I don’t sell that much but now that there’s a badge for feedback, I’m totally into feedback! Whatever your feedback, feed it back… 🙏

I’m still kicking myself for missing a set of 4-spoke Spinergy RevX Rox wheels on EBay recently. Cosmetically great but with a slight buckle that made them cheap, £299 for a pair I seem to remember. They would have been the final piece for an Orange P7 “wall hanger” bike build to replace the...

Got a few sets of cranky Manitous in the garage I’ve been planing to make into a pair of table lamps. 3D printed a base that uses the forks inherent ability to stand upright plus a QR skewer to keep it all in place. Then had the “genius” idea of using LED strips around the steerer tube instead...

If you have any cranky old Manitou Mk1 forks that are cosmetically ok but not really not fit to ride on, I’m interested. I have one pair already and need a matching set for a pair of lamps. If they’re 1 1/8” steerer, that would be a bonus as it will save on resisting the top fixing gubbins...

I’m looking to turn a set of ropey (but visually good) Manitou 1s into a lamp. As you do. Saw the photo below online and thought the brakes are a nice touch, but I don’t have any spare cantis that have the gravitas to match the mighty Manni. Long shot, but does anyone have a set of front...

SORTED! Replacement wheels on their way. RetroBike FTW. 👌 Mine have the dreaded eyelet crack so want to rebuild. Not super bothered about colour but ideally the blue label versions. 32 hole. Need to be fairly decent nic, and not silly price obvs. 👌 Here’s what I’m dealing with…

I have a pair of 1991 Suntour XC Pro levers and one of them has a busted return spring. In reality, it works just as well without one as they spring back fairly well thanks to the caliper springs but, well, you know. Clearly, nobody is going to waste their time making and selling a 15p component...

Wasn’t expecting to post about this but turned out better than expected so thought I’d share. In a nutshell, have a set of Suntour XC Pro cranks that came on the 1991 Zaskar I’ve owned since new. The centre “crank pull” threads finally gave way many years back. Also, one of the granny ring...

Oh lord, took my Manitou 1’s apart today and the stanchions are properly pitted. I’m on the look out for some spare ones but if that doesn’t happen, has anyone had any luck rechroming fork stanchions? I’ve looked into motorbike fork renovation and it consists of measuring the existing...

Have a pair of Manitou 1’s but they have a Mk 2 crown and a rust spot in the stanchions. Looking to restore to original spec with a plain 1 1/8th crown (without cutouts on the shoulders) and/or stanchions in decent order. Long shot, but hit me up if you have something at not silly money.

Suntour XC Pro thumbies. My originals were from 1991 so something close to that vintage would be ace. The single lever jobbies not the weird dogbone version. Got anything lying in box somewhere? 👌

Looking to replace the one on my 1992 Zaskar. The front plate fractured after 20 years. 1 1/8”. Not fussed about length but must be over 100mm. Or just the front plate. Silver ideally.

Been trying to sell the wheels that came with a quirky (fixie) track bike build to get some with machined surfaces... but nobody wanted them. :( Probably let down by the basic hubs so have stripped them down and offering the OR10 rims on their own. Probably early-mid '80s? On ebay with no...

Decided to service them and found the red stack (right leg) had seen better days so figured someone else may appreciate the bits. Steerer is 1" 1/8th and is 178mm. Crown has some smooth grooves on the top of the crown where the brake cables have rubbed over the years (they are off a '93...

Great site btw. Think I've found my spiritual home... Now trying to reunite my '93 Zaskar with a set of Manitou 1's. Preferably 1" 1/8th. Can't believe I lent them to a mate in '97! Haven't seen them since. :( Anyone got a nice, clean set going spare? Cheers Dino
