YST Rambo threaded headset in 1"1/4. It felt OK before removal but please assume the bearings may benefit from replacement. Ideally it wants repainting or polishing hence the cheap price. Paypal f&f or cover the fees please. Postage via Royalmail 2nd class small parcel is £3.29

** SOLD ** Clearing out a few bikes I won't get around to restoring in the comming weeks. First up is this Raleigh Gemini Trail XC. Not sure of the exact year but I'm going to guess around 90/91 due to the parts fitted. I was going to build it up for some long distance offroad rides but I've...

Some parts I have left over from a 1991 Kona Cinder Cone I owned a while back. All in used condition but work fine, please see pictures. Just let me know if you want anymore pictures of any parts. Suntour XC LTD 175mm cranks arms. All threads and tapers are fine £12 Suntour XC LTD Brake...

I will probably regret selling these as being a 1" threaded steerer (replaceable) and canti or disc they would fit a multitude of projects but i tend to mainly stick to rigid forks. I have given them a wipe over and as you would expect some paint loss on the lowers. A friend polished the legs on...

Just a few bits for now but more to come in the coming days and weeks. All prices excluded postage, I will send via whichever courier you prefer at cost. If paying via PayPal can you do f&f or cover the fees please. If you need more pictures just ask. SOLD - STX cantis x 4. Include the correct...

I must admit I've been rather fortunate these last few years and have managed to get nearly all the bikes I wanted, but couldn't afford, as a teenager in the early 90s. There was one that had eluded me however and that was a Titan 1/2 trac. Whilst not mega rare I can't imagine they produced huge...

I've found a small part on ebay I would like but the seller doesnt list postage. I have asked if they would consider it but got a complete blank so far. Is anyone local who could potentially collect it for me and post it on and I will buy you a drink for your troubles and of course cover the...

Not mine, and hardly any original components left, but they dont come up for sale all that often...

Just spotted another Marin Team Ti frameset for sale. Looks like a 96 to me ...

I've said it before but will say it again I do have a thing for bikes from 89. I got my first decent bike in 89, a Bear Valley, and spent most of my time lusting after other bikes in MBA. So when this popped up the other day I had to have it. I already have a CR II so this is a nice little...

A few weeks back another member listed a Yeti FRO for sale. To be honest I don't need any more projects, I still haven't finished my Ultimate and have loads of others waiting for me to get around to, but the FRO is another bucket list bike for me. My rationale was buy this and get rid of some of...

My latest project needs to go on a diet. Anyone got a ti expander bolt, min 140mm, and some crank bolts for square taper cranks. The crank bolts dont need to be the self extracting style as I have some rather nice dust caps on the cranks. Thanks in advance.

I spotted these when looking for some lightweight tubes. Personally I would rather have presta but I will make an exception at this price. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/michelin-c4-aircomp-latex-mtb-inner-tube/rp-prod20472

I quite often see bikes with forks on backwards and other rookie mistakes but this is a new one on me.. I wonder how it shifts. Like a pos I should imagine.

Both free to anyone that can collect from Farnborough in Hampshire. 1991 Saracen Traverse hydrotech frame. Suspect one of the bb threads is damaged as cups screw in but axle doesn't sit straight. Easy work around would be to use one of those bb's that screws into itself especially for frames...

I recently got these forks off a crappy old Trek. Some of your may remember it from the ebay & marketplace forum. I'm no Kona expert, never even ridden one to be honest, but I'm pretty sure these are Track Two's but happy to be corrected. After dealing with the corroded and rounded crown...

So what are the chances of this happening. My brother had a 1989 Team Marin which he bought from a friend of ours in about 1990. Around 91/92 a BMW pulled out on him near to the Houses of Parliament in central London resulting in a bent top tube and down tube. The tubes were replaced but he...

Truth be told I wasn't really looking for another bike but these things have a habit of popping up and I'm too weak to refuse. I could see from the ad most of the XTR was missing and it wasn't super cheap but I thought I would take a gamble and go have a look as it wasnt too far away. On the...

Spotted these at the end of the aisle in Wilkos this morning. Looks like the next cheapest online is about £7 plus postage and over a tenner from Muc-Off themselves. Picked up a couple for the winter/commuter bike.

It's been about 30 years since I last touched a Manitou 1 so please excuse the question. I have just fitted some fresh elasomers in mine and notice if you bounce them and from where they settle you can then if you pull the lowers get them to extend about 1.5cm further. On the picture below the...
