I'm after some brake shoes with guides, in a similar style to the ones pictured – I'm sure you all know the type of thing I mean. I'm not really looking to spend that much to be honest, and any ones that come up on eBay tend to be as expensive as a whole set of brakes, so I'm hoping someone...

Just wondering if anyone has a pair of used 27 x 1 1/4 clincher tyres knocking around. They are for a bike I'm going to be selling and to be honest it's not worth spending £25 on new tyres for it - plus I had some myself until recently which I then gave away 😖 so it's almost a karma situation...

This confirms I really need to stop looking on FB. This ticks nearly every box of awfulness. It's genuinely upsetting. There's a lovely, almost pristine, Ciocc frame under there somewhere 🥺 - Original shifter bosses ignored and cheapo band-on ones added much lower down and over a decal. Why...

I'm posting this now in the hope that it will spur me on to actually get this build done, as it has been in the offing for quite a while now. Fingers crossed. This bike was also the subject of my first ever post on Retrobike over 10 years ago where I attempted to ID the frame, but to no avail...

I'm after some good condition Campagnolo monoplaner brakes - either Chorus or Athena. Thanks.

I'm just wondering if anyone on here has used Woodrup for a frame respray recently? As I understand it, as well as buying the Bob Jackson name, they have also taken over the renovation side of things from them - though I may be getting that wrong, I don't know if they did that before under their...

I mean, I hate FB anyway (I have a profile but never post anything, I'm actually only on there because the group I sometimes ride with only arrange stuff on FB), but Marketplace has been handy sometimes for picking up bargains compared to eBay. A couple of recent experiences have made me feel...

The description reads like the seller was very high when they wrote it, which they quite possibly were. Some decent bits on here, and the frame looks reasonable. Not sure about that fork angle, though? But this is mainly about that description... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176176129720

Mixed bag of parts, including some nice Campag shifters. The frame looks a bit tatty but not bad for a winter/pub bike with a little work? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3449425111945851/

Concorde Columbo 58cm Columbus Aelle frame. Obviously the paint work is pretty tatty, with plenty of rust spots, so it's a respray job really - but the chrome is pretty good. At the lower end of the Concorde range, but still a lovely quality frame with Cinelli brake bridge, chromed drops, etc...

This is mine - I've put it on eBay as I'm looking for a quick sale, but I'm open to RB-friendly type offers on here too (before any bidding starts, obviously..): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335125841867 It really is in amazing condition, almost as if new, really - I'm only selling this because...

Before I spend £16 on some black ones from SJS, does anyone have similar cable stops in a spares drawer somewhere? Preferably black, but silver would be okay too. Thanks

I have a 531 frame which has taken a knock (not a crash) resulting in a bent top tube. This photo shows where the dent is - it's not easy to show the extent of the bend, but it's most obvious on the right where it bends inwards. Both ends of the tube are not actually that far off each other in...

It looks to be in decent condition, too...'medium' size. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/812272883864815/

Here's another recent FB Marketplace poorly listed special. This was listed as a 'Lightweight Racer Bike' for £25. All I could really make out was the purple '6' of a 653 decal on the seat-tube. The poor thing was slowly rusting away in someone's garden so obviously I had to save it. It turned...

This is a new one to me, so I just thought I'd share in case anyone else comes across the same scam. Honestly, it's a pretty obvious scam, and I think it's unlikely most people would actually get as far as losing money over it - but at the very least it might save people time by just instantly...

Raleigh Royal (1985) 58cm frame and forks. 531 tubing throughout and Gipiemme drops. The frame is fairly rough in parts, mainly around the bottom bracket and chain stay, but there is no actual damage at all and actually minimal rust, more scrapes from a slipped chain and bad wheel alignment...

Having admitted to myself that my Ribble winter bike was really too small, but wanting to keep the modern 105 groupset and other parts, I figured I'd attempt my first restomod. Eventually I found a Holdsworth locally for the frame donor, which seemed to fit the bill. It turned out to be the...

Campagnolo Nuovo Gran Sport Chainset - £60 inc. tracked postage. 42/52T, 170mm crank arms. Overall very good condition - some shoe rub in the usual places, and a few scratches on the large ring and rear of the drive-side crank. All threads are good.

I have a rear wheel with a knackered rim, but a perfectly fine Regina 6 speed freewheel and Pelissier 2000 Professional hub. I don't have the removal tool for the freewheel, so if anyone near Sheffield fancies this please take it off my hands! I also have the front wheel with matching hub...
