As the title...I have this little Fire mountain that is lovely, just needs a spec uplift and I want to put V's on it but my head is fried by the little collar cable guide around the seat tube...any ideas? 🤔

Do they have the 'hidden' click to run 8spd? 👀

Morning all, I’ve just bought another Zaskar frame and it’s in need of a good polish. Does anyone have any pointers of companies that do ball burnishing so as to replicate the original finish or am left to just good old elbow grease? Cheers Jimmy

So after securing one of my 2 ‘halo’ bikes a few weeks ago, I thought that was going to be it for acquisitions for a while, so imagine my luck when the second ‘halo’ bike popped up on eBay within days of the DogsBolx that I bought from @retrobikeguy arriving! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Now I’ve been after an...

Does anyone have any experience of running XT 732 Thumbies and 8spd block with a Campag Record OR or Icarus rear mech? I’m guessing the block will be ok but the indexing clicks on the shifter will be out and I’d have to run the shifter in friction? Cheers J 👍🏼

Hi all, I have 3 big builds on the horizon and need to collect a load of bits which I’ll list below. As with all of my builds, these will be ridden so no need for NOS parts, just nice condition parts with any branding in good condition and that won’t need restoring. So, here we go!…...

Now only £9.99 for 26ers!!! https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/lifeline-metal-bike-display-stand Just bought myself a load! 👌

Who do you use to procure the necessary titanium bolts and fixings for your retros? Going to go through my built bikes and future builds and replace what I can with Ti, so just looking for a good quality supplier... Cheers J

Does anyone use these anymore?….

Had this thing kicking about for ages and I'm never going to do anything with it, so someone can have it... Unsure of year and it's had a hard life, but it's all there (I think) and someone can pull it to bits and make something of it I'm sure. Headshock needs a service 17" CtoC SRAM...

Just purchased a ‘94 Manitou HT frame and am keen to start getting the important and awkward bits together… Can anyone tell me or point me in the direction of headset, seatpost and BB sizes or parts please? Cheers Jimmy

Another one that has to go is my '13 Stumpjumper Carbon 29er. Had this thing years and pulled it out of the garage last summer and sent it to my LBS, spending around £400 servicing it and replacing block and chain, rebuilding both hubs and headset, full service of the brakes etc, etc, with the...

With some fairly large and special purchases and builds due in the near future, I've decided to let a couple of bits go to make some room... First up is my '99 Klein Attitude Comp: I bought it last summer along with my Breezer, from @markjohnson76 . It rides absolutely lovely but does have a...

Looks quite funky? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225988783984?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9HHiciv0TAa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTgTNO6vQKC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

As the new owner of one of my 2 all time halo bikes, a CR Dogs Bolx courtesy of @retrobikeguy I’m keen to see interpretations of people’s builds of their DB’s, such as @markjohnson76 ’s lovely thing below: I think I’m fairly clear on how it’ll go, but keen to gather opinions along the way…...

Ok, so this is either going to be seen as the tongue in cheek, fun, parts bin build that it's intended as...Or it's going to get me lynched by a baying crowd with flaming torches and pitch forks...We'll see! 😬 Towards the end of last year, whilst scrolling the for sale section, I came across...
