Nice looking bike being offered on STW. http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic ... ds-653-654

Time to start clearing out the stuff that will never see its way onto a bike. For starters some Mag 30s. Condition leaves a lot to be desired but might work for spares or repairs. £15 posted ono. This lot for the cost of postage. Tatty GT saddle, so-so GT waffle grips, black QR, seat tube...

Black ideally. What have you got in the bottom of your spares box?

I think that my sister still has her circa 1990 Orbit mtb in her garage. It's sat there unused for years. As you might imagine for the vintage it is a rigid steel job, 501 tubes maybe. Groupset is Exage Mtn or similar. Rims are silver M6 Oxygen I think. It probably also as a Flexstem. If anyone...

There is a thread over on STW concerning an Ibis Alibi that may be entirely legit but they were wondering whether it might have been lifted at some point. http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic ... ibis-alibi

Got a couple of bits on the 'bay as the loft clear out begins. XTR remote - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0703877309 DX mech - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :MESELX:IT

I've a pair of RC36 Stealths taking up space in the shed so time to find them a new home. Steerer is 200mm with a star nut fitted. Condition is pretty good on the whole. They were serviced by Pace a few years ago and have had very little use since as the spring is too light for me at 85kg. I...

Some young turk over on STW is dissing the retro coolness of old bikes. Justice needs to be done. Why I bet his gears work and the geometry of his bike is correct. I bet his *spits* modern road bike weighs less than 11kg. too.

So who are those old knackers featured in WhatMTB this month (Sept 09 issue)? I see that retro kit also features in MBUK this month. It is rapidly becoming clear that retro stuff is becoming more popular than once it was and I'll have to find a niche to hide in until the masses find that too...

Anyone on here ever fit a road chainset (square taper flavour, '94 105 in particular) to an MTB? What BB axle length does one need to keep the chainring off the chainstay?

Namely when you are lying on the road in front of one. Questionable bike maintenance meant that as I pulled away from the lights in Caversham this morning my chain ceased to be a loop and did its 'tied in knots' act after a link snapped. Over the bars I went. As I lay on the floor I noted how...

Guy, angry at cyclist taking kid out on their bike, shoots cyclist in the head. Only in America! http://www.wyff4.com/news/20187786/detail.html

Myself and a couple of likely candidates are looking at riding this trail come autumn. Anyone here ridden it and do you have any points of note for consideration?

Off to visit the parents up in Northumberland and shall be taking the bike. Now assuming I get away for a ride in the Cheviots as a given I was also considering a Trip to Glentress or Innerleithen. Should I do the two reds or just the big black at Glentress? Is Keilder worth a visit on the...

Chris, Splatter and I are angling at a ride this Sunday. Meet at Pangbourne station where there is parking and no height restrictions for those arriving with bikes on the roof. I'd suggest a meet at 9.30 for 10am. Route tbc but probably heading out into Oxon to cross the Thames at Wallingford...

So the Pope broke his wrist? He slipped (friction), fell (gravity), was x-rayed (medical science) and the wrist was put in a cast. Science and the world of cold logic reigns supreme! Maybe God was on holiday too. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8155372.stm

I know this should be in 'rides' but as that is such a slow forum I am cheating. Anyone riding Holmbury and Leith Hill regularly available for show and tell anytime this month (weekends)?

Just a nod that On-One are having a bit of a purge and have some killer deals on frames and FSA stuff.

OK so when I go home to watch the Tour highlights this eve I'll be watching it on an ITV channel but why do they have to give the game away? New mantra - must not listen to radio news after 5pm.
