Hi Bought this in May '07 and only used it three times. I thought modern forks were mucking up the handling of my Hei Hei which turned out not to be the case so I reverted back to the Kona. A few minor cable rubs, apart from that as good as new. It's been sat in the garage, oiled inside and...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Can't afford a custom job so it'll have to be old faithful.

I've always been one for thinking ahead so I've started to consider the bike I'm going to put together for my retirement 'round the world cycle'. I've looked high and low and I keep coming back to using my '93 Kilauea frame. I'd love to achieve a late-in-life biking adventure with the frame...

I'm building up a Planet X Kaffenback and can't find a supplier of a Waxoyl type internal frame protector (in a can not professionally applied). Can anyone help?

Please don't tell me this will be the last one. Just have to make sure next time the boss doesn't say 'can you have this brief for Monday', on Friday.

Have just moved down from Scotland to Portsmouth so I'll see you lot there after thinking of a suitable excuse not to mow the grass/visit IKEA/'go for a nice walk' etc.

I'm in the process of getting my Kileaeu back together and although it would break my heart to break it a bicycle not ridden is just an utter waste.

I guess that puts to bed all the concerns about radial lacing :shock: .

I absolutely love those forks. Are they suspension corrected and could I be rude enough to ask how much they set you back?

Have a look at the Cycling Plus website or the the one below which has a good archive of reviews from the forum members (in fact it's a bloody good site for a whole lot of stuff). http://www.roadcyclinguk.com/default.asp?sp=&v=1

Just been tooling around looking for a cyclocross frame and this lot came up. If you look near the bottom they have Fuquay steel cross frames, or is this a different Fuquay? http://www.elmycycles.co.uk/Cyclocross_sale.htm

Finished last Thursday and back on the 8th. Now got flu and missing the first dry weather for weeks :x .

I love the way that in America you can abandon a bike for weeks and it doesn't turn into a pile of rust. I can't wait for Summer.

As above, please see my gallery. It needs new pads which are still available, probably could do with a bleed as it's not been in use for a while and the rubber grommet at the base of the lever is past its best. I have checked it over and the pistons are not corroded and move easily. I'm...

I've got a green Ringle bottle cage I could pick up from the folks after New Year.

That is absolutely peachy. Do you still have the Hei Hei, pics if poss please.

Yeah but we get more rain. Doh!

Don't forget, with Steve, Tracy and Liam we're not half bad at MTB either.

How about modern stuff with a retro flavour. I'm thinking Paul V's and Royce hubs etc.

That looks like it's going to be a joy to refurb but how wide are those bars :shock:
