So sad to hear this. 😪 Mayhem was the start of a story for me. I'd never done a mountain bike event. In fact I'd barely ridden a mtb trail. But the lure of Mayhem and meeting everyone in 2017 proved too much so not even being able to drive I managed to get a £50 Kona, bodged it together in a...

Forget that. My car has decided it wants to be broken (the joys of having to buy cheap old bangers) so can't afford anything to do with bikes for the next few months at least.

Sorry guys been away for a bit trying to get my life together. I've sorted all of them except a set with 230mm+ steerer if anyone has anything. Thanks all.

Thanks Ishaw but the only ones there with a long enough steerer are the spinners and I wouldn't be able to fix the damping issue myself. I'm just after some cheap rubbish Suntours or something like that to get them saleable.

Simple answer to that is both 🤣. I bought them as wrecks as the money was going to the local children's hospice. The plan is to fix them up and then sell them and the money made from that will go towards my fundraising. It wont go directly to the charity, I'm trying to raise a couple hundred...

Just updated it with all that I need in the hope of getting at least one of the bikes done.

Hi everyone. So I've got a few bikes in as I ended up buying a bundle to help my local Children's Hospice. They're also going to help me with my fundraising for the hospice that looked after my Grandad so it's a win win. Just wondering if anyone has anything before I resort to those Chinese...

I'm having a clearout and selling anything not attached to a bike to try and raise £200 towards my fundraising. Here we have a front and rear set of Tektro Gemini Hydraulic disc brakes. Pads have plenty of life in them and they work as they should, just been stored for a few months as the...

I'm having a clearout as I need to raise about £200 towards making my fundraising happen so selling anything that's not attached to a bike at the moment. Any questions or for more pictures please message. Tektro Gemini Hydraulic disc brakes. Front and rear set. Working order and pads have a...

That m590 will be ideal if that's ok?

It's a deore m591 shifter but honestly anything similar would be fine. I'm not a snob 😂. If it works then I'll be happy.

Thanks Ishaw. It's so much like my old Marin. I didn't think I was going to get it but got a second chance and had to take a gamble. It paid off. So happy right now. It doesn't need too much. I've got a front brake already and going to use a couple parts from the Marin so the shifter is the...

Hi everyone. So against all odds and after a year of searching I've finally found the bike that will make my fundraising dreams possible. As you know I want to raise money for a mental health charity over the next couple of years and this Whyte will be the bike that makes it happen. It's a bit...

Sorry spankyfart I didn't even see your comment. I really don't get on with gripshift so looking to keep it as trigger shifters but nothing fancy as I can't afford anything like that. I think delivery from the EU would make it too expensive for me to be honest. Thanks though.

So those ones have already gone. Back to looking if anyone can help.

They're ideal. I've just messaged them so fingers crossed they still have them.

Thanks Mark but I already have 2 sets of those. I need older canti / centre pull levers as v brake levers don't work too well with canti brakes.

I appreciate this is probably an impossible ask but no harm in trying. I have just picked up a very rusty voodoo for my Christmas fundraiser this year. Everything was seized on it including the axle on the suntour raidons. It has one of those suntour qloc 15mm axles (non boost) and trying to...

Hi Grahame. Yeah that was the first thing I did as my old muirwoods always had that problem. No luck unfortunately so think I need replacements.

Hi all you lovely retrobike peoples. So I've had a bike in my shed for a while which I want to get fixed up now. It's an early/mid 90s Marin Bobcat trail and the shifters are dead which to be honest is the only problem with it other than a tyre. It has the 3x7 shifter/brake lever (centre pull)...
