Looking for a good condition triple chainset with 170mm cranks.

Looking for some cranks for a retro cx build. Needs to be 165mm and 110 bcd. Ideally Shimano Hollowtech BB compatible. Condition not important!! Thank you

Ive finally been able to get my hands on an almost mint '95 Eldridge Grade. Everything says Eldridge but frame number suggests Pine Mountain so I'm guessing a Pine Mountain frame with Eldridge parts and decals. What are the differences in the 2 frames if any? Thanks

In my younger days I had a '93 Mt Shasta Tempest then a '95 Univega Alpina 501. Then a big gap of 20 odd years and a yearning for something retro so I saw a Saracen advertising locally on Gumtree for not a huge amount of money After a clean up she looks a beauty and totally original. The gears...

Picked this up earlier today. It had a good layer of dust but after a quick wash down she has come up looking good. There's a couple of deep scrapes on drive side forks and seatstay but other than that it's in great condition with all original parts. Took her for a quick 5 mins spin and she...

Hi My first real venture into retro bikes although I did have a not very good Kona Cinder Cone from '89 that I had for a few months. Ive seen a good condition 97 Terratrax, with all original bits, going for a reasonable price and Im tempted but I am really looking for an early 90s Kona. How...

I have a 1990s steel frame - 531c. A 27.2mm post is too big so I'm thinking a 27.0mm is right. Does anybody have anything lurking in the garage, ideally in silver?? Thanks

I have, or I think I have.......... Paul Milnes 531 steel cyclocross frame. I don't the the year or much about it. There are no reference numbers or stamps on the frame or steerer tube. Here is what I do know... 1" threaded headset Top tube cable routing Top pull front mech Mudguard...

Hi. Ive been given a late 80s/early 90s steel cyclocross frame. It has canti bosses on the front that are 65mm ctc apart. The selection of cantis in my parts box dont fit so should I be looking for a specific type that work on 65mm spacing? If so any clues on make/model etc.... Thanks

A tip rescue a few years ago not bad condition and just sat in the loft since.. Some surface rust here and there. But the seatpost is stuck and I havent the time, motivation or inclination for another project. No actual pics but it looks like this Free collection from Leicester.

Always wanted a Univega frame as I rode one as a kid. I got this a few years ago and has just sat in the loft since. In reasonable condition with a few marks on frame and just needs building by somebody who knows what they are doing!! The seatpost seems to be stuck and the casette and skewers...

Hi Just returned from the tip after rescueing, much to the annoyance of the guy at the tip, a Univega Alpina Uno. It a baby blue-ish colour with a subtle camaflogue type look. Its complete, paintwork is ok, chain rusted solid, stem and bars pitted but everything is original. Any clues...

Hi My commuter hack needs a replacement r/h 7 speed shifter. Either on its own or a lever/shifter combo. Can be a thumbie or quickfire. Do you have one kicking around in your parts bin??? Thanks Charlie

Hi I have an old raleigh that has Shimano 3x7 set up. Its my commuter bike on a flat commute so only use about 3 gears. The right hand shifter is about done in and I dont use the left at all. Would a pair of V brake levers and a thumbshifter for the right work?? Do I need to replace like for...

Hi. Just testing the water really. I've got a 16" paint splatter frame and some non matching grey p2 forks. I got the f and f when I swapped with another forum member for a rebuild project using donor parts. I've got a saddle and new bb and seatpost. TBH I've run out of enthusiasm and wondered...

Hi. I'm looking to build an inexpensive cx bike for my commute down a canal towpath and am looking for a set of wheels that will take a 32mm tyre. Shimano 8 speed hub preferred. Thanks Charlie

Dear Santa I have an old Diamond Back Horizon, TT 23" ST 20", thats too big for me as I need something smaller, I'm 5'8", and plan to swap all the parts over. Do you have an old frame, condition not important, for a wannabe retro rider? Or a straight swap for a complete bike? Charlie

Hi. I'm looking for a smallish Saracen or Dawes (i am 5'8") from the early/mid nineties. 17" 18". Midlands area for collection but can arrange courier for elsewhere. Let me know what you have!!!
