news appeared this week: Eroica is starting a new franchise in Limburg, with a first edition on July 3, 2016. The Location will be Valkenburg, where many a world championship battle was fought. The first winner was Marcel Kint in 1938: Mrs non-fixie and I plan to join Jan. :D

I've recently acquired this chromed frame, after having wanted one for quite a while. I'm pretty sure it's a Falcon, but I haven't been able to identify the model so far. Perhaps you can help me. I suspect it may have been built by Falcon for another brand. Anyway, all help in identifying it is...

Hello all, I've browsed this forum for a bit now and thought it was a good time for a first post. A couple of years ago I acquired this Halfords Sport, and I'm still trying to find out who built the frame. I'm assuming it wasn't Halfords. So far Falcon came up as the closest match, but I'm...
