I saw an ad for this on Gumtree...once seen cannot be unseen arrrrgh. Bargain £95

I have just had to scrap a 92 Kona Fire Mountain since the BB is totally seized and the end caps have desintegrated with my efforts to remove them. It's toast and anyway it is of course worth more as parts...so parts it will become! An Exage groupset and the P2s, Velocity stem and bars, dog...

Just started watching this, some mad 6ft 6in guy trying to ride the length of the UK on a standard BMX. If he wants to pedal he has to stand up. He is also taking all his gear with him! I'd lve to try it before I turn 70...but maybe not on a BMX.

I have 2 of these so this one has to go. It is an original spec bike as it was bought from the shop in California in 1996 by the original owner who I bought the bike off last year. (See sticker in photo.) It comes with Manitou Answer Mach 5 forks as specified by the owner when he bought it...

First one of these I've ever seen for sale. Seems pricey for a single speed but maybe it's the rarity value? https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/kona-kaboom-/1425330787

I bought a Spa Audax frame from eBay last year, I could not resist the £75 asking price for a Reynolds 725 frame with nice relaxed geo and enough space for 30mm tyres. I built it up mainly with some old Ultegra bits from the parts bin, together with some very swish Ultegra carbon wheels that I...

I picked up this "Kona Kula" very cheap in rough shape. I suspected it had been resprayed since the flat grey colour doesn't match any Kona Kula I can find. When I got it home and started to strip it I am beginning to doubt if it is a Kula although I am confident that the frame is a Kona, it...

It all began with this post by London Classic highlighting a frame on eBay being offered for silly money (£16.32) https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/56cm-raleigh-touriste-frame-and-bits-for-%C2%A316-32-hants.492315/ With it being less than a 30-minute drive from me I was interested. I was...

Not my thing but this looks great for 35 quid! https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/rayleigh-superbe-dawn-tourist/1495936456

I have a set of 700c P2s with a lovely 300mm steerer tube that I would like to convert to 26" wheels. So I guess I need to get the old bosses taken off and some new ones brazed on. Any ideas how much this is likely to cost and who might do such a thing. I don't seem to have any frame builders...

I took apart my old 90s forks to check the elastomers, and much to my surprise, they were all OK except for one small black one that had the consistency of chewing gum. I took it out and have sourced a replacement. In the meantime I left the black one on my glass patio table, still looking like...

Anyone have one of these please. Thanks John

I stripped my Stumpjumper forks down today, put them back together so I don't lose any bits but then realised I had left the boots off! I think they look better without them. Any thoughts?

I just took my Manitou Amswer Mach 5 SX fork apart from my 96 Stumpy and was amazed to see the elastomers were pretty much all in pristine condition. The pink ones and blue ones were all great, the orange one was perfect...but the black one at the very bottom of the right hand fork leg was like...

Anyone else been looking for a replacement for that lost plastic bung. When I bought my 95 Team Marin from the original owner he was proud to say it was all complete...apart from the little plastic bung that he knew was somewhere along the towpath of the Canal Du Midi in South West France. For...

Morning all! I have been awake since before 6am this morning when my dog started barking. She is usually very good at staying quiet until my getting up time at 8am so this was a little annoying. I got up, let her out she went out into the garden and about 2 minutes later she started barking to...
