    Innovations that weren't...

    ^ ..... 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...

    Stripped Crank Thread - Not Pedal Thread 🙁

    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.

    Innovations that weren't...

    :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.

    Magic Ratio for Single Speed. Any Experiences?

    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...

    ebay found a new way to screw with buyers

    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...

    ebay found a new way to screw with buyers

    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 Retrobikes passing through Bikeworkshop in Bristol

    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.

    Stripped Crank Thread - Not Pedal Thread 🙁

    ..... 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...

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    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.

    Is this seat post Chorus Aero 1st generation?

    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...

    (in the voice of Sean Locke) Whaaaaattttt?????? HOOOOOOowwwwwwww? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

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

    (in the voice of Sean Locke) Whaaaaattttt?????? HOOOOOOowwwwwwww? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

    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.

    Frame id needed.. painted over Titanium? Team USA. Nice!

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

    Frame id needed.. painted over Titanium? Team USA. Nice!

    Yes, in general rule that is certainly the make up in the MTB early era as construction was concerned. But there are certainly "one-offs" around from lesser known - some even in Europe ;) China is also not too far behind. Early production Parkpre for example, having had the first issues...

    CC. @TheRadioGuyUK Neither. Certainly not qualified enough. He/she does not show any strengths in those departments so to speak.

    Revelations about the past of Mauro Gianetti, Pogacar’s Manager (Radio France Investigation, Translation in post)

    Super charged. In the field. On the road. There are the occasional WTF moments of doom or glory in one day Classics. And in retrospective it is more of a WTF. Worth watching and historical understanding IMHO.

    Dent in steel seat tube. Intervention needed??

    Get another child and put the child seat back on is the proper answer. No one complained before removing it. ;)

    Parts , bikes and project bikes

    Love this. There's like "cobbled together" but it is not "cobbled together". On the functioning limit. 🥰 Lovely build.

    Can Alu frames ever feel like Steel frames?

    And wearing known shoes compatible to whatever the test bed as got. Which is usually some crap with reflectors necessary by law at the point of sale. Insisting "please put these on" for a test ride was typically greeted with a "OK" in my limited experience - XT SPuDs.
