Congratulations there @PhillB ! Clear winner with a very lovely CX and this months theme. 🥰

Blimey. Mountains of good stuff there. 😲

Certainly clean sleek looking hiding these internal wedges. Definitely the "aero" was the fashion of the day. Feels there is some compromise going on between weight and complexity - thinking of these too: https://www.oldbici.it/product/shimano-dura-ace-ax-hs-7300-silver-stem-100mm-nib/...

👍 Have seen a similar seat-post arrangement before on something from mid/late 80s. Can't remember though - Moser and Coppi bikes also set about with alternative clean looking methods in the quest for aero. https://condorino.com/2016/09/12/legnanos-unique-seat-lug-and-binder-bolt-design/

Love this too. Need to ask, did Donohue really do the blow torch work? The rear stays are lovely, is there like a cam fitting in the top-tube for the seat-post? Vague memory says Raleigh and Peugeot did something on similar lines for a period, but never figured out how it actually works. Sure...

oooouff. Can't imagine many of those around. They would have been made custom to order. Probably some still stuffed in attics / barns / garages waiting to be (re-)found.

^ ..... and not a new concept either. It's technical implementation is stuff a bit dusted off and more available and cheaper. It's modern proliferation is more to do with marketing men - need to re-invent, create need again, etc. etc. Never in the history of bikes, was there not someone...

You could do what any "normal" individual does here. Stick it in the "For Sale" section has "NOS - Mounted Only Once". If it doesn't sell ride it to death. :LOL: Eitherway, yeah ...... best to move on in green open pastures and graze blissfully. I hear Middleburn do good shit. Call me weird.

:LOL: - do you not grease your seat-posts when fitting them? When a saddle is on the end of it too that would be an horror to handle road / track side.

Done it loads of times in the past. The Magic Gear calculator is excellent to get you in the ball park and try combinations. In my experience a brand new chain can quickly develop some slack - which is sort of frustrating when experimenting. Always found it best to use chains from a bike with a...

It's practically everywhere - not just the UK. https://www.img.banquepopulaire.fr/app/uploads/sites/5/2025/04/04092821/eai-fichedescriptive-7685-english.pdf As for Ebay, the report to the Tax authority (which I get a copy of) is absolutely dreadful and incomplete; it doesn't even state if...

Already happened to me (and countless others). They have all my ID on file due to KYC. 29 Spam Email messages last Tuesday all starting with my name in the subject title. Based on a single search I did 15mins prior. Pi$$es me off.

Some great stuff passes through your hands. 🥰 It may not be exotica, but will make people happy. That Argos with cantilevers is quality and really lovely. A very reasonable "do it all" bike just wanting some TLC is lurking there.

..... put it back on? 🤔 ;) 👍 🤪 Seriously, why did it need to come off? To replace the BB? I'm fully in the @elite504 camp - not worth tooling up nor repairing. A damaged crank arm is either good bolted to the bike still doing it's job, or for the tip IMHO...

Not nerdy. We all know anything with a battery - retro or not, is the work of the devil. This is what is needed. Bowden cables, worm gears, whatsits that go "tick", analogue dials and chrome shit.

^ Excellent input. Site owner is a well renowned member here. 👍

Yes ..... sort of. Sold one just like it years ago and remembered it was a fuss. Nice seat-post. https://velobase.com/Pages/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=D4B9D11D-DBE8-416E-A8A6-BD8C4B45DC75&Enum=105&AbsPos=8...

Is not like an old school bicycle fit jig - but for off-road use or bike polo or wheelies ?

With a downtube and top-tube that length, I reckon the extra 2.5mm either side of a normal 68mm would make all the difference in lateral stiffness.

..... and in all the fuss. How could this name got forgotten / lost on the radar? https://moots.com/uniquely-moots/history/#timeline
