    It had no chain stay bridge so I bought it ...

    As above :) The pics on the tablet show a black frame and that's about it. No chain stay bridge, vertical dropouts forks fairly straight and only a single over the BB cable guide. No idea what it is but it's 70's and sort of TT territory http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Reynolds-531c ...

    Lost my Shimano crank remover..modern equivalent?

    Afternoon :) Typical, I can't find my old trusty 22mm Shimano crank remover which I have had since the 70's :( Is there a modern equivalent I can find of good quality? I was looking at the Shimano TL-FC10. I guess it will work on all 22mm cranks (Shaimano / Campag / SR). Thanks Shaun

    SBDU frame sprayed with 18 carat gold paint........

    Hmmm...... glued on badge as well. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-753-S ... 20edaf1fd8 It's been sprayed with 18 carat gold spray paint, decaled and lacquered. Being an ex-pro team racing frame it does not have a serial number, as is often the case Shaun

    BT Internet down / Ebay rant

    Don't often have a rant but sitting here just a bit miffed as BT has been very flakey today and e-bay not working :( A Classic 1970's SR stem came up and I bid a miserly £10 to keep it in view and towards the end of the auction BT Internet gave in and it went for £10.07 ...

    I came across this looking for some forks, they are in the background .......I have them in my office and looking to use them for a Carhall frame but what about the rest? £210 for a bike with some sort of welding to the rear seat stays? What's the seat stay treatment about? Shaun

    Someone on here rebuild my wheels?

    I'm looking for a pair of my wheels rebuilt......not worth a lot in money terms but mean a lot to me from a sentimental point of view. They are the first wheels I bought brand new, mixture of Saturday work and paper round. Suzue large flange on Fiamme, couldn't afford anything more expensive...
