Let me first compare with my own collection of lonely Middleburn arms, but request noted:)

By the sounds of it the bike has been in road-only use for the last couple of decades so the opportunity for them to crank under extreme use has passed - now with just metal fatigue to add in to the mix!

Picked up a bike earlier this week mostly for the frame. Bonus in that it came with a set of Middleburn RS(7?) cranks attached, but unfortunately the last owner decided the best course of action to make them fit wasn’t to fit a longer BB or different set, but instead they needed to be...

When you have sold something, and the buyer has paid, you'll be directed/instructed to 'Get postage label' or something like that. Hitting that button opens up a new window with the buyers name & address on (by now they have already been charged for postage - unless of course you are paying)...

Pending for al-onestare but will let you know if they become available.

Any of these of interest to anyone? Let me know what you want and just pay postage. Cycling Weekly - 1992 x 3 - 1993 x 12 - 1995 x 2 - 1996 x 1 Mountain Bike Guide Mountain Bike x 2 Mountain Bike Action May 1997 Bicycling February 1994 Fred Salmon Training Log Pearl Izumi Catalogue 1993...

Great work all 👍

I found this whilst clearing the loft, anybody want it for cost of postage? I don’t have a VHS player so it’s untested, but frankly it looks as good as new.

Not a part, but a tool in this case I believe. Dug these out of a box that has been in the loft since 1994/5. I think they are bearing drifts for 6903 bearings judging by the bag they were in, and they have a 9mm hole in them. Two different sizes. But for what hubs? Any in particular or a...

A couple of points to note here, catalogues tend to come out quite well in advance of the actual product hitting the market, and they are typically issued with a caveat that specifications are subject to change without notice. Here’s a couple of examples from my stable. 1992 Marin Indian Fire...

Looks great. I’d be tempted to ditch all the white stuff and replace them with black to allow the frame to pop a bit more.

Not sure on your location/currency. Going rate for these seems to be in the £250-£400 range. Seems to be in decent condition on the whole. I'm looking for a set of those tyres, only ever see them on complete bikes :rolleyes:

That's a BR-M737 from '94 🤷‍♂️
