    what bars and saddle for a 1991 Zaskar?

    Raleigh Geminis turn up with some frequency. Love them/ wife has one/ wouldn't mind a large one myself to replace my Bob Jackson that snapped its seat-tube towards the BB yesterday morning sob sob! A metallic twang and it was toast. I blame my thighs as we were pulling-away from a train...

    The seller has only sold bikes recently - perhaps it's decent after all? Oh crud, front skewer lever on the RHS. No, just no

    Fu%k me the AI listings are getting $hitter by the day. "this mountain bike offers smooth gear changes and reliable braking, making it perfect for experienced cyclists and newcomers alike". Maybe, but has the seller fettled both gear change and braking? AI doesn't know. The seller might not...
