So the stupid og Seatpost moves, crap design.. So I buy a new post, uno to match the stem except it does not fit… Investigation shows weld swell and crap down the seat tube so for the first time in twenty years or so I’ve gotten a reamer out of my toolbox. Gently cleaned it all out, greased...

Would look better and used to be setup this way but my back says more important I can enjoy riding it.. I have an old kileaua which is set up more traditionally but it’s a half hour tops bike or I pay the next day.. it’s got a 120 long stem and flat bars with xlite bar ends, looks perfect but...

I am not a big fan of Matt paint on anything, hence all the more old school polished parts and low level bling colour bits from middleburn and xlite in the colours of the tube set decal. I couldn’t afford this when I got it , so it didn’t have the full xt, and it didn’t have the hope/mavic...

Yep, less so with high rise bars and losing the project twos, but still very agile. Thankyou

Day off today, so I finished tinkering, and installing the Pace airforce I’ve had for ages, Wanted for over twenty years in this bike I’ve had from new as a frame only purchase.. It feels just about perfect now, though today may not leave time for a proper ride. The bars came off here, the forks...

And the average man in the street couldn't strip a bike, most people I work with, use halfords or similar to fix punctures... mental nonsensical behaviour but fits the current narrative I guess. I was born a grumpy old man in a shed.

Thankyou, Googling which was weird as most things bicycle are purchased off of this here forum..! I see there are new satin finish lx and xt hubs, but I was assuming they were simple badge engineered tiagra or whatever, ie not such quality as the late nineties lx and xt that's on most bikes I...

So years ago I bought some nos 36hole mavic rims off Ebay. 36h by accident didn't register, it was a long time ago.. anyhow with the situation on 32h rims for rim brakes getting more of a pain I am pondering what my options would be on getting late nineties shimano or hope rim only or something...

Ooh yes please! Will pm and send some cash! Ha hah!

Hi there, The bag with the jockey wheels and the cog hog if still available? Got a good use for them on a build I'm doing for someone. Regards Ben

Hi there, If circa £25 postage got me a pile that size of mags I couldn't justify buying each issue, then I would be well pleased and very appreciative. Let me know many thanks.

Hi there whats a guess at postage? I've a few odd copies of single-track and always thought it a good publication.. Alas I am down in central Wiltshire.. kind regards Ben.

There’s not a suitable group near me that I’m aware of. There’s a group full of rich, healthy sorts on mega money moderns, I know a couple of them. It’s not for me just now though. In fact I did this post mid life crisis twenty yrs ago I joined a classic mini club locally, it was scary then...

What's the pit to pit measurement please, If there's any chance I can wear this, I would be happy to purchase it. Many thanks Ben

Lots of great south west riding in my neck of the woods, nr Devizes, Wiltshire.
