Tatty but very useable: lots to like and a quality frame. Daccordi Linky (Is there a way to link with pics on an iPad?)

Like those. My brother had one - first ‘proper’ road bike I rode: very engaging ride and more than the sum of its parts. Inexternal brazing is v. Cool too. (EBay one is prolly a bit over priced, and any description that starts with an AI “Elevate your ….” needs flaming.)

Yes, that’s it 👆. I’ll happily send stuff most places, but the genius of the current US administration has put paid to that for the time being.

Have a couple of sweet Mavic M261 rims available. Silver, unused, never laced, 36 hole. £110 posted to the U.K. no over seas. Will dig them out for pictures if there is any interest. 😎

These are heading for the ‘bay, but I’ll offer them here first. Not a bargain, but the best looking Vees and hard to find unused these days. £150 posted to the U.K. Overseas shipping possible but will be a bit extra. Not to the USA though.

Retro parts bin shitters FTW! @Tsundere that’s a stunner. 😎 This one is off to Leeds full time soon, so will see how it fares:

What steel is that? looks like it might be heat treated, but I don’t recognise the cross section. Is there a key?

Happy to say that this has found its new home.

Thanks GIGFY. Putting mine up for sale has made me think about this a bit and I’ve come to the conclusion that there is still a market for quality old stuff (my Dave Lloyd frame walked out of the door for asking price), but the bike world has splintered into so many niche trends that you have to...

Now available as a frameset only, or as frameset plus build options. See first post for details.

Rationalising some stalled projects, so here’s a rare chance to get hold of a fabulous Dave Lloyd road frame. It’s a concept 90 which is I think one of, or the first incarnation of compact geometry in road frames. Fillet brazed by Dave in 1992 (frame number is LL92612 which tallies with...

Grab that if you’re down there.

Cool. Some excellent bikes and colours in 87, and feels like a rare year. The 87 Team Stumpjumper is a grail bike - never seen one in the flesh or on any forums/ sale sites. A couple of murky pics on the internets. I read somewhere that Dave Tesch who was engaged to build them wasn’t able to...

This. Get the subscription. (Also the only one I pay for.) It works on your phone, which you can keep in your pocket, or bag, pannier etc. and retrieve when needed (strapping a digital guidance device to your bars is so not Retrocool). It’s OS, so you get all the good info on pubs, gradients...

Thanks Guys; the gearing is 42 26 up front on a 110 BCD triple. (Sugino XD2 available through Spa Cycles) Stronglight rings with the outer running a chain guard: 11-32 at the back. Rear mech is a silver Microshift 9sp, with a Suntour XC triple up front.

NOW SOLD Have been re-assessing my bike needs, and much as I love it, I’m not riding my Randonneur enough; I’d like it to go to a new home. Full bike as pictured still for sale at £500, but also as frame-set with build options. See the bottom of this post. It has many quality but discontinued...

RBG - Racing British Green? Very cool.

Like that a lot. Especially the way you have dialled it for you; bike transport is personal and real world use is the best crucible for getting things right. (DiNucci green is prolly the best colour for a Specialized ever 😎. It is named after Mark DiNucci, who designed the Specialized bikes in...

This was a blast. Many thanks Paul for making it happen. Have added a ride report to the Today’s Ride thread

So, thanks to @pwebb, a pal and I got hold of free passes to the Gravel Rocks race round the fabulous Duncombe estate in North Yorkshire. It was a proper competitive event over the weekend with a short, sharp night stage and two more long rides over the hills and moors. Original thread. I opted...
