Hello experts, I need help jogging my memory again! I’m nearly there with my out of control, strayed from the original plan Mongoose build and I’m stuck at forks. I am really keen to keep on track now with the build, this is not a dream build - Just a dream 16 year old me build. It’s full...

10 years ago I’d have gone into my local bike shop… I don’t have one of those anymore! Where do people get wheels built these days? There’s a distinct lack of decent bike shops in my area (Portsmouth and surrounding areas) and the few that are around are more into e-bikes than building up some...

I’m after a few M570 LX (the blue/grey stuff) bits, there’s plenty on eBay but it’s half beaten to death. To be expected I guess but I’m hoping there might be some clean stuff out there somewhere. - 32H rear hub, non disc for 8/9/10 speed - SORTED ✅ - Rear mech, not a long cage - Shifters -...

I’ve just turned 40 and I thought I should carry on with the Mongoose project I started… 20 odd years ago. The trouble is, certain details have disappeared from my mostly mullered memory. I spend my evenings on eBay, looking for bits. I’ve found the obvious bits now. Raceface cranks, Azonic...

I’ve used this for a year or so, an amazingly sturdy roof mounted carrier to be used with roof rails that have a T-track type system. It is all metal construction and I found it brilliant even at motorway speeds. It is set up with a 110mm boost spacing but I believe that you can buy adapters...

I’m never going to get around to even starting this project, it’s been in my loft 6 years at a guess. I can’t find the bits to finish my number 1 project so this one needs a new home. Really scruffy DMR Trailstar, needs painting for sure to be nice. Comes with some Z2 Bam forks. No idea on...

Schwalbe Smart Sam 27.5 x 2.25 Tanwalls I bought these and never fitted them. £20 the pair, no offers :)

I'm having a bit of a clearout, just let me know if you've got any questions. Works Components Angle Headset To suit tapered steerer tube Full specs can be found here - 2.0 Degree EC44-ZS56 Angle Headset - To Suit Tapered Steerer Tube Brand new, never fitted. £40.00 *NOW £25*...

I’ve got an “original” DMR Trailstar frame in the loft, not of much use there so I should probably sell it. It’s scruffy and in dark blue with red/white decals on it. I’ve also got a nice Barracuda Tia frame up there, it was going to be a beach cruiser… never got around to it! What are they...

Hi all, I’m looking for some riser bars, something along the lines of some World Force etc as pictured below. (I hope you don’t mind me using a picture of your stunner @Luke26mhz !) I’m not too fussed on colour or brand but they must be super clean. Thank you! :)

I’m after a riser bar for my Brian Lopes style Mongoose... eBay seems to turn up completely beaten to death bars with no paint left on them. Kore would be preferable to match my stem but anything clean and jump/dual slalom style would be considered. Cheers all :)

I'm not too fussed on the brand, Club Roost would be lovely, something from around 99/00 would be ideal. Just not something modern. Not likely in this size anyway I guess. Condition is most important, as good as possible :) Thank you!

Hi all, I'm selling my Santa Cruz Chameleon frame as I'm just not getting around to building it! It's a 2000 frame I believe, was black originally but is now bright white. It has horizontal drop outs. I had the frame stripped and powder coated by Solent Powder Finishers who I believe have...

Hi all, I'm fixing up an old BSA Weekender that I've had a while. I've been reading a bit about these bikes and it seems Raleigh used some odd sizes on some of the parts. I need a new bottom bracket and a new headset, could anyone advise me on what sizes I need please? Thank you for any...

Hi all! I'm after a really cheap stem for my pub bike. (Ahead style, 1 1/8 for 25.4 bars) I'd like it short with a high rise please if possible! Cheers all

Can anyone help with this?! I've looked on-line trying to look at what spindle length I will need for my early Chameleon and I will admit it's driving me nuts :lol: I'm hoping to run an older pair of Shimano XT/XTR cranks, if I can find any :D Buuuuuut I can't work out what spindle length...

Hi all, I'm not sure if they are pre 98 or not but I'm hoping someone can help? I've got some lovely XTR boosters but I've lost the bolts and spacers etc. Has anyone got a booster and can let me know what I need to get sorted so I can fit them? Cheers all :)

Sounds daft, I know! For the first time in years I have got a bike worth spending some time and money on so I thought I should do it right. I've read so many stories about how aluminium frames can and can't be powder coated and annoyingly I can't find anyone locally to give me a definitive...

I bought the below Santa Cruz Chameleon frame a year or so ago with the intention of building a retro jump bike. You know it goes, time, money, wife, decorating... Now I've got the opportunity to get on with building something I don't really want a jump bike :facepalm: So I want to get rid...

Hi all... I wonder if anyone can help. The Mrs has got a Raleigh built BSA with a completely seized RHS bottom bracket cup. No big dramas, it isn't knackered. The drama is, the RHS has a manky thread and needs re cutting. I've tried to screw the cup back in but it just goes in crossed so I...
