1997 Marin Muirwoods with great quality 20" cromoly frame. I purchased this bike new, and after initial use as an MTB used it as my 'hack bike'. It's fitted with original 'V' brakes, bars and seat stem. Other components include 26" Mach 1 wheels (incl new tyre); Alivio chainset; Deore rear...

No comments so far ! Any indication as to whether it has any 'retro' value would be appreciated, as I'm unsure whether to sell this and get a new gravel / adventure touring bike, or, if this is of negligible value, I might stick with it. After All, it has a decent cromoly frame.

I've owned this Muirwoods from new, about 1998, but for many years now have just used it as a hack bike. The frame is tatty, commensurate with age, and the front sus is seized. The front mech also needs replacing. The stem, bars, seat pin, brakes and brake levers are original. I'm now...

Re: I must admit that what puzzles me are those cyclists who consider a helmet an essential safety item, but who then proceed to cycle along the highway with earphones, massively impairing their awareness of surrounding hazards. On numerous occasions whilst driving on local country lanes I...

Re: Although I have little doubt that a helmet can provide invaluable protection in the case of an accident, it seems to be a peculiarly British obsession within Europe. Having recently returned from Belgium, and having ridden extensively in Germany and the Netherlands, my observations are that...

My Paganini, complete with contemporary winter training top ! I bought this bike second hand in the early 90's and am guessing it was made in the late 80's. The winter training top dates to the mid /late 80's. I believe that the unfinished Paganini frames were made in Italy and then finished and...
