I am selling my green 2014 Salsa Vaya 3 in size 57. I am 1,84m/6ft tall and its a perfect fit. The bike is complete apart from the saddle (I am not ready to let go of my Brooks saddle yet). All the components are as I bought it from Charlie the Bikemonger in 2014, apart from the tyres and bar...

Hi MS They can go on either front or rear - I used (or tried to use) them both as rears - the 2.2's were too wide hence me getting the 1.85's. They look the same so you could use them as a front and rear set but as I recall the tyres did not get decent reviews for use in front. L

I've got the following tyres for sale: 1 x Michelin Mountain All-Terrain - 26 x 2.2 Black Folding - £10.00 onco (was only on the bike for 5 miles) 1 x Michelin Mountain All-Terrain - 26 x 1.85 Black Folding - £7.00 onco (used once at Glentress) 1 x WTB Moto Raptor Comp Tyre 2010 - 26 x...

Thanks for everybody involved in arranging the outing. It was a great day out, and nice to meet you guys. I would have loved to stay for the BBQ but I just couldn't keep up the macho image - I had to get to the car to break down and cry. Ouch - downhill with a rigid frame & fork... I...

Paid for a stem and received, in a very short spaced of time, a stem as described! :o :D Effortless transaction and friendly - thanks!

Aaargh - I do apologise for any hurt feelings! It was not the intention! Bullpup - I asked my wife to measure my inside leg but she just gave me the suspicious eye and a snort. Can't help you there in terms of comparison. But like the other people on the forum said - you'll probably be...

Hmmm - thats good to know... Maybe I should just trust the Orange a bit more! The 130mm stem was bought yesterday! Hope that the 10mm extra will make all the diffs!

Bullpup I'm 17st and your length. I've got a 21" Clockwork Orange and while the height is perfect the reach is just, just too short. I just feel that bit too cramped on the bike. The Orange is amazingly light and really such a nice bike but I'm scared that I'm too heavy for it (I'm not doing...

Confirmed - I've got a day pass from the missus!! The Bro-in-law would be coming along - not on a retro bike but a steel frame... Where/when will the final arrangements be made? Times, cost, etc?

After the 21" Specialized Hardrock... PM'ed manitou916 and nevadasmith...

Ohhhhhhh - drool. And a free bump.

Re: Garage cleaning...nice stuff Interested if they are 8 speed...

Karma (modern - Sorry) frames Karma frames I've got a modern (2006'ish) 21" Giant Boulder frame and also a (2006'ish) 20" Raleigh hardtail frame available. Neither of the frames did more than 100 km's. Headset and bouncy forks included with both frames (cheap - don't get your hopes up!)...

That puts it nicely in perspective, and seeing that I qualify too I'll pencil the date in. I might even be able to convince the 3rd Reich (aka missus) that I need to buy a bouncy fork and new tyres for this competitive event. The Fat Man will ride again. How far is Borders Hospital...

Hi All, Desperate for a 1" Impact (threaded) headset - if it's only the top part then it's also ok... Actually looking for 2 of them so don't be shy! :D :D Pictures preferred. A fistful of crisp notes waiting for the right candidates...
