    Giant Cadex problem

    I have a Giant Cadex Aluminium frame I built up as a hybrid. All is working well apart from the seatpost. I have tightened the bolt as much as I feel it should and yet the seatpost keeps slipping down when riding. It's the correct size for the seat tube. Any gentle ideas to solve this...

    2005 NOS Brian Lopes frame build.

    Finished this a while back and it's lovely to ride. Video of the build too, which had a few problems. Bottom bracket thread, seized V brake and a sting in the tail wit the pre installed headset cups. 😬 Hope you enjoy my awful editing! 🤣

    New Canondale F500...

    Well it's like new! Just picked up this beauty, all original and like it came from the factory. Paint is near immaculate! Canondale grips and all! The headshok just needed a bit of pressure. Let's hope she holds it. Savage color! 1 owner from new. I don't think I'll change a thing on this...

    Gt I Drive rebuild... the honest way.

    So this GT I Drive 1.0 is fighting me, I'm pretty sure it's a 2001. https://photos.app.goo.gl/g8AzE2tjj9b2dphp9 I have been reading up on how to rebuild this and found some people talking about it in 2009 and some helpful chap on another forum put up an original GT manual with pictures but...

    Isis cranks

    So I picked up a Gt I Drive 1.0 the day before I went on holidays. I gave it a glance over and realised it needed a new shock kit, forks rebuilt and there was play in the BB. No play in the Idrive system but I'll take it out for a clean and regressed. I stupidly ordered the wrong BB by using...

    Addiction...

    So on the 18th of March I purchased my first retro bike... a 1998 I think Kona hahanna. A mate of mine back in our school days had one and I was forever jealous! So I bought one and have gotten it back to a reasonable standard. Then a cheap frame came up on ebay in the exact color and size my...

    Bottom bracket nearly bet me.

    So my GT Agressor steel frame decided to put up a fight. I have made the decision to go all in and paint the thing and show it some love but the BB felt like there was gravel in it so before throwing anymore money at it I had to see if I could get it out. First try was a normal ratchet, then...

    Wanted Dawes Super Galaxy

    I'm looking for a Dawes Galaxy 15 or 16 inch size. Full bike prefered but may consider a frame or partial bike. If anyone has one I'd appreciate if they were consider parting with it to get in touch. Cheers, the Goat.

    Anyone live near Guildford Surrey?

    I need a favour and will cover all costs. I bought a frame on Ebay but the seller can't/won't post it. It's a bike charity shop so it's a 9.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday but they won't post as they don't have boxes. I need someone to pick it up box it and send it to Ireland if possible. It's a...

    Manitou sx 1998 shock

    I have taken apart my new to me 1998 manitou sx shock and although it looked serviceable but very used on the outside I knew something wasn't quite right while riding it. The inner compression spring was broken in 3. I can't seem to find this part online or in a local spring supplier that...
