You've scoured the evilbays, the Gummy trees and Craig's own list. You found that bike that is your dream and you've made it 'just so'. You got a painter involved, you emailed the bloke what built it and asked for the obscure transfers that have been in a drawer for 10 years, you may have got...

I went out for a bit of a bike ride today. On the way out of Brighton, I saw someone on a pristine Skyway BMX, with the matching shorts, shirt, cap etc. Apart from thinking he must be a bit cold (and probably missing a sony walkman), I didn't really think much else on that until a few hours...

Well I thought I'd wait for the announcement but as its now on the Facebooks, I guess that means its official. Congratulations to Bobcatmax and Mrs Max (of this parish) for bringing a new baby into the world. And of course, welcome to our newest Retrobike Member, Michaela. 6lbs 10 oz...

After seeing the framebuilding thread (and really nice frame) by makster (here: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=297169) It reminded me that yet again, I had promised myself to build my own bike, but hadn't done anything about it. So seeing Maksters thread, obviously, I forgot about that (again) and went on...

Hi All, On our last Audax Jaunt, we were advised this event would be worth looking out for: http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/14-186/ Apparently, the event is held on a loop around Petworth and has a village hall with plenty of food available - certainly if the last event was anything to go...

Or, "How to lose friends and infuriate people" Firstly, a quick apology. I don't have a serviceable camera and therefore, this post will be lacking in the visual department (amongst lacking in many other things). Next is a slightly longer apology, explanation and writeup, however, it'll...

Hello all, Not sure if you have seen this elsewhere, as per title, 100 or 200 km ride from Steyning. £5 quid for Audax UK members, or as I understand it, £7 for non members. Some free food provided on the ride! Also, its not a mudguards event (some events are mandatory mudguards). More info...

This evening I attended an event at The Velo Cafe in Brighton, where their latest display bike was put out for all to see. The bike in question is the Brian Rourke Time Trial bike that belonged to Ian Cammish. Peter Whitfield (Author of Time, Speed and Truth - A History of Time Trailling) gave...

Just a quick note to say thank to all for turning up, was good to say hello to friends and new, I hope you all enjoyed it. Sorry I had to dash of at the very end, something cropped up that I needed to sort out. Now got sunburn! :o

It looks like a nice weekend coming up, a bit Windy, but likely dry and not too cold in the SE Region. Got any biking plans for the weekend? Having been away working for a few days (no biking), I hope to get out for a bit over the weekend. I am determined to get in as much biking as possible...

This year sees the inaugural Retrobike SE division LA-Brightogne-LA spring cake classic, a 40 (ish) mile sea front tour, involving the toughest cake challenges known to cycledom. Just like the famous Liege-Bastogne-Liege, the event will be run on bicycles (similarities fade from there... ) We...

Dear SE members. Firstly this isn't a 'what do you want for the SE section for 2014', it is more being nosey as to what the SE group are planning for themselves. In turn, no doubt if people have similar ideas, it means things could get organised between folks. So: 1) What do you want to do...

Bought a Frame from Ian, he sent me a lot of info, cleaned it up, re-measured it and put up with a lot of boring questions! Frame arrived on time, very well packaged and just as described. Ian kept in touch and has been great to deal with. Highly recommended seller! :)
