    1991 Marin £15 start [pace forks, ringle stem, xlite bar ends, pace rc130 bars]

    I saw it posted on the Retro MTB group page on Facebook - listed at £300 - so either Wild Wayne knows what he's got to some degree, or was aiming high on FB to see what he could achieve. I imagine it might get pulled for umpteen reasons...

    Splatter Cinder Cone with A.I. description

    I keep seeing this style of description - what a load of old crap! Write the description yourself - even if it's nonsense it won't be A.I. nonsense! Can't quite tell what's going on with the top of the seat tube but could be a fun summer project - recreating the overall effect...

    Tange LN-3922 BB in BSA 73 - 113(,5) a thing?

    Good old SJS https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/bottom-brackets/tange-seiki-ln3922-73-mm-jis-english-square-taper-bottom-bracket-113-mm/ Or a second-hand high-quality Shimano one from Ebay. The good ones are obviously good and last. I'll probably not wear out a BB on any of my 'non-commuter'...

    Kona Explosif

    Good job it's not 16/18" - they look pretty ruddy stupid underneath a 6ft 2 (not THAT tall) geezer. I agree - the price is the shame! Nice though, and a good size!

    Sad looking Ti Raleigh

    Tis my size! Tis St Ives down the road and not the one miles away! I have some nice Ambrosio wheels hanging about! Is it worth a squirt?! Only ever had steelies - should I look out for anything in particular re: this type of frame? Cracks anywhere I guess? Have a shed o'shoite I could...

    Dawes Edge 653 Newport

    I'd read that the finishing of the brazing was a little rough - but that close-up joint's as rough as a badger's @rse! Being a tinkerer I'd watch how Brodie/ other masters finish off a braze, strip the F&F, make it secksy and re-paint in something a bit more flamboyant. And only if it were...

    Chelmsford Raleigh 531 fun for £20

    Sorry about that - if you saw my profile you'd see I'm not a great user of FB! The best bits I get sent are to do with the band Ride and I'm a member of the 'drawing coc&s on newspapers' group - a most childish and yet hilarious group sharing home-made images of just that. Here's the F&F
